I can decript my data, use browsers to erase cookies, but without spoofing IP addresses, the websites know where I am accessing from and when I access the site. If I would then use a major email (instead of my own email server), then the NSA has their hands on my emails and any cloud stuff I save.

Geek community is stupidfied... we read all the articles about PRISM and you STILL recommend *skype*? WTF. Why not jabber, jinny, linphone, anything else?!
I figure if he's asking this question, he doesn't have a geek badge. So these kind of recommendations may just go over his head... But what do I know.
Leave skype on all evening... Watch movies "together" and talk to each other while watching. Make the same dinners "together."
Storytelling? Open up a google doc and write your own story collaboratively.
If you both like games, then play whatever you like together using teamspeak. My girl and I have played Ultima Online, Everyquest, starwars and Diablo when we were working across the country. What's important is that you communicate and spend "time" together. But something important that no one will mention is this: Trust each other and give each other time alone.
Good luck.
My email server is sitting in my laundry room. I also host some message forums and picture galleries for just my family and friends. It is how I communicate with them.
Only about 1/3 of my family and friends use my server for email.... So any over seas email service is going to have the same limitation as mine. If I email my sister from my server, that email goes to gmail. So now the NSA knows what I sent to my sister.
So unless everyone you communicate with is outside of the US or on a server outside of NSA's reach, it won;t do any good.
Sorry to break it to you, but in the war against terror, the American people have lost.
DuckDuck Go keeps your info from third party advertisers... They are still sleeping with the feds. They jsut do it in a motel down the road and everyone turns a blind eye, while the feds are sleeping with Google and apple in open public.
I use a gmail, so I figure google has tabs on what I email. it is interesting when I send a friend a chapter or short story I am working on and the ads I get after this...
That being said, will the feds come get me if I am sending a short story about an assassination?
A habit that I have gotten into a while back though, so as to not tie my searches in with my gmail, is that I use firefox for gmail and I use Opera in private browsing to search google. After reading this article, I realize that I am probably tracked via IP. This is disheartening.
It's time to invest in an anonymous proxy. I think I am going to start with this article then investigate further.
I traveled via plan; I went through the security checkpoint..
. It was the typical experience that everyone has come to expect. But once it is over, you're free to roam the "Secured" area of the airport. I don;t know how often this happens, but as we were getting ready to board the airplane, Three TSA agents showed up in their hands of blue, (One too many for a good firefly reference.)
Anyway, it was announced that the TSA would be doing random luggage checks as we boarded the plane. I watched what was happening and the "random" checks were that they stopped everyone with a backpack and/or large purse. No one with a regular wheely-carry on luggage was randomly checked. I observed about 30 people board the plane and "predicted which people ahead of me were randomly selected. As my turn to board the plane approached, I stepped in line and said to the agent, "Some back at the regular checkpoint not doing his job and taking a nap?" The TSA guys scowled at me, physically pulled me aside, and went through every article of clothing and compartment of my regular luggage carry-on. At least he attempted to fold everything back and put it in the way it came out.
I should have asked him for a piece of paper saying my luggage was checked by the TSA,
I wonder if they are trying to police up their "faults" by doing even more checks past where we are used to them happening?
Is the American government so oppressive that if you speak the Truth, people assume that the government will kill and/or torture you? The government has to step up and say, "We will not Kill or torture."
Freedom of Speech is only one of the freedoms which is gone. People know it. Yet nothing is being done to bring them back.
Snowden is my hero for saying the Truth. Emerson and Thoreau would be proud. Snowden's name is going to come up when I teach Transcendentalism to this year's students.
That last sentence made me thing of posting AC, but I now have the strength to speak the truth also.
This has been true of all technology in the past and will continue into the future. Just look at film. How many preserved films from 1915 are still around? Just the ones that were recorded into a new format of film, then a newer format of film, then into a VHS, then into a LaserDisc, then a DVD, then a BlueRay... (Metropolis, I am looking at you.)
Within arms reach, I have Floppy drives that contain files created in AMI Pro work processors.... WHen I say Floppy, I am talking about the 5 1/4 inch floppies.
Technology hardware and software is not stagnant... It will always continue to develop and progress (ignore windows 8). Data that is worth keeping will get converted. Data that isn't will get left behind. I would not be surprised that in about 25 years, there will be "classic" software as there is Classic literature...
You are looking to/. readers for platform ideas.. What will you do when you find that our ideas are not popular and cause you to have absolutely no influence as a political party? Will you change your platform to be more popular? You may as well stop now and call yourself Rep. Dem. Right or Left... A real political party should have real convictions.. people will flock to the truth and real beliefs.. not wishy-washy-go-with-the-wind bullet points.
How has your education helped or hindered you? You are the "ideal" educated man. In our (American) culture, we don;t seem to be producing people devoted to learning, discovering, thinking, inventing, etc. What in your opinion can an educational system do to foster what you've become?
Yay! Quake finder is making a comeback. This just makes my day, I've never been a fan of gamespy and find a good old fashioned game of legacy quake I on quakeworld or quakefinder just hasn't been the same. I mean it has been years since...{{rereads the summary}}
Oh. Well. I'll just go in a corner and look for my quake I discs...
I can't get HBO, for various reasons. So I download Game of Thrones. When the DVDs are available, I buy them. Actually. 95% of the things I download I buy... It may be interesting to see how much media I purchase that I haven;t downloded... I am thinking that most of it I've already downloaded.
Damn, We were just getting rid of the American middle class. Now it is off to keep the rest of the world in it's place: Below our corporate regime.

