    To be fair, we had two terms from a republican governor / governator, but he's a RINO. Also the rebuts have maintained a large enough minority to torpedo any funding legislation since any tax changes require 67% supermaj. Also they have not hesitated to legislate at the ballot box, c.f. Prop 8.

    -I'm not sure how much power (as opposed to voltage) tasers put out---

    The Internet says "The TASER® devices release an electric current (TASER® C2 - 30 seconds of 50,000 volts at 7 watts, TASER® M26c - 5 seconds of 50,000 volts at 26 watts)". The low wattage makes sense ecause they're powered by 9v batteries.

    -1 disagree. a costume isn't a problem, but blocking the face is a problem. the face is how an actor expresses emotion, and if you block the face then it might as well be cgi.

    who has their face occluded in LOTR? I can't think of a single major character with the exception of gollum.

    i think you can really see lucas' attitude toward the craft of acting when you consider how many actors he put behind costumes or even took away any lines.

    hidden behind costumes:
    * darth vader
    * yoda
    * c3po
    * jabba and many more

    no lines:
    * darth maul

    costume AND no lines:
    * r2
    * chewie
    * that bounty hunter guy whose name escapes me
    * ewoks

    CNG, fuck the actors cuz who needs them:
    * jar jar
    * basically everybody from the latter movies except for the main actors and samuel jackson.

    it's clear, lucas has a disdain for actors that is unique in all of cinema.

    the wind was already taken out of the second hand market by having an anti-theft lock turned on by default. if you went to craigslist to buy a phone, you need to know if there is an antitheft lock on, because if you try to reset and install your own stuff, you could have bought a phone that you can't use. There are more structured options like amazon (buying direct, not from a marketplace person) or gazelle, but they get their markups.

    Right now I'm still using my two-year-old iphone 5. Once I got out of my att contract I took it to an mvno for prepaid service. I chose rok mobile for the best balance of low cost and high data cap.

  19. Re:Meh on How Malvertising Abuses Real-Time Bidding On Ad Networks · · Score: 4, Informative

    Reason number 48372534786 why it's better just to universally block advertisements on the internet.

    Apple has been leading on this front with several initiatives to protect users from malicious ads. One of them was a setting in Safari to only accept cookies from the first-party site, so when you go to cnn.com the browser accepts a cookie from cnn.com but not from malvertiser.com, who has a banner ad on the site.

    This upset google because it cut into their business model of selling effective ad space. So google inserted malicious code into webpages to hack the safari browser and override security settings so it could download unwanted and potentially malicious files onto users computers. Because of this, google received the biggest fine in FTC history and is being sued for privacy violations in the UK.

    Think about this for a second, and what it means. A website overriding browser security settings to serve unwanted and possibly malicious files. This is outrageous and unethical, and if it were Microsoft then the entire internet community would be enraged. Also think about it in light of this article on malvertisements, which google was actively propagating.

    Apple has since taken the cat and mouse game further, so the setting is "allow from current website only". I expect malvertisers to scramble to overcome this block, but I hope that legitimate respected top tier internet companies act a little more ethically.
