I'm an expert with systemd. I literally work with it daily. I fix it for other people like you. Sorry, Lennart, but I'm extremely well informed and I still think it's terrible.
I'm not trolling I'm asking... How much physical evidence for quantum entanglement is there? I gotta admit that it does sound like bullshit, but then again I'm sure airplanes would sound like bullshit to the Romans. Wouldn't quantum entanglement also give you instant communications (before it gave super fast CPUs) by altering one entangled bit say in Los Angeles while someone else gets the signal in Cairo? I haven't seen anything to indicate that the idea works at all for any purpose. It's been talked about for years. Quantum Computing is sounding a lot like "Flying Cars" and "Better Batteries". I know both are possible, but I sure don't see evidence that it's gonna happen. Then again, I'm not a Quantum researcher.
Not being Polish, I'll definitely take your word for it. I like Poland and Texas. I don't like people messing with either one, but I only have experience with Texas.
Maybe so. It's a thought at least. That's how a Libertarian would look at it. Pollution is some corporation externalizing costs onto someone else. The former being one of the main thing Libertarians are against. They should be sued out of existence by the people they hurt, but they've rigged the system to prevent that. If that doesn't work, then the 2nd Amendment might be the only recourse. That's why it's there.
Hey, if fusion was a reality today, I'd be cheerleading it, too. However, the truth is economical energy-positive fusion is still a pipe dream. It may be humanity's future, but it's simply not viable yet and we need solutions NOW. Flip over and talk about fission reactors... well, that's a completely different problem. The main problem is one that leftists and preppers should *both* understand - when shit hits the fan the badly designed reactors melt down and explode. The superior designs are safer but much more expensive and thus how can we be sure that corporations won't cut corners? Most of our nuclear power is the "melt down and explode" type in the USA and Japan. The more stable reactors they use in France, for example, mostly aren't approved by the NRC in the USA. Stupid yes, but still true.
You nailed it. It's like any/. story on systemd. You can bet there won't be any mods with leftover points after something like and that the final score of any individual comment will simply be based on which enraged group of partisans had the most mod points at the time when the article was published.
My French friends in the Amiga scene say it's over immigration. They are tired of being inundated with North Africans and Middle Eastern folks and they think Macron just wants to push down wages for the working class using migrants. That definitely worked here in the USA with Mexico and other South American migration. If you watch the leftist media they claim the Yellow Vests are leftists. If you watch right winger media they claim they are all on *their* side. My guess is that it's a reflection of a cross section. Given that the French are politically left of center as a group, they are mostly leftists. However, that partisan shit isn't a good way to look at anything (ask the Greeks). I'd say that the French people just finally got fed up over a whole host of issues.
Lol. The Polish girl's name was one I got from a list online. If there is a misspelling, my apologies to the Zofias of the world. My understanding is that Polish has many non-English letters and must be transliterated rather than translated. Thus, there is no "correct" spelling. It's up to the person doing the transliteration.
Keep tap dancing. US States would argue they are still sovereign, too. How sovereign are EU states when Germany and France can force them to change their budget?
Oh they care... some folks care a lot: The US Chamber of Commerce cares. They want to keep republicrats and democians fighting over a border wall like a bullfighter wants to keep the bull focused on the red cape instead of his crotch. The good folks at The Chamber know that keeps them from debating using E-Verify which would actually work and shut down their free pipeline of cheap labor.
If you are *truly* an environmentalist you wouldn't want to risk further environmental damage from continuing to try and force other people into behaving environmentally responsible. The reason is because this clearly doesn't work. Big government or UN action has mostly failed. The last decent bit of legislation that made any real difference was the Clean Air Act in 1970. It's technology that has the best chance of preventing or mitigating negative effects of climate change. I'm an environmentalist, but I feel like I keep company with a bunch of idiots and facists who can only see one way to fix the problem: forced government coercion. Why not convince folks to switch to greener tech because it's *better*, rather than trying to ram it down their throats as a tax? The latter has a legacy of 40+ years of failure and division. Isn't it time to try something new? Just going by success/failure it appears conservation and green-research would be money and effort much better spent.
Good luck authenticating folks in IT without secrets. That'll go over great at your next security meeting, I'm sure. Maybe they will let you in now that you just passed your CISSP and are obviously another "security expert" with all the proper condescending buzzword bullshit lectures that entails. Suggest they switch corporate authentication to "handshake and a smile" and see how everyone will finally recognize your genius.
Wrong again. I've reset both Android and iPhones. They are easily factory reset. Thus your point is still 100% easy to see bullshit. It's just bullshit with an extra side of frustration as you clearly are angry that you've long since lost the argument.