Fist a little background so you can understand a little of my context: I'm a teacher. I've taught in the classroom for 17 years at both the high school level and the college level. I have taught online classes for a Virtual High School. I also use Moodle extensively in my classroom for a blended learning environment. I try to integrate the best of both worlds in my classroom. (I'm lucky enough to work in a district where 80% of the students have internet access at home and plenty of computers available at school for non-net accessible students to use in school.)
Online classes need good instructors to help students past "blocks." It is where good teachers thrive to recognize when a student is learning something in a way that is not quite correct or in partiality. The good teacher can recognize these things and help the student past this educational block. In the "brick and mortar" classroom the teacher has face to face interaction and can see confusion or understanding on students, but a confused student can go unnoticed in the traditional classroom if he or she doesn't give those visual queues and doesn;t ask for assistance. Then the test comes by and it is too late for the student.
In the online classroom the good teacher is right there every step of the way with the student and can see in the work when the student "gets it" and when the student is confused. The teacher doesn't need to rely on an answer to the worst question a teacher can ask in a classroom full of students, "OK, Who doesn;t understand this?" In the online classroom, a well designed curriculum with a good teacher will know if the student gets it or not.
In my years of experience though, I have come across students that are able to figure things out and learn faster than I can teach, students that want to learn anything and everything. These are the students that I learn from as they, through the course of the years, learn more than I have to teach (within the school's limited curriculum.)
These students are wonderful for online classrooms as they tend to be the type of students who "step up" to a challenge and try to figure things out in order to learn. A lot of students in the classroom today just want me to tell them what the answers are. These students will not grow in their education on their own. Gamifying a curriculum can help some of these students.
A lot of teachers are worried about "online schools" as they are afraid that these online classrooms will eliminate the need for teachers. It is the same fear factory workers had with the introduction of robotics. But Teachers will still be needed. Just teachers with different skills.
Movie was called Final Yamato. From the wikipedia article:
Final Yamato
Main article: Final Yamato
Premiering in Japanese theaters on March 19, 1983, Final Yamato reunites the crew one more time to combat the threat of the Denguilu, a militaristic alien civilization that intends to use the water planet, Aquarius, to flood Earth and resettle there (having lost their home planet to a galactic collision). Captain Okita, who was found to be in cryogenic sleep since the first season, returns to command the Yamato and sacrifices himself to stop the Denguili's plan. Susumu and Yuki also get married.
The story is set in the year 2203, contradicting earlier assumptions that its predecessor, Yamato III, took place in 2205. Having a running time of 163 minutes, Final Yamato retains the record of being the longest animated film ever made.

Kinda funny that looking at IMDB, he has credits in World War Z as W.H.O Doctor. As long as he talks slower than Matt Smith, I'll be happy.

All the crowdsourcing in the world won’t rewire the neurons engaged in that kind of thinking.
and this comment about doing things...
Whenever someone tells me something can’t be done, my immediate impulse is to go out there and prove otherwise, just to spite them.
Can Straczynski set out to do it because he said it isn't being done?

Is this the next big reality TV show? In their faq, it is mentioned that a lot of the funding will be through a huge media spectacle.
This is what I need: watching a bunch of people who believe they are on mars; when they will just exist for our entertainment...Truman Show anyone?
