You really don't get it at all. It is the sheer mitigated arrogance of the US government and claims that it's laws apply to every other country including the laws that the US government does not have to obey others countries laws in those countries. The total in you face arrogance of it all. For a start the NSA should have been told to STFU and everything should have been handed over to the FBI and the FBI should be pursuing the prosecution. This because they are a policing organisation that acts legally and not an espionage organisation that acts criminally (surely you can see the logical legal difference and also how the rest of the world would view it) but NOOOO, they had play knob head driven ego games and try to make the NSA look better after fucking up all over the place only to make US foreign affairs look stupidly arrogant instead and when that was failing double down on the stupid by banning arbitrary people.
There are more problems than that. Power consumed by the more powerful cpu and graphics. Resolution on it's own measure nothing, you new to combine it with screen size and distance from screen. Now most importantly of all, content, the content has to justify resolution, there is a whole lot of content that quite simply ends up looking worse at higher resolution because it was created before that needed to be considered and shortcuts were taken. Right now the content that makes best use by far of higher resolution larger screens is simply landscape views https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... Interesting thing here is why pay hundreds of thousands of dollars extra for a picture window when you can buy a stream of it and of many others for nearly one hundredth of the price. Guided tours of many places will be a new source of content with panorama video streams, all making maximum use of very high resolution big screens.
Bar members of the Chinese military from attending. Now how exactly does the NSA know it was members of the Chinese military. Let me guess after initiating proper diplomatic relations the NSA approached China's computer crime task force and initiated a legal joint investigation in the hacking and after proper legal investigation discovered the perpetrators. What, don't tell me this didn't happen, not even fucking close.
So the NSA hacked computers in China, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt those computer could be hacked and placed 'er' discovered proof of network hacking in the US, conducted by the NSA 'er' government of China and now the NSA 'er' government of China seeks to cover it up.
You can see the real problem here. The NSA blatantly and publicly lied repeatedly to it's own government, the NSA now has publicly declared it is hacking government computers in China based upon the evidence they are attempting to submit. Now we know how naughty the NSA has been, the question is would they, hack computers in the US and then falsify evidence and plant it on computers in China that it has now publicly admitted to hacking, in order to deflect attention away from it's own criminal activities.
Surely those idiots can see the problem they have created for themselves in combining network defence and network assault in the one unit. They are an offensive computer network organisation, their role is to destroy and break the security of other countries networks. Which now they are publicly admitting to via this flawed investigation, all based around hacking networks and breaking security and publicly proved only thing, is did hack government computers and networks in China. As to the validity of the evidence, they utterly tainted it to the point that only corrupt courts within the US would accept it and the rest of the world and the international courts would have to reject due to that extreme contamination.
Of course the publisher complains they are middle men, trying to hide the fact of how little they whilst they get the bulk of the profits. It is pretty obvious Amazon wants to become the publisher, via this method it can further reduce the price of books and increase sales whilst also increasing profits simply by taking the publishers cut. All Amazon has to do is contract out printing of the books. So this is all corporate manoeuvring and putting pressure on the authors to skip their publishers and go direct with Amazon. For decades the publishers have stuck it to the retailers and the creators of content, now the publishers are getting the shaft, NO LOSS.
What do you expect when you put psychopaths in charge, short term high risk thinking and it's all about them. Corporate board rooms had better stop and think about testing for psychopathy before hiring people, the psychopaths on the payroll the faster and bigger the crash and burn.
It's like your not paying any attention to politics at all. They care called political parties not because they just have exclusive expensive soirees paid for lobbyists, although that happens quite regularly but because they communicate with each other upon a regular basis to agree upon policy, campaigns and who is in and who is out as well and most importantly of all how they will vote on issues. The also collectively gather intelligence on opposition parties, although how much they are actually the opposition is questionable as they often attend the same soirees paid for by the same people and figure out how they will vote.
So the choice comes down to pushing a bill they know will lose or backing down, rewriting the bill and the deciding how to re-launch it. So important issues, try and fail just to win votes for trying or actually really try to push the legislation through. The reality is yes, patent reform will seriously damage the patent system but seriously that is exactly what needs to happen. Patent were meant to promote researcher and release ideas to the public not be bullshit money printing machines and the means but which to shut down competition. We have basically allowed psychopathic greed to dominate every area of economy and until we get those psychopaths out of the system we are screwed.
If I can direct you to this reference http://www.usingenglish.com/re.... Are computers causing education problems, very bloody likely as computer geeks and nerds, a minority, are the only ones that really effectively thrive on that interaction and in that environment. For the rest, they very likely are not exploring that computer educational environment but doing the very same dopey social interactions over and over and over again, like wired up monkeys getting a jolt from a joy buzzer each time they get another like or make a 'friend' or what ever other socially manipulative interaction designed by some shit head doctorates in psychology, working for social network companies, to keep their victims seeing and clicking adds.
