    Basically Trump was only elected so that the corporate Democrats and the corporate whore Clinton would not be. In fact the only thing expected from Trump is to lose the next election, along with the Republicans, to be replaced by a reformed Democrat party, well partially, it will take years to dig out the corporate stooges infesting politics.

    Clearly Trump has control over pretty much nothing, with the deep state ensuring it is neither investigated nor prosecuted whilst it wages the forever war across the planet and pillages us into extinction, to feed their psychopathic egos.

    Why not just make them work for free. Surely overseers and whips would be cheaper than paying a living wage.

    Reality is, when a worker does work that is meant to be worthwhile, they should be paid a living wage for that work, end of story. No fucking bullshit about nothing.

  3. What the fuck, fuckity, fuck, fuck insane bullshit are you claiming. Fucking prisons across the globe with millions of inhabitants and many of them would not only destabilise their own country to get rich, they would also rape, kill and eat you, if it would make them more powerful.

    Like all attacks it is worse in the country of origin where career criminals, who would not only destabilise their own country but kill everyone who tried to stop them, launched it. The Ukraine could not be more corrupt run by fascists to enrich themselves, the number one illegal arms supplier, so corruptly so, that they did not have arms to kill their own people, already sold to middle east and African terrorists.

    Ukrainian accounting software update was responsible for most of the infections and that could only have been an inside job.

  4. Facebook is a fad social media site full of people pretending to be what they are not. Controlling it, is like trying to define exactly what can be in computer games and what can not. Facebook is a game for public attention not different to 'Second Life', exactly the same make believe thing. The only thing giving life to Facebook is repeating the junk on there outside of Facebook, in main stream media and across other media platforms as if it is real, a reflection of reality.

No strip search, no stolen digital gear, no interrogations, not data mining, no illegally installed software on your devices, no rude and arrogant customs, just don't go.

  6. Are you seriously talking about software warranties of being any import what so ever, you must be kidding, what planet do you live one, certainly not this one with totally craptastic warranties, hey the software can cause billions in damages and kill thousands of people and the warranty will cover the cost of the software, right in the warranty in all piece of shit windows software it states that it is unfit for purpose.

    What should happen is governments with their software budgets should directly locally fund the development of open source software and then make it available to the public.

    The insanity of governments renting windows 10 from M$ with permanent lock in and bricking entire system if the extortion is not continued to be paid, why, just greed and corruption at the top.

  7. Far more likely to be an insider job. Ukraine is in economic melt down, which puts enormous pressure on it already corrupt work force, all sorts of insider shenanigans will occur and basically any Ukraine digital source should be kept way outside the security loop. It will get much worse. Great examples were provided out of China, Russia and the US, the more economic impact felt by the digital class, the far more likely they will corrupt their own systems for money. Never to forget, as budgets tighten, so system security spending collapses and successful attacks become inevitable. When countries economies go bad, so they become a much higher cyber risk and should be avoided, else you will be saving pennies to spend pounds.

The funny thing, I mean the really funny fucking thing, a dying M$ and three fad social media are trying to control humanity, not for the benefit of humanity by for their own psychopathic greed and egos.

    Take for example YouTube, all it takes is a change of mind by YouTubers ie you are not YouTuber, your video channel is not a YouTube channel, YouTube is just an empty file serving warehouse. So don't stop uploading to YouTube, what you do is run software, to upload all your video content to all video distribution sites simultaneously, effective hugely shrinking YouTube market share. Also link away from YouTube, people are going to see a video, if YouTube does not pay you for exclusivity, why provide it. YouTube is nothing without end user content, start getting that content uploaded all over the place across multiple platforms, eat into YouTubes market share.

    When it comes to twitter, seriously get over that bullshit, who gives a fuck about twitter, it only exist because the idiot twits are carried across to other media platforms, even the main stream media public relations bullshitters, without that carry across to other media platforms, twitter is dead, simply too dumb to exist.

    Facebook, meh, if you are still on it, you are yesterday's social media participant, it's the way of fad.

  12. The US government would not be forcing US companies to hand over data, they US government would be attempting to force US companies to break criminal and constitutional laws in other countries by breaking laws based around warrants searches and seizures, subjecting those executives residing in those countries to quite severe criminal penalties involving custodial sentences. What is required to happen, is a warrant is issued by the US government to gain data extradition permission from the target country in question who will obtain the data and pass it to the US government if the courts in the target country approve.

    Of course everyone knows by now they have been flagrantly breaking computer laws in other countries with the aid of US corporations, just not through the public court system, just through the extremely politicised secret rubber stamp court system. They can pass what ever the fuck laws they like, with plummeting US popularity and acceptance, they are going to get less and less cooperation and all those rapid deployment troops in other countries will be the core of occupational forces and many countries are starting to realise that.

    Nope. Quite simply Google was far better at marketing and good provided supplier pressure on manufacturers, enough to dominate the market with Apple, who are again extremely skilled marketers to come second. Why did Canonical fail, why did M$ fail, simply they could not stand up against Google and most important they failed to breach the upgrade market. Sick of Android on your phone, buy this USB stick, plug it into your phone and turn it into an Ubuntu phone (they should have focused on the cross grade market, rather than an entire phone, guaranteed to win the older phone market, the no longer upgraded phones, millions upon millions which are still floating out there and the ones that could cross grade to Ubuntu would be worth more on the second hand market).

    Choose the appropriate market, adjust your product offering to that market, market appropriately, get you foot in the door and leverage it for all you are worth to get the rest of you in.

You built where you shouldn't have, you were warned (even if they were telling you the opposite) and you did nothing, it's a normal cycle, you made happen by stopping the increase of carbon dioxide which would reflect heat out (don't even start on that one), God did it on purpose (I am not kidding about that one) and every other lie they can try.

    Smarter people who see the inevitable and make the location change will simply say I told you so, as they campaign for crimes against humanity trials and life prison sentences for the worst perpetrators and propagandists.

Jar Jar Abrams efforts were bad because they were stupid stories, told poorly but hey all the second set actions scenes were great even if they made no sense what so ever (Jar Jar ain't the bright, so stories are definitely not his forte but his action scenes are OK). Like most Sci Fi we can expect some good episodes and some crap episodes, the only thing is this case is Vulcan around or not and does anyone care.
