This might be okay if there were some sort of story campaign like the Wing Commander Privateer games
Maybe there is, but nobody has found the one guy in the basement of the one building on that one planet with an ! over his head to start the quest chain.
Personally, I'll just sit here and hope that Star Citizen will finish trickling out and I'll be able to recapture the fun I got from playing Freelancer with friends, which had recaptured the fun I had playing WC Privateer by myself.
if you can get this program onto the air-gapped machine in the first place, haven't you already compromised it?
Yes, but now your compromise is stuck on a computer with no way off. You drop a handful of flash drives around the target's parking lot, someone plugs it in and gets the internal network pwned... then what? Put the data back on the flash drive and hope they put it back in the parking lot? But say you're a TLA and can track/activate cellphones on demand. Sure, people aren't supposed to carry their cellphone into the secure area, but they figure if they keep it in their pocket and don't whip it out and start taking pictures, they'll be fine. They might even turn it "off" so it's OK, right? Drop some flash drives there, and turn on the guy's cellphone and listen for the k-tka-tk-tk sound. Could be a failing drive, could be the secret weapon plans.
However, it's ILLEGAL to compete by bringing faster service to Queens. The franchise board assigns each neighborhood to a single provider.
However, it's ILLEGAL for franchise contracts to establish geographical monopolies, since the Telecommunication Act of 1996.
What the real problem is, is that installing wires takes millions of dollars, and modern capitalists can't invest that much capital without an ROI measured in quarters or their stock takes a dive. Thus we have Google (who has billions of dollars in spare change lying around) doing installs, and even then they're only doing it where they can get concessions on right-of-ways to keep the cost down.
Actually, to be relevant, the explosives have been there for years. People discovered the explosives and called Comcast out on it. Comcast responded by charging extra to disable the explosives (they're still there, but they're disarmed. Honest!)
There is no option for "cheaper" Comcast. You get to pay what you're currently paying to live with the explosives, or you get to pay more and live with the hope that the explosives really are disarmed.
Which study was this? I've seen study after study on how hard it is for guys of various appearances to get a response from a non-bot on a dating site (usually performed by taking fake photos and writing up several profiles with different photos for each and comparing responses) but I haven't seen that experiment done with women (or maybe all the bots out there are run by researchers?) Genuinely curious.
I don't see why she can't take all the money and claim the same defense she used here.
She can't. She's still guilty of theft, so this defense doesn't work on theft. It only works on being accused of using a computer without authorization when you steal lottery tickets you're authorized to print.
At this point, we're getting back to where we were hundreds of years ago when all marriage was of convenience and marriage for love was a thing for poems and stageplays.
My bad, I shouldn't have assumed when they listed regular pornography in a list of things that are illegal and should be banned, it was because they wanted to ban regular pornography too. Maybe we should confront pedophiles, terrorists and PR people?
Not only that, in windows 10 unless you pick an ugly-as-fuck high contrast theme, the default themes have almost* no difference between the focused window and other windows, making it infuriating to use on a two-headed PC since I have no way of knowing where the focus is.
*: I noticed that the focused window's title text is slightly less gray, that's it.
If a woman is already turned off just by asking them what they'd like me to do or not do after I tie them to the bed, then they're way too vanilla for me.
The city should require the cable monopolies to provide service to everyone they can in their monopoly areas
It's the city blocking it (or at least was, I see all sorts of articles about the mayor THINKING about changing Rule 2-2009, but I haven't seen a single one about it actually being changed).
In order to install new telecom cabinets, 60% of the OWNERS (not the person renting the house, whatever guy in Florida or China or wherever who owns it) of the buildings within 100 feet of the cabinet has to approve the construction, and nonresponders are considered "No" votes.
My mother spent most of my childhood while I was learning metric ranting against the metric system. She was absolutely convinced it was a plot to rip her off: that a gallon of milk would be rounded down to 3 liters and still cost as much, that a 5 pound bag of sugar would be rounded down to 2kg and cost as much, and so on.
The "shrink ray" effect of inflation proved that switching to metric was not necessary to rip everyone off, but I suspect that at the time, enough housewives felt the same as her that attempts to switch America to the metric system went nowhere.
Yahoo says this is impossible, then Yahoo does what they claimed was impossible. Thus, there are two options:
1. Yahoo lied the first time 2. Yahoo lied the second time
I'd appeal too. Especially if I was innocent and Yahoo faked emails to appease some government entity who was sure I must have something incriminating.
The problem is that we have accepted, in a large number of cases, ignoring laws we don't like, and people think that is how it is supposed to work for all laws.
That pretty much sums it up. Everyone thinks someone died and made them supreme arbiter of which laws and regulations ought to be followed, and they all get quite unhappy when someone else's opinion conflicts with theirs.

Look forward to the letters from the law office of Dewey, Cheatem and HAL.

Yes. Now imagine that they cut those 2 minutes out of the movie, so you don't even get to see those.
You mean decade-old titles and ancient marketing.
Don't forget multiple FBI notices to accuse you of being a bad person for buying the DVD.
And now you can pay MORE to have them claim they're not watching what you do online! Joy!

OK gramps, we'll get off your lawn. Enjoy your drug resistant gonorrhea and syphilis you free lovin' old coot.
You seem to be lost, China and their one child per family policy is over yonder. My father's older brother got the property when his parents died.

Then why don't you talk to this "Enough is Enough" group and tell them to take the non-child pornography off the list of things they want to ban?
Thanks! I knew if I posted my issue someone would solve it :)
Having this off was the default upgrading from 7 to 10. Not a good choice.

Won't Russia rid me of this meddling Democrat?
We could call it the "Human Instrumentality Project".
Stop running away and upgrade to Windows 10, Shinji.

Seattle is weird.
