The golden dawn petitioned for the arrest of a dead monk, so this guy satirised the monk and got arrested for that?
thank you. i was really stumped by how to parse that sentence. Your interpretation is correct. the only question is how this heinous crime got pinned on this guy. Golden Dawn must know people in the police dept and planted evidence.
Setting aside the security issues of malware i.e stealing your shizz. Let's make a pain scale of hours per year you need to futz with your your computer. Futzing is tasks that are unproductive and you would otherwise not do. Reinstall from viruses, install patches, rebuild whatever, repair whatever. Windows would be a 5, Linux would be 10, and macs would be 1.
yeah but linux isn't a end user desktop environment. what software do you have that needs windows? If you have linux software then this can run on mac. usually you have to buy new hardware anyway eventually.
I don't understand why people even bother to reinstall. if your computer got burned to the ground anyway then just get a mac. it's the perfect time to switch. no antivirus, no virus, no problems, no wasted time on computer maintenance chores. and things like SSH are native. trust me!
my wife had a problem where here macbook (the old white plastic ones) the palm rest cracked and they replaced it free, 3 years old. I had a problem with my 2009 macbook pro where the feet came off, they replaced it free. apple will take care of you. a lot of the rage here is an instinctive reaction from getting screwed over by so many companies. give apple a try.
also, the summary is a lie and FUD. Nowhere in the linked article does it use the word "pervasive". Here's the first sentence: "Many early and late–2011 MacBook Pro owners with discrete graphics cards seem to be experiencing GPU failures and system crashes on their machines." In this context, "many" can still mean 0.00001%.
the point was about the "stand your ground" law and how it results in murders like the guy in the movie theater recently.
Funny how you modified someone else's statement and then claimed that it didn't apply to aviation because everyone goes through xray machines, if your point was solely that someone who YOU call crazy shot someone else for TEXTING (not talking) in a theater. Mentioning one situation and then saying why it wouldn't apply to this one is not a very good way of emphasizing the first thing. You can understand why I might ignore your unfounded wrong accusations while simply pointing out the more incorrect statement that was yours.
the FAA/FCC statement was factually correct. The stand your ground thing was a gentle reminder to the more rabid posters on this story that really bad things can happen when somebody hates somebody else who interrupts their flight/movie/whatever.
it's ok to make two different points on different topics, both of which are good.
Separately, I appreciate the way you engage with my posts, even across stories. I'm glad you find me regularly insightful (as do many people who mod me up often).
I disagree. it's more like an email. a postcard you have no expectation of privacy. you can read it, your roommate can read it, the other guy's roommate can read it, etc. an email you can expect that nobody will read it except you, the recipient, and the ISPs who are carrying it. also like a phone call, now that you mention it.
Also, metadata is used to route a message. you don't use the SMS content to route the message.
the point was about the "stand your ground" law and how it results in murders like the guy in the movie theater recently. the point was not a comment about airport screening technologies.
why dont they go back to shooting range or beheading? honestly, a shot in the head. it's been shown that a bullet tears through the brain far faster than any signal of pain from the neurons. I know about these things.
why would cell phone conversations be more annoying that in-person conversations? cell phones never bothered me. obv cell phones shouldn't be used in theaters, but nobody should be talking at all in theaters.
The FCC's job here is to create rules to promote safety. If it's an annoyance issue then the airlines should be the ones making rules about it.
disagree. it's the FCC's job to regulate the airwaves, a scarce public resource. it's FAA's job to regulate aircraft safety, as well as annoyances etc. it's also the airlines job to make money, and hopefully they would make more money with a "no phone talking" plane. Although they used to have smoking planes...
isn't that the point of this whole discussion, to make things more rigorous so there aren't workarounds? and besides, if they make a system to handle the current workload, how will that scale in 6mo when the workload doubles, then 6mo when the workload doubles again. or in 2 years when it is 16 fold.
true about Gitmo not closing, but some people have gotten out and I'm sure their familys are happy. for Iraquistan, the troop tour of duty is only two years, so there's always troops coming home and it makes people happy. so while people are happy, the wars are still warring.
I don't understand this comment. is it sarcastic? if so, then #FAIL because I imagine the Gitmo families and troop families were very happy when their loved ones came home. Is it sincere? then you're saying it actually does make you happy that O promised they wouldn't look at your data. #WIERD.
I think we can count on bandwidth being the bottleneck if they eliminate some of the shortcuts / workarounds. Human endeavors grow linearly. It takes twice as much manpower to process twice as many NSLs. Computer stuff can grow exponentially or geometrically. so if you make the review process more rigorous then the growth in computer stuff will be constrained by human linear growth limits.
what annoys me about this is obama is focusing on the phone data collection stuff. but what about PRISM, and the L3 infrastructure stuff, the new text message stuff (which is notable because it's content, not metadata), and all that jazz. he says the NSA's stuff is legal and he'll make a few adjustments, but he's ignoring all the ILLEGAL things they do. BTDubs the full text of the speech is at NYTimes.

you could buy the feet alone from apple support for $25. link
a bunch on amazon prime for under $10. link

But evidence that REAL scientists did not all buy into the cultish AGM doomsday thinking could not be allowed to exist.
what is AGM?

correct on all points. I'm very lonely and need attention.
I disagree. it's more like an email. a postcard you have no expectation of privacy. you can read it, your roommate can read it, the other guy's roommate can read it, etc. an email you can expect that nobody will read it except you, the recipient, and the ISPs who are carrying it. also like a phone call, now that you mention it.

I have an anonymous stalker and a cyberbully. at least log in to your account, and stop hiding behind AC!

I think you're confusing me with somebody else.
it sounds like he has skills perfectly suited to this war. what would he do if peace broke out? btdubs glad he's ok so far and hope he remains so.
thank you for purposely missing the point.
Hmmm... Talk in a movie theater, get shot by crazy people who are "standing their ground".
there, fixed that for you. at least on an airplane everybody's gone through an xray machine.
" (data usage okay, but no cell usage)."

they can choose to reinlist or not. it's a volunteer army. except for the commissioned officers obv, but they chose that as their career.
