The abandoning privacy argument. If you believe the government already consider you very suspect better that they can find out everything about you, which is nothing and make it easy for them. Rather than protecting your privacy and making it very difficult for them, so they end up wildly overreacting and place you in the life threatening situation of a search warrant swat team.
The catch with that, is they want to believe. They will believe that all the information they easily find about you is fake and that you are in fact very dangerous and hiding something and the life threatening search warrant swat team descend upon you anyhow.
So you take some security precautions but you remain generally open, you control you communications (no drunk or angry or let alone drunk and angry communications) and you generally directly take the piss out of them as you also don't want to appear to be crafting a low profile. Take up a harmless but unusual pass time. Say, convince them you believe in psychic abilities and aliens and they'll consider you a harmless nutter, although both types of forums remain useful places to conceal communications as they are very global in nature on the internet;).
You do realise the difference between plants and people and how people families might take strong offence to the idea of 'back burning' family members. That is the counter analogy. Plants do not become rebel forces when forced to do so due to abuse.
Why would you believe that psychopaths would not get to the top of a communist system. It's what they do, it's what drives them and the more autocratic the government system the more harm they cause.
Gees, I just thought it was a problem when you burned it or used it disposable products that collect in the environment. So no apparently oil used in long lasting kept through generations Lego is the problem. I heard it was especially bad as carpet mines, I never knew you and your moderators had thought, carbon chain products could be dangerous even when you 'DID NOT FUCKING BURN IT'.
Karl Marx of course lacked crucial information. His understand of the privileged class was based upon psychology more modern thinking basis's it on genetics. Basically psychopaths with a genetically shallow range of human emotions and a lack of an autonomic empathic response creates developmental problems as they mature and turns them into the egoistic, parasitic, lust driven, that will basically burn the world and the rest of us to the ground to feed their genetic insanity. So no, once eliminated another group does not replace them, that genetic sub-species and it's destructiveness would be gone.
The US military industrial complex created them, the US military industrial complex fights them and the US military industrial complex keeps them going. It has spent years goading Russia to try and kick over the cold war again and is now poking China as well. The US military industrial complex runs around the war trying to put out fires with a flame thrower and then blaming everyone else when they fail at it.
Have you not been paying attention, the leisure society was turned into 'service industries' by psychopaths. So butler, maid, chauffeur, gardener, cleaner, personal assistant, body servant, butt wiper, pee drinker, desk bender over, is becoming the substitute for leisure. When it comes to the minority psychopaths, the reality is, it is either them or us, the majority, their existence is all about exclusivity and parasitism.
PS productivity increase is just smarmy language for more work and for less money and under corporatist feudalism, not money just table scraps.
So I gather your father did not lose his sense of smell due to deterioration from age, unless of course he was 100 years plus when he died of throat cancer. So the study was particularly focused on loss of the sense of smell due to age deterioration and not other causes.
The flip side of that is toughening up the ship to provide protection between faults, emergencies, impacts and crew wake up time. How long it takes to crew to go from extended sleep to active functioning, in the movies, they always fast forward through this, likely reality is days, during which they will have to be exercising a lot to rebuild muscles.
What efficiency accept reality a place size limits on access to the space program, no taller than say 1.6m and that reduction really does make a saving in life support systems and overall size of systems.
The real constraint is how long, once you make it a really long slow trip, then the ship becomes big enough for a managed aquaponic system to provide sustenance and oxygen. Go for a long slow trip with a very large ship and conduct experiments on the way out. Likely reality is, when are going to have to based permanently on the moon before when can tackle a manned trip to mars.
'Erm' yeah right that'll be the day. As long as those egoistic douche nozels can afford lawyers they'll be spending up big on them to feed their own egos. Crap like their own name is unique and special and all those others thousands who share it should be denied internet access to it and should be forced to change it. Those professional liars need to wake up to themselves, that great egoistic ride of pseudo celebrity marketing is coming to a welcomed end as the old mass media channels are being diluted on the internet to 'well' put it bluntly "pissing in a river".
Keep in mind wrinkly old scroat types with no idea at all what computers do, how they work, what networks are, just signing off on crap to make it look like they know what they are doing and why they are doing it. The only really actively corrupt department head looking to create his own power base of extortion and blackmail was the NSA guy and that particular delusion was fully expressed in his egoistic startrek command centre. The rest are just peter principle types who have been promoted beyond their capability. So yeah, blessing in faith not if knowledge and now the the grand coverup of incompetence.
