You do know that the majority of terrorist attacks on US soil have been committed by (non-Muslim) Americans, right? You should be glad that someone in our government is doing something right, for once.

A password manager solves most of these problems. You don't have to be an "advanced user" to use one, but since Microsoft hasn't seen fit to include one with their OS, few people have them. Mac OS has come with a password manager since 1999, but that's a much smaller user base. I can't understand why they haven't made it part of iOS.
Oh yeah, I'd love to go back to playing whack-a-mole with advertisers. I can't tell you how grateful I was when someone finally came out with ad-blocking software with regularly updated lists. Thing is, it's much more complicated nowadays, what with beacons, trackers, analytics, evercookies, etc., than when you were blocking banner ads on simple HTML pages. I actually know how to write a regex, unlike the vast majority of mankind, but I sure as hell don't want to spend all my time trying to block all this crap. You might as well tell everybody to develop all their own software. Do you really think anyone who can't write a regex should be stuck seeing ads?
I agree, though, that ISPs shouldn't be involved in deciding what content you receive. After all, aside from the slippery slope, there may be some perverted individual who loves ads.
Better yet, they can get the fuck off of my internet. We were better off without all of this commercial shit clogging everything up.
I'm with you. Some people act as if they have a right to make money off the internet. I'd prefer that most of them disappear. If anything is immoral, it is advertising. I would ask everybody to install ad-blocking software - not only for a better experience for yourself, but to stop feeding the the bastards.

Right. And even where it's not enshrined in law, you'd never get elected if you admitted to atheism. This is why Obama was advised to begin to attend church when he got into politics.
Record labels had a place - when they made and distributed records. They shot themselves in the foot when they forced the conversion to CD, and then began charging twenty dollars for a ten-cent item. Had they not been so greedy, they might still be relevant. Anybody, (excepting owners of newer Macs), can burn a CD. Not anybody can press a record. If you want to continue as a record label, I suggest you start making records again.
Well, usually, it's about some other arsehole, who did not write a song, or anything else, making money off of your work. That said, I do think copyright is getting out of control.
Right. These "security questions" web sites have you set up now, like "mother's maiden name", and such? I use some completely unrelated information. That way, if someone does the research, or an ex-lover wants in, they won't be able to use that information. But having your password manager compromised is a rare situation. If everyone used them, and used them properly, we would have no need of these two-step authentication schemes.
What, you might ask, happened in 2008? Oh yeah, that's the first fiscal year where the budget was passed by a Democratic controlled Congress.
Those tax 'n' spend Democrats! Anything else happen around that time, or was TARP just a Democratic entitlement program? Here's the thing, kids: The so-called deficit doesn't matter. At least, it wouldn't if our politicians and citizens understood how fiat money works. The US budget is not like a household budget, (the metaphor the ignorant like to use), where you have to get money. The fact is, they didn't spend nearly enough on recovery, all because of the know-nothings.
What's wrong with selling drugs like heroin? Why is that, or simply getting high, a crime at all? Why do you think it's ok to arrest someone who was not committing a crime, simply because they may have committed a crime in the past? It is this puritan drug war which is driving all of this police militarization, and especially the hyper-aggressive policing in black city neighborhoods. It is the drug war which creates almost all of the crime in these areas. The drug war is the greater problem, and the root cause.
That you read my post as aggressive and yelling might indicate that you were excessively coddled as a child. Take two paint chips, twice a day, sublingually, for thirty days. Then re-read my post in a soothing, avuncular voice.
I agree. It's a pretty chaste image. Nowadays, people seem to think they have the right never to be offended, no matter how easily offended they are. Another thing, generally speaking: If I wanted to be treated as an equal, I wouldn't want to then demand special accommodations, which would only serve to underline my inabilities. But that's just me.

Right. Nevermind that the app crashed, not the OS.
Does anybody still drink tap water? They ought to be adding fluoride to bottled water. But then, you have the problem of who to blame the conspiracy on, since Communist plots have gone out of fashion.
Right. The reason I deleted my account was that they were creeping me out with their emails asking me if I knew so-and-so. I foolishly uploaded my address book so I could transfer it to an Android phone, (somehow, it couldn't be done directly from my Mac at the time), and promptly forgot about it. Later, my email inbox started filling up with emails asking me if I knew old employers, and other people who I'd never, ever, want looking at my profile. It took me a while to figure out how they were making these connections, and when I did, I had to delete these hundreds of address book entries from their site, one by one. I just hate the way Google scans all your data, and makes whatever use of it they like. And I really hate that they try to force you to use one ID for all of their accounts. I don't want all that shit tied together. I also stopped using Google for my googling, not only because of privacy concerns, but also because you don't get neutral search results.
I would not let my children handle mercury, or lead, or really any heavy metals.
Glad you weren't my parent, (although, I'm sure you're a fine parent)! I would never have had a lead melting kit, (with cowboy molds!), a wood burning kit, (I forget what you were supposed to do with that, but it was great for melting army men, and burning my name into anything wooden), nor likely a dissecting kit, (and all the formaldehyde-soaked creatures I carved up), all while my age was in the single digits. And then, my dentist once gave me a nice blob of mercury to take home and play with - a little reward for being a brave patient. You would've taken that away from me? Yet, somehow, I turned out ok, and suffered no ill effects to my health. Having grown up in the sixties, (high school in the early seventies), I find it really shocking what a short leash kids are kept on nowadays. I spent my Summer days in complete, day-long freedom, and explored everything, via my Schwinn Stingray, within a ten-mile radius of home before I was nine. I lived in the city, not a remote rural area. My little sister's kids, OTOH, never went anywhere on their own, their activities all being planned, monitored, and scheduled - even play. Apparently, this is not merely common, but enshrined in law, as children left to simply walk themselves places have been picked up by police, the parents threatened with the taking of their children by Social Services. I wonder what the result of this type of child-raising will be, (for myself), when these children are themselves old enough to make laws.
If you accept the notion that science is "nerdy", and accept that archaeology is science, it follows that archaeological discoveries are of interest to nerds, with, or without, any mercury nearby. Not that one must be a nerd to enjoy Slashdot. I got laid in high school, yet I'm interested in many of the topics presented here.

That actually sounds plausible. We all know Christians have a persecution complex.

From TFA: "...Facebook points out that Hello only has access to information which has been made publicly available on the social network..."
What idiot puts their real name and phone number on Facebook? Surely, no one would do that?
