the cameras by force. Don't put up with it. Get off your fat ass and do something. If you don't tell anyone, (as in NOBODY) then the odds of getting caught are actually fairly small. You are as enslaved as you let yourselves be enslaved.
I get where you're coming from. We are rapidly approaching the reverse of the above where those whom are wholly reliant upon the government for their subsistence will continue to vote to retain (and in fact, increase) that subsidy without regard for the financial feesibility of such a vote.
Oh you mean Lockheed / Grumman? And Raytheon? And Electric Boat? And the rest of the Military Industrial Complex?
and did these oscillations always occur? If not, when did they start? When the ice ages happened, or was that a product of Panama coming out of the ocean and breaking the pacific-atlantic current? Real scientists stand by their work and don't hide as anonymous cowards.
You are a fucking idiot. They have 70 employees. The average wage i nthe USA is about $40,000. 70 x 40k = $2,800,000. And that's just to hit payroll, and doesn't include the CEO's pay, which I would think is probably well north of $40k. Now go choke yourself you pathetic troll.
"The answer is probably a combination of naivete and desperation.'"
Uh huh. So Stratfor is such a bunch of ignorant unworthy losers that "Fortune 500 companies and international government agencies" (wikipedia) have funnelled millions of dollars to these people because they are so useless.
TFA is classic right wing spin. And not even very good at it. Like Stratfor.
Her: "What looks like a bear, acts like and bear and IS a bear?"
Me: "Gee honey bubbles, I have no idea... I know I know - A BEAR!!!!"
Her: "Nuh uh!"
Me: "No? Then what looks like a bear and acts like a bear and IS a bear that ISN'T a Bear?"
Her: "A BERENSTAIN BEAR!!!!"
My daughter, the genius. If the CIA is a bear, Stratfor is a Berenstain Bear. Kind of like how a Southern Mansion is a Southern Mansion, but a Southern Mansion Style McMansion in the exurbs of San Diego is a caricature of a Mansion. Both comfy places to live, the McMansions just fake and cheezy and third rate as fuckall.
they burn a teeeeny tiny amount of electricity in standby - think like a a wrist watch - it can use a tiny battery for years. They only start burning juice when their accelerometer kicks in when the car moves. It then asks where it is (GPS co-ordinates) phones those in and then every (x) seconds repeats that -
Box to GPS: "Where Am I?"
GPS to Box:(X.Y.)
Box: [send X.Y. to bigbrother@fbi.gov]
In between, it's "on" but only needs to transmit every (x) seconds, and even then, not for very long. Transmitting is the big energy burner. The really good ones can last over a month assuming the car is used about an hour every day. They go back to "sleep" mode after about 5 minutes of motionlessness.
You can buy them yourself. The good one cost about $200 - 300 and you have to pay for access to the data to be sent to you and/or access to the mashup where the data is plotted on Google maps. Don't ask why I know about this stuff...
You know - all those poor bastards jumping from windows in China making iPads and iPhones other assorted pieces of iJunk? How about giving the working class their value back?
Obviously, they do a pretty good job - how about giving them 5x or 10x as much money and a 40 hour work week? Now THERE'S a great idea.
Every day I hope Harper chokes on his own tongue. But you are correct - the post you commented on is full of crap. Which is unfortunate, because there is so much else to crucify Harper with...
You buy ACCESS to data, and the moment the supplier doesn't like you, some obscure line in the EULA is found and used to deny the User ACCESS to the Data. But the user never actually owns the Data, in that the data is resident on machines of their possession.
GOOD LIST! I would add that there are other aspects as well-
There's a "horizontal" distinction in testing, by colour: Black Box, grey box, and white box.
Black box is what the post above is doing - everything "under the hood" is not to be looked at, only the results. This is the easiest form of testing. It can be automated using scripts, if the UI's field order is stable. I like Black Box - you just get to "fuck shit up". My fave was to copy and paste the Unabomber manifesto into everything and watch the fireworks. Also, in the early stages, Black Box can have a lot of say in the design, because if the UI is crap, the black box tester will notice immediately - workflow is retarded, or there are too many clicks to a result, or similar issues. Also, Black box usualy entails running the daily build server, and doing a daily test of the build to see if it meets minimum criteria. If it doesn,t then the programmers are informed to not use that build and stick with the old one until it passes muster.
Grey Box is in between - you're looking at the code when you can, and you're developing test scenarios for scripting engines of other systems. For example: you need to test load balancing - so you need to know where in the code stuff goes in and out and how the server takes the data, processes it, and sends it out - that takes a bit of programming - the programmer can write that for you - and then it's your job to suss out what the results mean. Also, when something breaks, you need to find where in the code it's broken. How to fix it is not your job or problem - but you need to be able to say "this is where it divides by zero and causes the computer to puke blood".
White Box is where you're managing low level testing of each software component (after the programmer runs it to see if it works at all) and if it doesn't work, you need to be able to flag it properly and send it back saying "it broke here because" kind of stuff. I find white box even more stressful and difficult than actual programming. You have to be a "programmer's programmer". Pain inth e ass, and rarely worth the money or hassle.
I like doing black box testing. It's a blast. I love to just fuck shit up. It's a trip. It's a bit like doing detective work. Grey Box is more intense, but can also be fun, dpending on the app you're testing and the team you're with. IF they hired by the "No Asshole Rule" then grey box can be rewarding - it pays better than black box and it often includes a lot of black box.
That's how it was when I left software dev in 2005. From what I gather it hasn't changed that much - it's more automated than before, but only after the app is mature enough to withstand it.
Load up every movie you've got on a drive. Tell a friend to buy one of them new fangled terabyte drives - that's what? $69 at Best Buy? Then connect your drive to his computer and drive. Click and drag contents from your drive to his and vice versa. Crack a bottle or two of wine, hang out, have a great afternoon and soon, you have more movies and shows than you could plausibly watch in years.
It was called Sneakernet back in the day. There's rumblings about a new kind of "Alexandrian" (i.e. universal) Library - only this time it's totally decentralised and offline and untraceable. How that can pan out, god only knows, but it's the logical conclusion to the graspings of the **AA, the pathetically corrupt governments, and the increasingly policed and threatened internet.
It used to be "never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of floppy disks." Now it's "never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with hard drives..."

Just in time to see someone who ISN'T in the system scoop the space from you.
Ummm, the UUSR hasn't been in business for like, um, 20 years? You need to get out more.
Excellent. Thanks you. You deserve a massive mod up.
