When windows anal probe 10 went from just spying to making changes to user based choice, it went from just being spyware to being a full on trojan, basically hackware built into your OS. Windows anal Probe 10 is just going from extraordinarily bad to seriously who the fuck is silly enough to install that POS unless your job demands it.
So you are saying that the HTC vive is a complete kit. Everything you need for VR, not a bad price at $800 of course if you still have to spend say another $1,500 dollars to actually get VR than not so much of a bargain. So for many people over a couple of thousand dollars in reality and you know what, for the vast majority, use it too long and you will, well and truly suffer (that too long being minutes for some and just a few hours for others). So where are the long term use product testing results and why are they keeping them secret (there is no way in hell they would have been stupid enough to not do those).
So how come they do not just accept what ever the hell iCloud password comes from the phone as the correct password, so that it can do the backup. You have the phone, you can create a sealed room with the phone in it, so it can talk to your pretend tower and communicate with the pretend iCloud and have it's password accepted and you are done.
All they can ask for is the build details, which Apple should supply and from there on in, it is the FBIs problem to solve.
Reality is when any technological device is taken for evidence, it should never ever be powered up again. The storage memory should be accessed directly by opening up the device and make a copy directly from the storage hardware (the inputs and outputs are known, the power connection is known, a direct copy is the only thing that should be allowed and only the copy is touched).
The defence can then demand in court that a fresh copy be made under defence observation and that copy be compared to the copy being used in court by the prosecutors. Then of course is the whole argument of, prove that the device was not hacked and that some one else just planted the evidence for what ever reason. Revenge, promotion, extortion, to hide their own activity etc..
Get real, who would install software with a built in key logger. Nope they are getting their own version and of course access to everyone else's version, yeah that kind of access and yeah M$ pretty fucking evil, make no mistake. You can also guarantee M$ will not be doing direct updates of those individually identified computers that is for the rest of us, custom updates for particular users and US government departments managing their own updates of their customised versions. This wholesale invasion of privacy by M$ could only occur with government backing and that is in exchange for warrant less default full access across the entire face of the planet. Not just to pull data off but also to install software, specifically targeted at dual boots or boots from say a USB stick and that means opening up firmware and bios to add bits. Really fucking evil stuff.
So simply ask for the circuit diagrams, software source code of all chips and then simply pull the device apart, keeping the memory intact in each component, create a back up copy of contents and then brute force it outside of the control of the device itself. Sounds to me they are just being lazy whiny and it is not about this particular phone but about sneaking in a back door. This kind of pressure stinks of corporate political influence. Say there is a dickwad douche bag perv privacy invasive company running around, who is not only making it customers bend over every single time someone wants to probe them but making millions and millions out of doing it. They are now whining and complaining about being exposed as pervs http://www.urbandictionary.com... (just look at the word association it is hugely destructive in marketing terms). So they quietly lobby for an attack on Apple which is protecting customer privacy rather than the wholesale raping of customer privacy. So which company could provide sufficient clout to force this through not only the government but also main stream media, now who has the power, hmm, who has that money, gees I don't know. If you can't guess by now, there is no hope for you. This in not the work of the FBI this is the work of M$ and protecting Windows anal probe 10, where a back door into your bent over digital life is how they intend to make and force profits into the future (you might start pleading for lube now).
Apple are simply pushing harder and harder into selling privacy as a feature of their products to give them a marketing edge and charge a premium for it. M$ are worried after doing the exact opposite and hugely pissing off power users and those users know full well they are selling access to all comers, including custom insecurity updates targeted at particular users, across the globe (all versions of windows currently being updated directly by M$). This to completely and utterly punch holes into the security of their computer systems including hacking the firmware, well, at least those devices those users are willing to expose to that kind of technological rape or even the ones who just keep their secrets inside their own heads and simply strive to protect others from this kind of bullying.
