Exactly. DuckDuckGo "Legal Intercept". A lot of Internet users do not remember "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish", which helped Gates become a billionaire. Now, Google's owners are doing the same business plan: pretending to show interest in a startup's technology and talking about partnering with them, until they acquire the startup's secrets, then they dump them. I can recall only one company, a French company, that won 2 Million suing Microsoft for breach of promise. Most victims run out of money for lawyers before their case ever gets to court.
Because it is possible to communicate using end-to-end encryption that doesn't depend on a 3rd party, or their server, and uses a 2048 byte or larger key.
Case in point: Using FreeNet's "Friends" connection, a P2P open source application that allows you to create encrypted connections between you and only your friends.
Don't think so. What you are seeing is browser activity caused by tracking cookies sending reports back home. IF YOU allow cookies the problem is your fault, not Ubuntu's. Use an ad blocker or script blocker.
There is no process (or service) which is tasked with watching your keyboard except the traditional keyboard interrupt which is required in order that YOU can communicate with Ubuntu. All OS's have this capability and it is not a bug or spyware.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that Microsoft patented "Legal Intercept" at around the the time they bought Skype, and they have it running on their Skype servers. Microsoft, or anyone they allow (hint: gov types), can eaves drop on any Skype conversation because Legal Intercept bypasses encryption.
Condition the reader by presenting them with a biased into to the poll, then expect the kind of answers you were polling for.

Speech is not free if someone else can tell you what you can and cannot say and back it up with the authority ot punish you for violating THEIR rules. " Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an (1) establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or (2) abridging the freedom of speech, or (3) of the press; or the right of the people (4) peaceably to assemble, and to (5) petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Remember, the 1st Amendment enumerates FIVE freedoms. If free speech isn't free then neither are the other four.
" Can't let the socialists win by breaking up monopolies "
uh, Vermont is noted for its heavy lean to the Left and its senator, Bernie Sanders, is a self-declared socialist, yet Vermont got in bed with the devil.
It is common for Socialist to conflate profit with greed, but the Left has a sizable number of Billionaires: most of the Marxist Chinese ruling class, ditto for the Russians, the Cubans, North Korea, and individuals likeBill Gates, George Soros, and a very large number of American charities. *Cue the "not a true Scotsman" fallacy*
During 2015 there were an average of 88 fatal car crashes a DAY in which an average of 96 people a DAY were killed. Can AI do any better? More than likely, but time will tell.
The BIG problem is that cars do not communicate with each other and so they cannot coordinate their movements. Being able to do that would reduce the causes of accidents and fatalities to just mechanical failures. Sensors and communication networks buried in roadways would help significantly. IF cars were networked, for example, they could all accelerate from a stop light at the same instant, instead of waiting for the car ahead to begin moving. Cars could queue in and out of a line of cars automatically without having to wait on someone being "courteous". No more T-Bones, head-on crashes, tail-enders, speeding, or driving too slow.
Since cars are primarily meant to take a person from point A to point B they can become a standardized public utility, releasing many people from an obligation to purchase a personal vehicle, maintain it, service it, insure it and store it. Just like a cab today, but a LOT cheaper and with an AI driver.
Oh, the GM guy explained why GM and the rest ceased to be market leaders decades ago: " I don't know how you do that". That much is obvious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "Progressive talk radio is a talk radio format devoted to expressing leftist, liberal or progressive viewpoints of news and issues as opposed to conservative talk radio. In the United States, the format has includedsyndicated and independent personalities such as Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, Norman Goldman, Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy, Bill Press, Alan Colmes, Robert F.

Air America and its syblings have been "less popular" because the vast majority of Americans still believe in Rule of Law under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You know, that "little book" you Progressives want to burn.
Good questions! Another question is: Since he is so concerned about what he considers extremist radio stations in the "lower 48" why didn't he mention the fact that the Far-Left has been broadcasting Marxist Theology on Pacifica Radio on the West coast for 71 years?
Fortunately for America, the Comrades have, during that time, repeatedly re-enacted the Lenin-Trotsky wars by purging their ranks of those with politically impure thoughts. What was politically impure depended on who was in power at the time.
MY "Year of Linux" was 1998. I paid $25 for a paper back book title "Learn Linux in 24 Hours", by Bill Brush. It had a RH 5.0 CD in the back. My Sony VAIO desktop was crashing several times an hour running Win95. I thought Sony's hardware was trash. However, running RH5.0 on it and the crashing ceased. The hardware was good. Win95 was trash.
I guess I'm a slow learner. It took me about 30 hours to convert from Windows think to Linux think, but the mouse worked the same as it did in Win3.11FWG. So, if the mouse is giving you a hard time in Windows don't bother switching to Linux.
Stupidly insane alarmist articles by the media. Have thugs, gangsters and drug dealers using firearms? Increase restrictions on Joe and Sally Sixpack. "facepalm: Have jihadists setting off bombs? Increase restrictions on Joe and Sally Sixpack?:facepalm:
You can go to your local hardware store and/or walmart and pick up all of that stuff, stump destroyer, acetone paint remover, 3% hydrogen peroxide, Ammonium Nitrate, Sulfuric Acid, HCL, etc..., under various brand names. Boil down 8 bottles of Hydrogen Peroxide in a pyrex pot to one bottle and you'll have 25% Hydrogen Peroxide. Collect Urine and oxidize it to Nitrates. That's all chemistry info I learned in HS chemistry class 60 years ago, and govs can't bottle that info up.
