Wolphram Alpha had no idea about the color of Washington's favorite white horse (it looked up the distance between some town named George, WA and White Horse,NJ), but if you put it into google, you discover that Washington had no white horses, the closest being a gray named Blueskin.

Is what they're telling us, but if you combine the watch-every-packet-in-the-internet features of PRISM with a I-have-the-webservers-logs server attack, you'd think they'd just track all the traffic through all the hops with or without javascript and cookies. The server logs would tell you what the user requested, and the metadata they collect would link the packets through the internet to wherever they're going.
Qualcomm's senior vice president Anand Chandrasekher was on hand for the unveiling of their new 8 core processor. Calling it a masterpiece of engineering, Chandrasekher compared it to a Ferrari, and called single core processors dumb. "Why drive around on a lawnmower when you could ride an 8 cylinder Ferrari? That's dumb." When asked if they would be continuing to sell single core processors, he replied "We don't do dumb things."
The main page of the site picks a random fallacy and explains what that fallacy is. Since you can link specifically to a single fallacy, I think the poster is implying you hit all of them with one fell "whoosh".
So the engineers didn't have health insurance before? Or they did, and the company realized that they could downsize and blame Obama for forcing them to provide what they were already voluntarily providing?
If you sell a cop a baggie of powdered sugar, it's still drug dealing even if they know its sugar, so I'm sure that the government will happily extraordinarily rendition you without bothering to check if you're telling the truth.
Oh, and "golf-playing megalomaniacs like me" hire people and CARE about their well being
Then you're not a golf playing megalomaniac, are you?
You also don't "have it all". You may have decided that you have enough, and possibly even deluded yourself into thinking that enough is the same as all, but you don't have it all.
have been taken in by the mainstream media
Maybe that is the problem, people can't just keep up with the Joneses they have to keep up with everyone they see on TV too. Maybe if more people could decide to find some attainable level of wealth to declare to be "enough" they could appreciate the value of the work they put towards that end.
It reminds me of Brave New World where the alphas and betas are reminded that they should be thankful that the deltas and epsilons were there to do the hard work and to not taunt them in order to preserve the social order, and reminding the deltas that they should be thankful for the alphas and betas to do all the hard thinking, and that they should be glad their life is so easy. But no matter how hard a delta works they'll never become an alpha, and nobody encourages them to aspire to become one.
Really, it comes down to what they do with the patent once they have it. They could charge a penny for it as a token licensing fee. Or they could demand 50% of all the revenue of anyone using it which would make sure it never sees use in the "parts of the world with few medical resources" (except for those nations that routinely ignore patents).
Robotised vehicles offer ZERO benefit to the citizen who have nothing better to do than grip the wheel white knuckled while trying to remain alert for threats coming from all 360 degrees for 30 minutes a day+.
FTFY. Me? I'd benefit from spending that time doing something productive, or at least fun. Or at least not depending on the grace of the other millions of people out there to ever so kindly not kill me.
(Why yes, I AM a bit testy today what with some fucking retard slamming on their brakes in the left lane then swerving in front of me in order to cross at least three lanes of people trying to go home to get into an exit that was already three lanes wide, but since this genius failed "waiting in line" in kindergarten, he felt entitled to hold up all the traffic while he cut in front of everyone at the last 200 feet or so on a 6 lane wide interstate.)
It seems like the obvious thing to do would be to scale the signal to visible light range then show us the result, but I'm guessing that's not artistique enough for the artist.
Though now I'm kind of curious as to what wifi would look like when it's scaled to visible light range.
My bad, I misunderstood the 9000 part, but the issue remains: that's not 9000 people, that's 9000 names, or else we wouldn't have so much trouble with the no fly list.
Slashdot Mirror
single, centralized hosting provider for TOR websites
Or, more specifically, hosting provider for tormail, which started off this chain of events.
I'm beginning to think that the pedos getting swept up was just a cover story for killing tormail.
Don't worry, they've already got subcontractors in Hong Kong lined up for the job.
What's Arabic for ME TOO?
sent the EXACT same nearly useless message (which was written by a CA agency and approved by FEMA before being sent out)
Just as a note, that's the EXACT same information every other state provides in an amber alert: city, car and license plate.
Here in Texas, it's usually the parent on the losing side of the divorce grabbing the kids and running for Mexico.
You got lucky. Here in Texas, cops step out in front of moving vehicles as an excuse to shoot the driver in self defense.

False
I think he's referring to when Debian did exactly this to their openssl library.
It took two years for anyone to notice.

Not a person when the federal government feels like it.
That would be nm. NM is Nautical Mile.

And then you pass the cop car programmed to follow you to the scene of the fire.

The filthy shill
LOL.
Real life is like nethack. Once you have eaten your first pet, you can no longer be a vegetarian.
To put this in more concrete terms, you now have to eat three apples to get the same amount of iron as you would have gotten from a single 1940 apple
But our trees now make three times the apples, so we're all good.

What ever happened to micropayments?
It's been almost 20 years now and the banks STILL refuse to get out of the way.
If you pitched in 5 cents for every article with merit that you read, would that make a difference?
Sure, after the bank takes their 25 cent transaction fee. Plus 5%.
