as i understand network technology, i believe it is possible to set up networks of the peer to peer variety which have no need of the currently conventional internet connections. my computer talks to yrs which talks to another guy's, etc. data wd be spread out on the network the way it is in a torrent network. i'd very much like some feedback on this.
there is no way to affirm or refute the assertion, by definition. So we're supposed to believe a statement which can't be proved or disproved and which is made by known liars. duh?
aren't these the same people who claimed they were firing 90% of their sysadmins?
bluff, bluff, bluff.
you've got no clothes on, fellas, and people are talking about you.
it's bluster. the suits out front make enormous amounts of noise based on what is 99% chaotic fantasy about their goals and resources, so in 99% of cases, they end up in the same place: junk. for example, one of my littile hobbies is to check every few years on the IRS efforts at building a system. the IRS has worked for THIRTY years to get a system that fits what they imagine to be their needs, and what they have is still junk. Another example. I worked two years for the feds doing software at a scientific station run by the forest service. after i had been there a couple of months while my department "checked me out" having me do silly work, they got to trust me and confessed that for all five years of the project's existence, the ninnies had never been able to get the time stamps in their data files right and asked me to fix the problem. after looking at some of their code for about ten minutes, i found that the ninnies were using Perl and were coding time handlers from the little bit of Perl which they more or less understood. they had no idea that time functions were built into the language. and absolutely no idea that CPAN existed for what you can't do with the language builtins. the reason for this incompetence is lack of courage. people are so afraid of doing the wrong thing and having, i guess, the boogeyman come and eat them, that they can't focus on their work. cowardice and then bluster to cover up the cowardice. increasingly, these are the kind of technicians that the fed is stuck with. it's true folks: the emperor does not have stitch one on his butt.
Who wants to work for sociopaths? we shd do what the Jewish artisans did when the left the persecutions under the French kings and went to Holland. With their help, Holland soon became the dominant power in europe, tho' Hollands position lasted for only a half century. reason for the decline was they got into bed with the British uglies. At any rate, this latest antic at NSA points up what will emerge as the empire's biggest problem, i.e., more and more people working with its dp systems are waking up to what they are aiding and abetting and fewer and fewer are willing to continue doing it, so the empire's systems are continuing to decline in effectiveness, at an accelerating rate. Technical competence with large and complex systems requires intellectual courage, which is impossible without spiritual integrity .
the word economy has also been tanking during the period of the "study." but the advantage of these kinds of "studies" is that they distract people from the real problem, i.e., the sociopaths who pay for such "studies."
problem is not the technology but an economic system run by sociopaths. nuclear is a safer tech' than the real-world options. i doubt if many of the eco extremists know anything about developments in the technology over the last five years. their ancestors were against fire, gossiping about mine as they sat around in the dark chewing raw meat.

the statement is prima facie a lie. apple implies in it that their charger is safe, but, if this is the truth, they wd have had the charger tested by a third party and published the results with the rest of the statement. come to think of it, maybe they did have it tested;o)
'Mad' as in 'crazy.' The U.S. "government" just doesn't get it. It now has at best a second-rate military since getting rid of its citizens' army and trashing its economy, and the rest of the world is waking up to the fact. I wonder what the dinosaurs think they're going to do when Russia ignores their blustering.
"At MI5 you'll sharpen your skills working with the latest technologies and brightest minds."
"Brightest minds"? Pathetic wretches. No one with a single strand of moral fiber will work for the spooks, anywhere. And a technician without moral fiber is a hireling and devoid of sustainable creativity. The brightest minds are those who work because they love it. Who but the brain-dead wd work for the most disgusting people in human history and love it? Excepted of course are those who work inside the system to wreck it;o)
Because there are millions of people who use Office. You must be a techie (like me;o) and can't get inside the head of Average Joe computer user, who thinks that a computer is Explorer, Office, and Excel, who has no idea of the difference between h'ware and s'ware, and who thinks that the words "OS" and "applications" are Greek. Joe's ancestors didn't know the difference between fire and heat. Asking him to switch from Office to Open Office is like telling a Hottentot, "Oh, by the way, when you come to work tomorrow, leave yr slingshot home. We're switching to AK47s."
great news, but i still fear that a serial hybrid is a necessary link to the final goal, i.e., a fuel-cell commuter car, but so far the "government" seems to be succeeding in its efforts to stop progress in this area, e.g., its sabotage of the Chevy Volt project.
it seems to me that you have just blithely dismissed the requirement of the u.s. constitution that only congress can send us to war. or am i missing something? please, in the interest of free speech, respond to my question.
what i love about the article is how the suit blithely goes on about a project he's managing when he has no one competent to build it. the only people he's got are yes boys and girls who will promise everything they think will help their job security and produce nothing but cr*p for show time. gutless people make gutless software.
if these people ever recover the means of violence, they will again act like monsters. i was a catholic monk for 7 years and know the thing from the inside. look at the stuff they're still running in Ireland. look at what they're trying to do in the states around abortion. if they cd manage it, they'd have jackboots killing people just like in their good old days.
the catholic propagandist does a maneuver which is standard for all bullies once you get them on the ground: blame someone else. read at his link. in the world of weasily crap, it's a masterpiece. the sneaky little creep pretends to present just the facts, with no bias towards anyone, and in so doing makes the best possible case in favor of the monster. if he isn't a jesuit, he's one of their pupils.
i don't agree. not all companies are run by idiots. work for them and let the dead bury the dead. but if you want to be 'realistic' and take a fatter paycheck in exchange for 'compromise,' be honest, admit what yr doing, and spare us the philosophy.
once e'one is signed off on a version, it gets implemented and used before ANYTHING else happens. and the version must include how long the thing is to be used before the next one is designed. without this principle, yr dead. and if they don't like it, go find other work. sh*t flies.
i'm not sure you've ever designed a system. the 'algorithm' you imply is simple. but if the playing field is crowded with people whose goal in life is to be f*king up wet dreams, you've got serious problems.
In the "government," CYA rules and produces the results with which we're all familiar.

"it's a recipe for gridlock"
depending on what gets gridlocked, it might be a good idea.

Paypal seems to have given the money back, restored the acct, AND given MP $1k!!! see:

i find this bizarre in the extreme. i wd like to believe that it means that paypal and amazon are thinking about joining the human race, but

sleep with dogs, get fleas.
sounds like they don't want to keep their word on the bounty. FB smells of suits, increasingly and at an accelerating rate.
these people are gobbledygook merchants. the article is the most mindless thing i've ever read.

anyone who's used ANY kind of email system knows that they are lying. or rather, saying to the American people, "F*CK YOU, you pathetic wimps."

UC is hiring a person who is both a spy and a bully to police increasingly restive students.
