Just to hazard a guess, but if you're not using a cell phone then they can't intercept it. If you're not using a landline then they can't intercept it. If you're not e-mailing anything then they can't intercept it. If you're not mailing something then they can't intercept it, though I would think that mail would be the hardest to intercept if you were mailing and using random public mailboxes to send and if your recipients were using straw-purchase PO boxes or else third-party mailbox stores.
How about visiting people and talking face-to-face?
I suppose that if you know someone's public key and they've done a good job of not publicizing who they are relative to their public key, you could just spam a million e-mail addresses with the encrypted message, including one of their numerous temporary addresses in the spam list, and only they'd be able to read the message, and no one would really know who it was actually for. The hardest part would be avoiding a discernible pattern.
In all seriousness, pick up some non-computer hobbies if your living arrangements give you the space.
I've tinkered with cars, played musical instruments, built model rockets, played with small machines and appliances, learned to dance, gotten a ham radio license, worked on the house, etc.
I found I don't do too well mixing my career and my hobbies. I did it for computers and now I really don't like computers like I did before.
I figured that. I've pulled the phone out and found it to have randomly swiped between six or seven of the dots on the swipe screen, so it's still conceivable to accidentally screw up the phone by hitting that correct combination.
That's kind of weird. We hear about governments shutting down all broadcast media other than state-owned media so often that the opposite is just...bizarre...
What's the rest of Greece's commercial broadcast media like? What was this organization like? The only analogues I have are NPR and PBS for "state owned" and that's not necessarily entirely accurate, and that private broadcast media here in the US is often very, very heavily biased, even moreso when they make claims to the contrary.
People are arguing semantics. "Impaired Driving" is a specific, narrow legal definition, usually drug/alcohol related. "Impaired" Driving is a description of all possible ways of reducing the effectiveness of someone's driving skills, including "Impaired Driving" as a subset, but also including distractions, weariness, and other factors defining when one's driving is not up to par.
Personally I don't even like reading a text message or other notification while sitting at a red light, nor do I like attempting to get maps to work while not pulled over to the side. In large part I blame feedbackless touchscreens, as it's very difficult to touch-type on a piece of smooth glass.
I believe that there is still a legal right to refuse a breath test, but in refusing the test one's driver's license is automatically invalidated in some states.
Problem with an android swipe-type lock is that it's fairly easy to have it start taking input while in your pocket, so that phone just might wipe while you're walking.
If someone died or was severely injured in an auto accident then I don't think that the burden for a warrant should be too hard to come by, and they should only need to see the window in which the vehicle was moving just before the accident, and if there were any end-user applications transmitting data outbound, like SMS or e-mail or the like. Arguably it should be easy to figure out exactly when the wreck was and when to make that window for the search by looking at when the phone stopped moving.
I do not think that this kind of data should be available without a warrant, but I also think that it's reasonable to get a warrant if the severity of the incident demands more evidence for what actually happened, and significant injury or death would qualify.
You know, it's a hell of a lot easier to carve a relatively flat channel over a long distance than it is to build lock after lock and to maintain all those pumps...
And as for cutting one's country in half, that's what bridges and tunnels are for.
I don't think that the Chinese will succeed for the same reasons why the French and other European nations didn't succeed initially in Panama. The Panama canal took a national interest to construct, not a corporate interest, and was driven in large part by our nation having two coasts with a whole lot of distance in between, and by our "Manifest Destiny" doctrine. Simple economic interests operated by a corporation may not be able to pull it off, especially if that corporation is there only for that purpose, as problems along the way will make it very hard to raise capital when investors don't think that their investment will pay off.
If they do manage to pull it off, great! There will be uses for the Panama Canal even if it receives less traffic than the new one, decades from now when it's finished.
Between the shoddy code, poor manufacturing tolerances, poor quality control, and dependence on power sources that they cannot protect, computers and devices will not take over in my lifetime even if there was an intent to do so. That doesn't even get into design that requires humans to perform maintenance tasks, flick switches, or otherwise do things that keep the systems up that the machines might not even know about.