All the older geeks and nerds should fully appreciate by now that computers on their own are not the best educational environment for the majority and that their use needs to be limited and properly implemented and logically adjusted to suit the psychology and personality as well as of course existing measured outcomes of each student.
Stop thinking only about what works for you and demanding that everyone else aligns with you and start focusing about what works for each individual and how computers can be used to tailor the educational environment for each student and ensure human social interaction still remains dominant, we are humans after all not machines. Computers should augment the education of the majority not dominate. For us computer geeks and nerds, the story would be different, leave us in the computer lab with the other geeks and nerds and we'll be happy and thrive.
No public R&D. A lot of behind the scenes R&D continued, especially in the military. In fact the best source of nuclear energy research is pretty bloody obvious if you stop to think about it. The USN http://nnsa.energy.gov/sites/d... read the pretty brochure. Unless of course corporate interests have completely screwed it up but very likely a solid core of compact safe nuclear energy generation research tools and people remain. So what government, not fucking industry, needs to do is kick the ball and get in moving as a matter of priority likely based around the USNs existing expertise.
In reality the real problem is the US's love affair with advertising, it has taken over the US mindscape, it matters not the way things are, all that counts is the way things are seen. Disingenuous distortions flood the US social landscape, where perceived delusions are preferable to reality as long as everyone can be socially forced to agree. Challenge it with truth and reality and you are attacked from every direction, media, politicians, corporations, law enforcement, religious fundamentalist groups etc. Not light attacks but solid and sustained ones including slanders, death threats and even direct violence. In fact the delusion is so great, so accepted, so powerful it is considered un-American to challenge the idea that the US is not number 1 in every regard, whereas the reality is the US is failing in many areas, except in the generation of bullshit, were is most certainly number 1 by a long margin likely beating out the rest of the world combined.
They still need to make a shift from high output reactors to low output safer reactors. The focus needs to be on reducing energy output, extending fuel life and using many reactors, with fuel lasting the life of the smaller, lower temperature, simpler reactor. The biggest problem with today's reactors is trying to squeeze to much power out of the reaction, which requires refuelling and hugely increases risk as a result of high temperatures.
Best way to handle, cheap drugs. Let them lock themselves up in a cheap cage of pipes, needles and tubes. Most of those drugs are dirt cheap to produce and only become expensive as a result of being illegal, an artificially government driven inflation to profit organised crime and the bribes they pay. Allow the situation to take it course, allow evolution to follow it's path, given a couple of generations the problem will largely solve itself, without any cost of enforcement, without cost of imprisonment and without millions of victims of crimes to pay for the artificially inflated cost of addictive illegal drugs so that organised crime can pay off politicians and law enforcement, not only to keep those drugs illegal but to allow drug dealers to break those laws they only enforce on people outside of the criminal loop.
Yes, otherwise you get end up working for the FBI incredibly cheaply (job payment scale, clerical 'LOSER' grade) and the failure to perform job performance analysis could have an incredibly painful sting (suspended sentence unsuspended, years of imprisonment to follow).
Not that smoking grass would be all that bad for the initial pattern analysis. The ability to fracture the personality and brings specific elements to focus helps in that data drift and selection, to spend hours and hours, days and days, weeks and weeks, months and months, years and years, sifting the global internet for spikes of interests and cross correlation. Just the job for stoners but the FBI don't play nice, in fact really, really not nice unlike corporate security.
Actually not quite accurate. Consider it from the corrupt politicians viewpoint (the majority of them) they collect bribes 'er' campaign donations from many sources, all of which have to be considered and served and none of which are likely to return in future election cycles if the politician does not win.
So balance in corruption. The politician must still win, they are pursuing more than one bribe 'er' campaign donation from many, many sources. So the more at risk you can make the politician feel with regard to losing the election the more likely they are to favour your viewpoint and the viewpoint of other campaign donors and ignore that particular viewpoint of one particular campaign donor.
Nope the incumbent telcos can not buy an election on their own, absolutely impossible, they can only chip in with others. The idea is to pretty single mindedly target that specific relationship to make the incumbent telco money unwanted and dangerous, a risk to the politicians campaign and all those other lovely bribes 'er' campaign donations. Reality is net neutrality favours every other industry, every other business, every other person, other than those tied to the incumbent telecoms. You are looking at something like 0.000001% of businesses against net neutrality versus 99.999999% of business for net neutrality. Time to remind those businesses and get them to remind those corrupt politicians.
How about an invasion of the Bahamas and the arrest and imprisonment of all those person involved in the tax evasion industry. That call monitoring is all about gathering data for corporate and political blackmail to do with hundreds of billions of tax evaded currency from all over the world. As for the Bahamians, you want to play tax haven and steal other countries social services and actively profiting from money handling for organised crime, well 'FUCK YOU' and I hope you get it hard and painful, really fucking hard and really fucking painful.
