How nice for a shill for the for-profit prison industry to show up. You and your upmodders seem to have a lot in common with the Taliban, since obviously the self-righteous authoritarian mindset is something you have in common. Is it even possible for you to grasp that your 'solution' is even worse than whatever detrimental effects on society drug use has and does nothing to address the actual reasons why many turn to substances to begin with? Can you even comprehend the unintended consequences that prohibition has had already?
Smoking kills millions per year and nicotine is an addictive drug too, why not sentence all smokers to life in prison too- or better yet, why not just shoot them in the street and really send a message? It is amazing and somewhat terrifying that people like you actually think this way.

I don't bother trying to play their game of trying to find the exit, when there are extensions like this that always give you a consistent method for brushing that shit aside. These days, this and an ad blocker seem to be necessary for a decent browsing experience anymore.
Look how many hyperbolic posts that breathlessly support the narrative we're supposed to swallow are upmodded +5 insightful, in comparison to the low scores of posts that point out how absurd and deliberate this hyperbolic spin is. Makes me wonder if the editors with their unlimited mod points aren't moonlighting for Correct The Record.
Make high-speed data plans slightly cheaper as long as basic cable is included. Claim subscribers as 'video customers'. "Success!"
MS makes the latest Win10 upgrade nag full-screen, after a long campaign of dirty tricks forcing win7 users to upgrade. "Tens of millions of people switched to Windows 10! Success!"
"white privilege" is their devil, and their altar of worship is universal egalitarianism. (rednecks and welfare cowboys need not apply)
Apparently, I'm a born sinner in more ways than one. To not unconditionally accept their dogma can only be met with browbeating and ad hominems, because there really is no right way to answer their intellectual equivalent of 'have you stopped beating your wife'.
If you assume that your phone has been compromised to the point that you can't trust the indicator that says that you're radio is turned off then it would be trivial to just log your route and upload it whenever you turn the physical circuit back on.
In the Vice news interview, Snowden demonstrates physically removing the cameras and mics from the phone. My point was rather than have to go to this extreme, the next best thing would be mods to be able to toggle those features or radios without having to trust the phone's OS. Even just a switch instead of having to pull the battery would be a big improvement.
The difficulty seems to be that they're trying to hack privacy onto phones that are not really designed for it.
Sure, but just having a physical switch for the radios/batteries/mic/camera could go a long way in helping someone feel like they actually control their phone. There's no way to be sure that a phone isn't bugged, but being able to break the circuit when desired is better than nothing at all. As you pointed out, actually having privacy while using it is an entirely different matter.
Yet oddly, the requirement to provide identification in order to purchase alcohol beverages poses no issue that I've heard of. I guess the poor don't consume alcohol or are all elderly enough not to be requested identification.
More likely, providing ID in order to vote is onerous to those with no legal status in the US; who just happen to mostly vote for the DNC, the party which just happens to be against voter id laws.
One must always take the source into consideration, but facts are verifiable. Such as the doctrine of the Abrogator and the Abrogated, which islamist apologists always conveniently fail to mention when trying to quote Meccan suras to prove how benevolent islam is.
Keep in mind that this time around we had two insurgent candidates that overwhelmed expectations. The DNC propaganda machine and elites had to work overtime to keep Clinton afloat, and Trump took the spot despite hostile opposition by the party leadership. Seems to me the winds of change are blowing, and if anything good comes from Clinton vrs. Trump, it'll be the very strong argument against the first-past-the-post system of elections.
Perhaps because of the principle of 'white privilege' in relation to blacks which is the leftist's equivalent of the religious right's 'born sinner', since using guilt and providing a path to atonement is a time-tested proven method for conditioning a person to accept indoctrination. On the flip side, focusing on the deaths of blacks at the hands of whites takes advantage of human nature to be tribalistic, and reinforces a persecution complex which is useful to exploit for political purposes.
For example, look at the Zimmerman case where the media had an intense desire to paint the shooter as a racist 'white hispanic', and the victim as an innocent black child. The narrative instantly became one of injustice as a result of racial preference, and even as the facts of the case were made apparent, the media had a vested interest in continuing that narrative because it captured the nation's attention and made them millions. The same strategy was used for the Ferguson incident and it worked perfectly, even giving rise to the BLM movement itself. The shooters being exonerated as a matter of self defense in direct contrast to the distorted media narrative reinforced the perception of institutionalized racism, and thus made the public even more engaged as it heightened racial tensions.
