I taught in Saudi Arabia during the last year. There's a mandatory Google safe search there. For the first few months I taught English before teaching IT. When students would ask what certain words meant, I'd show them pictures on Google images. Occasionally, the word wouldn't show. These were non-porn words. I wish I could remember what some of those words were because I'd like to check to see if they're also blocked in the US. What a fucked up thing, Google.
Sorry, I posted that while doing five other things. On my site, I have 17 out of 600 questions from the MMPI test (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). That test is owned by NCS Pearson, Inc. They had (have?) their attorneys send out DMCAs. There was an article on slashdot about the same attorney going after someone else for posting 75 questions. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/03/23/2324258/dealing-with-a-copyright-takedown-request
I filed a counter-notification because 17 questions is fair use. Two months later I got a 2nd DMCA about the same thing, from the same attorney. I sent Pair my 2nd Chilling Effect notice disputing the same DMCA. Pair said if they get sued, that they'll sue me for damages.
I wasn't sure if Pair paid attention to my first counter-notification. I asked about it a couple times. That took a week or two to get answered since I think they had to consult their attorney. They said I should've just played along and removed the 17 questions and that they'd disable my entire site if they got a 3rd complaint about those questions. They also said I should feel free to move to another provider.
All in all, a long way of saying, that I don't think Pair is big enough to handle the VPN for the Navy ship. Although maybe they've grown in the last few years.
Thanks for your advice. It's mostly about Pair saying they didn't care about my DMCA dismissal* and telling me if it happened again, they'd yank my site.
The email thing is just a reminder to leave. My contract ends in August and I'll move along.
* Done through Chilling Effects then I had a lawyer look it over. I donated money to EFF.
I was letting gmail handle my account from Pair. The spam ratio got big enough that Google complained to Pair and Pair cut me off from sending all my email to Google. I went a month without cleaning it out seeing how many spam messages I'd get. 10,000 appears to be the limit for Google.
I've also had a problem by objecting to a false DMCA complaint. Pair said I was the only one who objected rather than just remove the wrongly perceived complaint. They told me if there's another complaint that they will close my account.
I've had a Pair acct for over 10 years on an abandoned site that I overpay for. I think I'll be moving along when my contract ends this year.
Have you been to an ER in the US? I've waited 8 hours before. When I was in Australia and ran out of anti-seizure medication (held up in Customs) getting some more was wonderful. The confusing part was how to bill me since I'm American.
I think mandatory coverage (health care, vehicle coverage) should have a gub'mint provided way of doing it..
You should buy something small on that card and pay it off because they might cancel it since you don't use it. Small like a book or magazine or bottle of beer. I lost my oldest credit card for never using it.
Using google as a mostly blind search doesn't equal the advice you'd get from/. What you've seen and what's recommended here (even with the grain of salt) are different things.
I'm using IAPS (intl-alliance.com). It works ok. Facebook knows it's a proxy and sometimes won't refresh when other things do. $105/year. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but it's the choice I made. Saudi laws are very strict but it was stopping me from Rolling Stone magazine (reading Matt Taibbi's blog/columns) that got me off my ass.
When I was in Australia, I remember watching drunk parrots chase cats. Most cats back down when something walks at them. What a bunch of pussies. Ouch, that hurt to type.
Size and security is different in Israel. It's not the same as the US. Security is done behind the scenes. TSA shouldn't be expected to find anything because if a plot has reached it that far, they'd know how to get around TSA.
I'd treat flying as a calculated risk. The cockpits are sealed, so deal with it. It's still safer than driving.
I used to work there about 6 or 7 years ago back when one of my co-workers allegedly tried to steal a monkey although it was determined that the monkey must've escaped by crawling down the drain. If there's one thing a monkey is likely to do it's go up, not run for the middle of the floor and try going down a drain pipe. Everyone assumed that it was a monkey heist that went wrong.
If they started arming the security that was there then, that would be far more dangerous. He's likely to shoot himself in the face while scratching his head with the barrel Planet 9 style.
Doors are locked. Doors to the SIV monkeys are always locked. Keys are constantly being changed as people quit or lose their keys. I'm still close friends with someone who works there. Keys are still changed a lot.
I love traveling by motorcycle, or car when I'm with people. I enjoy travel more than destination in many ways. "Summer Vacation" was ruined for the Griswold's because it was about destination, not travel. Not that I ever had even thought about "What I learned from watching 'Summer Vacation'".
Wyoming is beautiful too. If you stay only on I-80 it's like you're on the moon, and if you're like me (which you aren't since you don't seem to like traveling), stay off the interstates and it's green and hilly depending on the time of the year. I've traveled across the US about a dozen times and my favorite experiences weren't on the interstates. But it depends on families, who you're traveling with, moods and destinations. I can't ride/drive to Australia.
When I'm in the US, I prefer to drive, ride or take the train. I'll fly if I have to, but I don't like going through TSA. I'm not a picky traveler. I'll eat whatever and sit wherever but just the general tone of foreign airlines is much nicer. Metal knives and forks (that TSA wouldn't let you bring anyway). Staff that doesn't seem as dickish, often actually polite! I like tilting at windmills and one of them is US based airlines. I see spending the extra $70 as well worth it.
I stopped flying US based airlines unless I don't have a choice. I'd rather spend the extra $20 for the much higher level of treatment. I've never paid for a drink, headphones, snacks or meals. Domestic or overseas.
Nervous, eh? They must've been hiding something! You should've stoned them. I bought a newspaper today because of the headline, "Women protected from laborious jobs". It says they aren't allowed to make coal from fossils. I think they have to skip coal and go straight into making diamonds.
I was just there for work from Saudi Arabia. Your experience is completely different from what happened with me and my co-workers. One guy was robbed at knife point in a tourist market in the daytime. Police offering hash. Tanks in the street. I guess if we stayed at the Hilton it would've been different.
I don't think it'll become like Saudi. I don't think anywhere could become like Saudi.
I've hit the crosswalk light several times on a motorcycle. I've also ran lights when it's safe.
In Nepal, people in the roundabout have to stop for incoming traffic which makes zero sense. As a typical American, when I first saw a roundabout I said "fuck this shit" and then I quickly realized they kick ass on the American Method.
If you have a motorcycle, sometimes putting the kickstand down works.
Let me check my 300 baud modem to see if you're correct. No, it says I've been here since 1987 (a slow comer I know, but the ladies love it). Start a fake FB acct and start mislabeling your face. See how long it takes before FB "corrects" your suggestions.
An up-to-date facial recognition system is amazing. A half-assed mislabeling on FB doesn't add up.

If so, there'd be a remake of "Citizen Kane" built around Murdoch's life.

I think you underestimate the people that look for facebook by typing facebook into the google thingy.
It's only theoretically possible. It got a lot harder after 9/11. I've looked into it.

One of the benefits about FB is that everyone is on your white list. I'd still rather get email than FB email so I can keep them for future reference.
Friends tag your face with your name. Only since you're not a member, you can't untag it.
If you're looking for possibilities of mistakes on a short post, yes. It's quit likely that a meteorite will hit your rebel thug.
I never said only women. Men can get sterilized just as well. Now we'll have rebel thug women raping and plundering.
If you're daughter/son is going to get a metric shit ton of money if s/he doesn't have kids, you're going to make sure they're safe growing up.