Now that is in fact a pretty accurate statement. The TTIP, TPP, SOPA et al pretty much where all not trade agreements but all pretty much conspiratorial corporate takeovers of the democratic process, basically, touching treason as they hard government representatives acting against the interests of the citizens in favour of multi-national corporations, 'er' persons (corporate bullshit thing) who are citizens of no country and owe allegiance to no nation.
The fear the internet and what it is doing to re-democratise nations and are looking to lock in corporate autocracy. This prior to us putting justice back into the system and hanging those mother fuckers high, well, actually confiscation of illegally gained assets from gross tax and extreme evasion and applying appropriate imprisonment for many and varied corporate crimes.
Campaign donations do win US primaries because only a small percentage of the eligible public participates say between 10 and 20%. This enables stacking of elections, where all candidates standing for election have already been bought off. Now add this to off shore tax haven payments where corrupted politicians collect their bribes with luxury holidays and high value 'er' souvenirs and you have the complete corruption package all properly legalised by corrupt governments.
Extra campaign contributions and payments are required for the politician sticking their neck out and 'publicly' supporting a corrupt law rather than play acting at being a maverick and then voting for the corrupt law anyhow.
That sticking their neck out is what protest is all about, making the politicians feel exposed and at risk of political defeat not once but forever and losing all chances at future payoffs to gain one single payoff now. Want the internet as a public utility and protected by communications laws, then you have to make politicians feel the burn, feel exposed and feel at risk. Remember for them this is just 'ONE' payoff and they are risking all other payoffs to accept it and heh heh stick to it. The worse you make them look for accepting and 'acting' on it, the more likely they are to drop it and focus on their other campaign contributions.
Catch with your theory is, a well written lie is still a lie. So should a well written self evident lie be uprated for be well written or be down written for being a lie. It's like allowing spam to survive because it was well written spam. So comments should be contributory to the thread, be at least somewhat on topic and be generally truthful unless they are a joke or satire. They can challenge norms and beliefs but challenging well accepted facts with a blatant lie is just lame and annoying.
When it comes to responding to trolls the best response for it is to simply comment acknowledgement them as trolls and ignore and not respond to their content, with the message of don't feed the troll, especially when they start commenting double digits in a single thread.
As for reading at -1 OMG it makes your eyes bleed and should only be done when moderating to ensure any low rated good posts get a chance to rise to general viewer ship.
Far more likely if that's what they intend is a network of spiderbot mines. Making a whole expensive robot capable of surviving a simple mine is extremely difficult, incorporating sufficient intelligence in a single robot to interpret human interactions and acceptable response is also extremely difficult. Creating a creeping crawling mobile carpet of networked mines that share information back to a control and decide where to go and when it is appropriate to detonate is far simpler, especially when they can also explode when shot. The consequence of that being random chance of fragments and distance to the shooter but the more mines and the more they focus to points of destruction, the sooner shooters are eliminated.
Giant killer robots are just stupid and only fit for science fantasy movies. Smaller networked bots that work together and report back to a controlling unit directing, the killer bot swarm (that would operate much the same as an attacking insect swarm), the swarm queen so to speak, is far more realistic.
Just to make a little more interesting you could combine the spiderbot mines with waspbot mines, flying mines to tackle elevated targets and access protective structures penetrations created by the spider bots. Deployment would simply me dropping them over the field of engagement in inflatable balls, which separate up touch down, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands deployed at a go, to saturate a target zone and eliminate all designated targets, human or material. You could even deploy them from orbit.
As for morals, reality is once you step away from diplomacy and reach for war you have already abandoned morals so it is not an issue apart from PR=B$, so is that what they are really talking about, more PR=B$ bots?
I gather you have never ever heard of a 90 day warranty and it's significance with regard to the reliability or durability of a product and how many products come with a 90 day warranty, 90 fucking days dude, they aren't inventing new stuff anywhere near that fast.
Perhaps Apple should be a bit more forthcoming on the web site and not direct people to a pay for the pleasure customer service, especially if they have failed to set an associated number.
The reality is, if a court can not take down the website providing the information, they have no right to take down a search result pointing to that legal web site, that is a straight up freedom of speech challenge and attempt by courts to purposefully illegal silence people, the intent is criminal as they are not targeting the website providing the actual information as being false or untruthful.
The only legal and fair challenge with regard web site searches is does it reflect the intent of the end user and providing the sites they are searching for and is not fraudulently misdirecting the user away from the sites they are searching for and ensuring it is what is claims to be.
To claim that the truth should be forgotten is to absurdly claim ignorance is to be valued over the truth.