With modern storage and compact device, data centres serving capital cities are shrinking, only adding in additional services keeps the of appreciable size. Companies are not building the cloud, they are building hurricanes, concentrated locations of inevitable failure (systems always end up catastrophically failing for one reason or another). Have smaller distributed system means one fails and the others pick up the load, one big system means one failure results in massive loss of business. Engineers always fantasize about how one great big system is more efficient and they can take precautions against accepted risks of failure but that is a delusion, they do not realise the true impact of failure on future business, the work required to recover lost business and the business that will never be recover, engineers endlessly save pennies to spend pounds and often spend thousands of pounds extra based upon completely false assumptions which they defend with to the end with arrogance and qualifications over experience.
It's called the system registry, that buggy plague ridden POS idea that has contaminated windows for decades, remains a continuous problem. Originally done so M$ could pry into what software people are running in one location and prevent undesired software from M$'s point of view from running, an idea that had to be abandoned for obvious reasons but that POS registry crap was still left behind. A brand new clean install more than anything else tidies up the registry and that speeds up boots, shut downs and application launches. The system registry is shite, get rid of it, finally for fukity fuck fucking sake.
It's a 'major' data centre, I would be worried about getting data in and getting data out. It really makes no sense to build one huge data centre and have it reliant on localised, power, staff, weather, tectonic stability and all those communications cables coming in and going out. Having to shift huge amounts of data very long distances. As the amount of data rises, so the idea of building data centres to service each and every capital city around the world makes a whole lot more sense. This enables full mirroring of international data services, distributed back up of any data centre across other data centres and full content distribution services and even the contracted provision of game servers. Building many distributed data centres enables you to do many more things and of course localise those data centres in terms of government regulations and avoid a range of judicially or law enforcement inspired issues. How small a population should be served with a data centre, that really depends on how much you get into those other data handling services, like mirroring, game serving and content distribution, localising that traffic saves a huge amount of money and, local sales staff always benefits sales and allows you to tweak services for that locale.
The reality is was all about FBI agents with delusions of grandeur of pursuing 'Anonymous' and breaking open of global network of tens of thousands cyber activists. One giant global 'criminal' fishing expedition, with agents so blinded by the idea of becoming special agent super heroes then ended up breaking laws all over the planet without the permission or legal authority of those countries networks they were hacking.
This brings to mind the recent US proesecution of four individuals and the claims of hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, so how much damage has the FBI caused. Based on calculations they have submitted themselves perhaps 10 of billions of dollars damage to global computer networks and the companies using and creating them. Tens of billions of dollars damage, now that puts them squarely in the hole of being actively involved in global economic warfare, attempting to damage the economies of other countries by hacking computer networks and but the FBIs own evaluation of economic damage causing billions of dollars of damage.
This all to entrap a bunch of minors there own inside person, lured into crime, not only drawing them in but providing the tools and the knowledge and selecting the targets, this in of itself a criminal act especially when minors are to be the victims of conniving adults.
Then there are the political preachers, those that preach the religion for personal gain whilst not practising the religion except to break all of it's tenets. You look at many of those right wing pseudo Christians and for them the ten commandments are just a score card, how many of them they can break upon a daily basis. When it comes to that lot being ready for ET, well can they screw a profit out of it, nope, than you bet they will strictly adhere to denial, especially as publicised ET will be the world together and disrupt that whole divide, conquer and exploit thing.
You are talking about fictitious maybe, might be, could have possibly happened consequences. Something that is only really used in corrupted courts by corrupt prosecutors. Stick to the facts, of what actually happened and copying is never theft, copying is copying and theft is the denial of possession. So overall is seems they were far less naughty than the NSA, hugely massively less naughty then the NSA.
As for hundreds of millions of dollars spent on repairing security breaches, when will government agencies stop lying in court, it is a criminal act and these claims should be investigated and when proven false those who made the claims prosecuted for perjury.
Otherwise people can be charged for possibly starting world war three because they dropped a banana peel and because a particular person slipped on it, this could possibly set off a chain reaction of events which could possibly lead to world war three hence the person who dropped the banana peel needs to be charged with mass murder and war crimes.
The reality is when it comes to something like Ebola when they use the words 'completely contained' they are quite simply completely lying in order to protect trade and tourism. Reality is with any infectious diseases the correct terminology is 'was contained' or 'according to current information the spread has been limited'. Any claim of complete containment is a lie as it requires the complete knowledge of every person in that population and their current state of infection, something that is impossible in a modern western country let alone an African country.
