Trump has being trying to break into the Russian development market but hasn't been able to strike any deals and there was some beauty pageant crap as well. Obviously if you are going to do a property development in Russian you are going to have to wheel and deal with Russian banks and those relationships take time to build. Major commercial construction projects do not happen over night and take many years to get going and working with a bank that knows the market is essential.
Priorities also count. So race to Mars or race to build a city on the Moon. You might find that the city on the moon is far more capable of supporting Mars exploration, than trying to do it from earth (less gravity and no atmosphere). So should NASA focus on the bleeding edge always or should they also start to focus more on building the infrastructure to give others the opportunities to make the most of that space infrastructure that NASA builds, say a landing and launch facility on the moon, Mars ship assembly, fuel generation etc.
Look at it this way, people say we can't afford, too much debt but you build space infrastructure and you add new assets to offset debts, like the entire surface of the moon or the entire planet Mars and of course a whole bunch of major asteroids and shit we ain't even out of the solar system yet, they can dump debt on all the new planets we find, those colonists will be born in hock up to their eyeballs but they will be out there exploring the galaxy.
Settling space means creating trillions in new assets and the value of those assets would be bound to the cost of getting there, that exclusivity value and only the best going means the best have something to aim for. Are you good enough to set foot on another world or not?
Well, the laws need to change and news should be legislatively protected. Say it on the news and you should be able to prove it in a court of law, fail and depending upon that nature of the failure, either a fine or a custodial sentence. News and it's profession should be protected not just from attacks from authorities but also being protected from becoming a propaganda channel. So a licened 'News Broadcaster' and licensed 'News journalist', get busted lying lose your licence and go to jail, don't like the risk, don't apply for the licence.
If you have the resources you can built it, cost is an illusion created by greed (I can afford it by my rules, you can not afford it by my rules, don't agree, I will kill you either slowly in prison or fast with bullets). The access to resources is completely arbitrary in the cost model, can have millions of times more than you need but greed says some dickwad owns it all and you can not afford to buy it (perversely enough the same bullshit rules say you can have absolutely no resources and the same dick wad can claim they have them on paper).
Can we afford the resources, obviously we can, can we afford the greed, obviously we can no longer afford that, simply to wasteful (this brought to you by multiple mansion in multiple countries, fleets of super ego cars, mega yachts, the race for the biggest private jet, enough jewellery to pave the streets and enough make-up to repaint the entire world, now what's the worth in that, seriously, feeding the egos of dickheads male or female or humanity becoming a galactic species). So can we afford the future or can we continue to feed the egos of morons.
Technically speaking also there is the problem of criminal negligence and the culpability that arises from that ie you knew about the fault, you did not tell me and I suffered as a result, that fault now lies with those who kept the risk secret from me. Now that really brushes up super close to wilful culpable criminal negligence. Face the reality, software programmers have got away with a shit bucket ton of stuff they should never have got away with and the law is catching up to them.
That story is actually an early propaganda plant for limited martial laws due the the unpopularity of the establishment selected president and the blatantly phony election process. They are expecting a major disturbance across the political spectrum from left to right and are establishing the early line for the necessity of martial law to enforce the power of a corrupt establishment plant. No jokes in this what so ever, they have created a climate for chaos and just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to force control over the majority. Push to hard and it breaks and chaos, they do not care because how much they cripple society as it is prison for them. They won't let go though and they will kill to keep power, hence the stories will start coming out about major existential threats in order to justify martial law, so that activists can be targeted at silenced, journalists who do not toe the line rounded up and of course any protests brutally stomped out of existence with the acceptance of firing upon protesters (the us government has done it before, this time dressed up with, we heard gun shots before they fired and guns planted around the scenes of mass corrupt government shootings). You are now running like mad on a log floating on water and do not know it. Keep on top of the situation our you will fall and get crushed, really is not so funny any more.
Yep, I know that defence, it's the "my lying ears and eyes defence" and I usually ignore that defence because which is easier to believe, my ears and eyes or your lies and references leading to references which lead back to the original reference. That laugh is the laugh of a clinical narcissist who does not empathise with any one and hence an embarrassing outburst covered over with a lie of I did not mean it or I was joking and snopes looks like shite now.
In this case the actual stereotype is personalised services can and will always be abused. So typical uber abuses, preffered drivers who pay kickbacks get the better rides (longer trips, better customers), and disliked drivers get shit, short risky trips. Customers can be singled out for abuse with personally inflated prices (did not think of that huh, you personally could be set to pay permanently inflated prices), just for them, or the worst drivers.
They are grumpy old idiot box addicts, they have a gun in their heads, keeping the drooling and watching and drooling and watching and drooling and watching. They will keep paying extra until they buck the kicket and for many that is not too far in the future. Pay TV like the majority of it viewers doomed bwa ha ha.
So tablet good for media consumption, hmmm? You left out one market segment, likely on purpose, people who bought tablets, found they had just purchased a useless toy and will likely never buy another one. So the tablet squeezed in between a smart big screen TV (no comparisson in viewing quality or comfort, craps all over tablet) and the phablet (portability craps all over the tablet and soon to come out enhanced output glasses, a big screen TV in your pocket).
