1. Big business already knows EVERYTHING about you. Every credit card purchase and WHAT you purchased, where and when is recorded and stuffed in a database, usually some place like Axiom or some other data warehouse.
2. The gubmint has access to the same databases.
3. Deep privacy is no longer possible if you have ever gone into debt, rented an apartment, or done any number of things that involve Large Systems.
4. Shallow privacy can be kept by avoiding Social Networks. But it is fungible and variable.
5. Photography and Videography as a profession are pretty well toast. When a fucking phone takes better video than a $100,000 camera did 30 years ago, the Gig Is Up. Content creation is trivial and a short ride to the poor house, unless you move to LA and suck enough dick to get into the film industry.
6. If you will notice most of the most famous and popular photographs of the past year were taken by amateurs on crap gear.
In short: Only get into a creative profession if it is something you absolutely MUST do, as in, inner necessity I will go insane if I can't do this MUST do. Otherwise, just shoot videos of kittens, post it on youtube and collect the rent.
'Now, when you encounter encounters the letters T-A-J-M-A-H-A-L on any Web page, the computers suddenly start understanding that this document is about the monument, and this one is about the musician, and this one is about a restaurant,' Singhal says. 'That 'aboutness' is foundational to building the search of tomorrow.'"
Why aren't the U.S. and Europe exerting more diplomatic pressure on these tax havens that are effectively stealing from the U.S. and European treasuries by allowing profits that did not result from activities in Bermuda or the Cayman Islands to be recorded as occurring there?"
Why? Hmmm... Lemme think.... Oh, that's right - these giant corporations OWN the fucking government as they pay for the politician's races. And many of these politicians end up sitting on boards of directors for these same corporations after their stint in congress where they make the connections that enable these huge corporations to extract profits.
it's just another way for the pharmaceutical industry to remove money from your wallet. Perhaps ADHD is just a reasonable and rational response to a completely insane world of hyper-focus. Perhaps we should all be chasing buffalo and living in tipis because, it's better. Maybe depression is a correct response to a world gone mad - a civilisation hell bent of murdering the biosphere. Maybe mental health, isn't.
But that's not why Sweden's being so tough on him in prison. Authorities believe he may have played a role in the hacking of Logica, a Swedish technology company with ties to the country's tax authorities. They haven't charged him with any crimes yet in that case, however."
Oh, I see- on the SUSPICION he MIGHT have done something to fuck with your tax system, he deserves solitary confinement. Has he been charged with such? NO. Has he been convicted of such? NO. They just think he did it. ASSHOLES. FUCK YOU. Get off your knees and stop sucking the MPAA and RIAA's dick.
The fool who said we'd have sentient computers by 2020, and made that prediction back when if you left a blank floppy in a PC it would blue screen. How much snake oil does that guy have left?
Hill and Cox's equations suggest, for example, that as a spaceship traveling at super-light speeds accelerated faster and faster, it would lose more and more mass, until at infinite velocity, its mass became zero.
AFAIK, all actual experiments point out that baryonic matter GAINS mass as it approaches C. Again, AFAIK, experiment always trumps theory, so explain to me how, after 100 years of confirmation, I some how missed the fact that matter loses mass as it gains velocity? I must have been on a vacation this passed century, someplace called REALITY.
Boo hoo. It's Youtube. Get over it. If you make enough of a noise, you invite the Streisand effect. Don't go blaring about it. Just fuck them over. Like copy THEIR stuff into a new video and make fun of them. When they go "wah wah wah" and have it taken down, pull the same thing - declare that it isn't. The law isn't set up to help YOU, it's set up to help major corporations extract wealth from the working class. Claiming DMCA with idiots like that is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. You're not going to win, unless you are very fast and very good at throwing knives. Since you've piddled away a lot of time on this already, fast isn't going to help, so you need to nuke the fuckers. Don't advertise it, just destroy them. And then: get over yourself. Anything on the web is fair game. That's the new rule: it's a game of TEGWAR.
No. Let's say this thing's warp field is roughly spherical (for sake of discussion and simplicity). It is at point A and occupies X volume of space. IT has to get to point B. Between point A and B is 1 light year. That's 9.4605284 × 10^15 meters. Let's say the frontal area in the direction the bubble is headed is 100 sq m. So, that mean if there is 1 H atom per cubic meter, then between A and B there is 9.4605284 × 10^17 atoms of H. Now, that's less than a litre of water's worth of H, but that's not the point.
The problem is, each atom has to be MOVED through space as it is warped by the warp drive. The atom isn't going to disappear. It is not nothing. Space has no mass, so it can be warped at will (and is, usually by gravitation). So, if you warp the space so as to displace it and its contents to move this vehicle, and you do it at >c velocity, then you have to move that atom of H out of the way at >c velocity, which cannot be done. They've tried. A lot. As the velocity increases, the mass of the atom increases and the energy required to move it increases. To move the space the atom is in, is (comparatively) trivial. To move the H atom? Not so much.
Therefore, warp drive is impossible - not because it won't warp space or move super fast through it - it's the fact that space isn't empty - that's the problem. And what space is full of doesn't like to move.

Or, type:
taj mahal
and then follow that with:
"monument" or
"musician" or
"restaurant"
Depending on what you're fucking looking for.

Duh.
TFTFY
Fuck You. Assholes.
agreed. tres bullcrap.
Fine. And when the photos show up? Then what?
Fuck You.
Is now an arboretic cage. . Chop it down. Break it up. Do something new. .
Yet.
FUCK YOU.
FUCK YOU.
Hire minorities, and promote them. Even if they don't play golf with you.
I want to touch you - you're leading me on - I know it.
thank you.
