It's a chicken and the egg thing. I bought lots of DRM content for many years. My asshole hurt and I got tired of MPAA and RIAA sperm and my blood dribbling down the backs of my legs so I stopped.
The stuff I get off TPB and KA are topnotch quality. I'd love a chromecast that was Digital Restriction Mangled free. Do I really need another Amazon Firestick wannabe? No. I'm tired of buying crippled hardware. I bought a chromecast when they came out and shortly after I got it they crippled it with an "update." It went in a drawer and resides there still.
The problem starts in the homes and schools of this country. If you want more minorities and women in tech then the interest in this field has to be stimulated early in life. There must be support from the homes and schools for learning and experimenting with science and tech. By the time people have reached hiring age that battle is over. If they don't have the interest or skills then they aren't going to be a resource in the tech industry.
Even my 93 year old aunt knows what Google is and uses it. Hell, how many times do you hear someone say "Google it." Even their damn name is synonymous with the word search.
To hell with that. We tore Iraq apart, got rid of the crazy fuckers running it and now there's a power vacuum there that the madmen running ISIS are determined to fill. If we tear Iran down then ISIS will start trying to run that too. Maybe we could acknowledge the fact that we can't fix a place that's been fucked up since the fall of the Ottoman Empire and stick to just playing one side against the other. North Korea got nukes and we survived that and I guess we'll survive Iran getting them. At least I hope so because we just caved in on them getting their own nukes. It should get interesting with Israel on one side and Iran on the other. A "mini" cold war maybe?
Wahahahahahaha....damn that shit is hilarious. Sadly I have no points but you sure as hell deserve +5 Funny!
Bing was set up on our computers as the default search engine but it only took about a week and now there's not a computer at work that still defaults to bing.
I doubt the Earth will be destroyed by global warming. It might cause great havoc and a massive die off but I suspect the planet will continue to orbit the sun for some time and that life will continue although it might not have it nearly as easy as it is now. As far as how the world ends in the bible, it will be burned up.

The problem with his idea is that the government will spend millions of dollars of taxpayer's money trying to decrypt all the terrorist files on the laptop. It wont come out of their pocket and it provides job security by making it seem like they have something important to do. In short, it's a bad idea.
I live one county over. I can tell you that Bibb desperately needs to spend that money elsewhere. Their schools are sad and the police there are some of the lowest paid in the state. All the places they desperately need money and this is what they come up with. It's typical of Bibb county. A friend of mine I worked with grew up there and moved to Houston county when he was in the 11th grade. He was an A student in Bibb schools and he said he was about a year behind when he moved. He had to work his ass off to catch up.
The Concorde was terribly expensive to operate. I think a comfortable, luxurious type of upscale passenger aircraft for high speed transport can be profitable. I know if I was rich I'd much prefer a fast ride to my chalet in Paris from my New York mansion. Sitting on a slow pig with the unwashed masses behind me in coach is so odious.
The reason people with a clue don't use this kind of method is that it's inefficient. Instead of collecting everything and sifting through it they concentrate on potential problems. That way they can intercept threats before they cause damage. With mass collection of everything they can't possibly know what they're looking for until after an event. Once damage has been done they go to their database and find what happened. Great for forensics but shitty for protection.
But yet it will not hurt his chances of keeping his job any. People care little for their rights, they take them for granted. The electorate has changed greatly in the last 4 decades. Scandals that once destroyed political careers are now shrugged off.

I don't say should, simply that it has that right.

The government reserves that right to itself. Not individuals.
Sounds like a job for Cron.
The thing is, that information is not really privileged info.

Maybe to you it's of no interest but maybe someone else will find it interesting. The guys at Tau Ceti for instance.

Damn! I'm so sorry. I never thought of it like that.

Most people think someone should do something about global warming. The problem is they want someone else to do something.

Once it's fully engulfed the fire department is pretty much limited to making sure none of the neighbors houses catch fire.

Ah well....you can tell I don't own one.

I found the article very redundant. It was redundant too.
Or maybe a lot of government officials will go to jail.
Maybe Pooper Snooper. Has a good ring to it.

If they have nothing to hide it shouldn't be a problem.....should it?