Reality is the only real value of tablets (due to lack of keyboards and limits in screen size) advanced remote controls for big screen smart TVs and that is pretty much it, in the domestic market.
Well, 'er', yeah that's 100% correct. Just like we expect government to protect us from crap doctors or crap lawyers or crap teachers or crap dentists or crap pilots (I have the right to evaluate my own pilot, I don't need some stinking licence to tell me whether or not they can fly a plane properly https://www.google.com.au/sear..., same goes for licences plane mechanics, who needs them, I assume you rate them 0 out of 10 just before you hit the ground;DDD).
Yes the government should go after employers who put their employees lives at risk, who do not pay them, who abuse their employees and that includes custodial sentences, fines and putting them out of business permanently.
They have learned from M$, if it works properly who will buy the upgrade. All you need to do is spend enough on advertising to blame the end users. You know, did not contract it out to them, end user programming error, the missile program caused the problems, you did not use the rght fuel additives, that's not a bug that a feature and the best of them all (although it is not an M$ one - yet), the Russians did it and if they did not do it, then definitely the Chinese did it. Never forget, if you do not buy f-35s the terrorists win (M$ did actually do that one, tsk, tsk, tsk) or if you do not buy f-35s regime change via the war industry controlled main stream media (M$ did that via lobbyists buy our stuff or else we will campaign against you).
F-35 designed not to work on purpose, paid for upgrades and eventually replacement, HA, HA, HA.
More like spend more money trying to keep up or misinformation designed to hide the actual product. In this case not so much the destructive area but more likely a temporary orbital platform designed to launch warheads. So launch the missile, the platform achieves orbit and then starts dropping off gliding warheads as it orbits. Not quite a satellite launch system (breaking the rules) but certainly close to it. This being the real driver behind the size. So how many small warheads can it hold and progressively launch over a wider area and that destructive measure might be more tied to being able to spread that destruction, as the launch platform orbits and fires off warhead after warhead, likely over more than one orbit, so targets not hit on first orbit can be hit on the second or third, this allowing multiple launch platforms to work in conjunction, distributing targeting load.
Lame, the RT plug was just bait. Look Google news I tried but my god it was crap, so special news story about some actresses confession, lame shite I know, but curious lets see how Google news goes, just some bullshit new makeup line and piece of shit Google news sends it to me as an important news story. It takes forever to clean Google News of Android once you have allowed it to infest google now, especially when you are pissed off (I will never ever touch Google news - fuck em). Main stream American news is just hopeless and I have simply given up on them, plenty of others to choose from and it's just too much hassle, read the story, are the telling the truth this time, check it further and nope, just a lie. I really looked forward to that expose of Putin too, you know stick it to corrupt politicians all over the glove, fantastic and Putin is bound to have done some crappy stuff but on no look above the headline and it's some crappy US main stream media channel, fuck, waste of time, just ignored it and moved. Maybe that story will reappear from some reliable source and that will be fantastic, I want to see corrupt politicians from all over the globe raked across the coals, make no mistake.
I am into the Global Democratic Reformation and one of the important elements of that is active pursuit og every single corrupt politicians as well as those that bribed them and throwing them all behind bars. This not just as a local effort but as a truly global effort to reform democracy across the planet. My religion, freedom, democracy and justice, to be on line with the other reformations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... You need truth to do it and the more liars you throw behind bars the better whether Russian or American or Australian or Icelandic or where ever the fuck they come from.
That's not even the worst of it. Consider you have your payment card, let's call it a permiso card. Your bank contacts you and is in dispute with the balance on your permiso card and shuts your account until the dispute is resolved. Now that bank is tied into all others and your permiso card is down. So drive to the bank, whoops can not do that, car is in a car park and until you pay you can not retrieve your car, no problem pocket change, oh wait no pocket change. So crap, call a friend to take you to bank, whoops nope, your mobile phone account is tied to your permiso account and is shut down until the dispute is resolved. Public transport, pay for that with pocket change, nope, no pocket change. You are on foot, can not make a call, can not collect your car, you can not eat or drink, you can not call family or friends, you can try walking a couple of hundred miles to the bank to fight or you can call them, the only call that now works on your permiso connected phone apologise and grovel and if the accept your politics, fine and if not, well you are well and truly fucked. http://www.spanishcentral.com/... definitely a slave card god damn awful.
Problem with smear tactics now, what's the point, every accepts the corporations will lie about everything ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... Right there John Oliver that pommy shite stain selling his soul for corporate propaganda without batting an eyelid. Main stream media has become completely and utterly useless.
The US political system has not so much shifted to the right as jumped to a parrallel track. So a corporatists scale of those who want to steal everything on the left and those who want to kill everyone on the right. The scale is then a balance of how much they want to steal and how much they want to kill, weird as fuck (seriously it's the reality). The Russian stuff on US main stream media, well, boy who cried wolf much, seriously US main stream media guys, you bullshitted so much in the US elections, no one gives a crap about what ever you say, lies, truth, fairy stories, aliens, 'Anonymous' takeover, what ever - DON'T BELIEVE YOU. Sorry but it is your own fault. As far as I am concerned US main stream media might as well report Putin as the alien love child reincarnation of Rasputin (note the similarity in names) and I am still more fucking likely to believe that, than anything else what so ever reported by US main stream media.
