Corrupt judges, who have be caught out by an extensive illegal wire tapping program, on the other hand,,,,. You seriously don't think NSA/CIA planned for this and made contingencies. You watch, zero prosecutions.
Say what? Are you joking? Seriously, c'mon just look at the sub $200 end of the market their are a many times more models of budget end mobile phones than there are models of smart phones. Want a cheap budget phone just to make calls, get one, literally thousands to pick from, want a smart phone get one just tens to pick from. Sync the two together wifi and problem solved, if your a woman with a purse, that man purse idea has yet to catch on and sometimes you are just to far from your car;).
Dude, the/. crowd has not been going down hill, you just growing old, you are now becoming the grumpy old dude http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhmjnYKlVnM (hope you're not doing it at a too early age).
The problem here is it is corporate and the lobbyists have worked for decades to purposefully create a system that the government is forced to work to. So that various major corporations can regularly rip the treasury off. The US government is trapped in a cycle of lobbyist corruption that purposefully runs down government services in order to privatise work via contracts that deliver virtually nothing but cost a fortune and purposefully make the government look bad so they can privatise etc etc etc.
Shit dude, I must be asleep or something bit I have noticed World War II going on around me. So it's either me or you that seems to be a bit mentally adrift. Also their doesn't seem to be a whole bunch of merchant vessel sailing around with nuclear missle's either. It makes a whole lot more sense to deal with the problems we do have than focusing in on the craziness of the military industrial complex and it's insane greed not only fighting imaginary wars but when that fails those psychopaths go out and purposefully start them.
That's a bit harsh. How about something more aligned with the truth, both sides tend to stick with where they have made their greatest intellectual investment and where they have their earned their greatest knowledge. When you have put all that effort into learning and contributing to a particle method set and achieved a high regard to abandon and start again with an alternate method and start at the bottom and work you way back up is always going to be a steep ask and people will resist unless they are convinced of the value of that change.
This only real speaks of Darth Cheney's extreme fear of death. It's hanging around all those right wing pseudo Christian freaks. It must be festering in the back of his diseased mind, "If there is a hell, I'll be really, really roasting for ever". Over a million dead to feed his greed, youch, when it comes to what might happen after death, it certainly unlikely to be good for him and it's hardly surprising he is desperate to put it off for as long as possible. Leaving in fear like that has to suck and likely is just a taste of his future.
PR=B$, lies for profit, that's reality. They have collected the shallowest, psychopaths and narcissists to spread lies as far and wide as possible on a for profit basis with total disregard of the consequences. They will pervert every possible medium of communication to feed the insatiable psychopathic greed to create the masquerade that other psychopaths and narcissists hide behind in their ruthless exploitation of everyone and everything on the planet.
They basically generate an income by betraying the whole of human society, that's the reality of PR=B$. Realistically the while industry should be shunned, it's employees ostracised, all services to the industry cut off and every effort made to kill the beast.
Retaliate? I don't think you have the right idea about the right to privacy, it wouldn't be retaliation, it would be a reasonable law. Time to lock down and even ban the trade in private data.
Some people lie, cheats lie and, the greedy lie the worst. Regardless of what they promised, what was written in the contract, what was in the tender documents, what are the regulations, they failed and pursuing the lowest tender is just the quickest way of finding the liars, cheats and thieves. Free enterprise is management by failure.
However, if the appliance was properly hardwired and preconfigured to all say 20% sharing of available traffic and bandwidth, all organised my the major company supplying the modem/router/home/social server, that's completely different.
Ahh, yes. As a building estimator contract administrator I was to base all my future medical procedures on the lowest tender, are you absolutely fucking nuts. You got any idea about how often that lowest tender turned out to be a disaster, poor job execution, demands of extra payment, incomplete job et al. Let's reiterate, your in the operating theatre, the surgeon makes his first cut, you scream, surgeon says, oh by the way, aesthetic, that's extra and it ain't cheap.