Yes here it is, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS..., basically deactivate iMessage (as long as you have a iphone) and of course a list of things that don't work. As well as of course contacting Apple Support which is free 'er' as long as "Most Apple products come with 90 days of complimentary phone support and a one-year limited warranty. We recommend that you check your coverage before contacting us." otherwise you have to pay for it sucka, mwah ha ha. So yeah, basically a big ole bag of dicks move by Apple. What should happen, the crap arse iMessage service should be able to recognised when the recipient has not has not received the message and notify the sender accordingly with the option of sending an SMS, not target the ex user with bill from Apple 'EX'-Customer Support.
Recyclable is not the be all and end all, in fact it became pretty much a scam for mass consumption because of the energy it waste. Built for life, a life times use, is what needs to be promoted. Not fashionable poseur status, but someone you buy once and use for the rest of your life. Something easily repairable, refillable and reusable, something that only needs to be made once and will last you the rest of your life and even be able to be passed onto your children et al. Now that really saves resources and pollution and a whole lot of breaks within seconds of the warranty expiring fucking frustration.
So you wish the German people had been paying more attention to their democracy and did not get sucked in by a bunch of lies. "Kinda like I wish current european leaders would do something more affirmative than "dialogue" with *CORRECTION*, The US Military Industrial Complex and the $5 billion dollar coup in the Ukraine. No coup no 'SUCCESSFUL' annexure of the Crimea (A US fuckup because Russia knew exactly what was going on all along and basically used the opportunity provided by the US to get exactly what they wanted and are letting the mess continue just to further embarrass the clumsy and stupid US State Department and force the EU to fix it at their expense, so they will learn why not to trust the US).

You really don't get it at all. It is the sheer mitigated arrogance of the US government and claims that it's laws apply to every other country including the laws that the US government does not have to obey others countries laws in those countries. The total in you face arrogance of it all. For a start the NSA should have been told to STFU and everything should have been handed over to the FBI and the FBI should be pursuing the prosecution. This because they are a policing organisation that acts legally and not an espionage organisation that acts criminally (surely you can see the logical legal difference and also how the rest of the world would view it) but NOOOO, they had play knob head driven ego games and try to make the NSA look better after fucking up all over the place only to make US foreign affairs look stupidly arrogant instead and when that was failing double down on the stupid by banning arbitrary people.

I gather you have never ever heard of a 90 day warranty and it's significance with regard to the reliability or durability of a product and how many products come with a 90 day warranty, 90 fucking days dude, they aren't inventing new stuff anywhere near that fast.
Perhaps Apple should be a bit more forthcoming on the web site and not direct people to a pay for the pleasure customer service, especially if they have failed to set an associated number.
The reality is, if a court can not take down the website providing the information, they have no right to take down a search result pointing to that legal web site, that is a straight up freedom of speech challenge and attempt by courts to purposefully illegal silence people, the intent is criminal as they are not targeting the website providing the actual information as being false or untruthful.
The only legal and fair challenge with regard web site searches is does it reflect the intent of the end user and providing the sites they are searching for and is not fraudulently misdirecting the user away from the sites they are searching for and ensuring it is what is claims to be.
To claim that the truth should be forgotten is to absurdly claim ignorance is to be valued over the truth.
Yes here it is, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS..., basically deactivate iMessage (as long as you have a iphone) and of course a list of things that don't work. As well as of course contacting Apple Support which is free 'er' as long as "Most Apple products come with 90 days of complimentary phone support and a one-year limited warranty. We recommend that you check your coverage before contacting us." otherwise you have to pay for it sucka, mwah ha ha. So yeah, basically a big ole bag of dicks move by Apple. What should happen, the crap arse iMessage service should be able to recognised when the recipient has not has not received the message and notify the sender accordingly with the option of sending an SMS, not target the ex user with bill from Apple 'EX'-Customer Support.
Recyclable is not the be all and end all, in fact it became pretty much a scam for mass consumption because of the energy it waste. Built for life, a life times use, is what needs to be promoted. Not fashionable poseur status, but someone you buy once and use for the rest of your life. Something easily repairable, refillable and reusable, something that only needs to be made once and will last you the rest of your life and even be able to be passed onto your children et al. Now that really saves resources and pollution and a whole lot of breaks within seconds of the warranty expiring fucking frustration.
So you wish the German people had been paying more attention to their democracy and did not get sucked in by a bunch of lies. "Kinda like I wish current european leaders would do something more affirmative than "dialogue" with *CORRECTION*, The US Military Industrial Complex and the $5 billion dollar coup in the Ukraine. No coup no 'SUCCESSFUL' annexure of the Crimea (A US fuckup because Russia knew exactly what was going on all along and basically used the opportunity provided by the US to get exactly what they wanted and are letting the mess continue just to further embarrass the clumsy and stupid US State Department and force the EU to fix it at their expense, so they will learn why not to trust the US).
