But it's not a secret. You know when you buy one of these your voice is going to be transmitted over the internets for analysis. You would expect them to take some obvious steps to secure the potentially private information from third parties but there is nothing "secret" about the collection and transmission of the user's voice. The only potential violation of privacy here would be the ability for a third party to intercept the unencrypted data on someone.
Well, they warn weathermen in NK they could be executed for giving the wrong forecasts! Depending on where you are in the world, it might be a possibility...
Regardless, the entire logical premise of this "article" is STUPID!
HOW DOES SENDING EMAIL OVER ENCRYPTED CHANNELS "PREVENT" EMAIL ADDRESS TYPOS? I mean seriously, WTF? What kind of logic breakdown leads from "so and so mis-typed the email address" to "this would not have happened over encrypted channels"? Near as I can tell, yes, it would have had exactly the same effect - it just would have come in on port 995 instead of 110. I just don't get the "leap" in logic that leads from a to b in this case.
That said, yes this sounds like something that should have been sent via snail mail, but by the same twist of logic, how would that prevent them from mistyping the postal address and sending it to the wrong person in the exact same way?
Once they fill their iDevice with all their U2 and other IToons garbage, they fill up the free space so that there is no longer room for the bloated "temporary" upgrade package files to download. Then, they are stuck unless they remove some of their media (and THAT ain't gonna happen)...
I have similar shit happen with my old Android phone, running CM7 as that is all that's available for it, and large package updates like WasteOfSpaceBook run out of memory. Then I get to go all techy with it and delete caches and program data until there's enough free space left to download the updates, one of my favorite activities, truly a joy untold, not helped by the fact that the idiots keep updating the apps weekly for some stupid reason(s). The main problem with Android is it's not media files eating up all the space, since they sit in a different memory area. It's a pre-reserved "system" memory area that is very small to start with and the newer apps push the limit of that "free" space to the edge. Feh.
They have found a way to game the system, and then found others who will finance and follow their criminal model. Eventually with time and money the foam rises to the top of the septic tank...
It's now the non-pay camera system works. They take every car's picture, usually driver and license plates, then discard the snaps after you successfully pay and clear the booth. That way if you decide to stop and feign paying or take off, they already have your picture rather than trying to snap a quick shot as you bolt out of the gate...
No, people started doing that long before those days. Since the early 1980's, I would always avoid checked baggage so it would make the airport arrival much less of a hassle, not having to go to baggage claim and wait for the suitcase-go-round. Also, then I could go out the "Departures" level which was completely un-crowded when all the traffic was at the "Arrivals" area level, and jump into my prearranged ride. Unless I had a very large suitcase, for a trip of over a week, I would never check luggage. Plus, it avoided the "lost luggage" horror completely that way.
Of course, eventually that led to jerk-offs trying to bring their entire baggage as carry-on, even if they had 3-4 bags per person. This led to over-stuffed bins and extended boarding and leaving sessions, so after it got to a certain obnoxious level, the airlines started first limiting the size and number of carry-ons, then eventually charging for them.
You're talking to one now. A long time ago, back in the 1980's, I went to San Mateo, and my luggage went to San Jose. That sucked - it took the airline about 3 days to track down, find my suitcase, and deliver it to my hotel. Luckily, I was staying 2 weeks, and I had (very little) extra cash to go buy a pair of underwear and socks, a toothbrush and a coat (it was a bit cold in the evenings at the time). I used to travel frequently back then for work, and this was the only time in hundreds of flights they ever got it wrong, but holy crap, what an inconvenience!
I'm guessing that due to economies of scale, the more popular and longer routes are run more, so since there's more of them and more competition, they drive the prices down on them. The shorter in-between flights aren't as popular so they are more "Specialized" and cost more?
Awww, you're so cute when you're trying to act all grown up like that.
I'll name one thing wrong - you posted at all. People like you do nothing but exacerbate problems. You take a joke and turn it into seething political flamebait, spewing the Fox News Greatest Hits soundbytes as you go. Do you think YOU added anything but bile and hate to the conversation? It was about astronomy, in case you forgot and were distracted by your own stupid, unnecessary commentary.
Spare us next time you get the urge to post, and just fuck off, AC troll.
OK, that makes more sense - thank you. Then again, what did I expect from an article with "lakes of water that is methane"? I am a fan of exoplanetary research, so I am familiar with most of what you said. However, the "full of oil" came out of left field and threw me momentarily...
And what happens to you when you sell fake dope to the mafia? You get taken out, kind of like, you know, what happened to them? *harumpf* *cough*... Maybe Kim Jong Un got pissed he wasted an hour downloading a file full of anti-piracy ads!
The whole lame-brained idea of dilution of the "stolen" or "illegal" product, so "buyers" won't know if they are getting the "genuine illegal" product or not is not going to stop anyone, and usually people with half a brain will know approximate file sizes, so they won't waste their time trying to download a 3 GB MP3 file... Duh...
They were used on belt-driven tables, too. I have a Thorens that is belt-drive and it has a strobe.
Actually the grid frequency is very stable, it has to be, so that generators going on and off-line don't fight for dominance against the "inertia" of the grid (a Bad Thing). Any variation in the grid frequency would cause a change in the strobe speed, not the turntable speed, but would give (very slightly) incorrect readings due to that. However, the grid varies only +/- 0.1 Hz on the average, so that tiny difference would not be noticeable by most people. With a scope or a frequency counter, maybe...
Usually, not. The cheap idler-wheel and C-Frame motor (think BSR) turntables had AC synchronous motors, and could not have their speed adjusted short of changing the AC electrical grid frequency, and that ain't gonna happen. Those were fixed speed, but had different "gearing" ratios to provide multiple speeds.

Yeah, fuck the Super Bowl, wake me when the Hyper Bowl is on!
Yep, your Mom keeps stroking it while she sucks my cock and says the same thing...

Is that you, Mike?
Still, we try.
Is that few enough for ya? ;)
Mike, is that you?

Me neither.
"Steaming" would be more appropriate for this turd...

These are not the assholes you are looking for...
So they weren't as malicious as possible, that gives them a pass somehow?

There, FTFY.

Also what makes them think there's oil there? Would that not have required having life there that died and rotted away and got buried for centuries??
The Fox News runs deep within this disciple. Let the hate flow, flow, let it consume you so your descent into the dark side is complete...

Yes, I positioned it highly so it would be seen. However, you don't get Karma from humor., so get some Karma of your own!
Butthurt? ITHINKSO. Until your moronic karma-jealous comment hit, mine was pretty much being ignored... So, thanks!
