    Disturbing news tonight on the 9 O' clock news. A father accidentally blows his own son's head off after remotely triggering his cell phone case to detonate. Ironically, his son was trying to call his father at his office to let him know that he found his phone.

    Listen dude, I'm not trying to get into a pissing match, but your fanboism is starting to wreak. "Of the five things I listed, number 2 -- 2-factor authentication -- is on android as well. But numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5 are all iOS or apple specific and definitely not on android." Yeah they are, it's called using a custom rom that Google has no control over and avoiding the use of specific services. If your really believe that Apple is some Angle from heaven that's here for the good of humanity then you are insanely naive. Most especially if you consider the fact that their OS is not open source thus closed to in-depth scrutiny.

    Neither are more secure than the other and that's a fact and will always remain a fact so long as humans are using these devices. Nevertheless, everything you've listed is also available on android devices so I fail to see what point you're trying to make?

    Well, that"s why you use throwaway identities: http://www.fakenamegenerator.c... It may not be 100% foolproof, but it certainly makes it harder for others to build an exact profile of you. Most especially use something like Lastpass to import 3000 generated identities that you can randomly pick from to auto fill forms.

    Apple isn't any better than google. But at least with android devices you have the option of installing custom roms some of which improve both security and performance.

    The only thing to obstruct is higher taxes that do nothing but widen the class gap and to prevent alarmist radicals from using Earth as a test bed for climate engineering technologies.

    Even if all the ice in the world melted tomorrow we'd still have more than enough land mass for nature and humans to thrive on. Sure, many coastal cities would vanish under the waves, but that would force us to build in smarter places instead of wasting tons of resources on something that will eventually get swallowed.

    Unfortunately, we live in a world where 'publicity' generates profits....There was a time in the 60s when feminism was a legit cause, but now it has become a tool for advertisers. I mean, Google does generate $5 per person per day that utilizes their services...That's nearly 2k a year they're leaching off of each and every one of you... The problem is not with not enough women in tech, the problem is with ads.

    The problem with equality is that it assumes that one size fits all regardless of race, sex, or culture. It's not a cut and dry subject, there needs to be boundaries that all parties can not only establish but agree upon. But we must also accept the fact that we will be arguing about this until the end of time. In which case, we need to establish certain rules that will cater to future generations as time goes on so that we're not tied down by rules, in ages passed, that may no longer apply to said generation.

    Money is nothing more than the control of a nations' debt in the form of imaginary numbers which is why the FEDs can print endless amounts of it. Currency on the other hand is a 'medium of exchange' which is exactly what bitcoin is. While money is a form of debt aka financial slavery.

  20. Anything against monetarism is a crime on Judge Shoots Down "Bitcoin Isn't Money" Argument In Silk Road Trial · · Score: 1

    Of course bitcoin is a form of laundering. But then again, monetarism is a form of financial enslavement by a central entity which of course is the exact opposite of what bitcoin is since it's completely decentralized among other things. All in all, this argument of whether or not bitcoin is 'money' is moot given the fact that it is under no centralized control...That and money is not a currency given the fact that it's simply an imaginary number invented by those in control of a nations debt. However, bitcoin can be called a currency since it embodies the very definition of what a currency actually is: a medium of exchange. While money on the other hand is a form of debt....Take a look at any dollar and it will read it is a form of debt rather than a medium of exchange no thanks to centralized banks taking control of our nation at the turn of the 19th century. Just remember, money is not currency and currency is not money.