Do you actually believe your own bullshit here or are you just getting desperate after appearing so foolish and getting stuffed so completely? Seriously? You are going to sell people moving around the fucking *EU* as immigration? Buwahaha. Puhleeese. That's one of the most pathetic arguments I've ever heard. That's like saying the states in the US are "immigrating" as they cross state lines. They are under the *same jurisdiction* for immigration law. Notice I said "dark skinned people from Africa" not "Zophia the Polish laundry girl from the other side of the EU".
I exaggerated, but we all walk past cameras every day and leave our fingerprints all over. Iris scans would only require more resolution (which gets better all the time).
I share your curiosity about the PIN-brute-forcing. I'd be surprised if that hasn't already been tried or is the current state of the art for the cops already.
I also agree with you about the fact that most successful authentication attacks are results of implementation errors or social engineering.
Also consider that cameras gain resolution all the time. Most of us who live in a city walk past multiple cameras in many situations. Humans don't have a very reflective tapetum in their eye, but some light still does get reflected out. A camera of sufficiently high resolution could capture your fingerprints, iris scan, and face with enough detail to reproduce any of the three. The are already good enough that a skilled sculptor could reproduce your face from. Fingerprints get left everywhere you go for anyone with a bit of graphite and a some clear-tape to use. So, I'll grant you that nobody is easily or frequently stealing your iris scan today, but that could change (and probably will) as imaging tech gets better. That's saying nothing about some irresponsible tech company getting hacked and losing an existing iris scan. Ultimately that machine is just scanning a 2D image that can be recreated.
Drug addicts... no. Can people who buy stolen phones reset them? Of course. Did grandma damage your brain with that coat hanger or what? Too bad she didn't finish the job.
Well given that fingerprints and faces are almost trivial to fake easily with items a middle-schooler has access, too, then yeah. I don't doubt that there might also be "one easy trick" to duplicate iris scans, too. Either way it doesn't matter. The point is that you cannot change your biometrics, most can be duplicated easily, and that people tend to under-utilize security. Is it a good thing so that people like you can use it for extra convenience or is it a bad thing that people (surely not yourself - oh never) would use biometric authentication when they should have used something much stronger? Do you argue with your banker that they should use a bicycle lock for their vault because it'd be easier for them to access? Convenience and security are almost always at odds. Your value judgement that convenience is better is just your opinion. The fact that you can't change biometrics is just that - a solid steel fucking fact.
I'm from Texas (born and raised). I grew up in the North of the state where there are tons of small towns which have no college nearby. Most of them move to Amarillo or Lubbock to go to school. Those places are absolutely filled with hot women and I absolutely loved it and too maximum advantage of it. Texas has it's warts. My least favorite thing is their intolerance of freaky people (though my fellow metal-heads are strong in Texas and tend to just beat the shit out of mouthy shit-kicking rednecks for fun, sport, and profit). However, no matter how much a person can hate rednecks or Texas you'd have to be blind or hard-core queer not to notice the beautiful women.
Yeah and try immigrating to any of those countries if you aren't some dark skinned person with a sob-story from Africa or the Middle East. I lived in Norway for a few years and I can tell you that they have super-restrictive immigration laws. For example, you can only change your immigration status if you go back to the country you came from first and do so in the Norwegian consulate *there*. Imagine if we had that policy in the US. The last time Norway opened loosened immigration was in the 1970's when Pakistan and India where kicking the shit out of each other, they got a huge influx of what *they* call "Pakis" and "Yellow People". Yep. Your super-enlightened "socialists" are racists, too. Every time someone was robbed or stabbed it was in the papers and you'd hear speculation in public about which country the perp was from. It was clear to me within days of being there that "Pakis" were the most hated population in the country. Norway only had around 4 million people when I lived there (still similar now); so any little crime was usually a big story. Scandinavia is a very nice place to live, but it's not because it's some kind of liberal paradise. In Norway's case, it's because every year the government makes about $100,000 for every person in the country from North Sea oil revenues. They don't have open borders there, even in a place that has some of the most resources to do so. Also, I notice you didn't really address the OP's reference to Venezuela. After all, their form of Socialism seemed a lot more pure and honest than what they do in France, Netherlands, or Sweden who are all Democratic countries with a lot more capitalism in play versus Venezuela. The question seems like a valid one, to me, but only seems to troll the leftists. *shrug*

Something bad was bound to happen to the folks who came up with the $300 textbook cabal.

Isn't it funny how Linux wants to be come Windows (systemd = svchost.exe) and Windows wants to become Linux.
... but not today. At least the gave some money to the OpenBSD guys, unlike many other greedy corporations.

Nah, it just calls into question if you make a single cogent point that isn't easily deflated in moments or are you just a poorly skilled troll?
