Dipstick moron fuckwit, you can buy up the land and surround it with forest, you can't possibly be so stupid. Of course you could do the fucking same in the city but then it wouldn't be a city it would be a fucking forest, you fucking idiot. Swear words are compulsory in this case.
Never blame children for the sins of their parents. Looking to blame immigrants of this era, excluding Israelis, for the psychopathic genocidal acts of past generations of immigrants could hardly be considered fair. So a measure of guilt for benefiting as the result of psychopathic genocidal acts, certainly, do I support those acts, of course not, do I recommend and support proper reconciliation and recognition, of course. I'll do my bit to wash my hands whilst others choose to bath in blood and celebrate the thefts and mass killings.
What a crock, you have sonar, radar, lookouts, officers on the bridge, coxswain in at the con. Only arrogance could have caused those crashes and forcing right of way. The, 'er', we didn't see the merchant vessel that anyone else could see from several kilometres away is no bloody excuse. No matter which way you look at it, a professional crew that could not fail to miss a major merchant vessel is either drunk, wildly incompetent or driven by massive erections. How incompetent, how egoistic https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... that incompetent.
How about, the lead addled ignorant zombie bots of America will immediately obey any advertisement upon view. The only real measure of that would be how many fell trap to click bait and clicked. The world, unfortunately is a breeding ground for annoying click bait and being an English speaker, the most annoying country is the US, a click bait market in every area of media, from small to large, to compete they join in from all over the world.
It was really pathetic and shameful when the US government joined in on the click bait stories but hopefully they will realise how unproductive it really is (pissing people off with unproductive clicks waste their time and annoys them, hence you have paid to do damage to your image and brand).
Think how many ads a day, an internet user is subject to many ads on nearly every single page view. The number boogles the mind, definitely in the thousands and done over a year in the hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions. One ad becomes near invisible, hundreds are required to force awareness and profound annoyance, unless on that rare occasion they are actually interested and that will most likely occur when the ad aligns with content ie food ad with food content.
If they are looking for that political content, they will find it, if they are not, shoving it in their face will just annoy them. The person who decide a large percentage of American citizens deplorables, this to be repeated by the internet, hundreds of millions of times ever since, they were by far the most divisive in US history since the civil war.
What this news story is really all about, is automotive manufacturers are starting to eye the massive new vehicle market that would be created by forcing the swap from the infernal combustion engine to electrics and the likely subsidise that could be had from government, for new electric vehicles and conversion kits (likely to be quite a high subsidy to make it viable). That new electric vehicle market would be huge when ti comes to replacing so many old vehicles.
The electric tricycle could be number one seller for quite a few years. Needs to be really cheap, a tricky design. Likely the two seater passenger compartment as a bouncy, intrusion resistant cocoon where the seats are part of the structural element of that cocoon, so it reclines forward and back rather than the seats within it and all the bits snap off absorbing energy as they break away, motors, battery, wheels, fenders and bumpers.
Slashdot much like your own body continually dies. You know your are dying as we post, countless dead cells haunting your carcass to be replaced by new cells, you have continually died and reborn since you were first conceived. So as for slashdot, people will move on, newcomers will join, some will hung around till the day they die. The open exchange of ideas around the geek/nerd news of that day. Tearing it apart, putting it back together in new ways just because and injecting new ideas back into the human gestalt in affect programming the AI that is the internet. Slashdot certainly continually changes over time.
Looking at the impact of the Breach of Equifax financially and how that benefits their competitors, you have to wander at major corporation level where income directly ties to bonus, how much would executives spend to knock out a competitor, perhaps a million dollars, probably, if say a $10 million bonus when a large chunk of a major competitors income suddenly shifts to your corporation. Corporate wars, really do happen now, psychopathic greed and giving them power was guaranteed to make it happen, there are many corporations who will kill for profit, so what is a little douche bag computer hackery compared to that.
Yeah, because we all need global positioning satellites, when we are either dead or hiding underground when the nuclear missiles fly. All I see is a propaganda scam to cover US naval officers illegally forcing right of even when those ships they are targeting with the US navies ego, can not make the manoeuvres they to force of them.
Reality for a military vessel like a destroyer, if the captain of that vessel, ever allows a slow barely manoeuvrable merchant vessel, even on purpose, to ram it, they should be fired for inability to control their vessel. Maybe not in port but definitely when out to sea. They are paid to keep vessel and crew safe not ponce about with their ego or the ego of the regional commander.
