Those that want a "kill" switch regardless of party better not get what you wish for.
If a liberal is in charge of a kill switch, killing off conservative websites just remember
that politics is like a circle, what goes around comes around.
Personally, I wish a hands off approach to the internet under purely 1st amendment
grounds. "Congress shall make no law..." what part of that do those pinheads not
understand. With the good, comes the bad. 3/4 of the crap on tv, radio, internet,
magazines I don't care for, but I'd rather it be left to the market to figure out, instead
of some idiot politician to say if it should be banned.
Perhaps they want to return to their position as a MOM instead of buying the feminist agenda that
they don't need a man, can do anything a man can do, should work, bla bla bla.
Hey, if a woman wants to work, fine, but, I bet a lot of them would rather stay at home taking care
of the house & kids, than work, THEN come home & take care of the house & kids.
I know a lot of married couples that found it was CHEAPER in the long run to just have one parent
working. So they don't live in a 500,000 dollar house & have 2 brand new cars, but they sure seem
a hell of a lot happier doing the TRADITIONAL thing of the man working and the woman staying home
taking care of children/house.
Had they explained the antenna designed to a ham radio operator, first thing out of their mouths would have been, it won't work if you hold it in your hands LOL.
Facepalm by Apple.
I tried to warn you liberal clowns that Hussein Obama was not the "white knight" you idiots
thought he was. He is about CONTROL. Control over every aspect of you life. What you can
eat, where you can work, go to school, what you can read, watch, hear and download.
The government will not be happy until we have our "new world order", but, for that to happen,
they have to completely destroy the U.S. economy, the constitution, and demoralize the people.
Haven't you idiots ever heard of a dictator that didn't promise the world, then after he is
in complete power, turn on the very people who put him there?
Big deal....so he's just informing the majority of people that don't rely on the drive by media for news.
No big deal....the dirtbag lived longer than he should have, and, at least (according to the reports)
he lived for a few seconds after the execution and had to THINK about spending eternity in HELL!
I quit using it when I found various errors, slanderous articles. As you stated, the site is "allowed" to put crap on things or people their "views" are different from, but will remove any content, that directly goes against their own view.
Nice idea, but, wicki has a long way to go to fix the BS that goes on over there.
I gave up on the paid AV's. Even when you find a good clean one, they end up making it BLOATED by throwing in the kitchen
sink. I don't visit/download crap, behind a router & firewall, have a couple anti-malware software I run on demand.
Anyone that gets a virus these days isn't being smart.
Well of course Hussein Obama would cut NASA. How's he going to pay for all this socialist crap that he has planned?
Next to cut will be the military and on and on until we are forced to wear chairman Mao suits like good little communists!
As a kid in the early 70's, I spent many nights listening to songs
like "The cockroach that ate Cincinnati", "They're Coming To Take Us Away" and songs like that.
Not sure how their "speed" tickets or red light tickets work, but
in Missouri, we had a problem with the way the city of Springfield (not homer simpson's home)
did it's red light cameras.
A RETIRED highway patrol officer was caught in one, he did not claim he didn't run the light, he ADMITTED it,
but he had a problem with they way the process worked.
You ran a light, the BACK of your car was photographed, and the registered owner of the vehicle was mailed
a 100 dollar ticket in the mail. Ok, TWO things.
1. You were PRESUMED guilty, the ticket was considered a "civil infraction"
2. What if it was a commercial vehicle, your son or daughters car that was registered in the fathers name,
you let someone borrow the car. Did not matter, the REGISTERED owner got the ticket.
He protested the ticket, since he was not allowed due process, it worked it's way up the ladder and the
supreme court through it out, refunded him the ticket (he donated the money to the MADD organization)
The supreme court said in no small part that you cannot presume someone guilty without due process,
and told the city to turn off the cameras until they change the ordinance.
Not only did that happen, but the EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS they collected in less than
a year (yeah, I'll give them that, this city DOES have idiots that run lights), is being refunded via the
same attorney that defended him, via law suits.
No one really had a lot of problems with the cameras, IF THEY DID A COUPLE THINGS.
1. Snap the FRONT of your car, showing who was driving the car.
2. Run the ticket through the normal court process, where you can challenge the ticket.
The USA use to make almost EVERYTHING, then, CEO's & unions got greedy and killed the golden goose.
BOTH sides, labor & management need to be realistic and work together. Unions need to stop demanding
retiring at 50 with a FULL pension, you just cannot do that any more, and management needs to be realistic
to the needs of labor, and not trying to have a salary 100+ times that of the workers.
How about some other countries picking up the tab for a change?
Why does the USA have to be the country responsible for everything?
(yeah, I'd rather have the USA do it than anyone else, but just saying
some other countries should chip in some bucks once in a while)
Typical response from a brain dead kool-aid drinking liberal.
