He thinks the government should have full access to you all the time to "stop crime".
Yet he posts videos on YouTube with his face blurred out and his voice altered so he doesn't get fired from jobs. It's okay for HIM to have privacy, but he doesn't believe anyone else should have it.
Based on what you told us, his argument was that the government should have access, specifically to stop crime. Not corporations or other government entities (ie: his work). So, this doesn't seem hypocritical or a conflict of interests.
Skype for example doesn't have a serious spam problem
Speak for yourself. I have a common name 'Ash', and this earns me multiple spam contact requests a day. I have no baysian filtering or auto filters that work on Skype, I do on my e-mail. I consider the spam situation worse on my Skype currently.
it is harder to fake accounts
Why do you need to fake accounts on Skype when you can make genuine accounts look like others?
you can refuse messages from anyone who you don't first invite
I see the messages in the contact request, despite setting do not allow anyone on my contacts list to contact me.
Something that's not possible with email.
I have a whitelist system that works fine if I want to use it, in my e-mail. It's part of Zimbra opensource edition.
I did, on my PS3, I was getting 30fps max at 1080p. Some games like Resident Evil were dipping as as 3fps at times for scenes. They didn't perform well on the Playstation.
No graphic card company ever focuses on doing a decent driver.
I can receive SMSes just fine on a landline in the UK using a standard phone handset. If I want to receive SMSes on a PC, I can setup an ISDN modem to do so too.
People like me whom have data turned off automatically when the screen is turned off to save battery life. The cost of receiving SMS notifications is at no cost to me (I get plenty of server notifications) and the cost of an SMS plan I can get is nothing to cry about.
ALL of these have since been lost and had to result in going back to carrying around an extra device or two just to accomplish the same task that was possible just a few years ago with a cell phone and USB cable.
I don't get the problem. Stuff like Micro USB drives or are way more portable and easy to carry around than a cable alone.
Retail Windows 8 is allowed to be upgraded to 8.1 for free - it slips in as a Windows Update.
Uh, everytime I install a retail copy of Windows 8, I have to upgrade it through the Windows Application store (which requires sign in to a Microsoft account), not Windows Update. How did you get Windows Update to do it?
Even though no matter what system I am on fresh install or not, windows or mac, pretty much within 1-2 weeks the computer becomes unusable because firefox is open(and the only addon I have enables is adblock).. Kill task it and my computer is back to normal.
I don't have this problem with Firefox and I also don't have adblock installed.
On this computer chrome has been open for about 2 months now with a normal amount of memory usage.
The only stuff I have running that long continiously are server applications on servers. I close my webbrowser about four times a month on my main PC (not related to performance issues).
1) Perform a clean install of Firefox. The underlying OS doesn't matter. Don't install any extensions, either. 2) Use this Firefox installation. Browse some web sites. 3) Observe how Firefox is slow. There is a noticeable delay when using a menu. Pages are slow to render. Interacting with the page is slow. 4) Observe how Firefox is using an unreasonable amount of real memory. It can often be in the gigabytes for relatively short and typical browsing sessions.
I've been using Firefox for years and I have not experienced this.
Any Mozilla dev should be able to reproduce the problem.
I'm not a Moz dev and I can't reproduce this. Why would a Moz dev be able to when I can't?
If someone does as you recommend, what should he do to help other people find his video? YouTube shows only other YouTube videos in the recommendation column, as is its right.
Upload a video to youtube that is a tiny sample telling them to click the video to see the full video.
I know this thread is done but just in case you see this
I always get e-mail replies, so I don't miss responses.:)
In hindsight, it seems obvious that somebody in a high position recognized the offensive potential of the internet.
I would also say that if they didn't, they had a risk that someone else would create an 'internet'. Being the first network was probably a strategic advantage to ensure nobody else could dominate the network.
I have no doubt that the Soviet Union was the intended target.
I find it amusing that.su to this day still exists on the Internet.
The defensive use of the internet (or more precisely, a packet based error correcting network) is easy to see; we can still communicate in spite of fog of war and infrastructure smashage scenarios and all that. The offensive use is only recently becoming clear to me.
I suspect that they didn't really envision how integrated the Internet would become in society as it is today though. Back in the 90s, it was hard to find Internet access, now it's hard to not find Internet access in some form.
Not really, they funded the development of ARPANET. The Internet was self was created by numerous organisations linking their existing networks, including ARPANET.
My ISP uses LINX, level 3 and SFINX however it also has a lot of direct peering with services, such as those from Cloudflare, Google, Amazon and Netflix etc.
Why is my connection only doing 10mb/s with DropBox and getting packet-loss, while I can use BitTorrent at 45/45 up & down at the same time and not have loss or latency?
Maybe your ISP has poor peering to Amazon Web Services?
the quick bursts are wrecking havoc with my ISP's traffic shaping via their Cisco router.
Sounds pretty shitty, I don't observe such issues on my VDSL connection (BT Infinity).
Let me know how well FTP scales as you add more nodes, and how it allows you to keep your data separate from other people's data while still allowing you to use their node for storage.
As I recall, it scaled really well in it's prime. Many people setup their own FTP servers for their own uses. It supported seperation of users on systems through credential logins, file permissions etc.
From what I have seen in the change sets, it appears most of the code changes were done after the early 90s, a vast majority appears after 2000 even, especially where ext3 and ext4 are concerned.
Considering the code to process ext2 filesystems can be activated and exploited by any untrustworthy plugged in USB stick, and the code is complex, old, and running in kernel mode (so any successful attack on it makes you get full control of the whole computer), I'd say it's a very sensible move to disable it
I'd say you didn't check the source and that's why you come up with stories like "code written in the early 90's".
Yeah, I have no idea what I'm talking about. It's not like I've actually worked in London and the City of London and I'm not sitting in a hotel right now in the City of London (yes, I took that just now, just for you. You may recognise the famous Lloyd's Building in that picture on the left side), oh wait.
It uses the same roads
What does this even mean? There are villages that use the same roads as towns, that doesn't make them part of that town.
the same utilities
Actually, the service departments are separated from London? But even if it weren't, it's still considered a separate 'entity' in culture, history, legality and geography.
By your logic, taking out a piece of a completed puzzle, covering it in a colored marker, and then putting it back would make that piece of the puzzle separate from the rest of the entire puzzle around it
By your logic, it must be part of America because America is connected by the same planet.

I have been receiving spam on Skype for years and it's not a standard. I don't understand how your argument is meant to prove anything.

Beaming has worked 100% of the time for me (NFC + Bluetooth combo)?
I've never tried another method.
I don't get the problem. Stuff like Micro USB drives or are way more portable and easy to carry around than a cable alone.
Is that your only real example? Sounds like an exception to the rule to me. What about a game from this year? Last year? The year before? etc?

So does FTP, anyone can run FTP.
So does FTP.
So does FTP.
I still don't like FTP.