Enforce the laws for criminal use of firearms and sentence offenders to longer terms without parole. Ditto for Muslim "warriors" who think blowing up women and children is a brave act. Restore the death penalty for crimes which result in multiple deaths. The perp won't be able to repeat his actions if he is dead.
The ocean is a buffered solution. It's average pH isn't going to wonder off into extremes as you suggest. http://www.marinebio.net/marin... "The amount of dissolved gases varies according to the types of life forms in the water. Most living species need oxygen to keep their cells alive (both plants and animals) and are constantly using it up. Replenishment of dissolved oxygen comes from the photosynthetic activity of plants (during daylight hours only) and from surface diffusion (to a lesser extent). If there are a large number of plants in a marine water mass then the oxygen levels can be quite high during the day. If there are few plants but a large number of animals in a marine water mass then the oxygen levels can be quite low. Oxygen is measured in parts per million (also called ppm) and levels can range from zero to over 20 ppm in temperate waters. It only reaches 20 when there are a lot of plants in the water, it is very sunny with lots of nutrients, and the wind is whipping up the surface into a froth. In any water mass there is a maximum amount of dissolved gas that can be found (after which the gas no longer dissolves but bubbles to the surface). This maximum amount increases with a decrease in temperature (thus cold water masses can hold more dissolved gases... but they can also have none if it has been used up). So, just because a water mass is cold it does not mean it has a lot of dissolved gases. This concept is a little tricky but just remember that the amount of dissolved gases in seawater depends more on the types of life forms (plants and animals) that are present and their relative proportions.... pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance and is one of the stable measurements in seawater. Ocean water has an excellent buffering system with the interaction of carbon dioxide and water so that it is generally always at a pH of 7.5 to 8.5. Neutral water is a pH of 7 while acidic substances are less than 7 (down to 1, which is highly acidic) and alkaline substances are more than 7 (up to 14, which is highly alkaline). Anything either highly acid or alkaline would kill marine life but the oceans are very stable with regard to pH. If seawater was out of normal range (7.5-8.5) then something would be horribly wrong. "
Another absurd assumption, probably based on cherry-picked data, just like the pine-cone tree studies "proved" AGW. CO2 enhancement of plant growth has been utilized in agriculture for the past 100 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Fifty five million years ago the CO2 level was at 1,000 ppm and both poles were sub-tropical gardens with an average temperature of 74F. And, there wasn't an SUV or coal fired power plant anywhere on the planet.
Indeed! For those of us who are getting "long in the tooth" we recall very clearly the "Nuclear Winter" debacle, followed by the "Limits to World Growth" debacle, followed by the "Hockey Stick" debacle, followed by the "Climate Change" debacle.
Each had one thing in common: the claim that the only way to avoid catastrophe was to adopt Marxism (they used the euphemism "Socialism") and transfer wealth to Marxist countries (dialectical materialism). The last three are notable because of their use of computers to create an air of "science" about their claim. After all, if a computer says it true it has to be true.
In fact, the Russians invented the kind of hysteria being promoted today. It's called Lysenkoism: the use of faked science to push political agendas.
It used to be that when a Linux developer found a security hole its presence, proof of concept script and patch would be announced and posted the same day the hole was discovered. I.E., "Zero Days" between discovery, announcement and patch. The Linux user could confirm their installation weakness, or not, by running the proof of concept script.
Microsoft destroyed that meaning in its ecosystem by threatening whitehats with lawsuits of they revealed the holes they discovered in Microsoft software to anyone but Microsoft, which sat on the revelations until such time as it suited their political and economic fortunes, if ever. Whitehats routinely "time" their announcements with Microsoft, thus colluding in the coverup. Microsoft does NOT, however, hide such holes from Fortune 500 companies and other organizations with armies of lawyers who could make Microsoft pay for damage done to their systems by Microsoft deliberately concealing security vulnerabilities from them. Joe and Sally Sixpack can't afford such armies so they just hang, twisting in the winds of blackhat adversity till such time as MS throws them a bone.
By blocking their ability to be a MITM. Use a P2P app: IPFS, ZeroNet, I2P or Freenet and leave that walled prison that Google, Facebook, Twitter and the MNM are setting up. IF they succeed you will be digitally shackled.
and they say they will use their power to block what they don't want you to see. They'll call what they don't want you to see "fake news", and they'll use a George Soros supported filtering app to make that determination. Facebook Twitter, Bill Gates and FireFox approve of that app so no need to be afraid./sarcasm
were some of the radio programs that were broadcast when I was a kid. I loved the Green Hornet and The Shadow Knows. That was in the last 40's and early 50's. Then came BW TV and all the movies and cliff hangers that were shown on the silver screen in the 1930's started appearing on the Tube. I loved Buck Rogers and his battles against Ming the Merciless as he flew through space with his spaceship making weird sounds while sparks fell from his exhaust as smoke was rising from it. In the late 50's through the 60's it was all Top 40 and Wolfman Jack, from of XERF-AM at Ciudad Acuña in Mexico.
I'm 76. Sometime about 20-25 years ago I stopped listening to radio. About 15-20 years ago I stopped listening to TV. It's all digital now.