Smell that. You smell that! FUD son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I lover the smell of FUD in the morning. Appleocalypse Now.
Android is still growing. Places to expand to, the big screen TV, modem/router/home/social server (the next beg thing, the other end of an Android wireless VOIP phone call), the desktop, car, public transport et al. There are so many places to expand into, so many places that can offer up market opportunities for Google. Android ain't the money maker, Android is the wedge the opens up opportunities to make money, it can open up doors and keep them open.
Think about this. How about if people started sharing a portion of their wireless broadband, as a sort of pool of resource for members, a percentage of bandwidth and total traffic, so that wandering around the streets means that the majority if calls go over broadband rather than cellular. There is a lot of scope of what can be done with modem/router/home/social server a whole major market to explore. Why else do you think Google got busted listening in, they were exploring and researching, the next big market.
OK. Bullshit. I am dying of a heart attack, they are wheeling me into surgery and I shout stop, let's first negotiate how much this is going to cost me or even fucking better, a child is being wheeled into emergency surgery and the parent shouts stop, how much is this going to cost me, hmm, that's to much, sorry sweety you are just going to have to die. See, obvious blatant in your face 'BULLSHIT'.
Don't forget Australians free stuff is still better than US pay for. The top up private in Australia is to get past the waiting lists but still at a full service public hospital with a private room. As it works single payer basically subsidises private health insurance for those than can afford it and creates that too layers of service, which Australian conservative are trying to turn into too little, too late for those that can not afford private health insurance and this at the behest of the US government and US insurance companies.
This is not a recipe for a cookie as any reasonable person would accept - Sugar(?), unbleached enriched (niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mono nitrate, ribiflavin, folic aced, high oleic canola and or palm oil and or soy bean oil, cocoa processed with alkali(?), high fructose corn syrup, cornstarch, baking soda or calcium phosphate, salt, soy lecithin, natural and artificial flavour, dextrose. Now that is the recipe for a chemical product.
Especially when sugar no longer means surgar (cane sugar extract) but can be any type of sugar, natural and artificial flavour can of course mean anything at all, especially when natural means anything extracted from nature not matter how it is processed, so soybeans boiled in high temperature sulphuric acid is still natural as for artificial flavour exactly what is that anyhow. You can taste it, it's artificial but that's all we are going to tell you.
A "huge percentage of trash", I think you are a little misinformed yourself. The greatest threat to children, as it has always been and always will be is, da da da dum, 'OTHER CHILDREN'. They get into mischief, they more very poor high risk decisions, they are easily manipulated into doing foolish things by other children and they can be very nasty to each other.
This is why children are in fact supervised by adults most of the time and especially groups of children. The internet can be the worst possible instructor of what to do and what not to do and children should not have unlimited access to it.
Really rather than throwing in unskilled and ill-informed parents (all to many of them, often with little time due too work commitments). A simple child's only supervised internet needs to be created. Encrypted and locked down to registered users only monitored by trained professionals. Otherwise the problems are just going to get more out of hand. The adult internet is not a suitable baby sitter for children.
It is not after all how I view it but how outsiders or three letter agencies would view it and what they would do with it. Even formatting accidents can create problems with those asshats;).
How about this.
Closed source proprietary code is better because;
It is more bug free - Why? - Because we say so.
It is more compact - Why? - Because we say so.
It is more secure - Why? - Because we say so.
It is better documented - Why? - Because we say so.
OK, now if your are so sure, why don't you prove it and show me the code;D.
How about this message from the open source community to the any Department of Defence. Did you know that anybody with the money can buy Oracle and the source code and make any changes they want and screw your security right over. At least with open source you just like everyone else on the planet own the code and can refuse any changes to that code or make your own at any time you choose. Security of the Nation, don't base it upon defences that can be sold from out under it to the highest bidder (Corporations, money talks, patriotism walks).