So when countries in Africa start talking about the lie of 'complete containment' I find that extremely concerning and that an externally applied containment to the African continent is likely the only safe way to go and sooner rather than later will likely be beneficial.
Futuristic weapon of course do not really work they way people would think. The whole idea is about releasing the minimum required amount of energy at the target location to achieve a desired result. So when it comes to stopping a space battleship, the required amount of energy to shut down it's computers. Obviously the energy required at the target location is minimal, getting it there is the trick. There are many particles that will readily travel through objects, project those particles and fluctuate the amount at the right frequency at the target location and you will alter the energy balance at that location and achieve a molecular resonance, where the molecules at the target location release the energy to achieve a desired affect.
So it is all about hiding and attacking without being attacked or using really advanced technology to uncloak and shut down the opposing war machine. Using massive amounts of energy really is technologically speaking primitive.
Same with planetary attack, you are not attacking a planet, you are attacking a society on that planet and eliminating that threat. So biological attack, a gene therapy attack to eliminate the social threatening traits. The sustained technological shut down of energy generation, to allow the collapse of a society and it's re-evolution in a more desired form. Even a political attack, achieving political reform to eliminate the threat.
Looking at our own world we can see how we have revised war over the millennia, to be far more subtle, mainly in the last few years of course.
Avoiding the supply charge, those cables in the street is also require, otherwise they will continually ramp up the supply charge and this affects the poor far more than it does the rich.
Keep pursuing the cheapest labour and pretty soon you will have no one to sell your code to, as no one will be afford to buy the devices to put the code on. It's all about balanced economies, not the greatest possible exploitation, not unlimited growth, not the highest possible productivity which in reality implies the cheapest possible labour (when will you guys and gals wake up to that one, what did you really think all that spin about increasing productivity really meant).
Well to be factually accurate Uncle Tom Obama the Choom Gang Coward, did not change his tune at all, it's just that his and his administration tune did not in any way shape or form match that tune. Admittedly Obama is not on his own in this as he only signs off on the voting of the senate and the congress. So the president is more of a look at the other hand magic thing to distract people's attention whilst the actual decisions are being made in the congress and senate. Remember this, the congress and senate have it within their power to cut the presidents roll down to just a empty figure head role with no power at all. It is only corporate America and mass media that want you focusing in on the President and ignoring your representative in the congress and senate and contacting them directly, via phone calls or via snail mail or email.
Before you can apply the physics of space battles you need to look at the tactics of space battles and how you would apply those physics.
Regardless of movies and TV series, planetary systems are completely undefendable from toxic dust clouds in counter orbit, to triggered solar flares, to the obvious stealthed high yield warheads fired from beyond detectable range, the ways to attack a planet with the area in space to defend are just to great.
So first up, evacuate those you need to fight the war to a space fleet and take that fleet to the nearest light years big dust cloud. This hides the fleet and provides the resources needed to supply the interstellar war, whilst you wipe out the oppositions planets, unless of course they do the exact same thing. This of course pointing to the futility of wars in space and highlighting the need to nip the problem in the bud.
Any existing space faring race will of course eliminate or any species entering space if the species is deemed to be an 'uncontrollable' threat. Of course as region become substantively older this mitigation of threat will likely be passed off to less advanced societies as a measure of their development.
So space battles are just for computer games because there is absolutely no way to defend or win anything. The most realistic interstellar wars are of 'influence' bound around, genetic and social engineering and we are just really starting to learn how advanced technology can really make it happen, at a 'mind boggling' (heh heh) level.
Regardless the individual or corporate day, hour, minute traders are toxic to the corporate market and the destructive influence they have on the management of corporations.
Two things need to radically change, stamp duties on share transaction need to rise to at least 1% to slow down the desire to trade and the speed of transfer of shares need to be slowed down, so to at least 30 or even 90 days between the the purchase and sale of shares. This will hugely stabilise the share market and have a major influence on the management of companies and the desire to fabricate an illusion about the wealth of a company for short term share gains.
A push needs to be made to shift value of investment in shares from short term capital gains back to dividends and transaction taxes along with hugely slowed down trades will do that.
Or, could it possible be, finally in spite of all evidence to the contrary, that those CIA torture freaks are finally feeling some sense of shame for the perverse behaviour. I wonder how recruiting is going?
