Seriously? You don't think Microsoft (creator of Bing) and Apple (creator if iWorldDomination) can search through and make money off your information. Oh how naive.
Maybe they can but they have no talent at it. Search is core business to google.
Anyway Microsoft never created Bing, they brought it. And they only did that as a stick to beat google with.
Three of my websites are.com. I am located in the USA. Should I not trust my files to myself?
No. Not when your government can take your domain name at will, compel you to hand over all files, compel you to unencrypt everything that's encrypted even if you don't know the key, and place restrictions on where you can send your own data.
Draconian punishments are common to most systems including democracy.
Islam doesn't discriminate based on ethnic background, nor does communism.
Communism has no discrimination based on gender. Communism doesn't care about your sexuality.
All systems treat 'Not one of us' as a subhuman with less or no rights. If not why does the US government maintain one set of rights for citizens and a lot less for non-citizens. Not that I'm saying the US is alone in doing this, it's clearly not.
I'll take this opportunity to state again, publicly, that I have multiple encrypted disks, partitions and files to which I no longer know the password.
Then zero them as it can get really nasty when the feds demand the password.
2.... But they can't prove either that you didn't forget it. Fuck it was a long password and the Masked grunts startled it out of my Head. Justice works based on PROOF not on beliefs. No proof No crime.
Not any more. You prove your innocence or you are a goddam dirty terrorist.
I encrypt hd's so in the event of lost or stolen drives i know they are fairly safe.... If i had to decrypt for the cops I have no problem with the actual content... If i did well than.. http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=hidden-volume
That doesn't work either. If you have unpartitioned space on your disk filled with random data then they may assume it's a hidden encrypted volume and instruct you to give them the passphrase. If it's not a hidden encrypted volume you will be unable to do that so will be jailed forever.
..when I tell the judge that I got my passkey from 10 online password generators --- and I gave them all the 10 urls - hey, I am not hiding anything from them and the onus is for them to figure out the randomness of the 10 password generators and to reconstruct the passkey from whatever they can come up with
No, the judge will tell you to give him the passphrase or you will be jailed until you do. The fact you can't isn't an excuse because you can't prove that you don't know it.
Innocent until proven guilty is a thing from a different age.
C. If they still insist that I lie, then, they have to proof that I lie.
I don't know where you have been the last few years but that's no longer the way things work. The US government has been abducting people from all over the world and torturing them on the slimmest suspicion of guilt. Suspects no longer get to see the evidence against them, not do they get any form of 'due process.'
If you can't prove your innocence you are guilty. If you can prove your innocence they don't have to listen and can assume you are guilty anyway.
Bullshit. It is illegal to deny that the Holocaust happened. It is perfectly legal to criticize the jewish faith. Two very different things.
I never saw the Holocaust, and I'm guessing you didn't either. I have no reason to believe it didn't happen, but if someone thinks they have evidence that it didn't happen why should it be illegal for him to speak his mind?
It might be considered odd to contradict public opinion by suggesting that any given event did or did not happen. That should not make it illegal. After all history is often written by highly biased people.
Terrorists are people. People use internet cafe's. Therefore just shoot everyone who goes to internet cafe's and be done with it.
The US government backlash against so-called terrorism is to create a state where everyone lives in a constant state of terror. The terrorists won but at least that can be used to justify a few more wars and spead the message of terorism worldwide.
When did 'Land of the free' become 'Land of living in fear of the US government' ?
I think the OP was saying it's possible to google for just about anything windows related and get useful information on what part of the registry you should change and what that change does. He was not saying the windows registry was a good thing, just that it's not too hard to get information on it.
Sadly a lot of this information doesn't come from Microsoft themselves but it's useful reference all the same.
Apple products are fun toys, but not for serious work unless that work can be done though a web interface or with office 200x. The walled garden approach means these things can't be adapted to my users needs, and that's a show stopper.
Windows sucks so bad I'd love to use something else but that something else isn't mac. All my technical users have Linux workstations, they love having an OS they can script on.
If any of the above is true, get yourself some cold feet and send out the cancellation notices, right now. Marriage is for adults, the above is childish nonsense. Lots of childish people get married, see: Divorce statistics.
Either you have never been in a relationship with a real live woman, or you are in a relationship with some kind of mythical perfect woman creature.
Can anyone recommend a new slashdot-type site, hopefully one run by individuals (like slashdot used to be in the CmdrTaco and Hemos days), and dealing with tech, rather than social media froth and global warming bullshit?
I've been on this site since before my 100k level account was registered and have a special place in my heart for it, but looking at the homepage, 8/10 of the stories are shite I don't care about. Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't think that's it.
I miss the trolls.. GNAA, Trollaxor, OOG THE CAVEMAN...
These days, all you can hope for is the odd story about something interesting, with ernest or intentionally-funny comments. None of the pizzaz of the olde days.
The mark of a true currency is that it can be used to pay U.S tax liabilities
Not everyone likes paying tax. Quite a lot of people consider tax theft, and would quite like some form of currency that the government doesn't take a cut of every time they use it.
So you changed job from one thing to a highly related thing. Great, but why tell us about it?
You totally lost it on '...evolving toward becoming Enterprise Architects', Seems you have been hanging around the buzzword management types for far too long.
Note the key words, "Google Kenya" - this is a branch office where some employee is taking a shortcut. This is hardly a condemnation of Google as a company unless and until it's demonstrated that this is either more than an isolated incident or was based on instructions received from corporate overlords.
But was it really Google or was it someone else pretending to be Google?
I suspect this was just a scammer abusing google's good name to sell domain names or whatever.

Google, Apple, Microsoft - they all are doing the same thing. Why get paranoid over one more than the others?
Because only one of those three is actually capable of searching though large quantites of data and making money off it.
Your examples suck.

Better fill all unpartitioned space with zeros.

I don't think you know anything about Islam, Communism, or history.

How about you get a professional printer to print the invites with a nice font on high quality paper.
Then your mom might think you have reformed instead of wondering what the hell is wrong with you.

Fire away.

Where do you live? I'm guessing it's America somewhere but the prices you quoted look too high. Are you in the center of a city?
1) It uses X-rays
2) The device is controlled by a PC running a Java app
3) It was put together by freelancers
Posting AC because NDA
Does no-one else really get the -OH-MY-GOD!- factor in this?
This system is going to cause innocent people to suffer a slow, prolonged, and painful death for no improvement in security.
America has already become a fascist country. Do something about it.
Since they're only following orders.
The worst crimes in the history of humanity were carried out by people who were just following orders.
People following orders are still morally culpable for their acts.

"They had wanted to build the board in the UK but it turns out to be uneconomic."
No, really?
Doing a good job is a vital step. If you don't do that you don't deserve to progress.
Companies want people that do a good job, not people that do as little as they can get away with.
