Honestly, having never used the paid versions, I'm not sure. Sorry if that's the case; though since they're based on the same code, I'd then wonder why the free version is marked beta.
Well, duh. Google marks apps as beta so they have no uptime or reliability requirements to the end user. You can't blame businesses for wanting software they've paid for to not have such an inherent disclaimer.
I remember going through DARE and how my peers became interested in cannabis and alcohol soon afterwards. DARE had little to no effect on my age group.
Thank God for that. I suspect it does have a lasting effect on more people than you suspect however. Consider that your peer group is not the same as other peer groups, who may be more susceptible to such indoctrination. Geeks tend to be more questioning than most.
Don't get me wrong, I despise the "war on drugs" just as much as the current attempts to move technology back twenty years. I'm just saying that judging by the previous DCTF ad, they're aiming this at kids, and we should have some sort of counter argument ready for those who don't see the flaws of it immediately.
I bet if I showed this new video to the average 12 year old, they'd think it was some kind of internet sketch comedy thing.
Ah, but what happens when they target it at a younger audience who doesn't know any better?
Throw it into a DARE program (anti-drug education for those outside the US; called VIP in some areas of Canada) targeting 10-year olds who don't yet understand its stupidity, let it sit for a few years. Bingo, a generation of well-trained consumers who think free information is pure evil.
It's absolutely true, because the developers must have loved it. They just can't use the actual acronym in any of their advertising for trademark reasons.
Very little bandwidth is being "wasted" here since audio isn't being piped through Tor (note that I specified www.pandora.com as the server to proxy; audio data is piped over subdomains of pandora.com, so they get sent directly and not over Tor).
And frankly, I think this is within the spirit of Tor. I'm using the system to access information that's being denied to me because of my origin. How is this not "anonymization"?
FYI, this doesn't put audio data through Tor, just the website, so we're not slamming you. For whatever reason, Pandora doesn't check the GeoIP on the audio servers, just the interface.
Go to Torstat. Select the US CC and click Search. Click the sort buttons (the >) for Running, Fast, Exit, Stable, and Valid. Note down the nodes that come up.
Open your torrc file. At the bottom, add the line
StrictExitNodes 1
And then a line that begins with the word 'exitnodes', a space, and then a comma-separated list of the nodes found earlier. Save. Restart Tor.
Open up Firefox. Click the FoxyProxy status bar in the lower right. Make sure it's on "patterns" mode (the mode selector is at the top). Click the Proxies tab. Double-click the Tor proxy. Click Add New Pattern. For Pattern Name, type Pandora. For URL pattern, type this:
"http://www.pandora.com/*"
Without the quotes. Make sure it has Whitelist and Wildcards selected. Click OK and OK again to get out of the Pandora config.
You can't have condomless sex, so it becomes more desirable. Start having condomless sex, and you want to have sex with a condom.
BULLSHIT.
I have had sex both with and without a condom and I assure you, I never once wished that I was wearing one when I wasn't. Now, I'm not saying that all men are like that, but judging by my sibling posts (and the opinions of countless other people I've hard over the years), it would seem to be the vast majority.
The parent is stereotyping, generalized, sexist tripe.
And yes, you can be sexist against men. Thanks for playing, please take your pop "explains it all" psychology to thirty years ago where it belongs.
Slashdot Mirror
I approve of this forced Slashdot meme.
Peter Noone, formerly of the band Herman's Hermits, gets blamed for everything. Apparently gives a shit.

Err... medical malpractice, much? I hope you didn't have any permanent damage.
It would be a disaster to some business.
Specifically, the kind that doesn't want to adapt, so they try to hold the rest of the world back.
Unfortunately for them, the rest of the world is pretty damn strong.

They're gonna be really pissed when we get Star Trek-style replicators that allow just that.

Clearly they should just inject their employees' faces with botulism.
The median twitter user [itnews.com.au] makes one post, then abandons the account.
I did that on purpose.

I used to have problems with it. And then I stopped doing tech support as a career and started using Linux personally.
Ignorance is bliss.
The PHP documentation maintainers just got a +1, Awesome in my book.
What makes you think that GGF won't be bought by a conglomeration of movie and music recording studios?
Absolutely.

Get Firefox.
Get Tor.
Get the FoxyProxy FF add-on.
Go to Torstat. Select the US CC and click Search. Click the sort buttons (the >) for Running, Fast, Exit, Stable, and Valid. Note down the nodes that come up.
Open your torrc file. At the bottom, add the line
StrictExitNodes 1

Access Pandora.
You're welcome.
Also, I will be the first to admit the typo and/or Freudian slip there. :^D

Errr... ever stop to think that some people may have a libido higher than yours?
only the stupid fucks that dont get a vasectomy.
Lulz. Cause of course, no men might want children in the future but not now.
Not anything I've done, anyway.
Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. Oh, for the lack of an edit button.
Anyway, I used to do that sort of thing, but I've tried to avoid it nowadays. I try to prevent supporting them in any way.
