I remember back in the 90's or early 2000's someone said the CIA was intercepting ALL email in the USA,
and running it through a program that would look for key words or some such garbage.
I went into my signature file, using a WHITE FONT and put in my sig file about 20-30 words that
should have triggered something, just to hopefully screw with their program.
Probably didn't work, but it made me feel better.
Hey, I'm as law and order as the next guy, but MY PRIVACY IS MINE. You THINK I'm doing something
illegal? Get the probable cause and get a warrant!
If I can't run photoshop, won't have it. I use it almost every day. Plus, I have a lot of business specific
programs that I have to run, that probably won't work like I want.
Good for some, but at that price, I'll take a laptop instead.
Scientist try to make bug resistant plants, jack around with DNA to stop this or that in NATURE.
Oh, but it's 100% safe. Yeah, right. Granted, the over prescription of antibiotics in the 80's was
a mess, but that isn't the only reason.
I for one, am very fortunate...the number of times I've had to use just plain old run of the mill
antibiotics you can count on one hand. My younger sister on the other hand, has to have those
really jacked up price kind to do her any good.
And, while they are at it, adopt the "third world" technology of making people dip their fingers in that purple ink that
doesn't wear off for a few days.
Twitter, is for TWITS. Spreads more garbage, than a truck with the gate down.
PRIME example. Ferguson Missouri. Twitter spews out "police shoot unarmed teenager
with hands up running away". Riots, burning of businesses, black lies matter and for what?
Few weeks, moths later, we find out not only was he not running away, he was running TOWARD
the officer, AFTER he assaulted a store clerk, assaulted the officer, attempting to take his weapon,
was a past troublemaker, firearms, drugs and what not.
Still today, ask a lot of people, they will say they shot him running away.
Twitter, should be trashed....from the president, on down! The bulk of social media is garbage.
I've had a hotmail account, since 1997.
I use it for "junk mail". Anytime I have to log into any site with an email address...they get
my hotmail address. Keeps the spam/junk out of my real email account.
Shoot, about 75% of the stuff I see are things like this:
Apple will lose xxx share...click here for the details
New campaign to take down xxxx politician, click for the details
and on and on. Click bait, to get people to go to a website, in order to run up the
click count, so the website can charge more for advertising.
I've worn a watch, since a teenager in the 70's. Feel's funny to NOT wear one.
But, smartwatches, are TOO expensive, and their battery life it too short. I carry
my phone with me, strapped to a belt clip. If I need anything more than the time,
day/date or stopwatch, I just grab my smartphone. When a call comes in, if I am
out and about, I either have it on my car, which displays who's calling, or the BT
headset, which speaks to me saying who's calling.
I have an inexpensive Casio Illuminator (big dial & numbers), battery lasts for YEARS,
not HOURS. Less than $50.00, rugged, dependable.
With many people having pretty much a home movie theater, other than the draw of the HUGE SCREEN, what's the advantage of
going to the movies? High price for the tickets & concessions, putting up with people in the theater yacking and what not, parking,
gas to/from the theater, traffic, hot/cold/rain/snow.
With online streaming, it's almost a benefit to just wait it out, stay at home and watch it in the comfort of your own home.
You know this can happen.
Call a ride share place, to take you to a hospital. Die before you get there because you are concerned about
paying for an ambulance (can't blame ya!). Lawyer sues the ride share company because you died (through no
fault of their own). You know it is a possibility.
Government wants a cashless world. It's about control. When you no longer have any tangible assets, they
can take whatever money they want (ask Greece). Or, they can control/monitor your purchases. Outlaw
cash...then make a law about healthcare tied to what you spend.
Go into a fast food establishment...order a cheeseburger, fries and a coke....BZZZZZZZ sorry, your last healthcare
checkup says your BMI is too high.
Try to buy a sports car...BZZZZZZZ...sorry, your driving record shows too many speeding tickets.
DON'T think it can't happen!
It's only worth, what one is willing to pay for it.
It isn't backed by anything, no physical "thing".
Until the U.S. government went off the gold standard,
ANY money printed, had to be backed by a like amount of
gold/silver, or no further money could be printed. Now, it
is backed by "the full faith & credit of the United States", so,
in other words, it's worthless, per se.
