The only answer is to actively poison you data with things like 'Track Me Not' https://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/. Plus false information in social media (obviously good not bad false information), run public and private social media and public real name, private only a nick name close friends and some family members know. It is way easier to poison undesirable information about you than to get rid of it. So don't forget a specific junk mail web site as a trial period for new registers and have fun with fictitious family members and addresses and contact details.
Reality is, want better privacy than manage your own social media, use ISP email, start looking into encryption (something singles can be slack on but families should most definitely not be) and when it comes to minors keep them will clear of corporate invasive perversion, there are sick people in there and they should not be trusted with you children's comings and goings nor what means are most effective at manipulating them.
The high degree of privacy invasion is not just about targeting ads at you the reflect past interests but also monitoring which adds you can be most influenced by, so they can more readily suck you into buying highly profitable crap products.
More specifically Companies can get their government to use all their publicly funded universities to do a fully public audit of free open source software and then can then get the audited software free from a secure location and have people fully trained in it's use. So many small contributions produce billions upon billions in savings, not only on licence fees but training and security cost savings.
Do you even know what a fault line is. So I assume you are somehow trying to infer the earth is made of some sci fi cartoon diamantium with no cracks or imperfections of any kind and what you do at one place has not impact any where else, this with a total disconnection from actual geological science. Let me guess, you belief is that if you flood a fault line full of toxic material and after an earthquake on that fault line it all leaks out, it is not your fault, it is the earthquakes fault. Is is not the fault of frackers when their toxic materials leak out through the untold number of cracks in the earth, it is the earth's fault sic for having those cracks.
The problem here is in the nature of the scope of the theory. Quite simply, currently beyond our ability to test it as a whole. So the alternative is to forecast outcomes of elements of it that can be tested. So no singular test to prove it but a whole range of tests to either prove or disprove elements of it's application. Rather like being able to see some one's face when you are blind by touching it with your finger tips, you do not ever see it but you infer it's appearance by contact made with your fingers and the relative positions they are in when you do so.
It is easy to see what happened. Fitzgibbon Media seems more than just a bit spammy in their marketing operations, not malicious more like loud gossipy 'er' women. So they tended to take that poor behaviour into political activism in a worthwhile cause. What is interesting is likely their other paid professional marketing schemes have never run into this problem before and that find it surprising this time around.
So yeah, very likely specific individuals strove to shut it down early because they have been paid to do so. Yes, there is a main stream media conspiracy to silence protest with regard to the Toilet, Paper, Protocol (so named for what it does to countries constitutions) and that conspiracy extends to PR Agencies and their trolls in various other organisations. Goal of the TPP, enslave the world to the totally corrupt US Federal Reserve and the funny money it produces, which of course is used to enrich and empower those that control it and that is a straight up global criminally corrupt conspiracy which should be investigated and prosecuted not bloody fast tracked.
"the Pentagon decides it's time to deploy an "offensive" cyberattack later on down the road." lets drop that bull right off the bat. The correct statement should read ' When the Pentagon again gets caught deploying "offensive" cyberattacks". They have already been exposed all over the place. The law is categorically clear, hacking into networks, espionage, is an attack and the US has been exposed attacking every one, every single person on the planet on every single network on the planet. From US politicians investigating them, to some geek hunting for aliens, to some kid copying software, to political leaders emails to corporations trade secrets, well, to every single possible digital communications.
There is just no way the US government can deny all attacks are payback for what they have done and continue to do. Other countries have just remained silent about catching the US and just quietly feeding them lots and lots of false data.
The new game will be interesting. Foreign governments who understand the corrupt nature of the US government know the most effective counter attack will simply be to expose the corruption of the US government and it's corporations to the US and global public and, to throw those hugely destructive elements into chaotic turmoil. Not only for what those corrupt elements do on the job but for the even worse stuff they do off the job (corrupt at work also means being corruptly sick at play, it is just in their nature).
Let's cut the crap. All those similar competitive GAMES require a similar mind set. Greed, an ability not to get mindlessly bored doing the same thing over and over and over ad infinitum, an inability to achieve anything beyond that (otherwise they would) and of course a total willingness to publicly lie about the virtues of products they are paid promote. 'Er' yah, three cheers for that, why, seriously why?
