They are not vague by accident, they are vague on purpose. How does that work, easy, one group has millions to pay for lawyers and vague laws work for them in a corrupt interpretive dance and the rest, the 99% are persecuted and prosecuted by those same laws whilst they look at others who can afford get away with far worse crimes. The entitled rich paid to create an interpretive legal system they can readily abuse and even when finally prosecuted the interpretive penalties allow them to pay a smaller fine than the profits they generated.
It is pretty much sharia laws for the high priest of capitalism to interpret in any way that suits them,"In God We Trust", where God is the funny money of US for private profit Federal Reserve.
The whole idea is nucking futs. So how many browsers tabs do you want people to open in the background, they pay no attention to in order to stream ads. WTF is going on with marketing insanity where it is no longer about selling products but just selling advertising to, pretty much no longer generates sufficient sales to justify that advertising. It seems most internet advertising is targeted at advertisers convincing them to buy more and more internet advertisements. All this in a collapsing market where the middle class, the spenders are shrinking and getting poorer each and every day.
Actually all a very smart business marketing strategy and not just the work of Elon but a whole team. Start with a high end vehicle to generate higher returns to start paying for the development investment, then add in lower priced models one at a time, that use numbers instead of high return to pay for the investment. It is simply much more sound, then charging high prices for early customers and then selling the exact same thing at lower prices for smarter people with more brains than ego who simply waited. So lower end targeted vehicles rather than just dropping price of earlier models, filling in high volume market gaps. You can bet a fourth model is being designed, a more compact cheaper vehicle. A good product would be a two door compact SUV, where the back half of the passenger compartment can either carry cargo or people ie the ideal everyday commuter vehicle. With the other three models paying for production development and well as domestic energy storage, it makes the peoples electric vehicle more fiscally viable. Overall a very smart business strategy.
Grammar Nazi's why, easy, creative jealously. So the typical tactic when confronted by obviously greater creativity, is the attempt to style that creativity by disrupting it, by pointing out errors. I'll bet a bunch of the self publish on Amazon as well;).
What did they buy though. Did that money really by us, then why did we not get any of it. Fuck skype management, since when are end users always up for sale. Prove to M$ they bought nothing, drop skype, the faster you drop it, the faster M$ will stop monitoring your calls for marketing information and the sooner a better client comes to the fore. End users get nothing each and every time they get sold more akin to service slaves than anything else. Not happy drop the service, another will rise.
If you are young enough you can pay for a cheaper degree in Australia and if you pass, you'll have pretty much no problem staying and becoming a citizen. Be warned right wing Republican bible fundamentalist's don't really enjoy it that much and especially do not like the high wage of labour types or the lack of menials. So I suppose if you notice the insanity that won't be a problem for you. There is also (State assisted migration if you are interested look it up) for certain jobs at certain times. Be prepared for a waiting list, but if you make it, have fun.
Psychopathic need for unlimited profits mean low price has nothing to do with anything, they will charge the maximum price possible whether by cabal control or establishing a monopoly, they will run the worst possible service they can get away with, the will provide the worst cheap arse support they can, they will harvest every bit of information they can about you and sell it to all comers and that includes data sold for extortion purposes. Never to forget espionage agents from various countries getting in, just like the high level Google executive exposing himself as a Mossad agent (you have to be careful doing that shit with investor money, it is fraud and stealing when costs are generated without profit to engineer criminal revolutions in other countries, it is also morally reprehensible).
Yes otherwise how else would crime prosper. Not that digital currencies stop the big in of town from stealing billions, obviously digitising currency enables that, otherwise semi-trailer loads of loot would have to be trucked around to disappear like they did in Iraq. Let's be honest the three leading fiscal exchange activities of bitcoin are tax evasion, organised crime and espionage (the US government puts to use all the bitcoins they confiscate, especially the ones they pretend to sell).
M$ owns the windows 10 desktop, of course they would allow blocking ads in the browser. Blocking ads on the desktop, well, yeah can bet that's one thing that will never happen, not your OS, not your computer.
It not a quarter as bad as it seems. M$'s penchant to count CPUs means multicores count more than once. Never to forget they do tend to quite routinely lie in their marketing. The forced advertising stream as it develops should become interesting. 'Windows is Watching' the new Apple marketing phrase.
