They are not supposed to be the content police. Do you not see the obvious problem with this kind of logic? If they are liable for not blocking pirating users, then they are liable for not blocking pedophile users, and liable for not blocking ISIS users. All of a sudden, COX is now financially responsible for what each of its users does. This is a terrible precedent to set.
I have one of these sitting on my desk. It's only a few inches and cost me about $30. There is no way I'm registering this little toy with the FAA. They can go f**k themselves.
You are a fool. It's a matter of having a population that's self governing vs a population reliant on the state. In a highly gun controlled government, if I get mugged or attacked, I have to rely on the government to resolve the situation. In a well armed and trained population, a citizen (or myself) is more likely to step up and diffuse the situation.
I can tell you've never been the victim of an attack, because you'd know the police are all but useless. In my case they were even accusatory and refused to help unless I "cooperated" by admitting to things I hadn't done. Speaking with a family friend who was a police officer about the situation, she said flat out they would never catch the guy.
Not to state the very obvious, but every major gun attack in the US in the last few years took place in a "gun free" zone. Mass shooters don't want to meet any resistance.
I'm already in one of those fields and I'm all for it. Web development, app development etc all keeps getting off shored, but I've seen what they come back with. It's crap. I have the very marketable skill of coming in and fixing the crap code that companies pay bottom dollar for and breaks almost immediately. Eventually these companies will realize its not a cost saver, because they pay me bookoo bucks to redo what they already payed for.
Then you want a place in Florida, nothing special, and a place in Nevada - again nothing special. Plan on another $10,000,000
A five million dollar home in Florida or Colorado is going to be special. Nothing too special would be in the $250,000-$500,000 range and it would still be a pretty nice place.
At 300 GB a week you are a huge drain on the system. You are effectively cutting the band width for every other near by user. How is it bad that you are charged more for this excessive overuse?
Its really just semantics over the word. I wouldn't say you engineer processes. I'd say you develop processes, just as I develop code. Its just some touchy feely people who want the engineering title. Look at "food service engineer."
While in general the definition of engineering applies to programmers, as practitioners of mathematics and science, I would agree the more excepted definition of building physical things is more appropriate. As such, programmers are not really engineers. I always describe myself as software developer, not software engineer.
Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. Its pretty set science that genetically XX makes you a woman and XY makes you a man. You can have all sorts of confusion in your head about gender, but that's a psychological issue, not a physical issue.
"As researchers study this more, they've come to find that gender and our perception of it is very likely to be determined by the structure of the brain, much like sexual preference, and a large number of other things." No matter how hard you think it, cutting off your penis and shoving it up in side you does not alter your genome from XY to XX.
I see this a lot on here: "We can overcome this through legislation and a focus on privacy..."
Its just not True. This type of pervasive surveillance has little to do with what government we have, who is in power or where they money is at. It all comes down to progress. As we move forward and advance technology this becomes an inevitability. Even a societal move to neo-luddism won't help long term as with all luddite movements the people eventually die and their kids, born in the technology, are less scared of it.
Yes, we can push back, regulate, ban certain technologies, but its all an uphill battle. The advances in technology far outpace our ability to protect privacy.
As a (former) student, I never had a college level math class that didn't require the text book. Even more notably, it almost always had to be the new one, because they rearrange and change the problems assigned as homework.
This is not subject to the ad hominem fallacy. I'm attacking the validity of facts on websites like wordpress where not only can facts be faked but also the person presenting the facts.
Additionally, regardless of the fathers political ambitions, if a white male did this exact same thing would he have been led off in handcuffs? I wouldn't think so, so there is a point to be made.
The fact remains that a kid with a clock in a briefcase was taken out of high school in handcuffs. Its hard to argue the school or police were in the right any way you look at it.

All too funny coming from an Opportunist...

That means Han shot first... And last.... And all the shots in between...
Fewer guns and the rejection of gun culture is a good idea independent of mass shootings.
Why? You are suggestion your opinion as fact.

It's known as the backfire effect. Ultimately, people are just stupid.

Or a seismologist. There seems to be a growing anti-intellectual movement in Italy.
That would solve all our problems. Good thinking
Don't you mean Wii U? That's precisely why Wii Fit was made.
This sounds like a failed Network Engineer who really wanted to be a programmer...

effective alternatives
For this to even be a question, you first have to show mass surveillance as effective. Good luck with that.

Oh, are you so wrong. I use my penis as a third hand, effectively typing faster than any girl could.

Clown or Jester is the perfect job description for the modern politician. Look at the U.S. They are about to elect Trump.