Apple is quite simply slowly but surely beating M$ to death over privacy, a slow relentless grind and M$'s response political corruption (not the first time, most glaring example of public corruption of politics by M$ open document standards, a glaring example of a global effort to corrupt politics and to damage an essential element of properly managed societies in order to maintain profits regardless of costs to society).
So pretty much if you seriously want to do anything about it, you have to be up on the moon. Not only to find them far enough away but to 6 times more effectively launch them. Especially is you launched them via a steam cannon with variable acceleration for the first stage and rocket only for final guidance. Of course you could do the same from earth the barrel would just need to be quite a few kilometres long, with an outlet as high as practicable and you would not get as much warning. Better to use that earth mounted vacuum steam cannon(s), with magnetic suspension to fire stuff at the moon on a daily basis to build a base on the moon, for earlier detection and far more effective reaction.
The question you of course are avoiding is how long they take to cause what degree of damage. Obviously if one brief pulse is sufficient to cause permanent damage, than a total ban. If it required extended exposure to cause temporary damage than somewhat safer to use and allowed on market. The dividing line between the two defines the fate of the products on market.
First off people want to feel safe. So the basic income provides everything a peaceful drug addict needs to stay peaceful, including the drugs and logically it should also pay for birth control, in fact birth control would definitely be a part of that accord, perhaps built into the happy drugs. At the end of the days, those that do more want to feel safe, from those who do not, so crime reduction is the major focus and how to achieve that at low total cost. Simple comfortable accommodation, food, drugs, entertainment and social interaction, and birth control are way, way cheaper, really no comparison to the current alternate. Victims of crimes and those costs, huge costs in life and property and fear, just there alone is the greater cost. Then you have a destructive law enforcement culture developing, rather than policing and peacekeepers and life saving first responders, you actually pay more per peace keeper but they do a whole lot more good and generate a whole lot less harm and the harm the create has massive costs again. Shit we are beyond the costs of a sound birth limited social parking (parked until through group and social support structures some are recovered) system and we haven't even touched the costs of courts and the prosecution system and let alone the massive costs of imprisonment, only to see recidivism as the outcome and the massive cost cycle kicking over again.
So the whole idea is to create a diminishing system via birth control for, non-contributors, rather than a continually expanded system as a result of abusive exploitation feeding into crime, creating victims and becoming an ever expanding drain on the economy via prisons. At the bottom end of the economic chain, that money simply straight up circulates through local economies and keeps things ticking over and calm, I mean you would certainly prefer that the money not be used to purchase imports and focus on local expenditure and most certainly you do not want to fund a growing population of non-contributors (like the rich and greedy, taking the lions share of the profits from the people who do the actual work or making money from just shifting money about does not make you a contributor just an extremely greedy parasite).
As long as it is a shrinking problem, who really cares how long it takes as long as we can live safe and peaceful lives. Not to forget private owner ship of resources is in point of fact, violent theft of public resources and there is no escaping that truth (that theft of public resources is enforced in the most brutal ways imaginable).
It is real easy to clean and machine and get it going, it takes a little time but no problem as long as the bios is intact. The problem is the network must be shut down and all computers taken off. Then the servers are redone and once they are up and tested they go back on the network. Each computer is checked, rebuilt if neccesary and put on the network. Do it in hours, if you have the bodies to do it (one skilled person per computer device on the network), fewer people more hours, days or even weeks of downtime. This is a job for a consolidated FCC and FBI department (sort of a flying squad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...) and as they carry out the repair, pulling some devices even servers permanently off the network as evidence, the build computer forensic information to pursue prosecution, regardless of where in the world the source of the attack was from (either the country pays that penalty or that country pursues the individuals themselves). Fuck with a hospital in that manner and you are in deep, real deep, there ain't no coming back from that ever, you become a lifer.