'ER', shite for brains, you are accusing/.'er's of a criminal act for which there are severe penalties, now that's called slander. The only thing I have noticed, is that specific comments have been targeted as suspected government and military industrial complex propaganda and have been given a satirical drubbing. This is a place for geeks and nerds to exchange and challenge ideas, solve problems, have some fun all based around some current news stories or problems. It is not a place to be flooded with marketdroid trolls or government propagandists and both of those will receive short shrift and much satirical poking. So if your from the US DOD or Apple as current main offenders, post as individuals, fine, post as paid propagandists/advertisers well it's really lame and expect a negative response.
As for conspiring terrorists stories, well, without guns and stuff supplied by the claimed terrorists, as far as the majority of people are concerned they are either just mouthing off idiots who should be kept under observation or it is a government propaganda exercise or some government agents are looking for a promotion and have found some victims to exploit.
That's just a lie, you'll find all sorts of companies hard at it, oil, manufacturing, publishing, any multinational you can imagine, cheating for all you can imagine and corrupt shit head governments like Ireland greasing the theft of social services and infrastructure investment along the way.
The full ta should be paid at the point of revenue, anyone offshore expenditures need to be justified and audited, as proof of cost, any attempting at off shoring profits from local revenue should be penalised and the tax difference recovered.
Shit head governments like Ireland's should be left to wallow in the moral poverty.
Ahh, that conservative selective memory, you corrected with 'modern' in bold, you most certainly did not write 'modern', originally, interesting how you comment proves my rebuttal. To keep in with the spirit of your comment, liar, liar, pants on fire.
I seem to remember the first batch of tea baggers (until they could laughingly exposed to the harsh realities of the name) pointing at the Boston Tea Party participants as being the 'original' Tea Partiers. It being launched on some lame arse financial program, with the whole billionaire funded PR scam by Freedom works (hence the marketing reference to the 'Founding Fathers') to push it in the public eye and it went all over the place as various individuals tried to gain control over for personal for profit private advantage ie they wanted to get closer to the billionaires funding for a piece of that cash and well as donations from the gullible victims of the Republicans.
Every public action a fluffed up PR set managed by the Fox not-News network on behalf of the Fox not-News Network major advertisers. The whole tea bagger party thing is a scam from start to finish, that any got voted in, just makes conservative Americans look even more stupid than the rest of the world currently perceives them as being.
Conservatives, hmm, only ever remember what they want to remember the way they want to remember it, well, at least that's what they always claim. Yes, I know, reality has a Liberal bias;).
Across the globe of course everyone else other than the NSA working together will flood the NSA with a millennia per minute effort of decryption. As for those idiots who don't trust the government with email, why would you already trusted them with snail mail for decades.
Basically you have a country proposing to flood the internet with encrypted communications, obviously seeking other countries to create standards. The greater the level of encryption on more of the communications across the internet, magnifies any attempt at decryption and forces it attempt smaller and smaller captures of data.
Advertisers are targeted by advertising as well. Advertising main modern purpose to artificially inflate the desire for a product and hence artificially inflate the price, sufficient to pay for that advertising and of course the cost of producing an often junk product.
Advertising you pay for every cent of it with every advertised purchase you make. It is not free, even when to the consumer it has a real negative value, both in psychological harm and capital lost in producing better quality product.
In this case of course suppliers might well start to take fiscal offence and decide, "Fuck the retailer shelves there is no profit in it", let's all sell direct or via supplier controlled distribution warehouses with direct delivery". Eventually huge advertising budgets are going to collapse against direct sales and people telling the truth about crap products.

You can taste it, it's artificial but that's all we are going to tell you.
So cookies are not drugs but unknown chemicals inserted in foods under blasé labels most certainly could be highly addictive chemicals and knowing that cigarette manufacturers when they can under heavy fiscal pressure jumped to the junk food market and at around the time, the quality of junk food took a nose dive whilst you just have to eat one more came onto the scene.
