Do you think the government should be able to retrieve your private conversations on an analyst's "hunch"?
Not at all, I think the whole thing is total bullshit, beyond expression and pushes the bounds of humanity itself. However That means nothing to anyone but me, maybe some others. What our government needs is some small, no matter how small, reason to point a finger. Don't forget, the whole war in Iraq started because of a "hunch". And they found out that that hunch was wrong. Well... the wars (yes wars) machine keeps on turning, brother.
...so unless you think the government has a secret back door into every encryption algorithm...
Seriously, why are The People trying to play Spy vs Spy with their own government? The government owns the internet. It's as silly to encrypt your license plate as it is your text messages. You have no way to do so. If you're able to send a text, then you're using a carrier of some kind. That carrier has no control over the government's ability to get the data if the government wants to. Remember, it's metadata that we're talking about. "Who talked to who - and what time(s)". Linking people together is what it's all about. They don't need to know what you're talking about, so long as they know who you're talking to.
It's amazing how our brains are evolved over millions of years to make sense, and yet some will look for any excuse not to use it. If they treat their own brain this way, why would they honor an app?
Once they "perfected" the technology, and how to harness the power, why would there still be as many "developers? That's the whole point of developing, isn't it, to maintain a steady efficient process by which power can be "cheaply" bought?
Of course there should still be fine-tuning of the process, but the man-power needed has been quite reduced.
I know what you mean, and trust me, I was prepared for the worst. I'm no fan of the way that they've done it, at. all. I figured that I'd have to pay twice what I've been paying, as was first told to me by Blue Cross. But it ended up that I qualified for a tax credit that lowered the cost significantly.
I would be pissed if I had to pay $800 per month for health coverage, when I go to the doctor (a total of) 6 times per year for a family of 4. Not to mention I would have had to pay, out of pocket, $3,000 a year before insurance 'starts'. I totally understand, and sympathies with those that are on the "losing" side of this. These prices are ridiculous, and the fact that it's being forced, only serves to amplify. And the truth is, that there are far more "poor" people than there are "rich" people. Simply doubling the cost for the rich isn't going to even out the balance.
The result will be that people are less likely to want to be a doctor in order to get rich.
The "Just Lie" bit was a tongue-in-cheek swat at how the NSA lied to congress and nothing happened.
I'm paying less than a thousand dollars for insurance per year. This doesn't include dental (I have a dentist buddy that does work for free) however, and my 2 children are going to be on medicaid (free). So the plan is really just for my wife and I. No lie, we're broke and the government has set things up to where rich folks are paying for the medical insurance of the poor.
I waited until the last minute because 'fuck the government' right? But when I did call, I got a really nice lady that walked me through the whole process in less than 30 minutes. They basically ask you the questions from the forms (the forms are also available to fill out yourself and mail in. Forms link, and instructions link)
I have a family of 4 and we'll end up paying $74.00 per month for Blue Cross Silver plan. It's better than what I have right now through Blue Cross, and I've been paying $400 a month for it.
You could probably go out and get a homeless person and just hand them all of your music. Just tell them to do whatever they want with it. It'll be a better interface, and at least someone will know where the hell all of your music is.
Is something happening to YouTube? Hell, I've used youtube to get the last 2000 songs that I have. You can download music like a bat outta hell from those guys. Of course, I'm talking about older music (80's - 90's), because I can't stand the new music these days.
They look out and see 2 black holes thousands of light years apart. Then they look later (not thousands of years later, mind you) and they're mere light years apart. I have such a poor understanding of how this is possible. Can anyone explain?
I trust Microsoft, but for reasons that you overlooked. I trust that they'll continuously change their products in a way that requires everyone that runs a business, that uses computers, to have an IT guy. That's me trusting that I'll always have a work load, being self employed.
But yeah, if you trust that Microsoft will 'help' you 'stay silent' from the NSA, then you should read this. Because in reality, the NSA 'helped' Microsoft build Windows 7.
As far as we know, this thing happens all the time, and more than likely, these PCs that are infected, are infected by more than one key-logger. Update your antivirus is a moot point, because unless the 'virus' is known, then the antivirus folks cannot do anything about it anyway. By the time these things are found out, it's far to late anyway. There is no advise that can be given here, except, "Don't get a virus", which is silly to tell someone.
