    And we totally dismiss that it might be warmer today...???

    Interesting...

    Maybe we should send out a probe that contains samples of numerous carbon eating bacteria that handle very high temperatures.

    See if any thrive on Venus. Come back in 500,000 years to a terraformed green planet.

    Maybe we started on the far edge of habitable zone millions of years ago. And have moved to the other edge. ;-)

    Maybe we're about to fall of the edge?

  5. Re:It's their information if you gave it to them on HR Departments Tell Equifax Your Entire Salary History · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure I have NEVER signed any form authorizing the release or sale of my pay information.

    That said, I think such practice is interesting, in that companies fight tooth and nail to have employees "not talk about their salaries". (Of course during mass lay offs, that usually comes out. Yes, the joy of finding out you are paid 10 grand less than those employees who were doing half the work you did.)

    That said, perhaps it'd be fun to do a credit check on your co-workers. And then suddenly post several flyers showing what every employee is making. I bet companies would so re-think this policy.

  6. Re:Not a problem for iOS. on Wireless Carriers Put On Notice About Providing Regular Android Security Updates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Really?

    Because my iPhone 3G didn't get the last few updates. And courtesy of Apple, it no longer streams Netflix. Because crApple is so incompetent, they can't even manage app versions.

    Case in point. I have iPhon4 and 3G. iPhone 4s are running iOS5 & 6. Which the new Netflix app requires. However, the 3G model is not able to update to iOS5. But iTunes only allows for one instance of an app. So you'll find that you're old phones are now updated to versions of applications they cannot run.

    Get off your high crApple horse. The platform has major suckage. Want to bet $250?

    Move a photo you take with your phone into another folder. (No, don't just create a reference. Actually MOVE IT!!!)

  9. CNTRL-F: "Miami" on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 1

    Note, I found no mention of this on CNN.com. MSNBC.com, Foxnews.com

    Looks like a media blackout is being enforced. (Can't imagine our sensationalist media that covers fires, car accidents, and rapes all over the globes in order to have sensationalist headlines would ignore this willingly.)

    Heck, there was a case where a computer glitch and Monday holiday resulted in a 2 day delayof food stamps and there was near riots. Imagine that on a national level.

    Might be part of the cause, military and police acting in conjunction is a no no unless Constitution or Congressional Act authorizes.

    National Guard is NOT a militia. A militia is defensive. The National Guard is used offensively in foreign nations. Thus CAN NOT be a militia of the people. Militias defend their homes, they don't attack the homes of others.
