produce that the current generation needs protection from that which makes us stronger and better adjusted?
If it weren't for being harassed, made fun of, and being generally dragged through the mud I'm not sure I would have ever toughened up and become so well adjusted. It's like they want to make sure the next generation is even worse crop of spineless jellyfish than the current.
True - those people are the biggest employers, we want them to make more, the more easily they make money the more people they employ. It's not until you hit another level it's no longer true.
It's not until you're making double digit millions that you really start buying loopholes. Some of the single digit guys can take advantage of the loopholes bought by others (assuming names aren't named in the line-item law).
Nah, you're just a progressive with a vein of hate going for people who have more than you so of course you want a law to reflect your feelings.
Say what you will - but on stage before a debate Donald Trump admitted he had given most the people on that stage lots of money for political purposes to get what he wanted.
Do I need to take off my tin-foil hat, or does the rest of the world need to remove the cotton from their ears?
There's already a spot on tax forms to contribute more if you like. The Rockefeller's in particular, and the Disney family is in bed with them don't actually want their taxes raised, because they can silently raise them all by themselves with that one little blank on the tax form and send in all they want. (we'll ignore the fact many of them have bought personal loopholes that eliminate or greatly reduce their taxes for now) They want to hinder the nouveau riche from reaching their level and to install multiple levels of glass ceilings to keep people from breaking into the next bracket and becoming competition.
If you've got someone else who's got a lot of money - even if it's not as much as you have - the price of bribing your favorite politician goes up.
The motive here isn't to help those of use struggling to make it, it's to make sure more people are struggling.
I've got the Kindle Keyboard (third gen) - still my favorite model, I'll install if it prompts me - or if it quits working. My wife's first gen Paper-White - I'll leave that in her hands. My daughters cheap I believe fifth gen - I'm not sure she's been able to locate it for the past year. I've told her to tell me if she loses it so I can boot it from the account for financial security reasons, but that would require admitting she lost it so she would be happier if I weren't able to pay rent because they got in through her Kindle.
Yep, I keep getting notices.... I'll check the mailbox for the post card today....
The Chumby can be thought of as a primitive ancestor of the Raspberry Pi. There's internal storage on an SD card, it can boot to USB, all sorts of stuff, it was ahead of its time. I'm really surprised it didn't get a bigger following than it had, it really was an awesome little unit.
I believe my wife is personally responsible for a Dash update. My Dash actually got a Firmware update a little over a month ago - which surprised the shit out of me considering I pretty much knew it was running on life support. In fact I kept an eye on my Abe Vigoda status - it declared him alive even while in dead state and unlike to achieve alive again.
As for the update - I don't really believe in streaming music. Yes, I'm one of those weirdo's who has a huge CD collection, I buy CD's, rip and compress them to OGG and rarely stream music, and that being said I have a huge video library also.
My wife does not have this particular way of looking at the world, around November or so she saw the Pandora app on while I was messing with my Dash and got all excited. "I didn't know that was on there!" She's been streaming for many hours each day while I'm at work, somewhere between four and ten hours a day I'm guessing. She loved the Dash because it didn't have the "We don't like playing to an empty room" thing going on. Guess what was the only change I could find after the recent firmware update?
As for my Chumby One - when Chumby quit working some recent years back I found Chumby offline firmware, downloaded the apps I liked from the Sony Dash site, FTPed them over to my Chumby and that was working until the power supply quit. I still need to get a new supply.
The chassis I got was not a cheap solution, no. There's a huge price-gap between the single card chassis and the three. The single card here is only $220 (it's marketed as a dual but one slot is perma-Thunderbolt card). Don't think I didn't consider getting multiple single card boxes and just chaining them together. It actually would have cost less up front, but I would have had to get more cables - which are insanely expensive - worry about having more power, and worry about keeping it all plugged in when many users (not this guy in particular) take it upon themselves to do stupid stuff with equipment they know nothing about.
No, move to a box like this and it gets into the reasonably affordable range.
My biggest issue is Thunderbolt is relatively rare.