A day on the Moon lasts 29.5 of our Earth days. In other words, if you were standing on the surface of the Moon, it would take 29.5 days for the Sun to move entirely through the sky and return to its original position.
I'm not sure why they're not sending spores up first. Mycelium is capable of living off of the oxygen that's supposedly in the moon's soil (H2O) and is capable of providing carbon. And they don't care about light.
I had basically the same situation at my last job. I fought it for years, talk about 'working on your nerves'. Anyway, I finally quit. After that they got some other guy to take my position, and he quit 3 weeks later. They eventually had to restructure the company, but did so in a way to keep the stupidity that caused us to quit. They're a failing company now, and I've moved on. Now I'm self-employed and am able to pay my bills. Aside from being able to sustain my life with money, I'm also able to sustain my sanity, and I'm a lot better to be around now, I hear.
I don't care, whatever they come up with, fine let it be. But the fact that there are so many different kinds of USB plugs now, totally negates what "USB" stands for. Whatever they come up with, just. fucking. keep. it. that. way - and on both sides!. The whole reason that I originally bought an iPhone was due to the salesman that told me that the charger was a USB charger.
Didn't the UK implement a law that requires some devices (phones?) to use a universal connector of some kind, in order to stop the madness of shitting on the public, requiring them to keep purchasing new proprietary cables every year, trashing all the old ones? What a good idea that was.
Seriously you'd think by now... the artists as a collective would have created their own distribution service and raked in the dough.
The band Tool does that for themselves, but to do it for other artists... dunno, that seems weird. I imagine that, like so many other groups of people, bands simply can't focus on 2 aspects of the industry. Making music as well as focusing on releasing that music on a scale that exceeds 1 band's tunes would eventually be to tiresome. I mean to say that at some point the sheer volume of music that had to be "delivered" to The People would require a full-time group of people that would have to get some cut of the cash. From there it's bound to evolve in the same manner that it's currently in, to some degree, where the artists feel that they're not getting a fair cut. After all, the more bands there were to contribute music, the more "cut" there is, and eventually, those spending time "delivering" music will be making more than the artists making the music.
“The only security on the Parrot drones is that when the owner is connected to it, no one else is able to control it. This is why I need to use a wifi chipset that allows me to inject packets as I need to exploit wifi and deauthenticate the true owner who is controlling it,” Kamkar said.
So I've gotta ask, what would stop someone from doing this same thing on either side. On one side, you've got those that could hijack your parrot using the same tactics that you are using to hijack the drone. On the other side, whatever you do to protect your parrot, could be implemented to protect the drone, right? Am I missing something? Also, what's to stop parrots from buzzing around doing the same "evil" that Google did with wireless routers.
The striking thing in this article isn't that we're different, but that our differences appear to be in a realm that is not physical, but is reflected in the physical realm.
I was going to pose the same basic question. I, like you, have an easier time with women that are more masculine. Lesbians and I get along great, whereas gay men and I have no real interesting thing to do with each other; seems obvious but, again like you, I'd like to get a better understanding of it all. In a way I feel like a lesbian trapped in a man's body
In my opinion, our physical bodies are a mere reflection to a higher order of being that we do not consciously experience. Our very fiber of being manifests here physically, as there appears to be no other place to do so:) I don't think that this higher order of things has a "sex" to it as we commonly understand here in the physical realm. I think that the only word that we could use to define what you and I both appear to be trying to understand would be "direction", but in a different dimension, or realm. As we improve in our technology, we'll make more discoveries about the physical realm and how it relates to consciousness itself, and in doing so, we'll understand the differences between men and women. As it stands, we are left to contemplate these things. However I think it's an interesting question to pose: "How much would we procreate if the idea of 'sexes' were removed?" Like, how would you cope with "a dude with a vagina"? Or "a woman with a penis"? Right now, we need to be aroused by different things in order to procreate, and that arousal is subjective.
I'd never heard of that guy prior to now. Very interesting, thank-you!
And it's a bit ironic as well, because what I really wanted to say would have been about mushrooms rather than weed. But there's no mushroom funny that I know of.

Yup. I feel like the headlines these days are more like GTA radio commentary than reality.

So the brain connections we develop from our experiences happen to reflect the roles we tend to nudge ourselves into.
That sounds better.