Why would not politics exist on slashdot, nerds and geeks have political issues just like regular folk and you know what, they can use technology to get their ideas across as well as obtain political change.
How about a third factor authentication, you know the one where end users get to authenticate that it is real political bullshit, coming from real bullshit politicians, those corporate lies that CEO tells to rip us off democratically, so you know, WE CAN BLOCK THEM, automatically. All paid political messages instantly block. If there are any politicians we want to hear from, we will contact them first. Google fuck off with you political spam.
Well to be fair and adhere to the law, should it continue, than legislation would be forced to ensure the safety of drones ie their blades would need to be shrouded to protect the birds when they choose to attack. As to putting on stuff to attack the birds, well, get caught and face a high risk of a short custodial sentences, something in the months. Replace plastic blades with steel ones and likely that sentence would blow out to years. As long as the birds attack drones and not people, basically, suck it up and fly elsewhere.
As always it depends very tightly on the genetic modification. In this case mosquitoes resistant to the malaria bugs so it can not longer live them and hence be spread via those mosquitoes, sounds pretty safe. Obviously the mosquitoes are happier as they are thriving and out breeding unprotected people, people might not be as happy because still noisy irritating mosquitoes, healthier ones but at least no malaria. Well, you can't have everything.
Whether or not it is stolen land is entirely arbitrary as long as you can kill anyone who tries to take it back. Kind of the standard operating practice for America and Americans, no one owns anything until they own it, as long as they can kill to take and keep it. Evil is, as evil does.
So now every single IP in Russia is the Kremlin, every single one. No Russian individuals have IPs in Russia, no companies have IPs in Russian, no Foreign companies operating in Russia have IPs. Every single internet protocol address leads to KGB headquarters in Moscow controlled by Vladimir Putin himself personally, whilst he sits half naked astride a Kodiak bear, he needs no keyboard, he controls the entire internet more than Google, Twitter, Facebook, and all the other American media corporations and not to forget all those media stations in the rest of the world owned by US corporations, behold the power of Putin as he kicks all their asses, by the power of his mind alone.
Just like NATO fears the Russia military with something like twenty times the funding of the Russian military (I know that's not really fair because the bulk of NATO military funding is stolen by corporate profits, so whilst they spend twenty times as much, they only get something like three or four times the military and a lot to that stuff doesn't work that well, because profits strip quality, reliability and durability and operational use of that equipment is demonstrating exactly how much usability corporate profits have stripped away, can't even hit the targets any more in the majority of instances).
I think the US government has lost the plot entirely. You are meant to make them look powerful and evil, not just make yourself you pathetic, incompetent and corrupt. Obviously the corporations know full well they do not need to defend themselves from Russia or China, hence crap broken equipment with massive profit margins and a broken military (cruise missiles fall out of the sky, ships can't steer properly any more and run into things, they continually hit civilian families instead of the targets they are aiming at, their claim not mine and in the event of natural disasters the US military is completely and utterly incapable of assisting the public, simply too small and ineffective to be able to help).
They could be raised up a water tight shaft made of stone. So entry at the bottom of the shaft, securely water tightly block the entry to the shaft and then fill the shaft full of water raising the stone on it's floating platform. You are still having to shift the same mass up to the top by hand but now you are doing it bit by bit carting water up there. If you have more than one shaft, you can regain some efficiency, by using the full shaft to half, fill other shafts. You could also displace water with sand and let the sand flow out afterwards.
It is not about copyright it is all about the establishment of content distribution monopolies. They do not want content creation and distribution competition, it will send them and their crap marketing driven content bankrupt. This is all about creating publishing monopolies on the internet to censor all expression that can not pay millions of dollars to be accessible to the public, the old model.
This road trial thing is really suss. What company could afford to turn public roads into an automation laboratory, civil suits worth millions on a mass scale. I'll bet you start to see a bunch of $2 companies that can easily borrow hundreds of millions to dollars rent the stuff they need and when lots of accidents occur, it goes belly up overnight and all the assets transfer to another $2 company, rinse and repeat.
You miss just one little thing. Virtual reality glasses, not the monstrosities but compact fixed view glasses, no bigger than regular glasses with lenses fitted by an optometrist, ground to suit your vision and with a fabric shroud over the glasses and pulled up to your face to exclude external light sources as an option. So those glasses can effectively put a virtual high resolution 125'' screen right in front of you and you can hook the glasses to a smart phone. So portable hooked to servers can work and of course servers are Linux and portable is Android so Windows is dead and not to be missed after windows anal probe 10.
