So your argument boils down to "blackberries can be hacked if only anyone cared to." Which speaks nothing to the various government agencies that have given it the highest security certifications (pretty much all heads of state use blackberries) nor the reality that blackberry stakes its reputation on security whereas the other two contenders are "best effort" when it comes to security.
I agree that no systems is perfectly secure but your argument is specious at best.
and weren't a complete waste of taxpayer money these robo calls would never happen. I have for YEARS been getting the same pre-recorded message call to my cell phone promising me to lower my credit card payment. Searching the internet shows hundreds of folks complaining about the same -- down to the very spoofed caller ID number. I've filed numerous complaints online at the FTC and yet fuck all happens.
It seems like there are a slew of jobs for people making $80 - $120k with a small sprinkling of jobs between $120 and $140k for very senior and skilled people. But how many true "developers" make more than $140k?
Nobody's sitting on the phones. The issue affected people putting the phone in their front pocket. As to the million of phones sold, yes, Apple has a lot of lemmings.
"it requires no less than three taps on different install buttons, at least two loading bars, and a fair amount of patience before you can actually use the app you're trying to install."
Heaven forfend.. installing apps is exactly how much time spent on a phone? 0.1%?
Um, you're aware the iPhone6 is getting huge negative press for literally deforming while inside a front pocket? The blackberry passport, by contrast, has a stainless steel frame.
Or with my BlackBerry I continue to get all new OS releases that by and far have improved battery life, stability, and performance while adding new features left and right.
You don't have to pick the blue or red pill. Oh, and it runs all Android apps.
>My impression is that most of Africa's problems are cultural, like for example the response to Ebola.
That's more education than culture. Heck, it was a tradition for a while in the West to take dead relatives, dress them up, and pose for photos with them.
>> Africans would've been infinitely better off left completely to their own devices. Would they still be living in stone age primitive societies? Yes. Would it be preferable to what they have now? Yes.
Cute. You speak for all of Africa. Change your nic to Shakazulu Ghost or something.
Why don't you travel to Africa and advise them to turn their back on all Western things because, y'know, they'll always be incapable of self governance without whitey. Call the movement something catchy.. Boko Haram maybe.
Do tell how "the west" is responsible for most of Africa's ills. Last I checked they've mostly been governing themselves for a few generations (exception SA). Shall we blame the Brits for Sunni and Shiia slaughtering each other for hundreds of years too?
Cool.. what if I don't want the police digging through my possessions at will? I assume you'd be cool with them rummaging around in your house too, yeah?
Did you even RTFA? Shall I avoid wearing designer clothes and having an air freshener? Drinking energy drinks is now a mark of being a drug dealer? Please send me a list of approved attire, standards of car cleanliness, and any other requirements for not appearing like a drug dealer.
Yeah, small local communities.. like Philadelphia.
It's a brave new world in the USSA. NSA tracking (probably a fraction of what we know about), police kicking you out of your home without charges, and so on. The worst part is we have a whole new generation of cops and lawyers growing up where all this is the norm. It makes the next encroachment seem that much less outlandish.
Either get off the grid or get wealthy / connected. Or be content being cattle.
Is pretty hilarious. All countries pull their fair share of bullshit but come on.. territorial waters that just wander southward like that, cutting between vietnam and the philippines?
Oh well.. I expect a typhoon or two will swamp those attempts at man-man islands.
You write the truth. If you want to be rich there's one sure-fire way.. become a dentist. The problem is you'll spend your life working with people who really don't want to see you, with whom you never build a relationship. To say nothing of poking around in someone's smelly orifice all day.
There's a reason doctors and lawyers have high rates of substance abuse and suicide. It's a shitty job a lot of the time.
Pfft, ok, got it. Be unable to afford a $200 ticket or accept that you "live in luxury." In today's world where, even as a welder, you may well have to move states to find work, flying is as much a luxury as is having an auto.
And to make room for a first-class cabin with lie-flat beds on transcontinental flights, JetBlue cut the distance between coach seats by one inch.
Has actual real-world consequences? Tsk, tsk.. The rich can lay sprawled out in their lay-flat beds while the plebs snarl at one another while standing ankle-deep in their own feces. We're back to the good old days of the Titanic.
Right but how do you know which connection belongs to which client without setting it all up by hand? Presumably he'll have to initiated the connection via script or manually on the first go-round so I suppose that's the proper time to build out the mapping.
500 OpenVPN connections is going to be a bit of a headache to keep straight. Obviously you won't have 500 tun devices so it'll be a multi-client to server config. You'll need a means of knowing that 10.20.20.x is client x and 10.20.20.y is client y. Of course OpenVPN allows you to do this but maintaining that table by hand could be a bit of a pain.
HTTPS solutions like NewRelic aren't an option because you want to be able to ssh back into the host..
Assuming all clients will allow it I can only think to create an out-of-band registration process whereby the clients do something like HTTPS POST to a URL you manage. The POST would contain some degree of identifying information which your system would then use to configure a new OpenVPN client config.
Well I hope you're right. Whether it's Apple or Huawei or McDonalds. It'd be great to have a wrist watch that I feel I can't leave home without because it makes my life that much better. I'm just not holding my breathe for that any more than I am for finger-rings that do something useful... actually a bartender guy I knew had a bottle-opener ring..

That's a bad metric.. $20k of that would immediately get eaten by health insurance and other things companies usually provide.
It seems like there are a slew of jobs for people making $80 - $120k with a small sprinkling of jobs between $120 and $140k for very senior and skilled people. But how many true "developers" make more than $140k?
Not true. I'm thankful for Edward Snowden lifting the veil on the NSA's illegal programs. I'd buy the guy a beer if I could.

and if you had the common sense to wear a condom, AIDS would be contained "without much trouble."
Because that just means the virus has a longer horizon to hop somewhere else.. like Mumbai.
