Add facebook-like features to XMPP, in combination with a lightweight apache (a bit like Opera Unite). XMPP already supports user profiles, groups, etc (as far as i know). So we’re not far away from it.
It would be free, open, decentralized (important!), still compatible with facebook itself, and you could use your own client.
There shouldn’t be tool that can be made safe enough to withstand an idiot.
There, fixed that for ya. You know: Pull the warning labels off of everything, and let the problem solve itself. It’s natural selection baby! (But somehow that has stopped being “politically correct”.)
You are realizing that you are talking about a group of people who can’t do a business deal without hookers and drugs, are you? ^^ (I know that this is de-facto true because of my old job.)
Some price fixing will be their smallest problem if they get caught.;)
Pff, you obviously never had sex in public places. It’s only thrilling when you can be seen. (But aren’t. It’s the risk that makes it fun. With a cloak there is no risk, so there is no fun. And by the way: For your purposes a tent will do. ^^ Just be sure to keep quiet.
The whole text is based on the arrogant, ignorant and retarded Fermi “paradox”. It is arrogant and ignorant because it states that we don’t see any aliens, so there must be no aliens, so where is everybody?? Which is just as retarded as a blind man going “i don’t see humans, so there must be no humans, so where is everybody??” Or your doc going “There is no cure to this disease.”. When in reality he should say “I don’t know a cure to this disease.”. The arrogance and ignorance of making this type of statement, boggles the mind.
It is a shame that educated people fall for such a Glenn-Beck-worthy “logic”.
If all that it true, doesn't it completely and totally kill the whole "LHC will destroy the world".
You are exactly right. And it’s the failure of every “expert” interviewed who didn’t mention this, and of course of the media hype machine, that that is not well known to everyone. Oh, and of course mostly to the loonies who want to stay ignorant.
and that the most energetic cosmic rays are 10^8 TeV.
To imagine this: Those particles are so fast that they have the mass of an apple or orange. A subatomic particle! This gives you some feeling for the power. And yes, that does mean that they create those tiny black holes all the time in our atmosphere. If this would create black holes, earth would have never existed.
This is meaningless without knowing the number of of actual requests. Which they don’t know. Or else they would have used percentages for the amount of denied requests. So I think this is deliberate.
Basically the gains they'd make over taking ownership of data the hold would cost them too many of their own customer base.
I think they just understand the basic laws of physics: That there is no such thing as “ownership” of data. Either you keep full control over it by not passing it on. In which case you can not even prove its existence. Or you pass it on, and thereby split control with the destination(s). It can not be taken away from whoever got hold of it. Hence it can not be stolen, but only copied.
A leak? Have you worked with transformer oil?? That is about the nastiest stuff you can think of. Imagine you got a mouse on your desk, that is connected to such a computer. Then the oil will slowly travel into the connector, trough the inside of the cable, up to your mouse, and spread as a very thin oily film all over your goddamn desk! Now add dust to it, and you got a really nasty mess. Good luck cleaning that up! At least your mouse, keyboard, display, etc, can go straight to the trash.
And that’s the least of your problems, if you use it on standard components. Since you never know which plastics just dissolve in the oil. Cable insulation, fans, disk drive seals, microchip cases, etc. Until the whole thing goes up in flames. Which is really nasty and hard to put out.
And distilled water is no alternative, since it’s never really 100% distilled. Or really really expensive and still not 100.00% Plus, every other oil that you could use, is just as nasty.
I researched it, because I wanted to do that too. No. Thanks.
Knowing how to let them in does not equal knowing how to stop them. In fact it’s quite the opposite. Like letting a botnet owner install a firewall on your system. Veeery trustworthy.;)
That is education. Which is a preventive technique. But interference in the way you suggest, is what you do when you failed preventive education. If you use it, you are a failure as a parent.
And don’t tell me 16 years olds are not grown up enough in their mind to act reasonable. Because if you ever get out of the happy bubble of your society, you will notice that in countries where life is harder, you can walk up to a 8 year old kid on the street, an he will be able to tell you about the politics of his country and life in general in a more grown up way than any grown up in our so-called first world. Hell, my father told me that in his country it was normal 50 years ago, to marry right when you’re reaching puberty. (Motto: Why lose time? Life is hard and you could die tomorrow. Children are nature’s way to immortality.)
You must realize it’s all founded on a very serious power play of the churches. The idea is to take a beautiful natural thing that everybody loves, and turn it into a sin. So because nobody in his right mind will stop doing it, everybody becomes a sinner. Now you draw horrible fantasy stories about a horrible place that all sinners go to, and that they will be punished. This creates fear. And if everybody is a sinner, you can tell everybody what to do to make the sins OK again. Which conveniently involves obeying “god”. Whose wishes of course also conveniently come from the people who made up that whole sinner concept.
It would just as easy to create the same thing with eating. Or enjoying your life as a whole. And in fact this was done in the monasteries of the dark ages.
I see it as something between a mental disease and social conditioning (most likely a bit of both) on a global level. And a criminal exploitation scheme based on social engineering, to gain power.
As you can see from what they did to the textbooks in Texas, what happened in the dark ages, the inquisitions, and the suicide bombers, it’s a very successful technique.
I hope that at least I can help some people to free themselves from the insanity, and life a better life.

Were they these silvery disks from the last millennium?
I don’t have a player or even a drive for those anymore. Seriously. Does anyone still buy those?

So please keep the MAFIAA FUD down.
Thanks.
Who would you rather have controlling a large chunk of the flow of information on the internet, Google, or Viacom?
Neither nor? As in: Nobody?
Heloooohoo? False dichotomy much?
You couldn’t use rain, since it wouldn’t be clean enough. And any dirtiness would attach to the crystals, until the thing stops working.
Wow, seeing you two “sides” fighting is like seeing a drooling monkey boy retard and a cripple in drag in a wheelchair in a fistfight.
In other words: Hillarious!

You mean that now buying an oveepriced Apple PC is just as idiotic as buying an overprices Windows-running PC?
I think Mr. Tux agrees. ;)
So I can have my identity AND my money stolen, together with everything else!
Wait, let me just quickly forge one of $currentDummyGovernmentLeader. You know... for the nasty stuff. ^^

A friend recommended it to me. It’s called Zebu/Linus or something like that. I forgot. Something with a cow and a penguin... weirdly. ;)

It IS. But apparently everyone buys into those “officials”’ delusional reality, and therefore nobody sues. And when nobody sues, nobody is prosecuted.
It’s the religious schizophrenia abloom.
I think you wrongly assume that religious fundamentalist (which religion really does not matter at all) would be sane in the first place. ^^
In fact, a “fundamentalist” is by definition someone who is not reasonable anymore. Which is something that is required to be called sane.
That is education. Which is a preventive technique.
But interference in the way you suggest, is what you do when you failed preventive education. If you use it, you are a failure as a parent.
