Start by not using fax, unencrypted email, or ordinary phone-calls.
Of course, GCHQ can probably still just demand information, but at least you know about it in that case.
Burner phones? Hard to tap a moving target, and there wouldn't be any way to get the content of the phone call, unless the telecos are preserving all phone audio. Best case, they'd have metadata.
I take my watch off at the end of the day. I put it on in the morning. How big a difference is it to set it "on a charger on my nightstand", instead of just "on my nightstand?"
People who are opposed to homosexuals are often Christians who quote heavily from the fire and brimstone passages of the Old Testament. If they have read their Bible (most don't), the New Testament replaced the Old Testament and Jesus commands us to love our neighbors.
Jesus also condemned sexual immorality, which under Judaism would have included homosexuality. A quick search finds this.
Matthew 15:16-20:
16 "Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. 17 "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts--murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them."
If the Pope is (according to the Catholic Church) the infallible representative of God on this earth, then logically now, how can two popes say two different things?
Papal infallibility only pertains to Catholic doctrine, and nothing else. If you asked the Pope what the weather was going to be like next week, and he said it was going to be rainy, but it ended up being sunny, it wouldn't violate papal infallibility.
What if enough people went to Walmart, filled up their carts with stuff, and checked out, then tried to pay with Apple Pay/Google Wallet, and when told that form of payment isn't accepted, they just walk out? It would kind of suck for the cashiers, stock clerks, and other customers behind them, but it this happened several thousand times around the country, the corporate offices would almost certainly take notice.
Which would be fine, but it is a major educational institution with several faculty members who in fact will, at least indirectly, be the targets of these ignorant lunatics.
What the fuck is wrong with the university? What's next, a conference for Holocaust deniers?
Sure, why not? This is a refreshing change when we're seeing other colleges and universities set up "free speech zones". I don't agree with the conference's claims, but as a proud MSU alum, I would be disappointed with MSU if they denied their use of the facilities simply because they find their claims discomforting.
This isn't the sort of thing that "the market" can decide. I expect that it'll end up in court.
Sure it is. Rite Aid & CVS will shortly discover whether or not their customers who use Apple Pay & Google Wallet are more loyal to them than they are to Apple or Google, and make their adjustments accordingly.
all three are relevant research studies. gay marriage is legal in most of America, obesity is a known problem (it's Health), primates are our nearest analogs, and the latter choice might not be your cup of tea, but you'd be surprised what people do.
More relevant than ebola?
face it, you just love Russia and want America weak.
This is why we can't have nice things. The NIH is like a student that blows their student loans on spring break in Cancun, and then complains that they don't have enough money to pay tuition.
The funny thing is it's the cut in NIH funding that means we don't have vaccines...
Of course, they still had plenty of cash ($39.6 million in fact) to study fat lesbians, feces throwing primates and origami condoms among other things.
The BBC reported today: "The Beijing-appointed leader of Hong Kong, Leung Chun-ying, said Monday evening that it was unacceptable to allow his successors to be chosen in open elections, in part because doing so would risk giving poorer residents a dominant voice in politics... he backed Beijingâ(TM)s position that all candidates to succeed him as chief executive, the top post in the city, must be screened by a âoebroadly representativeâ nominating committee appointed by Beijing. That screening, he said, would insulate candidates from popular pressure to create a welfare state, and would allow the city government to follow more business-friendly policies to address economic inequality instead."
Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like communism to me.
It's probably better described as fascism, but there has never been a place on earth where communism in practice resembled communism in theory. It's not possible to ever implement it, because the power hungry use it as a method for personal enrichment. As Lord Acton said "Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."
To do this, Apple would need a new OS, or do some sort of horrible blend between OS X and iOS. That's not happening. I think there will be a bigger iPad at some point, but it will just run iOS. It won't be a convertible.
