You mean the "pigs" that protect your chubby suburban white ass from getting killed?
The criminal always has the initiative. The "pigs" don't protect or prevent ANYTHING. They show up after the fact to clean up the mess, and SOMETIMES get up off their asses to actually try to catch a perpetrator - you know, someone who has already DONE the crime. You have this wild notion that police somehow are the only barrier between the citizen and crime. No, the police are the CONSEQUENCES of crime for the criminal. That is, when they get the right guy. But anyone guilty enough will do, at the end of the day. The only barrier the police are really for is between you and those who rule you.
Confirming that this is true. I used to go to the US at least once a year, every year. I haven't been for 5 or 6 years and I actively seek flights that bypass the US hubs.
I don't follow; if the server is returned, it will be wiped and reloaded.
any isp would do that.
Except these servers are being hosted by a 3rd party. One that could be coerced into NOT doing that (authorities are getting good at this "guilt by association" thing), or the actual hardware itself could have been modified. The 3rd party is just a host, they are absolutely not obligated to comply with any "privacy" deals that Perfect Privacy may have promised to its customers. If you want to do something right you have to do it yourself. I seem to remember hearing that somewhere.
Actually I read a few hours every day. The battery life on the old kindle e-ink devices is amazing. No, pretty much every time I want to read there's plenty of charge left.
Trouble is, you think it's scientific research. No, this is legal research. Sanford talked to their lawyers and said "how can we avoid being sued or have our brand associated with this". The lawyers gave a reply. And thus a new rule is born.
This comes out exactly when Putin denies any Russian involvement in the DNC leaks. Let's see who shouts louder. In the meantime the guy ("Guccifer") who was arrested for allegedly hacking Hillary's email server, but then wasn't charged for it because the US couldn't actually prove it, has been sentenced on other charges. By the way he's from ROMANIA not Russia, but I understand that Americans will have trouble with the two countries that start with R.
Intel doesn't want to support a million different OSes
Intel doesn't have to. It's the OS that's supposed to support the hardware. The fact that people seem to think it's the other way around nowadays is exactly what is wrong with the industry.
Because Microsoft has a hugely successful track record with "deep integration" with ANYTHING. I guess this is the "Extinguish" phase for CPU manufacturers. You made a deal with the devil, now you reap the rewards. Don't say no one ever told you so.
I guess I'll be hunting for old CPUs and motherboards and buying second-hand in my retirement years.
High school students are told that Pavlov taught dogs how to drool with a bell, because it sounds nice. In reality Pavlov drilled holes into dogs' stomachs and stuck a catheter in there through their abdominal walls, and measured the pH and enzyme content of gastric secretions when he rang the bell. Needless to say the dogs died after the experiment.
with 20 lines of assembly code that a) know one knows how they got there b) no one knows what they do and c) cause the program to crash if they're removed or modified in any way.

Who do you think is going to protect you in your little suburban house?
No one. Protection is a myth.

If only humans weren't subject to it. But, that low hanging fruit is so tempting.

That's exactly what I've been doing for the past few years. Avoiding the US. All my tourism and shopping dollars are going elsewhere.

Yes I have to admit, plugging in my kindle for 30 mins every week or two is a real pain.
I can't get a kindle book from a friend, read it, then pass it on to another friend.
I can't lend a kindle book to a friend and have him never return it, even after I remind him twice. Hey there are plus sides.

By then it won't be called Windows 10 anymore. It will be Windows Legal.

No one, but there's always a smart-ass who says he would have, if he had actually bothered to visit the site.
Those are the people we put on the "B" Ark.

They can quit on the real mission too. The airlock is RIGHT THERE. Just sayin'...
And they will finance those self driving vehicles with their mountain of debt and excellent lack of credit rating.
I like Uber. But this seriously reminds me of the DotCom days. The usual business formula is to keep income GREATER than expenses.
Could have been a semaphore tower, just sayin'
High Frequency Suing.
I installed linux.
The problem is they always fire the wrong people.
