Cats thoughts: Kill the human? No, need food, human bad to eat. Kill the human? No, need catnip. Kill the human? No, need water. DOG. RUN.
According to watching my 2 dogs, dog thoughts are thus:
Squirrel! No, false alarm. Hey, what's that? I need to sniff it. Can I eat it? No. Can I pee on it? No. I'll bark at it! Hey, my humans are home! It's been 10 minutes that seemed like forever I need to sniff them. Hey, what's that? I need to sniff it.
No, we don't. A relatively few honest people with common sense and actual training would trump the massive number of illiterate mouth breathers they have now.
Oh, wait, did I say that out loud?
You are so on a no fly list now.
Mr. Flappinbooger, please step over here... [sound of latex gloves snapping on]
As always, the weakest link in anything security related are humans. This begs the question of whether we really need the TSA
No, we don't. A relatively few honest people with common sense and actual training would trump the massive number of illiterate mouth breathers they have now.
It doesn't seem that hard to start up something like this, I'm half tempted to buy a few servers and start my own small scale hosting site.
The only thing in the privacy policy will just be "This shit is yours. I'm not going to use it in any way"
Can you do better? No really, I'm wondering what it would really cost to DIY.
There are nearly turnkey plans out there where you can resell Amazon S3 storage as a dropbox or carbonite type service. You basically have to do zero except sign up and then market/administer it, no hardware admin necessary.
If someone has a knack for marketing and graphical design and a sliver of tech knowledge, not a bad idea. Of course, at this point you would have to be VERY good to take away marketshare.
The more reasonable avenue I saw was marketing it to your own customers as a value-add to IT or graphical services, etc.
Not sure I'm going to use gdrive yet. or at all, not sure about those terms and conditions.
After all, I have 10+ GB free on dropbox, 6+ gb free on sugarsync, 50 gb free on box.net (when they had a special promo a few months back) and 25 gb free on skydrive (not really using). I think it's neat-o that gdrive exists we've been waiting for it for years.
Seems like it's a little late in the game for one thing and, as has been said, a little "creepy" T+C.
Sure, I have political viewpoints that would probably agree more with the candidate than the incumbent, however deep down inside I know that it truly doesn't matter. There is so much blatantly open evidence that the POTUS is a figurehead for whichever power base installs them in WDC.
I was once talking with someone who was ridiculously spazzing about the current president and it set me off. I said essentially that it doesn't really matter who the POTUS is and they might as well put Nancy Pelosi in there for all the difference it would make, just the color and speed of the handbasket, not the destination. He about had a stroke.
I think the only candidate this time around who would be worth a hill of beans is Ron Paul.
No, I'm not a rabid RP supporter or shill (check my posts and how long I've been on here) I'm just sayin. And notice how he gets no coverage and ridiculously low votes in spite of his actual real popularity with those sick of the BS from WDC.
Anyway. Long story short I agree. The right/left foxnews/cnn rivalry is a distraction away from the actual important issues that get buried underneath the scandal of the week.
I thought a narcotic was more of a CLASS of drugs, for example, from the tubes:
What types of opiates are used during childbirth?
The most frequently used narcotic medications are:
Morphine
Stadol
Fentanyl
Nubain
Demerol
Mrs. Flappinbooger had Nubain both times she gave birth, and they made it clear it was a narcotic, and it was quite effective. Mrs. Flappinbooger was quite loopy at times.
Narcotic does not denote illegal, it is a label that denotes function.
I'll have to ask my dad whatever he did with the old A2+.... Dual 5.25 drives, 80 column card, I think it even had a ram upgrade.
My dad's factory used networked apple ][s for production QC for YEARS, it was really the only cost effective data acquisition at the time. Worked just fine!
Apple ][+ was my first computer too. Learned BASIC on it. DOS BOSS, peek, poke, so on. Played tons of games on it too. I was in grade school.
Then... After a few years, a new one came into the house.... Tandy 1000 with it's fancy pants 10 meg hard drive. Well now, aren't YOU special?
Sigh.
I remember occasionally it would glitch out and I would solve the problem by lifting up the front of the chassis by maybe 2 or 3 inches and let it fall down onto the desk. Worked like a charm. My dad disagreed, he preferred to reseat the chips properly.
in 2014, anyone will have had a decade for the switch to Vista, and 5 years for win7. If I was concerned about security support form MS, I wouldn't complain about being able to use a decade+ old OS (let alone 13 years old when support ends) in the modern wild.
TL;DR: Need better stories/.
Seriously, there WILL be millions still with XP in 2014. It will be a free-for-all for at least 6 months and it will be on "the news".
Until the typical user doesn't think his browser is "windows" and swear they "just bought the thing, how can I need a new one" when it plainly says Packard Bell on the front, don't assume this is not going to be a problem.
