Once the UN or whomever gets it, they can just ban, delete, remove anything they want. The other countries will now probably
have a say so, in what is ON the internet, and what gets taken OFF the internet. FREE flow of things, both good and bad is
what makes the internet what it is today. Oh well, it had a good 30 year+ run.
Glad someone took this anti everything that isn't socialist, hipster crap website down.
Click bait was about all they were good for.
The employees better learn SPANISH, or they'll be replaced by illegal aliens.
Software...which means they will contract with cheap foreign labor once again.
Just click the mouse, and the software will be in the USA.
Sad....not surprised, but sad workers in the USA are being cut, just to prop up a
stock value.
Dell Streak 5, Galaxy Note1, and for the past 2+ years, Huawei Ascend Mate2.
Probably going to keep that one, one more year before updating.
It's a phone to me...not a fashion accessory that "needs" to be replaced every
year. Plus, the global economy is such, no one has that much free money left
over to spend on these overpriced "flagships".
but...but...but...I thought they were providing a valuable service?
I thought everything was suppose to be "free". You mean it's EXPENSIVE to run
fiber all the way to the home?
And here we thought these evil cable operators were just being greedy.
Only under a court order, should they do this. And by court order, I mean an open court of law,
not these so called hush hush courts that no one knows about.
But, what will happen, is these businesses will be forced to decrypt the data "or else" their access
to the internet will be disrupted, the IRS will magically investigate them, justice department will
investigate them, labor law will investigate them and on and on. The government, has unlimited
resources to get anything they want.
I don't have an apple product, most of the music I listen to today, comes from spotify/pandora, which has to be compressed I'm sure to make
it not suck up a ton of data, and it's usually played through bluetooth into the shaker sound system in my Mustang. That, and my hearing pretty
much rolls off around 13k, if that! So, I'm NOT "pixel peeping" for sound. And, the music I listen to is old school rock, blues, country from the 70's.
All originally recorded in analog.
Now, given that, if they start invoking DRM into what I listen to, I'll just put a ton of MP3's back on my phone.
You can bet, the RNC is doing a lot of scrubbing of their servers.
Both parties are nothing more than crooks. It's to the point, we
might as well just merge both parties, get rid of the president, declare
the USA a socialist nation, have a dictator for life and be done with it.
It's almost to that point anyway. People are AFRAID of government,
and it's suppose to be the other way around! They don't do our bidding,
we must do what THEY tell us to do!
I've been using directory opus since windows XP. I won't use anything else!
It got to be a pain managing zip, rar, 7zip, ftp, etc...stumbled onto it and was
hooked from the start.
LOL, the government continues to try to paint a pretty smile on this WHITE ELEPHANT.
It will NEVER be able to replace the F-15, F-16, F/A-18 and most importantly, the A-10.
WAY over budget, and under performing, it's going to cost lives, if they even try to replace
the A-10 with this POS.
The problem is, people in the USA, take their rights & freedoms for granted.
The (un)education system in this nation, over the last 40+ years, along with our short attention
span, people don't have a clue how our system is SUPPOSE to work. People are deathly afraid
of the IRS, afraid of the CIA, afraid of pretty much any government agency. THAT my friends, IS
the problem. People are afraid of government, but, the government should be afraid of the people.
We have become not a free nation, but a nation that is now is a soft tyranny, and we are quickly
approaching a hard tyranny. Once "something" triggers a nationwide crisis, be it terrorism, a huge
global pandemic, depression, war, whatever, the government will quickly suspend our rights and
we will become a socialist dictatorship. I only hope it doesn't happen until my time on this Earth
is finished.
The Constitution EXPECTS its citizens to police those governing it, and, to throw out any such government
that usurps the rights guaranteed in the constitution. Considering how we've allowed the government to
get to this point, shame on us for not being good stewards of our country.
Scientist can't predict the weather more than 24-48 hours, and they keep claiming man made global warming.
25-50 years of weather data (some of that is questionable) considering the age of the Earth, is mule fritters.
The SUN causes changes in our climate, not man. The sun, now in a period of COOLING, has had this summer,
several periods of NO SUNSPOTS on the visible disk that is toward Earth. Lack of disruption in the solar disk, means
no flares that will cause our geomagnetic bubble to ebb & flow, and cause the oceans to change. Once the solar minimum
is over, those spots will start showing back up, and the solar flares will direct energy towards Earth. It also helps ham radio
operators and the bands haven't been that good this summer.