If the doctor tells them something, or prescribes them something, they take it as gospel.
I know my doctor sometimes wants me to take this or that, VERY expensive drugs for
blood pressure, cholesterol etc. I have found for the BP problem, instead of taking ONE
pill, I can get a generic of basically the same thing, take 2 in the morning, one in the evening
and the pills are 8 bucks for NINETY DAYS worth. Does the same thing, works just as well.
If people would not so much "challenge" their doctor, but ASK QUESTIONS, about alternatives
and what not, things would be better off.
Just an easy way for moslems to infiltrate the rest of the world, then breed like rabbits, and within 1-2 generations
dominate the entire planet, send the entire world back into the 12th century. Sounds like fun!
Here's an idea. Clean up you OWN MESS...but...but...but...we have war lords, dictators that control our country.
THAT is your problem, not the rest of the world. You want to live like a 12th century moron, don't come crying to me.
Man caused global warming (climate change) is NOT REAL. It's a made up term used by morons, trying to bilk wealthy nations out of money, in a form of redistribution. You really want to know what screws up our weather? Go look up the term Maunder Minimum, Dalton Minimum, Modern Maximum (which just ended).
The SUNSPOT CYCLE is what impacts weather on Earth, more than man could ever dream of (short of an all out global nuclear war). One good belch from a volcano has more impact on our weather than "man".
The modern maximum, with cycle 23 just ended within the past year, but the trend in sunspots has been down, WAY down. There have been many times this past winter & spring, that the Earth facing solar disk has been completely BLANK. NOT ONE sunspot. Sunspots are disturbances on the surface of the sun, magnetic ripples. When one of those lets go a coronal mass ejection (CME), and it is streaming to the Earth, it strikes our magnetic field, and can change weather patterns.
There is evidence now from some, stating the positions of Venus & Uranus can also change the suns relationship with regard to spots.
In the 1700's, (the Maunder minimum) winters were so cold, the Thames in London, and the Potomac in Maryland FROZE SOLID. We had the modern maximum in the period where people like Algore came up with the idea of "man made global warming". Now, in the past couple of years, after cycle 23, the trend has been for cooler overall temperatures.
But, since most people under the age of 30, have been indoctrinated from birth to "save the polar bears" bla bla bla, they will not look at the hard science of what really impacts this little blue ball in space.
Boy it’s been fun cruising the liberal blogs watching their collective heads EXPLODE. This man made global warming nonsense needs to be put to rest.
THE SUN is what changes our climate. Man couldn’t change it, short of an all out nuclear war, if it wanted to. One belch from a volcano screws up the weather more than man can do.
Why don’t you guys start researching the solar sunspot cycles over the last 400 years and then lay the graphic temperatures on top and you will see they are pretty much the same. Cycle 23, just ended, and with it, ended what REAL scientist call the modern maximum (1950's through early 2000's). The trend in the last 9 years has been for less spots on the sun, which results in less geomagnetic disturbances. Those disturbances, in the form of coronal mass ejections (CME’s) hit the magnetic bubble around our planet, and screw with the weather...not man. In all likelyhood we are heading toward a COOLING trend, not a warming trend, but, you’ve been indoctrinated since birth into believing it is all man’s fault, and, in particular, “evil rich white slaveholder men from the imperialist United States”.
It's faster, I bag things how I WANT, use less bags. With the walmart app, scan the QR code,
boom! Done. In 6 months, I've gotten back almost 40 bucks in purchase match.
To me, they are pretty much a gimmick.
I've worn a watch for almost 40 of my 50+ years.
When a "wearable" watch has a battery that can last at least a month, costs less than 100-150 dollars,
I MIGHT think of purchasing one. For now, my overly large Casio Illuminator, less than $50, works just
fine, and has a battery that lasts for YEARS.
I carry my phone with me, so everything else it right on my belt.

All these worlds are yours except Europa Use them together Use them in peace. Not so sure I'd go there ;) LOL

8k, 88" display? For what? Seeing the hairs on a fly? Considering the junk on tv these days, what's the use?

Other than that, also tests after tests because of lawsuits.
Apple sold 223 million phones. Android has zillions of manufacturers, which eclipses anything Apple did. 85% of the smartphone market, is Android.