Solution is easy, test for psychopathy and exclude them from all positions of control, governance or influence. In the mean time, wasn't a cashless society meant to stop crime but surely they were not sneaking around with crates of cash, so cashless in reality made it easier for them. So who are the real culprits, who really facilitates crime and corruption, who are the real money handlers and changers, why of course the 'TAX HAVENS', time to declare economic war, real harsh vindictive and economy crippling war. Those tax havens need to be destroyed for the crime against humanity they have actively facilitated.
Unfortunately to reflect the true reality of the nature of the corrupt individuals involved you statement should have read "I'll bet you a dozen 14 year old hookers, male or female", they really are that sick and that is exactly how the ensure the control of the politicians they buy. This with the backing of the corrupted espionage/military industrial complex, the core of which now appears to reside in NATO over which the US government had largely lost control, they were doing pretty much what ever they felt like be purposefully feeding false information up the line and striving to create chaos and conflict. Once the scandal truly breaks, oh my, will the current line up of the rich and famous shrink.
From an external view point the Federal Bureau of Investigation is the only real US police force. County mounties, the law en-FORCE-rs are all too often out of control, trigger happy, lard arse morons. Seriously, all local law enforcement should be disbanded in favour of state based policing overseen by Federal investigators to ensure more uniform policing across a state and equal access to investigatory powers and police oversight across the state. Sure the FBI fucks up on occasion and most of that is caused by ill-informed political appointees seeking to politicise the offices of the FBI, really dangerous and crazy stuff that should be exposed and prosecuted.
Reality is online extremism is not really all that much of a problem. Most countries have laws in place to cover certain kinds of speech and on line extremism is pretty much like criminals carrying around a sign stating their crimes and expecting not to be arrested. You are kind of meant to allow it to happen and then investigate and arrest it creators and prosecute them not only for those specific speech crimes (keep in mind, money is speech and paying someone to kill someone else is just free 'er' paid for speech, also not to forget credit card fraud). As part of that you shut down the web site. So either they do commit real crimes and you prosecute them or they do not and in reality they are just one amongst a billion others. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves.
When it comes to offshore sites, well, that is imported and should come under import control laws and also can be extended to other countries export controls. Should countries not be doing enough to control export of criminal digital transmissions they should be subject to bans on other exports, until they in term seek to control the digital transmissions being export from the networks.
So to promote nuclear they need to set a clear warning, a radical tipping point from that point on where serious coastal population harm will occur. So real science is needed on permafrost https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... because when that start significantly thawing it will release a massive amount of methane a much worse green house gas which will cause a very significant short term (relatively short versus CO2 as it breaks down) surge in warming ("traps up to 100 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide within a 5 year period, and 72 times more within a 20 year period." http://www.onegreenplanet.org/...".
So science on what that tipping point is and how close to it we are because those forecast of long term average sea level rise do not take that major surge into account at all. So a mass release of methane will cause a major short term tempreture surge, resulting in massive melting and sea level rise will surge before the methane breaks down and we go back to averages. You could end up with a metre rise in sea levels in just one season, depending upon how quick that permafrost melt is and how large that methane surge is. Could be lucky, if it is large enough it could ignite and it's just CO2 but that atmospheric fuel air bomb could cause a real huge problem all on it's own, mega kaboom.
Not just employers, let's not forget religious fundamentalists, political fanatics or power tripping individuals within government authorities. Then you also have petty mysogionists and misandrists. Never forget psychopaths on the prowl wanting to find individuals to stalk individuals for any imagined slight.
Mass surveillance does not just silence the minority it also isolates and silences the majority, turning them from a majority via that silencing into the tiniest of minorities, the seeding of the idea that you are the only one that thinks that way, the wrong way ie typical main stream media.
Actually there is only one way to stop crime. That is accepting the reality of the situation, crime is the result of poor breeding choices, poor parenting skills and poor educational opportunities. Seriously want to end crime then those three sides of the crime triangle need to be tackled, fail at any one and crime will persist and victims will continue to be created.
So is this really about ending crime or just more rich versus poor laws. Rich get privacy and the rich get to invade the privacy of the poor. Think the wrong thing based upon analysis of all your activities, any anti-rich thoughts and be turned into a non person in a cash society, loose control as a result and get 'stop resisting' to death.
Lets see someone like the SEC demand full continuous access to corporate books first. with a tie in to the IRS and of course the DOJ. Serious about ending crime, lets tackle major corporate crime with the greatest number of victims first.