When it comes to reading any story on US main stream media it just means, hmm interesting yarn, let me just check that story else where to see of there is any reality what so ever in the story and that's only if I could be bothered with the story. What normally happens read the head line, read the first paragraph check the source, oh US main stream media and forget what I just read a move on (if using stumble upon thumb down the story, simply not worth getting any story from US main stream media as it means having to check that story else where - independent media sources et al or from RT https://www.rt.com/).
I have no idea how US main stream media will rebuild it's reputation because it's shit and as sych they are simply not worth bothering with. Blatant in your face corporate censorship and propaganda and those corporate ass holes pretty much thought they would get away with if forever, fuck em, with Rupert Murdoch as the lead arse hole. Pretty much prove it in court or shut the fuck up (don't blame me for that flood of bullshit). https://www.youtube.com/watch?... they will have to add a new line for US main stream media.
The offer would be nice if you had a broken mac from this page https://microsoftsurfacetrade.... and they still allowed a trade in. Not that there is any worth in that surface but hey broken mac get a shitface and sell it, I'd bet it would be close run thing on whether you would make a profit on the hugely overpriced surface. Then again why are they so desperate for working MACs, what is going on at Redmond with the softies;D.
I hope it is not that idiot who decided they could save $5 per phone by eliminating user removable batteries and boost sales by killing future resale of used Samsung phones, that dude cost them billions and will likely to try to keep their job by trying to keep fixed batteries (I wonder how many decades it will take for the tiny savings in going from a user replaceable battery to a fixed battery compared to the losses created by doing that, if ever).
It has nothing to do with tracking it has to do with freedom in a capitalist society. With cash in pocket you are free in a capitalist society without cash you are asking permission to exist. You buy nothing without cash, you only ask permission and a distant faceless corporation decides whether to grant you permission to access the essentials of life or starve you to death.
Capitalism and cash or capitalism must go. I am not going to be a fucking slave to corporations asking 24/7/365 for permission to survive. Cook is an idiot.
You can not do it, if the vote is anonymous. That is the real danger, that stupid selfie thing is a direct threat against democracy. Allow selfies and you allow selfies to be forced. Vote the way you are told to or else and I want to see the selfie. How many freaks would force that on their family members or on others. Get caught taking a selfie vote and you should spend a week behind bars. The threat against democracy is extreme and should be punished.
Ain't no easy scan there pal, hack that device and you have a bomb strapped to you and I can assure the scan you receive will not be easy at all. One thing I will never want is a M$ device scanning me and letting other people know whether or not they should open fire on me, real world BSOD, definitely not something to ever trust M$ with or any slimy off shoots of it.
So what you are saying is M$ can basically shove it where you wont allow their probe to go;). The brand damage they are doing is mind boggling, so perverse, so uncool, just plain nasty. They are going to have real trouble selling anything into the retail market and it will only get worse. They are going to have to buy another company, in order to use their name for retail sales, to try to get the MS stank off anything they sell, what is going through their minds, I do not know, the sheer unmitigated arrogance.
Woah there pardner. I went to an outlet, they said we own this and watch this commercial and you can have it, exchange of labour for the product. So I provided them with the use of my time, something I consider to be of valuable worth and in turn they let me download the free copy they promised me in return for my time. Consider anyone, absolutely any can buy a copy of that content and should they so choose sell it by what ever means possible and to whom ever possible, keep in mind the actual real value of that content as an individual copy, say a $1 (most of the other costs being advertising, distribution, retail premises, sales staff, profit margin, profit margin, profit margin - more than one bite at that particular cherry, which they in fact claim to be avoiding and hence only one profit margin instead of three, making it cheaper so they claim).
So they can not charge for theft or even copyright infringement (well not you, the other individual definitely), just the very slightest bit of tax evasion, you did not pay income tax for IRS percentage of the revenue earned, the worth of the content provided. Well you really did not get paid, as you copy is infringing and worthless and you can not sell it.

Woah there pardner. I went to an outlet, they said we own this and watch this commercial and you can have it, exchange of labour for the product. So I provided them with the use of my time, something I consider to be of valuable worth and in turn they let me download the free copy they promised me in return for my time. Consider anyone, absolutely any can buy a copy of that content and should they so choose sell it by what ever means possible and to whom ever possible, keep in mind the actual real value of that content as an individual copy, say a $1 (most of the other costs being advertising, distribution, retail premises, sales staff, profit margin, profit margin, profit margin - more than one bite at that particular cherry, which they in fact claim to be avoiding and hence only one profit margin instead of three, making it cheaper so they claim).
So they can not charge for theft or even copyright infringement (well not you, the other individual definitely), just the very slightest bit of tax evasion, you did not pay income tax for IRS percentage of the revenue earned, the worth of the content provided. Well you really did not get paid, as you copy is infringing and worthless and you can not sell it.
