I wouldn't call this any kind of breach of privacy as none of the information is personal. An account name can only be matched to a real name by Blizzard and only if you play on their servers.
Or you have a dump the hackers made of their client list, which contained screen names as well as other info. They could then use this hacked info to get to any of the other data, especially by someone who posted a screen capture online. Using the leaked DB could tie that screen capture to MUCH more data.
With all the government scrutiny over the FB IPO, perhaps they traded the data collected by their iPhone app, even if this was obtained from a government computer? Possibly some similar scenario with a different company? These IDs could have come from anywhere, any app. Maybe AT&T?
Gary Johnston: We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!
I know the admins are busy people, but perhaps explaining what Demonoid is and why they'd want to shut it down would be useful. Not everyone knows every website on the internet and their purpose.
Fry's Electronics had a 23" IPS Asus display for $270 (granted it is ONLY 1920 x 1080, but it has a fab 5ms GTG response rate). I got the last one they had in the store. I wasn't sure how much of an improvement it would be, but as someone who sits in front of a screen all day for my job, it sure is a nice improvement. The 3D support built-in with polarized glasses is a bonus.
So.. my only point is you don't necessarily need to go through some nefarious eBay listing if you look hard enough for deals, and support your local economy more than sending money through PayScam and the like...
Marty McFly: Whoa. This is heavy. Dr. Emmett Brown: There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
When this blows up in everyone's faces in a couple of presidencies (you know, after insurance premiums shoot through the roof and price fixing is commonplace), don't say I didn't say I told you so.
You must not have been paying attention over the last 10 years, but that's what they have done anyway with or without this legislation. At least now someone outside the insurance industry can step in and prevent it from happening. If you think the insurance industry isn't already colluding with itself on prices, etc, you either aren't very observant or work for an insurance company.
You know there are male specific things too? Like prostate exams? Just because you don't have a vagina doesn't mean you need to exclude services that don't apply to you. It works both ways - females pay for the things that apply to guys, guys pay the things that only apply to females. Since the country is about 50/50 M/F, I'd say it works out... so get over your Republican approved sexism.
Really? Then how did computers ever make it beyond the server room? Just because you don't value a computer you can't take with you, doesn't mean they aren't useful. Google's search engine runs on computers I don't have with me, and they are somewhat useful.
Yes, the tea bagger way of "fixing things" is to prevent women from voting and control the personal aspects of everyone's lives to make sure everyone believes the same thing as them.
But at no point have remarks approached those made in a recent sermon by Rev. Peterson, a champion of the Tea Party movement, who declared:
"I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should've never turned this over to women. And these women voting are the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil who agree with them, who're gonna take us down this pathway of destruction.
"And this probably was the reason they didn't allow women to vote when men were men. Because men in the old days understood the nature of women. They were not afraid to deal with it."
What is the expected latency of this new RAM? I've noticed that as the RAM technology has progressed, it has favored pure throughput to latency, but this is not always ideal. Is DDR4 going to help with this, or is this yet another advance that comes at the expense of added lag? Just curious on this. I didn't think RAM bandwidth was a problem, but latency could starve these current ultra-fast processors.
Of all the things for them to freak out about, a robotic looking thing attached to a cell phone on an airplane might be something genuine. I know if I saw it, without any context of where it came from, I would not feel very comfortable around it. I hate the TSA, and think that the security theater is ridiculous, but this one I think I'll let slide...
If you want to make alien kung-fucking-fu turtles, fine. Just don't call it something it isn't, you filthy fucking hack. Thanks for raping my childhood. Between Bumblebee peeing on a man, to this, I'd really like a way to sanction Bay's no-talent ass. FFS!
I'd even take a "burst" anywhere near that. I would never expect sustained speeds like that. About the fastest "burst" I've seen in the mobile world is about 25Mbit/sec. That is only 1/4 what 4G should be able to do while moving.
In 2009, the ITU-R organization specified the IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced) requirements for 4G standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).
So... who is getting between 100Mbit/sec and 1Gbit/sec? Anyone? Anyone?
If there are NO parties, this problem goes away... once they are in with their peers, there are no labels to side with - only rational thought and discussion without bringing in political baggage.
I'd say the discussion part can be done, but in an open forum, possibly in the district the politician represents. Certainly never behind closed doors, and anyone accepting money, goods, or services should be impeached.
I'd argue you are throwing your vote away if you DO vote for one of the two major parties. They are both so rigid in their hatred of each other, you can already determine the outcome of votes depending on which party introduced it. There is no rational thought any more.
The two party system has to go. It only fosters a "you're with us or against us" mentality that doesn't get anything done. Get rid of political parties, make lobbying illegal, and one more thing.
Make all politicians write summary documents about any bills they vote for. If they can't summarize it like any child does in reading class, they should NOT be able to vote on it. It also provides an audit trail into their dumb thoughts at the time.
Seriously, you are reporting on stock market events from two days ago. Surely there was a story posted way earlier about these events?
Ok, besides the untimeliness of this posting, I am thinking that 800,000 subscribers are just the number that left entirely. I bet there are a HUGE number that like myself simply switched from both streaming and BluRay/DVD to just one or the other. I bet that has to hurt a bit too... and they won't report those numbers. I bet they would have to if they split the company though. Keeping it all under the Netflix name allows them to obfuscate their numbers a bit...

The only thing some of those pictures were missing was the "whomp... whomp... whomp..." noise from the WOPR machine in WarGames. Nice.

The US doesn't use the metric system, therefore it is full of liars. :)