Are so many people, so sucked in by main stream media marketing and public relations, absolutely totally sucked in. That kind of behaviour ain't anything to be celebrated, honestly, really. By far the majority of people at their core know this, which is exactly why they do not do it! Yet absurdly enough whilst they refuse to do it because they consider it undesirable, they have been fooled into thinking that the undesirability is not only acceptable but preferred when told so by saturation marketing. Admittedly this marketing is targeted at the for the earliest age and in the worst possible psychologically distorting manner, repeated again and again with little or no chance of escaping from it but you'd think they would grow out of it as they mature rather than being permanently trapped in a marketing scam to sell product.
Actually until it is all proven in a court of law, it is all bullshit and conjecture. So more like we blew them up because they were not Americans and it was not America and fuck em.
Proper car analogy. If you train every one in school to only work on Fords, don't be surprised when there is an absence of GM mechanics and Ford claims GM mechanics are too expensive because they need 'additional' training and they charge more and thus the total cost of ownership of GM is higher. After all, isn't that the whole idea.
You just made the same mistake the headline made and the whole article repeated. Not the Red Cross, on no but the AMERICAN Red Cross, there is a huge distinction between the two. So yes the AMERICAN Red Cross, like so many other so called charities, AMERICAN charities, is one grand get rich scheme for the insiders and a marketing and PR scam so that Americans can pretend they care about people. Corruption under the tutelage of conservatives has reached into every single part of the US, psychopathy inc,. is not an insult it is a reality.
Store a data for a million years, how about finding some spare planets, say a couple of hundred to store the computers to store a million years worth of data. The whole egoistic arrogance that future generations, already pretty pissed off by the state of the planet we left them give a crap about the bulk of the data being produced today. They will of course want to revile those most responsible, be able to look upon them and curse, try to see the evil in their eyes that they would leave a planet in that state to feed their own ego and lusts but beyond that, well, they will be far more interested in the content they create. Perhaps a few might enjoy permanently deleting information about the ancestors they loathe, sort of a big screw you and likely that wont take a million years, just a hundred or so.
Now if you are going to have to spend all that money audit code that you then have to buy in binary form, why not simply invest the audit cost and that licence fee in managing free open source code instead. What possible benefit is there in throwing away money on licence fees only to have to spend huge sums of money to audit that code associated with those closed source binaries. In the end, still a hollow exercise because of course you are not compiling the code you audited and still have no idea at all, about what is in binaries, just the claimed source code.
This all in the hope that the NSA/CIA back doors will say NSA/CIA back door insert password here, rather than be a complex hidden bug 'er' feature that can be exploited to achieve that back door. This in turn purposefully planted by NSA/CIA agents working inside of M$ and every other major software company (whether full timers or paid contractors or extorted criminals).
Bing is such a stupid name, seriously Bing for Ballmer what the hell, https://www.youtube.com/watch?..., I guess the insurance salesman in him could help bit seek to pump up his ego, but why the hell is M$ still pushing that stupid name.
MSN Search, clean and simple, bring back myMSN and ease back on the advertising (more advertising, less content, you have less to sell and the advertising space becomes worth much less, so balance). Shit load of balmy ballmer damage to fix but not impossible.
Start separating MSN from M$ and work on rebuilding the MSN brand, try to 'politely' be all things to all people and never ever allow advertising to take up more than somewhere between 20% and 40% of any page. Trickier than it seems when menus and headings do not count as content and already put a hole in content. Bing is a bad a name as Zune and winphone was really lame when it became losephone with a tiny market share.
Hate to break it to you, What they are trying to claim is you destroyed evidence without any proof that the evidence existed just their opinion that it did exist and that you did delete some unknown data from your computer, a normal everyday functioning and that data might have been have been evidence. They are required to prove that is was evidence of a crime deleted and not just non crime related data. Just like the claim that someone flushed drugs down the toilet but you have no evidence of drugs either entering the toilet or leaving it, just evidence the toilet was flushed, so you are claiming toilet flushing as a crime.
Obstruction of justice requires proof that an attempt was made to obstruct justice, with elements of the evidence still there and proof of an attempt to destroy or contaminate it. No maybe, might have, could possibly be. All it is about is the blatant corruption of the criminal justice system by ramping up charges to hugely increase penalties and force a guilty when innocent plea because they know their case is questionable and they will force the prosecution will beyond the ability of the defendant to pay for their defence.
Which points to exactly what the surveillance is all about, nothing to do with terrorist and everything to do with crushing political activism, silencing the voice of the people under the threat of anything they say could be used to destroy them and their families. Just as the US Federal government under that slimey POS Uncle Tom surveilled, attacked and persecuted via false prosecution out of existence, the occupy wall street movement.