M$ was repeatedly warned by the market that the abuses of windows 10 would kill the windows phone and they choose to ignore those warnings, instead relying on their arrogance to what, I don't know, they clearly did not know, and their arrogance did nothing but kill windows phone. First blow, Windows 8 trying to force a mobile phone interface on desk top users to force acceptance of the windows phone interface and then the mass invasion of privacy of windows 10, where they call invasion of privacy telemetry and pretends it means nothing 1. The science and technology of automatic measurement and transmission of data by wire, radio, or other means from remote sources, as from space vehicles, to receiving stations for recording and analysis. http://www.thefreedictionary.c..., basically phone tapping with a fancy name. They should have provided a secure edition of Windows 10 over a year ago, they did not, so fuckem.
Speaking of money running out, "More than 85% of the UAE's economy was based on the oil exports in 2009." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... With electric vehicles and bans of fossil fuels appearing, panic and desperation will create all sorts of ideas. There is an ugliness hidden in the background of all this. When they don't want that oil any more, they will find excuses, sponsoring terrorism, to confiscate overseas investments of the Muslim Arab oil states, to pay the victims (with no new revenue coming in they will not be able to fight back).
That is still funding that should go to Australia's future, as in an Institute of Science and not subsidise sports advertising selling junk food, telling people to spectate and not participate.
Nope Russia is different across the board. There are three distinct groups, the professional politicians/bureaucrats, the oligarchs and organised crime. If you attempt to cross lines, you get rather viciously smacked down. The politicians and bureaucrats are dominant and organised crime the weakest but organised crime definitely do most of the killing and of course they provide services to the oligarchs. The Russians government has a solid history of wanting to break people in the Gulags over a decade or so, not killing them (you likely will survive but will be physically and mentally broken). Each group has very distinct areas of control, cross areas of control at your peril, this makes it hard to subvert government because you are likely to face repercussions from all three groups of different natures (so the Russian government might pursue you via the courts but taking no chances the Oligarchs might pay organised crime to get in there first and kill you and the Government might ignore that outcome as problem solved). So most definitely no corporations in partnership with corrupt government ie fascism, as in the US system. China is different too, where government are the oligarchs and organised crime and lose in that system and they prosecute you for the crimes, all of them commit and then straight up kill you.
M$ have repeatedly reset privacy settings upon compulsory upgrades for every single user and don't even try to pretend it has not happened and that would be a criminal act, under law, which was not prosecuted.
Why would I punish myself, I am going by people's reviews and I might watch it in a years time, if they manage to complete a full season (I like to binge, and mine was a general comment about that style of content, not specifically the current version of star trek, which from sci fi content specific reviews looks to be pretty crap). I am the odd man ought my favourite captain was Janeway and my favourite protagonist was Seven of Nine (I think she would have come off better with less boobies and more muscles), although I always did enjoy Chief Obrien character and of course Spock and the best at the helm were Sulu and Chekov. For me Kirk was by far the worst captain (that four season one was like all white male, nothing much good out of that one, except Doctor Phlox). Yes, I own all the DVDs but it seems very likely I will not end up buying any of this crap, just like the Jar Jar Abrams versions of star trek. I don't watch free to air because I do not want someone in my lounge room screaming at me to buy rubbish and no I will not waste one cent, trying it out.
Cheating on taxes is like file sharing, that upload cheating on someone else income, not the downloading. They fudge in stories but not in prosecutions and the are more than enough people foolishly file sharing, uploading copyrighted content for them to sue. So yeah, downloading not illegal, uploading very much in breach of copyright laws (note one side of the transaction is illegal but not the other side interesting that). So much like earning an income is not cheating on taxes but failing to declare that income for tax purposes is cheating on taxes. See the difference, of course you do but still they will choose to try to scare people.
To attempt to forecast on luck is called gambling and is mainly wishful thinking. I attempted a forecast based upon current circumstance, nothing more. The electric trike market is likely to be the next big market due to low cost. Think people who own fossil fuel vehicles needing to travel into a city centre where they are banned, the cheapest access alternative will be the electric tricycle (motorbike would be cheaper but harder to learn). How good and sporty and all weather those designs become, well, that remains to be seen but there are some good examples out there now but mass produced ones will need to be cheap (to cover people owning an old fossil fuel vehicle and an electric tricycle, so a pretty big market and they will need to look good and perform well to pick up large numbers). Seriously, Tesla should consider it.
