(1) If you don't want to pay for an anti-virus program, or even if you do, immediately delete, destroy and cleanse with fire all pre-installed 'security' software. After you have finished that, use an angle grinder to finish the job, as this stuff can be particularly difficult to remove.
(2) Save files to a folder that is automatically mirrored to the cloud, for effortless access by law enforcement and law violation agencies. Be sure to include all of your account names and passwords in a file called "yellow-sticky-note-on-the-monitor.txt" for the convenience of everyone who trawls through your gooskybox.
(3) Create a non-administrator account, in case you want to use your computer without blowing it up. The convenience of not having to authorize system changes isn't worth the damage you could do.
(4) Be aware of your computer's System Restore option as a way of fixing mysterious problems that arose when you ignored rule three. If you ignored rule one I can't help you, you're on your own.

Statement. You've been playing too much Starbound.
Translation: Two per cent probability that the miniature organic is simply looking for trouble and needs to be blasted. That may be wishful thinking on my part, master.
Older people also know that the correct response to "It's crunch time so I'm gonna need you to go ahead and stay until eleven PM, and then go ahead and come in on Saturday and Sunday too, kay" is "Go stick your head in a pig"
That's why you don't see as many of them working for the more, um, "notable" employers.
burglars can then utilize some pretty sophisticated, yet surprisingly inexpensive and easy-to-use anti-facial-recognition technology when they get close...which by the way, are NOT suspicious in public, at all, in many parts of the world for months at a time each year (it's -20F/-29C outside as i type this)
We also don't permit any photographs be taken of students, nor do we allow even the use of cameras on site except for those students on photography courses, on the grounds that taking a photo of a child could be seen as preparing for sexual abuse.
In any case, even if you opt out, how will you know your mug won't be tracked anyway? Do you believe in corporate morals? Who's the overseeing body? The government? Do you believe in government morals?
No politician that already has any real power is going to want to reign in the NSA.
That word may not mean what you think it means.
reign (v) reigned, reigning, reigns
intr.v.
1. To exercise sovereign power.

3. To be predominant or prevalent: Panic reigned as the fire spread.

2. To fall like rain: Praise rained down on the composer.

2. To give abundantly; shower: rain gifts; rain curses upon their heads.

2. To restrain or control.
v.intr.

draw in the reins -- To slow down or stop by or as if by pressure on the reins.
give free/full rein to -- To release from restraints; allow to go unchecked: gave rein to her emotions.
tight rein
Close control: kept expenses on a tight rein.
So... are politicians with power afraid of acting as monarch within the NSA, falling on the NSA like condensed water vapour, or applying pressure to stop or control the NSA?
My guess is they didn't choose Genesis chapter 3 for the reading either, about how Man shouldn't eat from the forbidden tree of knowledge, lest he realize he's naked.
NASA felt that telling everybody that the crew of Apollo 8 spent the entire mission naked might be bad for the public image of the space program.
How exactly does someone think a O(2â) algorithm is OK to check in?
It's magic. Repeat these magic words after me:
"It's just a temporary fix. We will replace it with something better after we meet the next deadline."
Keep saying that until you are reassigned to a different team or "decide to pursue interests outside of the company", and then it changes from a temporary fix to a permanent and immutable bit of legacy code.
Well, _mine_ has arrows marked on it to show the correct direction of data flow. Chances are that your cable is hooked up backwards and you're losing fidelity in your PowerPoint slides.
Slashdot Mirror
People who aren't into sensationalism call this an Alberta clipper. It happens every year.
And people in Alberta call it "Late Autumn", and just wait for the next Chinook.
Where do you get the images?
From Microsoft.
Or better yet, an etch-a-sketch.
Pro-Tip - don't be a condescending asshole.
But then who would make slashdot posts?

And by 2018 they will eliminate the last four.

camera's [sic] are everywhere already.
So are apostrophes, but that doesn't make it right.

And if it's too warm for a ski mask, there's always lemon juice.
No true Scotsman would move the goalposts.

Well, it's a good thing you don't live in --
Yes, I live in the UK.
Oh. That's the country where there is one surveillance camera for every eleven people.
The country where everyone is a pedophile
Well that would explain why "everyone" puts so many cameras in schools.
In any case, even if you opt out, how will you know your mug won't be tracked anyway? Do you believe in corporate morals? Who's the overseeing body? The government? Do you believe in government morals?
Don't worry. I'm sure that if you ask nicely, and possibly pay a small fee, they will let you opt out without any problems whatsoever.

And this is Captain Picard's office, not Captain Kirk's.

It's 512M, so don't expect much from it.
AND it's Lenova!
No good. I'm holding out for a genuine Sorny, Panaphonic or Magnetbox.
That's probably because you've never had real syrup.
Here's a tip -- The good stuff isn't made from corn.
So, someone has invented a cheap digital data storage method that will last thousands of years?
No, but someone has invented something cheap that stops working when it gets rained on and can't be repaired when you damage it.
There's a reason tombstones are still big-ass etched stones, and not digital displays, you know.
And there's also a good reason they aren't made of paper.
But you don't see any tigers around, do you?

Perhaps it was just really bright in his office.

"The NSA is only targeting the communications, as opposed to metadata, of less than 60 Americans." - yeah right...
"When I poured gasoline into the anthill and then dropped a match on it, I was only _targeting_ less than 60 of the ants."