Just remember, when your multimillion dollar beach front apartment's ground floor is underwater and no one can drive there any more, remember it's just water, so big deal, you drink it by the glass full every day, get used to it. No difference to when the worlds ports become unusable and new ones need to be built. There are also a whole bunch of low lying coastal airports that need to be rebuilt. Roads and rail lines also and no one can really tell how destructive that period of a massive surge of suspended sediments in coastal waters will be. So coastal refugees counting in the billions, apparently also not a problem, shit we struggle with a million, what will be the impact of a billion, on countries suffering losses in the trillions. They will be out for blood and the descendants rolling around in wealth generated by the insanities of their parents, yeah, they will pay a very bitter price. No one ever controls a violent out of control mob, the bullets fly and people die and those who once thought they were all powerful, find themselves dangling at the end of a rope. Not a course any sane person set's on purpose.
At a guess though, they do not believe what they are writing, not in the least and they intend to sell a certain companies stock (for the reasons given, shh they have done some of the research and it doesn't look good, they are just lying 'er' forgotten to present that data and presenting other data instead), quite extensively, hence the massive pump up. Make no mistake as a smart phone accessory, Immersion Displays will be a big seller, turning that smart phone into a really big 3D screen at a very reasonable price (no motion sensors just a fancy couple of controllers), yeah your typical stoner chilling out in bed, head back and tripping the light fantastic;D or those countless sun worshippers chilling out on beach lounges exploring other worlds or countless people stuck with really long commutes touring holiday locations (waiting to get robbed:( ).
You people are so pathetically obtuse, I specially said a laser pointer that could damage vision, if it can not damage vision, who gives a fuck, if it can damage vision, yeah really tight controls and even banning specific devices. Sorry but the world has to be built around people like you.
The unrealistic claims about VR or AR are all based around unsound physiological assumptions. Reality is, want real answers, start doing real testing. See what happens to a group of 100 hundred people where they are required to use VR eight hours a day for 30 days, see how long they can keep going and see how great their physiological deterioration is over that time. Too evaluate the likely success or failure of that you have to test for that. Any statement by the corrupt banksters at Goldman Sachs suits Goldman Sachs and they will lie to generate profits and that is a proven fact regardless of them lying about it by settling out of court again and again and again (so how much will Goldman Sachs make out of dumping VR shares whilst telling everyone else how super glorowonderous fantasitical they are and they will make all investors billionaires).
So do the bloody testing (which should be done as a matter of urgency for safeties sake before sticking them on children all over the place) and until then they STFU with their lies. Optometrists, doctors and psychologists should all be demanding safety testing of extended use of VR and AR before their deployment goes much further. As for whether or not you are gullible enough to believe anything at all said by Goldman Sachs, just remember they will lie to everyone to inflate their profits not just maybe but with total certainty and they will gamble other people's money on betting against the lies they tell.
So extremely wealthy for a tiny minority and grinding poverty for the majority is better than everyone being poor (but having excellent health in fact better health care than some very, very close first world country, for the majority of course, that first world country also the main reason for them being poor in fact done so specifically on purpose).
As for cars, seriously, cough, cough, hint, hint, the current world price of oil and the need to sell as much as possible as fast as possible, should be a solid indication by now that the electric car will take over from the infernal combustion engine. The actual countdown to it's banning for general use is already on and only restricted use will be allowed ie you will only be allowed to use an infernal combustion engine in an enclosed controlled environment with the operating sharing that environment, you want to pollute you should be the only recipient of your pollution.
More logically a Moon Base, say a primarily a galactic and solar system observatory would also provide the best training environment and be part of the selection process for missions further afield. So serve a year or two on the moon before you can get selected for missions further afield to say Mars, the asteroid fields, various moons around the place and the first to reach a planet around another star (possibly by that stage we would have quite the burgeoning metropolis on the moon, the ultimate global higher education facility). Likely salary on the moon, zero (your individual contribution and a demonstration of a real commitment, some sort of quite supportive and comprehensive pension plan though).