I've served my time, the foot pedal / cup holder jokes are only funny until you meet the user they are based on.
I guess it could be constructed as a discrimination against militant non-smokers and meat loaf haters, but hey, they didn't ask any forbidden questions.
Probably just previously had to deal with ultra-mega-whiners who constantly complained about those things and didn't want to waste time on recruiting MORE ultra-mega-whiners. People can learn skills OTJ or go to training. I've found employers are just as much or MORE concerned that the people just plain GET ALONG.
If you have a technical services business, giving people a card is useful, especially if it is a uniquely styled card that is memorable.
I've had customers tack it to a bulletin board, set it in the lap drawer of their desk, etc, and then if they need my services - "where was that card, I need to call Flappinbooger!... oh, here it is! THAT's his card!" and then bam, more business for me.
A milquetoast cookie cutter generic corporate drone business card is nearly just a formality now, more of a badge or indication that "yes, we will keep you for the time being and we will signify that by taking the time to order you a $30 box of rectangular card stock with some contact information on it"
I would legalize pot and severely curtail the war on drugs. This massive for-profit prison system is out of hand. Once it became profitable for private companies to keep incarceration up - things have gotten turned upside down.
gets into what I'm talking about. The massive incarceration rate is resulting in essentially slave labor. Look it up, find out for yourselves how many Govt organizations and companies use prison labor exclusively.
I won't care about the contents, would wipe the phone clean, and change the IMEI, then it's a brand new phone for me. (most likely what happened to the 2 unaccounted for)
Should be easy to find the owner of the phone by looking in the contacts. Most have an emergency contact or "I am the owner" contact. As much as we rely on and put in our phones now it would be pretty crappy to at least not TRY to get the phone back to the owner.
If it's locked with an incomprehensible unlock scheme and has no indication of who owns it (a label or sticker of some kind) and there is no lost and found system at the venue where it was found... That's getting into the finders keepers realm. The person wanted their phone to be inaccessible if lost and they accomplished their goal - their data is safe at the expense of the phone.
That is a pretty common time for cooling down to liquid nitrogen or superconducting temperatures.
So, they turn it on once and never turn it off again. No problemo! Always ready. Take a sharpie to the power button "Do not flip this switch!" and you're GTG.
Seems efficient enough for a typical military operation...
I wouldn't be surprised if Anon is totally an FBI (or other agency) front. Like a honeypot. Wannabe hackers get all googly eyed about some super-secret hacker organisation - oooh, I wanna be a rebel too!
So they go online looking for Anonymous and posting stuff everywhere they can "Teach me to be a leet hacker" or "How do I join anon? I know how to run a script!" and so on.
Eventually they stumble upon the honeypot of the week and the agent says "ok, dude, here's your target!" and the idiot breaks into something and gets busted.
Or, I'm totally wrong and anonymous is real.
So, ummm, where do I sign up? I know how to run a script!
Slashdot Mirror
I don't like IE, but not supporting it is still just plain fucking stupid as you a) throw away a sizeable portion of potential customers,
Maybe they just don't want to cater to the likes of people WHO USE IE.....
"Psst, hey Fred, he looks like an IE user..." "Hey, fella, we don't like yer kind 'round these parts!"
Not opera! I actually USE THAT! Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!
Seriously, Opera is the one good mobile browser out there.... I even tried Dolphin HD!
Stay off, Facebook, don't Zuck my phone!
Private corporations are not law enforcement officers.
Pretty sure Apple "security officers" thought differently when a prototype was "lost" accidentally.

Wash, rinse, repeat.
This is advertising. It is also a lie. That's fraud, plain and simple.
What if I post my dropbox referral code? I don't get anything but free space.
Ahem - hey, I like dropbox, check it out! http://db.tt/hfwPL1N Sign up with that code and you get 500 megs free too!
lol. It's funny because it's true.
No, we don't. A relatively few honest people with common sense and actual training would trump the massive number of illiterate mouth breathers they have now. Oh, wait, did I say that out loud?

The toilets were exploding because they flushed a few stacks of money too much for the old plumbing to handle.
Last I heard LSD was a hallucinogen...

Yeah, and for the same reasons their e-mail service never caught on.
Or their calendar, their docs, their OS, their phones, or their social med... nevermind, got carried away there.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Narrow slits, an industrial press...
so if the splatter pattern has "waves" it will indicate correlation with the WPD of matter?
Sooooo.... what would it take to get truecrypt to put out a custom android rom?
TC doesn't have any backdoors, does it? I mean, being open source and all.