You could say the clean air bubble they live in is mostly in their heads. Not to forget rich people go from one air conditioned environment to another air conditioned environment. Do not forget air conditioning is not just heating or cooling, you are conditioning the air to be more suitable for human use so http://www.pureairsystems.com/.... Yeah the rich do not breath the same air as the poor, domestic, commercial or government. They still of course get poisoned out of doors but they are willing to risk that short exposure to feed their greed, knowing full well the exposure of the poor 24/7.
This story is of course early notice for the death of the infernal combustion engine, it is coming, it is inevitable and it is just a matter of time, taking into account low oil prices, a lot sooner than most people think. The used vehicle market is going to be in for interesting times as redundant technology ends up with a limited legal life. Keep in mind electric vehicles can be charged at any home, as the number pf infernal combustion vehicles so the cost of fuel supplies will rise accordingly versus a drop in oil prices (limited refining, shrinking number of fuel supply stations, servicing difficulties, huge tax hike and regions with total bans ie metro areas).
How about the darkest nets of them one, the ones where government secrets are kept from citizens so that corrupt politicians can stay in power. I vote 100% for the removal of those. So get rid of them first and then government agencies and then all businesses worth more than one hundred million dollars and then all religious organisations in fact any organisation with a tax free status and then I have no problem with them coming for the rest of us. Of course to be fair, I already have no digital privacy and encryption would definitely create problems for me (better to let them digitally in, then have them force their way physically in).
No problem at all. I basically wont touch it until such time as I see a whole bunch of geeks and nerds attempt to use it at the same time over a twelve hour period, seeing how long they can last, whether or not they can even get to the twelve hour mark. So far I have only see one extended use test, this by an online marketing magazine pretending to be a tech magazine and one marketdroid who pretends to be a journalist, basically just giving a marketing spiel.
It was never about gaining access to a phone in their possession, it was about being able to hack phones via the cellular phone network, with out the knowledge of the owner of the phone and marketing that access to protect another corporate player M$ who is providing that access for a fee. It was all about forcing Apple away from selling security and privacy as a luxury feature worth paying for. There is a huge difference between being able to hack a phone in your possession and being able to hack it remotely. When push came to shove the US government and M$, lost to Apple and the internet and it won't be forgotten, talk about burning bridges.
Sugar just ain't sugar. Sugar is the volume of food required to eat to create an energy surcharge, an excess that leads to fat deposition. So it is down to energy density, quite simple how much of that crap you can shove down your gullet to feed your craving belly and how addicted various chemicals are, like MSG. Obviously if if simply takes up more space you will not be able to eat as much. So food energy density laws, not just how much sugar but the volume of food containing that sugar, plus of course say a requirement for more health promoting chemicals required to be added into that volume of crap. I make bread too and honey, butter and cinnamon with natural extended fermentation do make for a really tasty loaf, almost too tasty, thick cut toast, oh wow.
So what happens when the diver was texting and the pedestrian was texting, who is at greater fault. Especially as legally speaking the pedestrian did not agree to laws bound to accepting a drivers licence, that the driver accepted. Perhaps a simple rider needs to be added being "which resulted in an accident occurring", so no harm, no fowl ie what happened to the chicken that crossed the road while texting;).
Not being able to fire them. What kind of spoilt sport are you, the Republicans are NRA champions, they should be able to celebrate it buy pulling out their guns and firing them into the air every time a politician makes a point they agree with and if the politician makes a point they dislike they should be able to aim 'er' lower;D. That petition is going to get trolled big time. Hey I am Australian and I'll sign that petition for Americans to carry loaded weapons to American political conventions and when it comes to Australian ones, well different laws so people are not allowed to carry them around in public without severe restrictions so uniform application of law, fair is fair. If is fair enough to have American university students studying under threat of armed persons than it is fair enough for those American politicians who voted for those laws to suffer the same threats.
That kind of embezzlement doesn't just happen by accident. Someone plotted and planned and made it accessible and that someone would have been the M$ sales reps, not to blame M$ America but certainly their local reps were in it collecting the sales commissions and bonuses, right up to their necks. So interesting to see suspicions confirmed about why M$ has been able to survive so long against FOSS. Not that M$ international is playing but local branches up to all sorts of shenanigans to pump up commissions and bonuses, this versus those local players making basically abso-fucking-lutely nothing, no commission, no bonus, not even a salary if those governments use FOSS instead. Interesting to see how that corruption is built into driving closed source proprietary software rather than using Free Open Source Software, rather than corporate activity, simply activities tied to the very nature of software licences feeding into and driving corrupt practices.