The reality is, if a hand held laser is of sufficient concern to pilots, than likely it should not be on the streets in a readily accessible child use format that allows children to damage the vision of other children or do any other combination of stupid things. Especially something so difficult to trace as a laser. Quite simply there is simply to high a percentage of ignorant people prone to stupid decision to allow a range of products to be readily accessible to the public, whether that ignorance be as a result of age, genetics, lead or other kinds of brain function poisoning or poor upbringing. Sure create a smarter, saner more healthy society and all that junk becomes safely accessible but we have yet to do that, hence we are forced to continue to attempt to make our societies idiot proof. Who does reproduce or who does not, who is allowed the responsibility of bringing up the next generation and who is not, who is allowed to become and educator in what kind of environment and who is banned (cheat on these and you deserve to be punished by the crimes committed by failures in the system to turn a foetus into a whole and complete contributing citizen).
Now that is a whole other question. Do we or do we not have the right to live like free Neanderthals, to live off the land as we choose and see fit. So royalty gets to choose and well, the rest of us either get killed or put in a cage should we attempt to engage in what is our natural born right. I mean you really do get the difference don't you or do you just consider the rest of us animals and you are the only true person. You seemed to have confused a neutral some what satirical anarchistic libertarian statement with something else based around your own personal greed.
You kind of have to think back to the Soviet era. Decades upon decades of claims that they were wonderful and perfect and all of it memeber countries were wonderful and perfect. Hence a deeply flawed flase image was create about the nature of those countries. The Soviet Union spent decades making the Ukraine look better than it actually was. How bad was it, the Soviet Union had to slice bits off Russia and shove it into the Ukraine in order to try and stabilise it, think about that, for a moment. Russia had to slice of parts of Russia and give them away, to prevent the Ukraine from collapsing into exactly what is it collapsing into today (really great PR job by the Soviet Union, decades latter that still had the EU believing it).
Really it is all about corruption gone out of control. The likely reality most of the hacking was simply insider actions paid for by outside interests, outside of those companies far more than outside of that country. For reasons of simple petty revenge, economic advantage by crippling competitors or protection and extortion rackets. Yeah Ukraine government was a corrupt spos (which is why Russia was so happy to see it gone, regardless of any public claims they make) prior to US led insurrection and the insurrection succeeded because of the corruption and low and behold the corruption that was fuelled to drive the insurrection is now worse than it was before because yeah the US government spent 5 billion dollars fuelling in and now it is a fire out of control. Shh, don't tell anyone but the reason the Polish government wants US troops is not because of it's eastern border (not that it is particularly comfortable with that one) but because of it's southern border(it is really uncomfortable about that one, something to do with celebrating a 'Ukrainian war hero?!?' who mass murdered polish people, who the fuck would not be uncomfortable about that, they are just not allowed to say anything publicly under instructions from the US otherwise no protection and something might happen if they have no protection).
The senior judges are not independent of GCHQ if they were illegally hacked by GCHQ ie let's say they carefully selected judges who have done something naughtier than GCHQ had done and GCHQ can prove this because they hacked those judges (say they are all paedophiles and have a history of collecting deeply disturbing images and perhaps worse, something that is appearing to be quite disturbingly widespread in upper class England). So now the judges must say they were legally hacked or else, they can argue over the legality of the evidence against them in a public court with that evidence publicly exposed. This seems to have become the core method of locking in control of corrupt politicians, both prior and post election (purposefully putting in power those who have already been privately but not yet publicly exposed versus just pandering to their perversions post election and keeping evidence of those perversions).
The only principle here is, if a business is generating revenue in a country, then that revenue can be targeted in a civil suit. The company can not turn around and claim somehow that it should be allowed to make money in a country but simultaneously not be held accountable for how it makes money in that country. To pretend to claim so is just so much legal bullshit. It is bad enough when you have global tax fraud on trillions of dollars of income and the pain, death and suffering that causes in the crippling of social services and the break down of infrastructure, now they are corruptly fighting to not be held legally accountable for their actions when they are done by remote control. All the money and no responsibility, corporations are behaving like out of control toddlers, screaming for more all of the time now.
