Just wait until we live in the post energy Mad Max era of lack of knowledge.
Why, if you owned those, you would be... GOD! Or a washed up singer in charge of some sort of barter town.
Regardless, it is pretty clear that many culture and social icons are entering their later years. There isnt two weeks that go by that someone of some significance has passed in the last half year I think.
huberis and a lack of maturity.
Seriously... pwnsauce? How many 10 year olds out there have that name online? Worse than when people showed up with persona names like "Zerocool".
In my mind it automatically brings up the question, "what are you, 12?"
If you want to separate yourself from the pack, you dont run around using raepsauce that is for sure.
This guy is not your typical hacker.
Yup.
I was thinking of all of the "over budget" crap and PR made security companies that have failed over the years.
That money would be better spent on education and strong rules to control security.
I think you mean to say "global private interest".
Because quite frankly they have been doing a great job of keeping the internet where it is and there is no significant reason other than all of the legislature that has been out there to fundamentally kill the internet for everyone but corporations.
Yeah, you had to understand what they mean by "subsidy" when they refer to it. Subsidizing something does not automatically mean the government is doing it. It is odd he would choose this word... wait... election year... recession, no... no it isnt.
Here is my thought on that. He is getting into a very very very virgin market. Meaning there are things on Wind Turbines that, as a mechanic, you might come up with to make it safer, more efficient, or more robust. Allowing you to invent and patent possible revelation and thus living an American dream.
I kinda envy these new maintenance people.
I would use it to get a hot chick into bed.
OMG we are going to die, so... can I hit that?
Shes like, hell to the no! but then she realizes, hey.. Im going to die, so yeah... you can hit that, but no kissing!
This scene brought to you by Scrubs.
I would be more curious as to what your SNR, power and other levels are if you were to go down the home equipment path.
However, I would suggest you are right, that it is CenturyLink. If you traceroute/ping and receive a consistent jump in ms or packet loss at a specific hop, then it is that hop.
It could be that they are aware of the issue and are fixing it, it could be they dont have the funds to fix it, or it could be that they dont want to fix it.
I have worked for Charter communications and SBC DSL back in the day, so I know the internal thought processes behind these things. The ignorant thing they do is to never admit to a problem, regardless if they know about it or not. It is frustrating, but there are good techs out there. Have you tried broadbandreports.com?
That site typically has techs on it from various companies looking to help people out.
I was on it when I worked at SBC and Charter and helped out many. In fact Charter embraced it and had two dedicated techs helping people through it at that time.
Because the way these guns are purchased is through a legal loophole which does not require background checks and other required checks you would need to go through normally.
In essence, you can go to a gun convention, purchase multiple guns of any type, and walk out without a problem.
What happens is that the Cartel asks people to purchase the guns for them, and people do. Then they are transported over border and lost in Mexico.
So this person feels his Second amendment rights are somehow at risk if we close this loophole, which would require limited purchases and background checks.
What makes a good conspiracy is that it is plausible.
What makes a false statement good, is it plays on insecurities and fears, Fox News knows how to do this. Ironically Fox News is a company that has made a living off of Tabloid literature.
That being said, there is no proof of this.
Really? You would mod up someone who has absolutely no proof, has formed a jaded opinion off of various reports, nitpicking what they need to form their opinion, and then post it on slashdot on a news report that may kinda sorta support their crazy ass conspiracy?
Hmm.... I think I just came up with the internet conspiracy formula.... patent pending!!!
I agree, living in a bubble is awesome! Steve Jobs did!
OH wait....
One other thing, these "other ways to protect your privacy" cost money. So, either way companies are still making money off of you.
Except, this isnt the government, it is the "private sector". You might find this a quandary, but consider that a company has your data and you must pay them to keep it away from the free press. Sure, it might be extortion now... but wouldnt that be blocking "free trade"?
You see... when corporations own the government, there is no stopping them to endeavor to make you their slave.
Even monetary systems can be manipulated into slavery. For example, Communism. But instead of the government controlling everything, companies do.
And well... since companies are people... it turns into the one thing everyone has hated and feared since the 1920s.
Agreed. As an IT Director, I can tell you I would be pissed someone took company inventory and did this.
Security is based off of locking down that laptop so you dont do something stupid like install a "free game" with a trojan in it.
Not that I dont trust employees to know better, but I dont trust ALL employees to know better. A breach only takes one infected system.
The way I see it, all people are societies responsibility.
You want to harp on someone because they are too skinny, too fat, have too many pits in their face, dont have a square jaw, arent up to your standards?
Fine, but you get to pay for their psychotherapy, or alternate cause because therapy is not covered in our society.
People wonder why school shootings, beatings, rapes, etc. keep happening to our children. But what they should do is look in the mirror and think back at all the harm they have caused. Words dont hurt? Perhaps not right away, but over time... your attitude adds up and costs society.
If you dont reap what you sew, too bad. Society must be held accountable from now on for its own actions.
Well... with the evidence given FOR the opinion of this writer, yes... Stratfor is a joke.
I mean, I certainly would not write an opinion article where I introduce evidence contrary to my actual opinion. That would mean my opinion is wrong and thus I should change my opinion accordingly.
What do I look like... Religion?

What was the speed in 83? like 900bps?