I thought that the point was that the floors don't support each other, that all of the floors were suspended off of the central column and outer structural walls, so one effectively designs the building top-down, the top of the central column has to support the mass of the top, and as one proceeds down the floors, the central column has to support the mass of the floor of its section plus the mass of the rest of the building above, all of the way down...
Biological life shows that having a closed, self-sustaining complex system perpetuating itself by mere flow of energy and raw materials is not only conceivable but actually a reasonable proposition.
But it's amorphous and has no real goal, and is fragile and has a tendency toward chaos rather than order. It also functions because it has no designer, as opposed to the ordered design of a factory or other ostensibly-closed system that has a specific purpose.
Okay, then who'll service the machine that services the machines?
And if it's a machine, who or what will service that machine?
And that machine?
All serious aside, my original comment was intended partially as a joke. Obviously the better the original design of a machine the less service it will need in its intended lifespan, but as humans that design things are not infalliable, there inevitably will be things that are missed. We sent the most expensive mirror in human history at the time of its construction into space in a flawed state, to the point that the rest of the instrument had to be redesigned around the faulty mirror.
Will it automate servicing the machines that build the other machines? Those grease fittings, bearings, valves, flow meters, circuit breakers, tool dies, taps, drills, and other things don't service themselves you know...
The Government also plans to amend the Broadcasting Act next year, to ensure that websites which are hosted overseas but report on Singapore news are brought under the licensing framework as well.
Heh. Good luck with that.
Even if the Singaporean pipeline to the rest of the Internet were filtered like China's, there's no practical way to censor every possible news outlet that might choose to report on Singapore unless they take a whitelist approach and censor everything but the bit they're willing to let through.
Heh. Remember "PCCHIPS" and "Amptron"? Not only were they using cheapass discrete components, but they assembled badly and designed badly. And on top of that, I worked for an idiot at the time that bought total junk parts cheap to build PCs, I think that he was buying stuff that had been RMA returned. He was tearing his hair out on warranty repair costs (ie labor), but he was angry every time he stepped up to Gigabyte or Abit...
People don't even do escrow when they buy a house. But they should. But I guess the real estate lobby wouldn't like that at all.
Huh?
Last house I bought, we put down earnest money under the conditions that we would not back out of the deal unless we found something seriously wrong with the property during the sale process, and this being a short-sale committed us to the seller's bank's timeline of 120 days. Had we found something wrong during inspection then the deal could have been called off and we could have gotten our money back. During both our process and during a normal contractual period more like a month, the buyer has all of the opportunity they need to bring in whatever inspectors they feel are appropriate or are legally required by the jurisdiction. We had a traditional home inspector and an electrician visit the house, in addition to the appraiser. We also took the unorthodox step of talking directly with the seller several times, to learn when they'd done various maintenance tasks to the house, like the elastomeric roof coating.
I guess that if we were cash buyers we wouldn't have had to necessarily go through the inspection process, but we probably would anyway.
Who even said that it was self-destruct? Maybe it was mishandled by the forensic computer professional and they accidently corrupted it...
If the first step on investigating the drives wasn't to find other identical drives and to do a sector-by-sector full disk copy from the original followed by archiving the original in the Evidence File, continuing to work only on the copy, then that's sloppy investigative work on something of this scale.

As far as I have observed once developing critical-thinking skills, "lead by example," is a myth.

NASA apparently has something of an unofficial LEGO requirement for rovers and other space probes and space-borne assemblies.
In short, if you can't build it in LEGO or build something close to what you have in mind in LEGO, you probably won't get far in getting it funded.
Heh. Good luck with that.
Even if the Singaporean pipeline to the rest of the Internet were filtered like China's, there's no practical way to censor every possible news outlet that might choose to report on Singapore unless they take a whitelist approach and censor everything but the bit they're willing to let through.
Maybe NASA should take the lead on future Mars missions when it comes to developing safety for our Astronauts...