One of my users was on a big gray Mac Pro, with a fiber card to access the SAN and an AJA card that puts video on the preview/client preview monitors - it's a video card, but a really strange one that acts more as a codec than a traditional video card.
When that machine became a crash-fest I moved him over to a newer Mac Pro trashcan. That fiber card and AJA card can't be put in the trashcan as it lacks PCIe slots. So I got this Magma Thunderbolt PCIe housing. That AJA card working in there beautifully. I doubt the Quadro Pro from his old system would work in that thing (it might - I may have to experiment one day) but I have little doubt a budget GeForce card would work in there.
I could totally plug my ThinkPad W540 into that box and just about any of the newer Macbooks in the building accomplishing what this article is all about.
Still - intentional and standardized would be nice. Especially with all these Mac people in my building - it would be nice to have GPU's in the Thunderbolt monitors we have floating around - it could save us money when buying laptops if we didn't have to worry about which laptop went to who as long as the monitor was able to handle the job.
"Missed their chance" - yeah right. The mainstream news is spreading this bullshit bad enough - do we really want Slashdot treating us like a bunch of naval-gazing know-nothings?
I'm sure he would do that, propose that to him and the FBI - use an "Escrow" phone of the same model with some target data on it placed and encrypted by a third party - not McAfee or any government agency. If he succeeds then let him at it.
A forum full of geeks knows it's not that hard to break into an iPhone and this is nothing but a political maneuver.
I've stated before John McAffee is calling out the obviousness of the situation, but just like all the other political stuff that creeps across the site the modern Slashdot feels the need to prop up the political agenda despite the obvious answers staring us right in the face.
You would think traffic backing up at crossing 1, then 2, then 3, would give it an idea that crossing 4 would soon backup based on some sort of distance per minute algorithm bit NO!
Bullets I can forgive, they travel faster than freight trains....
Sports are mostly being used as a way to get the people to group and divide into more easily controlled segments anyways. I don't watch them. I like playing them occasionally (it's been years) but I don't watch them on TV.
When I was in the first and second grad there were projections of moving the nations capital to Houston and that Mexico was going to be upset about all the illegals fleeing into their country due to the icecaps migrating south.
I'm a Libertarian completely against electing Bernie Sanders to anything because I think his fixes are the worst kinds of cures.
That being said his observations are usually pretty accurate. There really are problems caused by what he points out as wrong, his solutions are mostly to double down on the bad part of the problem.
This was the plan all along. John McAfee was the only really unexpected thing from the narrative. Taking him up on his offer clears Apple, gets the government what they want, and no legislation has to happen, but they're not going to McAfee up on his offer.
I've thought about this - I was actually a MythTV early adopter back when I was using an NTSC card, but there isn't much on over the air I want to see. Suppose Agents of Shield, Super Girl, and the occasional mini-series, but I've found I'm happier waiting for the no commercials version. Still, I've got my Kodi system setup in a gen 1 Intel Mac Pro, I could easily slap a card in and do the MythTV combo setup without it being too difficult. Just having a hard time convincing myself to mess with "real TV" again.

I'm certainly thinking cotton.

My work day was too long to get THIS article on that screen but my Chuck Norris Facts and Confucius Say still plays.
The first thing I thought when I read that was "I didn't know Google owned a sports team" - thought it was a WNBA team or something.

IT'S A TRAP!
seriously, it's like saying "Hey, I'm a dangerous person, I'm totally the guy you need to watch!"

I'm with you. Now I know why pipedot.org formed. Too bad it's not as big yet.
Wow, anonymous left-wing piece using stats that don't exclude suicides and skew the numbers with a weird number of years. Yeah!
To answer the question at the top of the article BTW:
Both.
Sports are mostly being used as a way to get the people to group and divide into more easily controlled segments anyways. I don't watch them. I like playing them occasionally (it's been years) but I don't watch them on TV.
and need safe spaces....
the FBI has what it needs to unlock this phone any time it wants.
It just wants to make a big deal out of it to justify legislation.
When I was in the first and second grad there were projections of moving the nations capital to Houston and that Mexico was going to be upset about all the illegals fleeing into their country due to the icecaps migrating south.
It was the early 80's.

Nope, they're just going to stick to the original plan and push legislation. Now that justice Scalia is conveniently dead you don't have to worry about the supreme court blocking it.
