The spacecraft obtained the images during its Oct. 14 flyby, passing 1,142 miles (1,839 kilometers) above the moon's surface. Mission controllers say the spacecraft will continue transmitting images and other data from the encounter for the next several days.
So, even NASA has to use a Tivo in their probes to skip ads...
CloudFlare stands in the way between you, and more and more of the internet, and they don't like TOR: try to browse with TOR, and many, many sites suddenly become "protected" by unsolvable captchas that get served every 3 pages - practically making those sites unavailable.
CloudFlare is essentially passing judgment on who is allowed to access the site they front and how. So they sure don't have any lessons to give on free speech...
To the Beeb's credit though, the Sky at Night in UHD would definitely be a lot more interesting, surely. But out of thousands of mediocre shows and movies released year after year after year, is it worth buying a new tv to marvel at a dozen really good programs? Somehow this don't seem to be a good value proposition.
You're talking about cannabis here. I agree with you, cannabis is fairly harmless, and should not be anymore illegal than tobacco is.
But crack cocaine? Ecstasy?... Really?
I don't give a shit that people do crack. The problem is, when crackheads start suffering withdrawal and they're too broke to buy more junk, they become robbers and break into people's homes - something potheads don't do.
You don't really want crack to become legal do you?
I was reading the blurb, half-thinking that this is cool that this is happening" - you know, after the resounding success of the Rosetta mission, anything to do with a comet seems possible. And then I read "carbon nanotube tether" and I stopped reading, as this is yet another NASA dream that'll never happen, like the space elevator.
But it's the same thing: at some point, companies that pay to push ads are bound to notice people get pissed off, their sales aren't increasing as much as they'd like after running advertising campaigns after campaigns, and pushing ads turns out to be counterproductive. Then they'll stop paying to push ads.
It's extremely clear that most everybody hates ads with a passion - else why would so many people install ad blockers eh?
So even if ad blockers were to disappear tomorrow, what makes advertisers feel that forcing ads down the throat of people who hate them increase sales for their customers?
To me, it seems that either people hate ads, block them and won't buy the shit being advertised, or people hate ads, can't block them and won't buy the shit being advertised regardless.
Worse, forcing people to see ads they don't want to see may very well antagonize them. Me, when I see an ad that gets through my ad blockers, I remember the product as something I'll make extra sure I'll never, ever buy.
So what's the business model here? I can't believe enough people actually like ads to make online advertising a viable business proposition...
it's because ads are pollution of the mind, advertizing agencies (not just on the internet) commoditize people's brain runtime without asking their permission, and people generally FUCKING HATE IT.
Nevermind your own dinky router: any traffic you send on the internet is exploited by greedy "big data" companies and rogue 1984-style government agency. And encryption doesn't stop them from watching what you do...
I think the only thing the OpenSSL bug shows is how flimsy the underlying framework of the internet is. Most of the shit we all use, trust and take for granted was coded in someone's basement over the weekend a long time ago. All it takes is one clever guys to take a good look at the code to exploit it, and it's probably fair to say he'll be the only one to review the code ever...
So it's super-efficient and all... if you intend to move no farther than 10 ft forward.
For greater distances, you could, say, keep the balloon constantly inflated with some kind of pump. And then, to save unnecessary weight and complication, you could do away with the balloon and let the pump shoot out the back of the vehicle directly.

in discussions about Adblock defeat sites: Anti Adblock killer. Works dandy for me.

The rest of us keep being treated routinely like criminals without the media getting interested, because we aren't the mayor of Stockton.
Why should this guy get special treatment (by the TSA or by the press) just because he's a minor elected politico?
It says the guy loves Google. Who the hell loves Google eh?
Fake...
Buzzword.
The only remotely affordable passenger vehicle with a diesel motor, and bam. What a drag.
If the affected cars on the road are recalled and reprogrammed to improve emissions all of the time, it'll feel like quite a drag indeed.
You must be confused: the Nazis would never stoop so low as to lie about fuel economy...
Dark web == deep web == buzzwords.
Oh please...

Just use Detroit: it's full of real roads and building, full of perils, and many parts of the city are virtually devoid of people.
Steve Wozniak as an engineer, and as a person in general, is much more of an inspiration to me.
I'm pretty sure stone flakes are a hallmark of human-like intelligence. Other animals fashion tools, yes, but to my knowledge, not cutting tools.
Before IS and their Al-Shabaab buddies come and blow those non-muslim relics to smithereens...

It pays better to exploit the bugs...

I shall call my invention a hydrojet. Genius!
No, it's time to apply the law.
