In other news, Google has decided to display hardcore pornography on its homepage when users modify their hosts file and point google.com to pornhub's IP addresses.
You have a right to Free Speech, not a right to get paid for it. Youtube could pay a million dollars to each video that literally said that Hitler did nothing wrong, and that would not change Free Speech in the platform. Now, if they started removing comments that didn't say that, then maybe google did forget about do no evil and it went full Nazi, but as long as they are not removing content for its political commentary, or because it upsets its advertisers, there is still Free Speech on the platform.
Have people really become so self entitled that they think they have the right to get paid to say shit on the internet?
A) There is this little thing called "The Internet" that people use to send each other information. Why the hell would someone go to the risk of keeping a thumb drive that can be identified as in their possession and have their fingerprints, when they can just send an encrypted file?
B) I doubt the dog can smell memory in particular, he can probably just sniff electronics. Everything nowdays has some kind of electronic component, I doubt this will be very useful.
Damn, time flies. When they took it down, I was really pissed. I tried other readers, but eventually realized reddit was a better option. I just subscribe to subreddits that might carry the content I want instead of to the feeds directly, this means news from the all the sources I want are aggregated, but by users that filter the content for me. Much better experience.
The Fisheye distortion is insanely annoying. If you are going to use fisheye lens, don't pan the camera like crazy. Who the hell does several 360s in a row with a fisheye? Insanely annoying distortion...
I used to hate how the web had outgrown the internet. I use the Internet a lot more than I use the web. I usually keep more SSH connections than open tabs, and my torrent traffic far exceeds any web use. Well, we're coming to an even sadder reality: Not only has the web eaten the Internet, a handful of websites are eating the internet.
The solution to this is obviously to avoid facebook/twitter and all that shit like the plague.
Regardless, how can they sue somebody for doing a fucking greasemonkey script? "This software tinkers with our webpage" seems to be their logic. Well, so does every browser on planet earth. HTML is a declarative language, you REQUIRE a user agent to interpret your webpage. Essentially, you are telling the user "well, here is this information, and we think it should be displayed sort of like this". That's it. The user can either parse the code on his own (aka just read the source), or write some code to do it, or use somebody else's code to parse it. How are the actions performed by this script any different from what any browser does?
If you publish a website, everytime it's displayed, you are acting as GUESTS in my computer, no the other way around, and you'll play by my rules.
Whoever pays anything for any fraction of a season, or any other TV show, when it is available on The Pirate Bay is beyond me. Don't get me started on bluray box sets.
At least the NFL doesn't harm anyone. Churches do, they harm society as a whole, and they are still tax-exempt, even when they break the rules and get involved in partisan politics.
You are trying to spread free, good code around, useful to a lot of people? Trying to contribute your knowledge and work to the community? How dare you! We're going to tax you into oblivion.
If, on the other hand, you are in the business of spreading lies about nonexistant magical beings in the sky and lobbying to get even more conservative, retrograde politicians in order to prevent people from having abortions, marrying, or otherwise being happy and doing what they want with their lifes, sure! here's your friendly tax exempt status. Don't worry if you break the rules either, turns out we need a certain high ranking officer we haven't had in a while, and we we'll never hire again, so go on! keep fucking up society, that is certainly not taxed!
Well, both the the British and Argentinian populations can be distracted through either football or war, and both Thatcher and Galtieri had already exploited football enough, so it was war they required.
Yeah, well, honestly, I'm a good pilot, and I have excellent reflexes. I drive defensively, always alert, and I can avoid most accidents. I was involved in an accident ~3 months. An idiot merged into the highway at high speed without looking or any warning, I was doing ~95km/h, I dodged him but lost control while doing so, and hit the floor at that speed.
I was lucky, I didn't hurt myself at all, and the motorcycle just had some broken plastics, I was able to just ride out of there. The asshole didn't even stop.
I understand the risks, but I'm willing to take my chances.
I get your point. Sure, it doesn't apply everywhere, but it applies in 70% of the world. it hasn't snowed here since '92, but we do have chilly winters, it's -2C right now, and I just drove 12.5km to get home, through heavy crosswinds and zero visibility. I just fucking love riding on two wheels, cold or not. It's enjoyable, it relaxes me. I leave the problems at work on the road and get home happy as a clam.
Regarding groceries/passengers, etc., well, as I said, I leave 12.5km away from the city, and the stores around are closed by the time I get home, so I usually do my shopping on the city. Yesterday I brought ~5kg of meat and ~2kg of vegetables using just the storage below the seat and a small backpack. I do have additional storage (saddlebags and a top-box) that I can just attach to my ride if needed. And I'm used to riding with one on the back, not a problem. I've taken two people too many times.
I have tried snowmobiles in Argentina, in Bariloche. Loads of fun. I just happen to live 30 meters from the beach, in a city where it hasn't snowed since 1992.
Cars park by the curb, and if you park your motorcycle there, some asshole will move it to make room for his car. It's happened to me every time I parked that way. Fuck that.
It rains like hell all year in here, and right now it's -2C, well below freezing. And I just drove 12.5 km through heavy crosswinds in almost zero visibility to get home.
I'm a software developer, I own 50% of the company, so I can dress however the fuck I want, but I dress formally most of the time. If I need to wear a tie that day, I just change at the office.
I drive a 110cc motorcycle everywhere I go. I do ~60km every day. It goes up to 95km/h, it fits anywhere, I don't have to worry about parking, I just leave it in the sidewalk right at the door wherever I go, I never get stuck in traffic since I can fit just about anywhere. If the road is truly congested, I just driver over the yellow line, nobody ever seems to use that space anyway;)
And my fuel consumption? I go through ~1.5 liters of shell v-power every day, or around 1.6 dollars taking into account the fuel price and exchange rate where I live (Argentina).
It's a lot more fun and enjoyable than riding a car, it's cheap as fuck, and it's certainly more eco-friendly than the most advanced electric car.
If I have to travel out of town, I take a motherfucking train.
The name was IBM PC DOS, but the box said IBM in HUGE white letters over a grey background. Below that it said "DOS". That was it. Later versions included the PC-DOS Brand prominently on the cover, mine (pre 5.0) didn't, so I call it IBM DOS. Sue me.

Holy shit, I didn't know that. I guess it fits the profile.
I think we are on several watchlists now. Enjoy.
Probably, but if the premise of the small flash drive for smuggling CP was implausible, a bulky HD is even more so.

So much this.

It's actually kind of funny, he could have just joined the catholic church and done that for free!
Apparently Ulbritch kept his bitcoins in 8 barrels buried in the desert

The world is a seriously fucked up place.

Stopped in heavy traffic? On a motorcycle? How does that work?

Tell them you have experience with BOTH decades-old software AND murdering children. That goes right down their alley.