The whole idea is to maintain that bleeding edge education style. So the institution of higher learning are right on the forefront of actual commercial and social application and the students come out with a big head start. Also it aids in providing funding for those institutions ie instead of paying software licence fees, all that money is funnelled straight back into computer research and higher education. So it is not just about the operating system but about a whole technological eco-system to place Australian education and business at the forefront of computer technology (trying to strike as many birds as possible with one 'hmm' hand full of stones). So somewhat complex and no saving on what we are currently spending but rather than an empty investment it provides a huge socio-economic return (it is the building developer in me, trying to achieve as much cost efficiency as possible and that does not mean spending less but getting the highest possible return on the appropriate investment).
China doesn't do much because as it currently stands it can not, too many fingers in the pie and too many demands placed upon what will happen. It is pretty much up to everyone else to wash their hands of North Korea and let it fester on China's doorstep and then they can and will do something about it. How the reuniting goes with South Korea some number of years or even decades occurs, is another question, as long as the current mess is solved, the future one can be tackled at a future date, as long as the Government of China is respected in this, resolution should be pretty simple. Just let them take the lead.
Overall that fellow looks pretty ill, check the hands where they forgot to put make up, overindulging much. Let's hope next time he leaves the country, they stop dicking about and simply arrest the ass hat for crimes against humanity and be done with it, same for the rest of the North Korean leadership. No more talks, just total isolation and arrest and prosecution at first opportunity. Just make North Korea China's problem in every way possible and make them deal with the resource and economic drain. Much like Russia did with the Ukraine, boy are those cheeky buggers saving money now, billions every year and we can do pretty much the same in a different direction.

So serve a year or two on the moon before you can get selected for missions further afield to say Mars, the asteroid fields, various moons around the place and the first to reach a planet around another star (possibly by that stage we would have quite the burgeoning metropolis on the moon, the ultimate global higher education facility). Likely salary on the moon, zero (your individual contribution and a demonstration of a real commitment, some sort of quite supportive and comprehensive pension plan though).
The reality is, if a hand held laser is of sufficient concern to pilots, than likely it should not be on the streets in a readily accessible child use format that allows children to damage the vision of other children or do any other combination of stupid things. Especially something so difficult to trace as a laser. Quite simply there is simply to high a percentage of ignorant people prone to stupid decision to allow a range of products to be readily accessible to the public, whether that ignorance be as a result of age, genetics, lead or other kinds of brain function poisoning or poor upbringing. Sure create a smarter, saner more healthy society and all that junk becomes safely accessible but we have yet to do that, hence we are forced to continue to attempt to make our societies idiot proof. Who does reproduce or who does not, who is allowed the responsibility of bringing up the next generation and who is not, who is allowed to become and educator in what kind of environment and who is banned (cheat on these and you deserve to be punished by the crimes committed by failures in the system to turn a foetus into a whole and complete contributing citizen).
Now that is a whole other question. Do we or do we not have the right to live like free Neanderthals, to live off the land as we choose and see fit. So royalty gets to choose and well, the rest of us either get killed or put in a cage should we attempt to engage in what is our natural born right. I mean you really do get the difference don't you or do you just consider the rest of us animals and you are the only true person. You seemed to have confused a neutral some what satirical anarchistic libertarian statement with something else based around your own personal greed.
So that would make my comment a demonstration of my comment by ignoring the sarcasm in your comment, not to point out the obvious of course.
You kind of have to think back to the Soviet era. Decades upon decades of claims that they were wonderful and perfect and all of it memeber countries were wonderful and perfect. Hence a deeply flawed flase image was create about the nature of those countries. The Soviet Union spent decades making the Ukraine look better than it actually was. How bad was it, the Soviet Union had to slice bits off Russia and shove it into the Ukraine in order to try and stabilise it, think about that, for a moment. Russia had to slice of parts of Russia and give them away, to prevent the Ukraine from collapsing into exactly what is it collapsing into today (really great PR job by the Soviet Union, decades latter that still had the EU believing it).