Nothing at all to do with crime and everything to do with again silencing the voice of the majority, censorship, surveillance of that censorship and following up with prosecution as punishment to silence dissent. The corporate masters declaring their right to secrecy and privacy whilst demanding access to everyone's else's lives in order to enslave and control them.
The game is in the wording "We did not find evidence that these mechanisms [of potentially affecting water] have led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States,". There are more than a MILLION fracking wells because by it very nature it's reach is not great and well after well must be drilled. So consider a grid of wells, say 100 x 100, that is 10,000 wells. So obviously in the middle no problem, contaminating the crap out of the water but no one there to drink it. Only the wells on the perimeter are the problem so percentage games bullshit. See 100 x 100 grid, 9,604 perfectly fine (still creating a problem but no one drinking that water, hence it is not 'drinking' water) and only 396 are a problem, now that is only about 4%. See no widespread problem, bwa hah hah.
Now keep in mind how slow ground water spreads 'Water at very shallow depths might be just a few hours old; at moderate depth, it may be 100 years old; and at great depth or after having flowed long distances from places of entry, water may be several thousands of years old', http://water.usgs.gov/edu/eart.... Families of tomorrow poisoned by the psychopathic greed of today because that water from the centre of contaminating fracking fields with thousands of wells will move over time and it will end up killing thousands.
It is not just a battery, it is a 'CAPITAL INVESTMENT'. Do no get sucked in by the PR agents seeking to keep you tied to their last millennium infrastructure, which you must rent access to and then burn you money to get energy. They way you calculate the benefits of generating you own electricity and making that energy available 24/7/365 (no more out of your control black outs, keep the maintenance up though otherwise you will be creating your own), is to look at the capital cost, calculate the value of the energy you will be generating over a year and see whether that percentage return is better than other investments, like bank interests or even loan repayments on that investment. Keep in mind that capital investment does enhance your property value and the more reputable the better.
So powered by Tesla or powered by Mercedes, works for them for marketing purposes (branded equipment and panels, reminds people about other products) as well as for you (they are not just buying a house but reliable energy, that house can generate, based upon the reputation of the manufacturer).
So rent and burn or invest and earn (energy that is). Now that is the message the fossil fuellers hate and really do fear.
Now we all know how pathetically poor the Russian government is, they can not afford a real army or airforce or navy or space agency and as such can not afford trolls who must sign national security agreements and who sideline as analysts (trained in multiple languages and well informed), nope the poor, poor Russian government must contract this out to backyard propaganda firms. Oh come on NYT go away.
Sure the Russian government has intelligence agencies along with analysts trolls but they are not poor backyard pathetic trolls, these are full time douche bags just like the NSA/CIA and they are just as strictly controlled. If a NYT reporter tried to interview one of them, not only would that analyst troll spend time in a prison, so would the NYT reporter (the report would not be spending time in that prison for being a reporter, nope they would be spending time in that prison for being something else). No matter where the in the world you go, you can pay some poor idiot to say anything you want them to say and claim it as news.
PS all the worlds major intelligence agencies have criminally inserted agents in every main stream media company, including the government owned media companies like the BBC in the UK, the ABC in Australia and the CBC in Canada (the PBS is such a lame duck it is not even worth mentioning, poor America can not afford a proper public broadcaster so it must get by with a cheap charity case). In the case of the ABC and CBC, they are not necessarily Australian espionage agents, that would be illegal (it has been legislated that way on purpose) but I'll bet most of you can readily guess exactly which country those particular espionage agents come from.
I actually started reading the article itself, rather than just focusing on thread. I gave up, the moment it became readily apparent the article was in reality about about itself. This you can readily garner from how they have stitched up isolated events into one grand anti-Russian government conspiracy.
First up the false catastrophe news stories, basically mimicking modern main stream media and it's massive hyping up of events to draw viewers. Of course on the internet they can not wait for an events to hugely exaggerate, so they create their own and attempt to draw in as many viewers as possible to the ad space they are selling. Anything at all to do with the Russian government, nope. There are thousands upon thousands of web sites bullshitting about everything imaginable thing trying to bring in viewers to the ad space they are selling. Do these trolls have more than one site, you bet, they have as many as they can manage and afford. All with different schemas and titles but with identical content. It is not like it is that much effort, once you create those sites, you just edit the content xmls and they all change, one site or hundreds, no grand conspiracy, just the one bunch of trolls and they come from all over the world not just Russia.