Ok, so you get rid of BP.....you keep getting rid of oil companies
who are willing to take a huge financial RISK to drill for oil, where do you
think all of your gas, heating oil is going to come from?
Oh, and if you think plastics, gas etc are the only things to benefit from
oil, get rid of it and watch a bulk of your drugs that keep you alive disappear
too.
They wouldn't have to drill do far offshore if the enviro-nazis would shut up and
let them drill closer to where the oil pockets are known to be!
Been in the business 30 years (AS A TECH, NOT A SALESMAN). This is just another red herring that give the government
something else to do. Unless the I.T. department where the machine is located is completely STUPID they have to know
these new "MFP's" have a hard drive.
Most of these boxes in the last couple years have encryption, data scramblers, or DoD wipe built in, but, as with OTHER
SECURITY measures, it is the END USERS responsiblity, NOT the dealer to turn these features on. 99.9% of the time,
the only thing the end user asks is how fast is it, and how much does it cost.
My policy, and that of the other techs I deal with (mid size dealer, 6 locations scattered across four states) is that at
the end of a lease, or trade in, the copier comes back to our office, and if the machine is in resale condition for an overhaul,
the drive is WIPED before taken back to the lease company or resale. If the machine is to be disposed of, the drive is removed,
& destroyed. In the field, if a drive fails, the I.T. department is given the option of taking the old drive and disposing of it
on their own, or, if the end use does not care for the old drive is pulled apart, platters removed and destroyed (all documented
on the service work order).
This CBS video story just stirred up the masses like Chicken Little "the sky is falling".
Unless you STORE information on the drive, the copier "deletes" the file (copy, print scan, non stored ). Yes, just like the
old DOS days, the first letter is deleted, the remaining file is there, but overwritten like any other hard drive.
Data encryption, when turned on, uses 128 bit to encrypt/decrypt the information on the fly (now reduction in speed).
With data overwrite, after a copy job is finished, the area where the file remained is overwritten (DoD L3 or 5). Using a
combination of encryption & overwrite, the data is secure.
Personally, I've gone into office that have OPEN DESKTOP COMPUTERS that are easier to access than trying to rip out
the drive of a copy machine, plus, so many I.T. departments have such lack security, that I can if I wanted, just unhook
the copier from the network, plug it into my laptop and with no passwords or other security measures, be right on their
network, so, everyone just calm down. You don't have to worry about those "innocent" photos from the office party of
your butt, or the "the boss is a jerk" email showing up on the internet. Just google the guy in the CBS video and you'll
see that he is SELLING a service to wipe out hard drives on computers, printers & copiers, which is about as pointless
as the Best Buy "new computer tuneup" service they offer. It's like wiping your ass before you take a dump...it's not
needed!
Go and look at his designs of the 30's & 40's, along with his ideas and thoughts.
He KNEW that a wing design would be more efficient & use less fuel, but his ideas
were scrapped in the 50's, because of (then) Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington
& his connections with Consolidated (who had a competing plane, the B-36). POLITICS
kept a pure wing or blended body construction, along with the (lack of) technology of the
time.
Alabama = Marshall Space Flight Center = Jobs which is why that senator wants funding to continue
Utah = Rocket company Thiokal = Jobs which is why that senator wants funding to continue.
This is always been the problem with legislators who depend on money for elections.
Until the USA gets behind term limits, and banishes these "lifetime" politicians, this BS continues.
Oh, let one senator keep is million dollar pet project here, another with a 2 billion dollar project
there, it's not "that" much money. After you total up the entire 500+ idiots we call legislators, you
can see why the USA is in such trouble.
Until the world gets a backbone, look for more of this BS.
Everyone is "afraid" to offend islamic terrorist goons, but feel it is ok to sh*t on any other
religion they want to.
Screw the islamic goat screwing idiots.
I hated to see them drop Morse code, but for the hobby to survive, they pretty much had to get rid of it.
Had mine for a little over 20 years now.
73's...

I would EXPECT a corporation to pass along income taxes to the consumer. It's called BUSINESS.
Something 99% of the youth, who have been brainwashed in government schools, to hate, along with
the Constitution, duty, honor, god and everything else that made the USA great.
Distracted driving is just that...a distraction.
I can multitask with the best of them, but if it is other than a simple SHORT conversation,
I find a parking lot to duck into (even using blue tooth).
I use to volunteer working 911 for almost 13 years, and was very good at hearing 2-3 radio channels
AND the phone, picking out what I needed, but, I didn't have to worry about crashing the radio
into the wall either, I was sitting on my butt! Talking and driving is bad enough, TEXTING and
driving is C&I, pure & simple.
The ONLY thing Hollywood knows how to do is milk a resource until everyone can't stand the movie.
Rocky, Star Wars, Matrix, Harry Potter etc etc.
They haven't had an original idea in decades!