Really it is all about corruption gone out of control. The likely reality most of the hacking was simply insider actions paid for by outside interests, outside of those companies far more than outside of that country. For reasons of simple petty revenge, economic advantage by crippling competitors or protection and extortion rackets. Yeah Ukraine government was a corrupt spos (which is why Russia was so happy to see it gone, regardless of any public claims they make) prior to US led insurrection and the insurrection succeeded because of the corruption and low and behold the corruption that was fuelled to drive the insurrection is now worse than it was before because yeah the US government spent 5 billion dollars fuelling in and now it is a fire out of control. Shh, don't tell anyone but the reason the Polish government wants US troops is not because of it's eastern border (not that it is particularly comfortable with that one) but because of it's southern border(it is really uncomfortable about that one, something to do with celebrating a 'Ukrainian war hero?!?' who mass murdered polish people, who the fuck would not be uncomfortable about that, they are just not allowed to say anything publicly under instructions from the US otherwise no protection and something might happen if they have no protection).
The senior judges are not independent of GCHQ if they were illegally hacked by GCHQ ie let's say they carefully selected judges who have done something naughtier than GCHQ had done and GCHQ can prove this because they hacked those judges (say they are all paedophiles and have a history of collecting deeply disturbing images and perhaps worse, something that is appearing to be quite disturbingly widespread in upper class England). So now the judges must say they were legally hacked or else, they can argue over the legality of the evidence against them in a public court with that evidence publicly exposed. This seems to have become the core method of locking in control of corrupt politicians, both prior and post election (purposefully putting in power those who have already been privately but not yet publicly exposed versus just pandering to their perversions post election and keeping evidence of those perversions).
The only principle here is, if a business is generating revenue in a country, then that revenue can be targeted in a civil suit. The company can not turn around and claim somehow that it should be allowed to make money in a country but simultaneously not be held accountable for how it makes money in that country. To pretend to claim so is just so much legal bullshit. It is bad enough when you have global tax fraud on trillions of dollars of income and the pain, death and suffering that causes in the crippling of social services and the break down of infrastructure, now they are corruptly fighting to not be held legally accountable for their actions when they are done by remote control. All the money and no responsibility, corporations are behaving like out of control toddlers, screaming for more all of the time now.
The whole idea is to maintain that bleeding edge education style. So the institution of higher learning are right on the forefront of actual commercial and social application and the students come out with a big head start. Also it aids in providing funding for those institutions ie instead of paying software licence fees, all that money is funnelled straight back into computer research and higher education. So it is not just about the operating system but about a whole technological eco-system to place Australian education and business at the forefront of computer technology (trying to strike as many birds as possible with one 'hmm' hand full of stones). So somewhat complex and no saving on what we are currently spending but rather than an empty investment it provides a huge socio-economic return (it is the building developer in me, trying to achieve as much cost efficiency as possible and that does not mean spending less but getting the highest possible return on the appropriate investment).
China doesn't do much because as it currently stands it can not, too many fingers in the pie and too many demands placed upon what will happen. It is pretty much up to everyone else to wash their hands of North Korea and let it fester on China's doorstep and then they can and will do something about it. How the reuniting goes with South Korea some number of years or even decades occurs, is another question, as long as the current mess is solved, the future one can be tackled at a future date, as long as the Government of China is respected in this, resolution should be pretty simple. Just let them take the lead.
Overall that fellow looks pretty ill, check the hands where they forgot to put make up, overindulging much. Let's hope next time he leaves the country, they stop dicking about and simply arrest the ass hat for crimes against humanity and be done with it, same for the rest of the North Korean leadership. No more talks, just total isolation and arrest and prosecution at first opportunity. Just make North Korea China's problem in every way possible and make them deal with the resource and economic drain. Much like Russia did with the Ukraine, boy are those cheeky buggers saving money now, billions every year and we can do pretty much the same in a different direction.
