That's not particularly useful since all of the modern trackers inject random fake IP addresses as seeds. They are going to at least try to connect before sending a warning and any good blocklist will stop that.
"The E3 component is very different from the other two major components of nuclear EMP. The E3 component of the pulse is a very slow pulse, lasting tens to hundreds of seconds, that is caused by the nuclear detonation heaving the Earth's magnetic field out of the way, followed by the restoration of the magnetic field to its natural place. The E3 component has similarities to a geomagnetic storm caused by a very severe solar flare. Like a geomagnetic storm, E3 can produce geomagnetically induced currents in long electrical conductors, which can then damage components such as power line transformers. Because of the similarity between solar-induced geomagnetic storms and nuclear E3, it has become common to refer to solar-induced geomagnetic storms as "solar EMP."At ground level, however, "solar EMP" is not known to produce an E1 or E2 component."
E1 being the type of pulse that knocks out small electronics.
The difference is that this sort of thing has happened before, and not that long ago (1859).
"Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases even shocking telegraph operators. Telegraph pylons threw sparks and telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire."
The world was much less wired in 1859 than it is today. At a minimum, the power grid would be fried for months. I certainly wouldn't want to live somewhere like the Southwest part of the US, where if the power is gone you can't get water and the gas pumps stop working, so you can't go somewhere else.
While the power grid would be knocked out by a massive solar flare, your electric car would be just fine. Unless it happened to be plugged in when the power grid was fried...
It's different because you can also think of encryption like a secret language that only you can decipher. If you wrote down all of your incriminating information in this secret language, there is no way the government could compel you to translate it for them since doing so would incriminate you. Sure, we can make analogies all day, but when we come right down to it, an encrypted document is a lot more like a secret language than a safe.
>if you have something in a safe and a search warrant has included a safe to be searched, then you need to hand over the keys or face obstruction of justice.
Yes, but if you've written some notes in a super-secret code that only you can decipher, you cannot be compelled to do so. How is encryption any different?
As I posted higher up in the thread, I bought this one and it does a bang up job of converting hdmi output (at 1080i) into component video for my old projection television. It might very well be illegal, but it works great.
>That should silence you assholes posting like it's no big deal or something.
It is no big deal. At worst, someone might get in trouble for having unauthorized access to the router, but I'll bet it had never had its default password changed and anyone could have done it. Simply making offensive announcements is not a bias crime, nor would be putting up a sign in your front yard that said the same thing as this SSID, as the poster below mentioned. Free speech is a bitch sometimes.
I take all my days every year, and I've got 28 PTO days per year on top of the usual holidays. Yes, I work in the US for a major corporation, but not to take your vacation days is ripping yourself off.
How is it any less ideal than the amount of energy wasted on an individual level sorting, rinsing, and separating all of the different types of garbage?
We all have to give a big thanks to the previous and current presidents for completely giving up the moral high ground on things like domestic spying and secret prisons. Who knows what these Chinese apologists would point to without your help.

Sure, but how many times did she have a bad feeling about something and then nothing at all happened and she forgot about it?

No, it wouldn't. Read X0563511's post one down for an explanation of why.

A solar flare is not an EMP. It would only take out things that have long stretches of conductive material, like the power lines.
Solar flare != EMP

Labor costs are a very small part of the final cost to create an iPod/iPad.
Sure, but if you're looking at 20 years for mortgage fraud or a year or two for contempt, it's a fairly easy choice.

>It's always a slur. But sometimes it's a threat.
No, it really isn't. Telling someone you're going to lynch them is a threat. Calling them a 'nigger' is no such threat.
>Have you ever been credibly attacked by being called a slur on Jews?
Being attacked and being called a slur are two completely different things.

I was able to buy an hdmi to component converter on Amazon for $40 and it works like a charm!

True, it's not just a cable, but the whole idea of plugging the analog hole is a joke at this point.

Hate speech is legal.
Take more vacations to remote places where there is no connectivity. I take at least 2 weeks every year out in the woods where I cannot be contacted.

>Really? Come on; how lazy can you get?
It is likely far more efficient to do the sorting by machine than to have every single person spend time every day sorting it themselves.
>I spent my college years getting a useful degree and paying for it by working during the year and the summer
Yeah, you can't do that anymore. You'd have to have a full time minimum wage job to even come close to paying for college now.
>You have to declare bankrupcy & be able to show 'undue hardship'.
Nope, student loans aren't even dischargable in bankruptcy. You are stuck with them for life.

You mean besides the fact that it's mostly ridiculous?