Macbook Air w/detachable keyboard? Keyboard detaches, and the system switches to Launchpad by default. They'd just need to allow the MacBook air have the ability to run any apps they downloaded from the iOS App Store in OS X. Seems like it would be easy enough to me.
IF they will give me episodes...
1) On their TV release date.
2) Of quality at least as good as cable feeds
3) In a usable non-DRM container which doesn't require a web browser
4) Charge no more than $5 per episode (even that is steep).
Then, HBO will get my five bucks. Otherwise they get zero. It's just that simple and I still suspect people fail at both math and psychology if they can't get this right.
That would not be a very good deal. Comcast charges $10 per month to add HBO, and individual episodes of shows go for $3.99 in HD on Amazon.com & iTunes. Of course, those episodes are are from previous seasons, but $5 per episode makes the $10 you pay for Comcast a deal. I'm thinking they charge $10 a month as well.
A few of you had questions about the 'work/life balance' at this company. I take it that those have been settled?
This is probably a reaction to the "equal pay" hullabaloo going on right now. They want to be able to show that women who stay in the workforce actually do make just as much as men who stay in the workforce. As an added bonus, they can start having babies when they're 45!
<sarcasm>All I know is that if I had a tech company, I would hire nothing BUT women, since I'd be able to pay them $.70 on the dollar compared to men. I wonder why nobody else does this?</sarcasm>
As a normal person I never had use of large bills like that. Even 100 is an annoyance as you have to get it accepted for change somewhere. So in essence nothing of value would be lost. Then the claim that it would be effective at curbing illegal business is not very strong either.
I purchase my latest car with cash. It was $2400. The bank refused to give me $100 because of "the drug war". It would have been a lot more convenient to carry 24 $100 bills instead of 120 $20 bills. But that's o.k., because of the children.
We have Gmail at work, and the spam filtering seems to work reasonably well. We get an occasional spam message to come through, and for some reason, most of the ones that get through are written in Chinese.
Two features that drive me nuts are a lack of sorting by headers, and not being able to set a message priority. Yes, I know you can search by sender, keywords, etc., but that only gets you so far. Sometimes I only have a vague idea of what I'm searching for, and being able to sort by subject would be a big help. Also, I hate the fact that you can't set a message priority for messages like high or low. Gmail sets messages as being "important" based on what Google thinks is important, and that's almost never right.
Camels aren't 'happy' no matter what they are doing or where they are. They are the most mean, cruel and foul tempered ungulates you've ever set eyes on.
I'm more interested in the "churchgoing" thing. It flies in the face of studies that show atheists don't have very different odds of getting divorced, whereas conservative Christians have higher divorce rates.
Maybe because the other studies got it completely wrong. If you divide the Christian population between Nominal Christian (Christian culturally, but not in practice) versus practicing Christians, the rates are really much different, which seems to be something verified in this study.
I continually see people bring up unions in response to someone saying corporate spending should be limited. I don't think I've ever seen someone actually advocate for an exemption for unions from the limitations. So are you saying that you agree with his statement and just want to be clear that unions are included or was it just a partisan "if they go after something I like, I'll target something I think they like"?
No. Just look at this page. Every restriction or permission for corporations is the same as unions. The difference being, unions can take money from their members to spend on campaign issues that their members may not necessarily support.

No, the Republicans stated, day one, they will make him a one term President. Republican NEVER acted in a bi-partisan manner.
Then they nominated the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama as their candidate. :rolleyes:
Didn't Reagan pick up a lot of previously Democrat voters after Carter's dismal time in the White House?
Yes, they even have a special name.
I take my watch off at the end of the day. I put it on in the morning. How big a difference is it to set it "on a charger on my nightstand", instead of just "on my nightstand?"
I guess it really wouldn't be, unless you wanted to use it as a sleep monitor as well.

Not losing money is not the same thing as making money.
Reducing cost == increasing revenue, so in this case it is.
Retailers are not making money from this service.
They don't have to pay credit card companies the 2-3% per transaction charge, so that would seem to make them some money...

Nope. It's identity eminent domain.
Much in the same way regular theft by the government is called civil asset forfeiture...
