  1. Re:Don't trust the gov to use good technical solut on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Powell seems quite upset about the recent actions of his GOP. "I want to continue to be a Republican because it annoys them," Powell said, prompting laughter from the audience.

    "In Virginia, you don't have to declare a party ... but I'm still a Republican because I believe in a strong defense, because I believe in the entrepreneurial spirit that is so typical of the Republican Party in the past. But I'm having difficulty with the party now," he said.

    He actually said he's only a Republican because it annoys them. So you are correct, even if you posted as an AC lol.

    Nah, Rick only uses illegal Mexican labor; he'd never allow an American to do work like that.

  5. Re:Why is this about security? on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Because if it was compromised, this could have actually lead to the Benghazi attack. There probability of emails talking about The Annex is quite high; since that falls under the domain of SoS.

  6. Re:A "mistake" worth firing . . . on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 2

    Palin was never Secretary of State, and never had potentially classified emails. So, that comparison fails. Powell might be more damning, yet there was no situation that could have stemmed from compromised communications that we know of. There's a decent chance information about The Annex in Benghazi was discovered via this compromised server, and even Hillary herself might not know about it.

  7. My tin foil hat tells me on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Her open server was compromised, and this is how the forces in Libya knew of the existence of the Annex. Too bad the GOP has destroyed any recourse over this with their recent comments; they where far closer to the truth than they ever knew.

    I've wondered about the dentures / false teeth. You've now got a pretty decent sized chunk of plastic you carry around in your mouth almost at all awake times, but what would you even want to embed in it? I could use to have a bright LED I could turn on, a mouth flashlight LOL. What else though?

  10. No mention of side effects on Hi-Tech Body Implants and the Biohacker Movement (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I've read a few articles talking about the side effects of the finger magnets. Most people can't leave them in, as the "sensations" never stop. People seem to have problems sleeping since there is almost always some detectable fields nearby, especially the types that get these implants have all sorts of devices so your fingers might "tingle" all night. I would assume that eventually your brain would adjust, just like your not constantly aware of the clothing touching your skin...but that might take months.

    I suppose you might design some kind of shielding glove so you can turn it off and on in a way. Perhaps if you had a small enough magnet implanted? Oh, also not noted, is that since this is NOT a "surgical procedure" you legally get no anesthetic, just like when you get a piercing. But since you can buy pure powdered benzocaine off Amazon...

    The magnetic fingertip idea is neat, and it can't really be seen either. RFID chips sound too complex and can be broken after implant. That "Circadia" implant in the pic looks nasty. Other than the magnets and the RFID chips, there doesn't seem to be much to this "grinder" movement yet.

  11. K-9 units like the ones you describe are exactly what got the feds called in under Kennedy. There is a clear and documented evidentury established by the US DoJ over the years; usually specifically with German Sheppards being used against black civil rights demonstrations.

  12. Re: Materialistic monism is an outdated notion on Will You Ever Be Able To Upload Your Brain? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    the only problem is the brain itself is constantly modified by hormonal reactions that come from various parts of the body. Without those, life might be very strange. For example, people who have their thyroid removed need hormones to "stay normal". If you had an electronic human brain, you might also need to electronically fill in the inputs that are on the subconscious level too. Many emotions and feelings stem from chemical hormonal interactions inside the brain; how to code that level too?

  13. True quantum copy on Will You Ever Be Able To Upload Your Brain? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    A real solution would be some tech that copies your brain at a quantum level, basically destroying it as it copies due to collapsing wave functions. Therefor, a true copy can never have duplicates.

    If you were married, which copy is still married? Which one does the husband/wife continue to share their life with?

    That's obvious, the copy is left with the wife. That's the whole point of the copy, someone to maintain the married life...I remember some Outer Limits or Twilight Zone like this, the guy copies himself so he can do other stuff; I think in the end somehow the copy ended up with the family and the original was an outcast.

    Most people in the US have no clue what those labels mean. All they know is "I'm good and all else is bad". A true represenative system with real multiple parties would make their head explode. We've been programmed to see only two sides to everything. There is only black or white, right or wrong, freedom or slavery. We use words like "libtard" and "republicthug", our system is set up so only two parties can really exist over multiple election cycles. The two parties just swap positions in attempts to get to 51%. The actual controllers behind the curtain are the same families since at least the winners emerged from the American industrial revolution.

    Gravity is provable, there is a huge list of experiments and data that have done this. I think your confusing the idea that real science must be provable and have the ability to be false. Just because we haven't pinned down gravity's exact mechanism doesn't mean it's voodoo. We'll need a more powerful collider most likely to get further down than the Higgs.

    No, the majority of Americans think Progressivism is some type of car insurance company, and socialism is Hitler, Stalin, and Satan all rolled up into one. They want their government "run like a business" but then also scream when that "company" has "layoffs". A corporation has zero ethics and zero empathy, and only is concerned with quarterly dividends...I don't understand why anyone would want their government run like that.

  21. My Skinit Cargo case keeps this from happening. You actually have to purposely press the power button, in the years I've used that type of case I've never accidentally dialed anyone. And until two months ago when I dropped the phone face down onto a gravel covered concrete parking lot, the phone looked practically new. I'm sure other cases provide similar protection.

  22. I agree, and I find it especially ironic and hilarious when those same people complain because they keep breaking their phones screens.

    It's a "commodity", at least per the IRS and CFTC. Not that it matters for this instance...CNBC talks about the recent rule changes. I'm wondering if his attack could be considered something serious now, at least legally. If it can be proven he caused real monetary damages...

    Of course he's Russian, so it doesn't really matter. At least it doesn't matter until he manages to screw up some buddy's of Putin, and then "legal repercussions" will be the least of his worries.

    that's insane. I would be forced to move, because every few weeks I have to do weekend coverage from home and require a VPN back into HP's network. Was that in your rental contract, like "no VPNs"? Did the landlord come by and cut up all the wires too? I'm not joking, that's what my current apartment complex did several years ago...they decided to be an "AT&T Community" and somehow every cable in the complex got cut inside the various enclosures.