For Gamestop with pressure from download game distributors the pressure is on to diversify, so merchandising is the obvious choice for them, along with say comic distribution. They can not switch to a download distribution model because that puts their own stores out of business. So for them offering a second hand market, merchandising, stuff the down loaders can never really offer. Eventually you will see them merger with the computer hardware sellers, as they are struggling as well. All this very much like the original computer sales outlets, so what was, will be again.
FIFA is exactly what is was, nothing more and nothing less. An association with representatives from each country managing an 'Sports Advertising' association based around a specific set of rules and over grown children who can accept doing the same thing over and over again. This is turn sponsored by many governments using public funds, not for the benefit of the public but to subsidise 'Sports Advertising' in return for promotion of those politicians who vote in more 'Sports Advertising' subsidise at the public expence (three times, as tax, to be a spectator and to pay for advertising costs on the products they buy). What greater example than Australian, no minister of science but a minister of Sports (advertising, if was about sports it would be about people participating rather than spectating).
So let's drop the fantasy, the whole exercise once it leaves your neighbourhood park where your family can participate for free, is all about idiot egos, greed and corruption. So what is new here,hmm, let me guess who was meant to get to host the next world cup. Still taking into account the charges, they should be doing it a whole lot more often in a whole lot more cases of corrupt get rich quick schemes. So if they achieve prosecution, bloody good job.
Considering the anthrax attack that was used to promote the Patriot Act in the first place, you have very good reason to be afraid. People who want the power provided by those corrupt laws will be more than willing to do quite extreme things to get that power back.
Main stream media routinely lies to people not just in the advertising it sells but now in not-news it peddles. Those liars do not do nothing for free. That time gap between the report release and spreading the lies, time enough to approach candy corporations with spend some more on advertising and we will spread this not-news story far and wide.
Reality, people want to hear the truth from news, not more lies, ask people what they want to hear and by far the majority will say the 'TRUTH'. Forget the lies about main stream media saying they tell people what they want to hear, they tell the majority of people the lies a minority of people pay to be told. A more treasonous bunch you could not expect to find anywhere than in the corporate boardrooms of media empires.

Do you even know what a fault line is. So I assume you are somehow trying to infer the earth is made of some sci fi cartoon diamantium with no cracks or imperfections of any kind and what you do at one place has not impact any where else, this with a total disconnection from actual geological science.

The problem here is in the nature of the scope of the theory. Quite simply, currently beyond our ability to test it as a whole. So the alternative is to forecast outcomes of elements of it that can be tested. So no singular test to prove it but a whole range of tests to either prove or disprove elements of it's application.

Eventually you will see them merger with the computer hardware sellers, as they are struggling as well. All this very much like the original computer sales outlets, so what was, will be again.
FIFA is exactly what is was, nothing more and nothing less. An association with representatives from each country managing an 'Sports Advertising' association based around a specific set of rules and over grown children who can accept doing the same thing over and over again. This is turn sponsored by many governments using public funds, not for the benefit of the public but to subsidise 'Sports Advertising' in return for promotion of those politicians who vote in more 'Sports Advertising' subsidise at the public expence (three times, as tax, to be a spectator and to pay for advertising costs on the products they buy). What greater example than Australian, no minister of science but a minister of Sports (advertising, if was about sports it would be about people participating rather than spectating).
So let's drop the fantasy, the whole exercise once it leaves your neighbourhood park where your family can participate for free, is all about idiot egos, greed and corruption. So what is new here,hmm, let me guess who was meant to get to host the next world cup. Still taking into account the charges, they should be doing it a whole lot more often in a whole lot more cases of corrupt get rich quick schemes. So if they achieve prosecution, bloody good job.
Considering the anthrax attack that was used to promote the Patriot Act in the first place, you have very good reason to be afraid. People who want the power provided by those corrupt laws will be more than willing to do quite extreme things to get that power back.
Main stream media routinely lies to people not just in the advertising it sells but now in not-news it peddles. Those liars do not do nothing for free. That time gap between the report release and spreading the lies, time enough to approach candy corporations with spend some more on advertising and we will spread this not-news story far and wide.
Reality, people want to hear the truth from news, not more lies, ask people what they want to hear and by far the majority will say the 'TRUTH'. Forget the lies about main stream media saying they tell people what they want to hear, they tell the majority of people the lies a minority of people pay to be told. A more treasonous bunch you could not expect to find anywhere than in the corporate boardrooms of media empires.