So, if you can determine who benefits the most from stoking racial tension in this country, you may have your answer.
I suppose it is only just a small detail that the last standoff with private militia wasn't initiated with the cold blooded murder of innocent people. Hardly makes any difference at all, I guess.
In your rush to make a racist non sequitur, did you not notice the part where said black man just murdered multiple people? Or is this the new reincarnation of 'hands up don't shoot'?
Except Comey made the point that anyone else would be facing consequences, likely because the statutes involved are very clear. His conclusion was a direct contradiction, unless you accept that HRC is too big to jail. When there is obvious bias in an outcome, then there is little reason to have confidence in the integrity of the process that led to it.
So, you're a little premature to be judging Snowden's actions in comparison to Clinton's. We know the scope of his actions, but the full extent of Clinton's has been obfuscated in order to protect her for political reasons. Let's wait and see if some conscientious FBI agents leak the rest of the story, since the only hope we have now for ever getting the truth is through whistleblowers.
If there was evidence of harm as a result of the top secret and SAP level confidential information being leaked, do you think the general public would be told of it through official channels? We have no idea the content of those messages. People may have died, for all we know. You must believe that all foreign espionage agencies are completely incompetent to think that the unsecured server Clinton was using hadn't been compromised, unlike Micheal Haydn, former NSA and CIA director who says he would lose all respect for the competition if they hadn't breached it.
Just 'carelessness', spoken like a true shill. All the lies, destruction of evidence, sweetheart deals while the Clinton foundation receives millions from foreign governments, all of that apparently means nothing to you. You'd probably piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. Snowden did a great service for the American public and exposed the hypocrisy of threatening other countries with war over state sponsored hacking, whereas Clinton served only her own interests but got caught at it.
Personally I care about my hardware since wiping the OS after a malware infection is no guarantee that it has been removed. Not all AV is bloated and ineffective, and so it is worth it to pay next to nothing for a decent solution if it lessens the odds that I have to deal with malware at some point. Also, you might not have noticed that MS has turned completely user hostile anyway and has been turning their OS into an adware platform that also spies on you, so I don't even want my machine to be connected to MS if I can help it let alone rely on their 'free' av solution.
If I must browse the web with windows, I use ad-blocked chromium in linux in a virtual machine on top of EMET and antivirus in a non-privileged user session. Some would say even that isn't good enough.
Of course any antivirus doing a scheduled hdd scan would slow down the machine, especially on laptops that have slow 5400 rpm drives. It was trivial to configure policy using the AVG enterprise console for scheduling scans around 3am to avoid this problem. Perhaps you were just using the free version and not bothering with setting it up after install.
I had my problems with AVG but not the slowness you described. My biggest issue with AVG was that their enterprise support was the same priority as the free personal use product, as in near non existent.
This is a lesson in controlled opposition and whitewashing; by having the FBI refuse to recommend an indictment brushes aside the damning evidence that has already surfaced into public knowledge and allows propaganda groups like Correct The Record and DNC pundits to chalk up the whole exercise as merely just another attack by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
We can't be surprised, because even nine supreme court justices at one time were involved in obstructing justice and suppressing evidence in order to benefit the Clintons, such as the original polaroids taken at Vince Foster's crime scene. The entire mass of DNC elites wants nothing more than to continue on with their coronation.
We know the mafia has 'made men', and just like the mafia our government has their chosen ones. This is why HRC was able to perjure herself, was allowed to attempt destruction of evidence, and obstruct Judicial Watch's lawful FOIA requests at every turn. This is why all of Brian Pagliano's emails were 'lost' by the State Department and he was able to plead the 5th over a hundred times. This is why Bill Clinton was able to meet directly with the attorney general in private the week before this announcement came out. We'll never know the nature of the leaked TS and SAP level confidential information and what consequences that info may have had, such as revealing the security status of certain embassies.

We're completely against racial and gender bias, which is why we're enacting quotas for the race or gender of employees that we'd prefer.

I've always wondered why technical support is perfectly legal while prostitution isn't.

That such an insightful comment could be marked Troll is in itself quite telling, especially considering MS Win10 forced upgrade shenanigans.
Remember this episode? Not so futuristic or far fetched now, isn't it? Now we just need a resurgence of Google Glass type wearables.

Unless you came here for the commentary from fellow techies, you might be the type that only reads Playboy for the articles.
Why do we only care about the black ones?