When I see, REGARDLESS of who posts it, "shocking! You won't believe what xxxxx just said"
Or, When so and so did this, this is what happened...anyone should know it's click bait.
Can the 20mm gun fire and HIT what it is aimed at? Last I read, the SOFTWARE wasn't going to be ready
until 2017. It's "suppose" to replace the A-10, which is a JOKE in itself. One shot from a 20mm ground gun,
or 40mm bofors will bring it down, but on the A-10, it will shake it off and continue to fly, minus parts of the wings,
engines etc.
How many decades have cities given "unfair advantages" to cable companies by not
allowing but 1 company for most cities, thereby jacking up the price because they were
the only one providing service.
The other problem is they were sold a bill of goods that says you HAVE to have a traditional 4 year degree, to get a job.
In the early 70's, my HS counselor was asking me what college I wanted to go to. I told him I didn't really want to go to
a "normal" college and learn all the crap they make you learn. He asked what I really wanted to do. I told him I LOVED
playing around with electronics. He said how about a technical college. After explaining it to me, it was a no brainer.
I went to a 2 year tech college, didn't have to go into debt (back then, a 4 year would have cost you 10,000 at most).
I went to Texas and worked for Texas Instruments for a couple years, moved back and have been gainfully employed, no
layoffs, cutbacks in my field.
Today, getting a 4 year BS degree can leave you in such debt, and the jobs in some markets if you can find one in your
degree field, pay squat, forcing some to have 2 jobs, 3 jobs, just to pay rent (that is if they move out of mom & dads).
Everyone complains about "big oil" big pharma" etc, but this country needs to have a SERIOUS discussion about
"big college". A major university can pay their presidents way over 6 figures, over 7 for their sports coaches, professors
earn a ton, sometimes using teacher aids to actually teach the class because they are too busy writing books and what
not. Universities are nothing more than money generating. And boy to they build palaces to themselves. Perhaps not building
new sports stadiums all the time, glass and marble halls to stupidity, the price of college could come back down.
Considering the lack of real knowledge coming out of 4 year colleges, I wouldn't spend my money supporting them.
They want to protect themselves from an ICBM, fine. I'd be more worried about one coming in rogue from a muslim extremist terrorist
than from the USA, especially in light of the military cutbacks, downsizing etc.
Even if the USA/China would get into a shootin' match...the drones, stealth, cruise missiles might get through.
And at that, would it really matter, after all "wouldn't you rather play a game of chess?"

Almost like the character "Brill" from the movie...off the grid and all of that.
Simple, no ads. I use a 1-2 punch of ublock/ABP for my browsing needs. I'm sure ABP will always outsmart them.

Best "search engine" at the time was probably gopher, until yahoo came around. Most of my web, was nothing more than bbs sites, on dialup.
When I see, REGARDLESS of who posts it, "shocking! You won't believe what xxxxx just said" Or, When so and so did this, this is what happened...anyone should know it's click bait.
Maybe they won't repopulate more just like em, and they will die off! Bunch of self absorbed a-holes that think the world revolves around them.

This morning, I tried typing my email address, usually the first 2 letters and the rest pops up, but it didn't today.

Everyone knows if you are searching for something dark, you have to use a light to find it. ;)
Congress passed a new regulation, EXEMPTING THEM OR THEIR CONTRACTED SERVICES when a politician makes a robo call.
