And maybe you haven't. I don't have the time or the interest to spam anyone, especially not Imgur.

And even if the site has a community you'd rather not associate with, there's always value in closing vulnerabilities on sites and systems with a legitimate purpose.
Are they actually doing that or are you just extrapolating from the language in the license agreement?
Microsoft is not shy about admitting that they use the data they gather for advertising. You're either new here, or blissfully ignorant of Microsoft's practices.
Imgur is an okay image sharing spot, but it's infested with pansy-ass SJW types who take exception to the smallest of slights or imagined insults. Special snowflakes abound, and if you don't hew to their extreme form of social justice groupthink then your account will be maliciously downvoted and reported until it's banned.
Even the littlest departure from their SJW mindset will trigger them into fits of outrage. I've seen this happen to many, many people, and when I dared to speak out about this abusive "tyranny of the intolerant", they banned me too. Frankly, nothing of value was lost on either side. lol
"...now you don't even have to tell anyone that you're using Debian."
Oh the shame, what would my neighbors say if they knew I was using Debian? They'd probably stop picketing the child molester's house down the street and come after me with torches and pitchforks.
To increase the reach of the surveillance network, of course. If you don't think those things will be used by the police/government to find and/or track people then you're kidding yourself.
There is no need to "fake" a signature. Any scribble will suffice. No one, absolutely no one, checks the signature for anything. Just drag the stylus across the screen in a straight line, and it will say "accepted".
This is 100% true as far as I can tell.
I've put ridiculous scribbles on the signature pad and it "passes" me every time, every single time. I doubt any checking is being done, or if it is then the "variance" factor has been cranked up to 100. I could probably put an "X" or sign "Fuck You" or draw a dick pic and it would probably accept it.
Worse than that: The credit card companies and banks insist that you should sign your card. In other words a criminal who gains access to your card, or an image of it, has a conveniently provided image of your signature to practice with!
And this is why we never sign our cards. If the store complains, we'll show them ID, but we don't sign our cards, period.
I've done a bunch on installs on laptops and desktops in the last 6 months or so and it's always installed flawlessly, everything works. It's an attractive, functional system.
Three universities in Germany have a small scale version, how retarded are you?
Then show us a link, angel'o'sphere, show us one of these working prototypes of a vacuum train transport system.
If you're so sure this is a workable concept, why not bet some money on it? If you can't afford $10,000, let's bet $1,000, or even just 1 dollar.
Put your money where your mouth is, angel'o'sphere. If you won't, then I think that tells us all we need to know about your belief in this nonsense scheme.
but sure, convince yourself otherwise if it makes you feel better.
Pot is now fully legal for recreational use in multiple states, with more coming. There are more "nones" than ever before, and that metric is increasing. Abortion is legal in every state. Gay marriage is legal in every state. Church membership is at record low levels and dropping. An African-American elected as president in two back-to-back landslide elections. Gay rights recognized in most states. Most people are fine with gay neighbors and coworkers. A woman is most probably going to be elected as president in the next election.
Face facts: this a liberal country, especially compared to 20 or 30 or 40 years ago. The trend is clear: the country is liberal and becoming more so, regardless of whether or not you can admit it to yourself.
"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens, that'll be next."

There are plenty of conservatives who aren't religious and many liberals who are religious. Not sure why you think conservative = religious.
Because that is generally the way things break out, and we both know it. Yes, there are plenty of conservatives who aren't religious and many liberals who are religious, but overall, the generalization holds.
Point 1: America is 38% conservative and 24% Liberal.
If this is true, why aren't conservatives winning every seat in every election, including the Presidency? The reason is because most voters are more liberal than they are conservative. That's undeniable at this point.
The fact is that America is no longer a conservative country. For example, for the first time in history there are more "nones" (people with no religious affiliation) than any other voting block. That statistic is never going to go back down, ever. That's clearly not the sign of a conservative country.
Religious belief and attendance is down more than ever before in history. There are fewer churches and places of worship in this country than ever before in history. Religion is dying off here, both figuratively and literally. That's not the sign of a conservative country.
Deny it all you like, but the fact is that America is slowly but steadily moving towards more liberal social and political systems, not away from them. It's been doing this since the late 50's, but has sped up a bit considerably the last decade or so. The people got a taste of freedom from conservative values, and they liked it.
Pot is now fully legal for recreational use in multiple states with more coming (count on it). That's not the sign of a conservative country.
So go ahead and claim it's a conservative country if you want, but it's not. This isn't 1950, it's 2016 and the country is liberal and getting more so. And I'm all for it.
Well, get going and do it already. If it can perform the same functions and reliably survive under battlefield conditions, you can probably mark it up by $400K and make a bundle on every unit you sell.
Making a sale to the DOD from an outsider like me is next to impossible. If you're not part of the established military contractor network then you don't stand a chance. I could build a better, stronger, more capable replacement for less and they'd just sneer at me.
Look at it- is there anything on that jumped-up golf cart that couldn't be replicated at 1/3rd the cost? Nope, I could build 90% of it from COTS gear and get the rest from specialty suppliers. This thing uses no high-tech cutting-edge technology, it's a roving audio-video platform with a modified hunter's deer-finder and some range-finding crap, plus an RC package to drive it. To build one for $100K would be no problem. And mine would have the ability to defend itself from anyone who wanted to take the hubcaps off it, too.
Ad in fear of third party injection of malware via ads, and now I'll always install an adblocking extension.
Yep, that all by itself is a good enough reason to install one.
Sadly, the web has become a gaudy, eye-watering shithole, littered with endless ads and social media vomit. I remember when it wasn't that way, when you didn't have to worry that just visiting a site would load malware on your system that would maliciously encrypt your files and hold them for ransom.
It's become the equivalent of a $2 crack whore- an entity with zero morals or ethics who's just looking for any opportunity to rip you off and fuck you over.
Well, here's the thing. What do you need adblock for? If you're not going to whitelist advertiser domains, they're not showing up in the first place.
As nmb3000 mentioned below, most ads are served via a javascript snippet embedded in the page. NoScript takes care of most ads but it also blocks any malicious javascript that may be in the page as well. It blocks javascript called from other domains as well, so it's pretty effective.
If silverlight qualifies as "really good" for you, I'd hate to see what you think is bad...
Lol, silverlight...never used it, never will. Doesn't seem to affect my browsing not to have it installed. If I ever run across a site that's using it I'll just go somewhere else.

Usersub was literally the only place I ever went.
It's funny because they always make fun of Tumblr for being SJW, and yet they turn around and downvote anything not 100% PC.
Bingo. It's a serious case of pot-meets-kettle...the hypocrisy and groupthink there makes Scientology look like a haven for free thinkers.

Your google foo must be low on you.

I'd be surprised if it was only $34 million.
Unless they counted every type of ransomware and every instance of payment, my guess is they're missing quite a bit of the actual revenue generated.
You say "democrat sex fiend" like it's a bad thing, troll... :)
I'm happy to claim the title of "democrat sex fiend", even though I don't really support Hillary. :)
