that was my though i often have ebooks on a usb drive and i often loan usb drives to classmate when they forget theirs and need to move a file between their laptop and the the school workstations, what if one of them were to see my ebook and copy it.
Maybe they should set up terminals where you can go buy everything online. That way I won't even have to drive home after seeing the products on display at Best Buy.
if they do that though and you will end up buying it via amazon and newegg in there own store.
Perhaps your consciousness could be transferred into an electronic brain the same way it was transferred from your brain several years ago to your current brain: cell by cell.
FYI, brains don't progressively replace themselves like some organs do. You have almost all the neurons you'll ever have when you're born. There was a story here a few days ago about the discovery of a small region of the hippocampus that does generate new cells, unlike most of the rest of the brain.
Your post also brings up another interesting thought, a question raised by ancient philosophers. Suppose Jason comes home on the Argo and props it up on blocks to keep for a souvenir. As the years go by, whenever a plank rots he replaces it with a new one. Does it stop being the Argo at some point?
and if not and he then later reassembles all of the old rotten beams which is the real argo?
Do anyone really care, or whether my wife or I care if the NSA, CIA, FBI, gestapo or KGB or anybody else of that ilk finds out that my wife and I will come over to my daughter's house to babysit the grandkids on Saturday? Maybe everybody should start randomly sprinkling words or phrases like:
epidemic, Viral Hemorrhagic Fever, vaccine, E. Coli, Infrastructure Security, Airport, CIKR (Critical Infrastructure & Key Resources), AMTRAK, collapse, transportation security, Grid, Power, Smart body scanner, electric, failure outage, black out, brown out, Port, Dock, Bridge , cancelled etc.
randomly throughout their mundane emails,/. posts, Facebook updates and tweets to keep the government servers and storage spaces updated and those mostly bored to tears "analysts" in these agencies awake.
These words by the way are all taken from the EFF website as a result of a lawsuit against the NSA. They are/were officially on the list that will now get me flagged as a terrorist.
What you're advocating, quite plainly, is that if you break into my house and steal something, that I can then break into your house to take something from you. The law is quite clear on this. As long as hacking into and stealing resources is illegal, you doing the same is just as illegal. Get a Rottweiler and a home alarm and sign up for personalized security patrols. In essence that is what you can do with regards to your electronic resources.
If someone breaks into my house I can shoot them thanks to castle laws, there is no digital equivalent other than hacking them back.
But the NSA says it's just collecting the metadata on communications, not the actual communications. So while encrypting the message in your email may prevent them from (easily) reading your email, they still see that you sent or received an email and who it was coming or going to.
enter torbirdy.
torbirdy is a addon for Thunderbird email client routing all you email through tor. You can also use a tor hidden email service let them try and unravel who is communicating with who then. you can also use tor with pidgen chat client, and pgp encryption all they will get is random noise lost in the tor network. the problem is trying to get the muggles to bother to use/learn these.
as it stands today we have all of the technology needed to make prism virtually useless for anything, the problem is the general populous overwhelming apathy and lack of interest as long as they can play stupid facebook games. As long as most the average joe doesn't care enough to act we all are vulnerable we have to communicate at the lowest common denominator. i would love to move all of my communication to double public key encrypted obfuscated triple proxied tor hidden service hosted secure goodness, but grandma can barely handle facebook. so we are all stuck with cc'ing everything to nsa/cia/fbi/homeland.
If its so necessary for terrorism, how did the Boston bombing happen then?
A cynical answer (who knows if it's accurate?) might be that the NSA set it up themselves in the hope of getting an increased budget.
There is enough information out there to know it is absolute rubbish.
Really? We were told by Russia to watch the bomber that he was dangerous and millitant, hell fricking Saudi Arabia warned us about him and the US government ignored them both.
unless you like to read a wide variety of things i have in my desktop email/rss reader over 70 feed many of those are from aggregators/webspiders that scower the web looking for more content on a specific subject giving me a feed, rss for people who enjoy reading or need to stay up to date on things is great.
idea. you and whatever other person you wish to share account with start a limmited liability company that signs up for account as "employees" of said company you get access to their netflix/hulu/hbo go account. if sued the limited libabillity company goes under and nothing happens to you. use the corporate contorted legal system to your own advantage
HP has become the place where many tech eventually gets put to sleep forever. I wonder which one will be next?
hpux probably, as they only support itanium and itanium sales arn't that great. they should of ported their OS's to x86_64 but have stuck with itanium as they are half owner of the architecture despite the fact no one wants it oh and it pisses oracle of is another reason they stick with it. Put i predict they will soon end up just another x86 sever and prinet maker like their old ceo wanted due to lack of momnetum.
the point is that in post-pc you buy the mobile devices more often and they bring in more profit and value
the PC will be there but its something you only buy once in a while because you use your mobile device more
the PC will be there but its something you only buy once in a while because you rarely drop you pc on the concrete you will comparatively often drop your mobile device shattering the screen (and/or back depending on which generation) into a million pieces.
And Cook's successor will give us the Mac Pro SpHERE.
Yes, but it will float on a magnetic cushion.
which will unfortunately wipe the hard-disk reducing its usefulness significantly but the hipsters won't notice because it pretty.
on a different but related note what is with the general public conflating mac use with tech savvy? most mac users i know use it because they are to confused by windows so need a easier system. I know that not all are that way but that has just been my personal experience.
C++ does not require a super computer and will usually have perform better than you html game. in fact the delvik java vm is written in c++ and runs most of the smart phones on the market.
oh and c++ is portable you just have to use libraries that are available on multiple architectures and os's. just cross compile.
I keep think about going to the RC Hobby shop for supplies to build an RC Mower I could sit on the deck under the umbrella with a cold drink while mowing. I'm not lazy my back just can't handle it anymore that happens when you get old.
i wonder if you could just use the brains from one of those robotic vaccum cleaners and wire it up to more powerful servos/motors to control the mower that way little or no human interaction is required assuming you mulch the grass rather than bag it.

they are still usefull if you need to pick up a monitor cable or power cord and can't wait for next day delivery.

until someone out side needs to interact with them then they would be a bit peved to find out the a 500 years behind the curve.

sounds like a good sig
closer would be shooting at the sniper across the road after he started shooting at me which is again justified as self defense.
You never have the option to take the law into your own hands.
never heard of a citizens arrest? castle doctrine? stand your ground laws?
theoretically at least we are the government - by the people for the people.

just because microsoft wont support it does not mean the antivirus vendors won't i can see them making lots of money off of xp support.
SecureBoot is so the NSA can have hardware-level acess to computers.
Why else do you think we won't let you sign your own certs?
i was thinking money, but yours is a legitimate reason too

perhapses there weren't enough sales because it was on itanium.

probably some flavor of linux (redhat , oracle, suse, ubuntu...) possibly Solaris, AIX, Free/Open/Net BSD, HPUX, worst case Windows Server 2012.

There is no "correct" lanaguage to program anything in.
no but their in most assuredly are wrong ones. if you dont agree then go write everything in the Brainfuck programing language
