The T-1000 is the "liquid metal" terminator from Terminator 2, Skynet is the name of the computer that would start the man/machine war in the future (2004).
Stregano really seems to be using some sort of alternative language to regular English or rather English grammar with unkown assumptions. Let's dissect:
[Do you know what else is self healing...]...Wolverine and the T-1000. Wolverine was alive and the T-1000 was a machine. That's it, time to take out sky net!
Normalizing the first sentence here it says:
"Do you know what else are self healing? Wolverine and the T-1000."
Which is true. The second sentence is:
"Wolverine was alive and the T-1000 was a machine."
There are three 3 things wrong here, the fist is just weird; why using the past tense? Wolverine and *that* T-1000 both exist "now", from the point of view of either one's source work.
Secondly, "alive" here seems to carry a different meaning to just alive, one opposed to machine, he seems to mean "organic" or "biological". Although it must be mentioned that the T-1000 barely fits the description of machine as we usually understand it.
And of course thirdly, what does he mean anyway? Of course one is organic and the other isn't, so what? He seems to be drawing a conclusion from these premises but neither the context nor the conclusion is stated. He might as well be saying:
Wolverine is alive and the T-1000 is a machine. That's it, time to offer Wolverine some dinner!
Sorry for the rant there. Not a native anglophone myself, I still get a kick out of analyzing bad writing.
While I agree that is ridiculous. It makes sense somewhat. If your mail is readable by the Government, well that's just uncomfortable and a potential liability and an open door to abuse.
If your mails is readable by Google, then in addition of being searched for bombs and cilhd pron, you'll be searched for magazine subscriptions, sports equipment etc, with AIs analyzing you, psychologically profiling you, to find out not only what to sell you but how. And afterwards your information will be resold and resold until everybody has got a hold of it, including the government, just like nowadays the government buys information that it is not allowed to collect itself.
So it makes more sense to block Google and providers than the government, if privacy is you objective.
Of course this is a symptom of the lack of encrypted communications. If encryption were ubiquitous none of this would be a concern. The worst thing is that encryption is largely a solved problem, the only obstacle is public ignorance and apathy.
Well indeed Amazon is being attacked by "anonymous" but what anonymous is it? Is it the same as the last time? Or is it another anonymous? Is there really *one* anonymous?
My point is that anonymous is trivial to impersonate because it doesn't really exist the way the media portrays it. Therefore take any "claims from Anonymous" with a healthy dose of salt.
Anonymous is no one, no one can claim credit for "anonymous", for all we know it might as well be butthurt Scientologists, Habbo admins, or simply the government setting the stage for the Internet kill switch.
Do not buy into this.
They don't say "anonymous is not your personal army" without a reason, they say so because no one can address anonymous directly and direct it, because there isn't a cohesive group to direct, it's not even/b/astards or/v/irgins, it's whoever call himself A is A.
Thugs harass weaker targets for personal gain, don't engage unbeatable enemies making a stand.
How do you define freedom fighters then? Fighters fight who they think they have to fight, saying they are just thugs because they fight companies that behave in a manner they don't like... aren't all conflicts like this?
You nuked two Japanese cities full of innocent civilians and children because you didn't like what they did to the warships at Perl Harbor. You killed Saddam Hussein an threw his nation into a deeper hell hole because you didn't like his oil pricing. Heck, you sacrificed hundreds if not thousands of your own young men fighting against England just because you didn't like paying their king taxes.
So what makes them a thug other than fighting for something you *personally* don't like?
I'm even more shocked at the level of partisanship in this discussion. It's like astroturfing though I dread it be real.
Everybody is talking about how (A|a)nonymous is DDoSing Mastercard and how it hurts small dealers and how individual members are vulnerable and will be punished. What about the rednecks DDoSing Wikileaks? None of the pricks against Operation Payback seem to have anything to say about the Wikileaks DDoSers. Why haven't we heard of arrests of that group?
About the iPhone, I got that from here http://youtu.be/1ONXVE7QBCY @ 2:42 As for other phones, yes but at least they can be turned of, either way my complain isn't about the iPhone, it's about employers tracking employees outside office hours.
Am I the only one preoccupied that employers are shoving their employees with tracking devices? And given that you can't turn off or remove the battery form an iPhone what recourse these people have besides quitting their jobs? Dropping their phones in a metal lunch box?
It's been already agreed that it would not work like that,/b/ can easily conjure images that would forever scar the brain of the average Twilight forum-goer.
Did you know, even if you delete your profile, facebook feeds you a cookie anyway on every hit, they record your IP and crosscheck it with other sites to compile a list of ip's you've used along with every site you are detected to be in.
That info is aggregated into your "deleted" facebook profile anyway.
And did you know? Since many websites are willing to sell their users they alias their trackers to by pass the same origin policy, i.e. ad.hi5.com is actually ad.yieldmanager.com
This goes beyond collecting public data for marketing purposes and into population surveillance, these companies aren't trying to track you, they are trying to defeat any attempts people might devise to regain privacy, short of stop using any cellphones or the Internet.
Which makes a lot of sense when you realize facebook has ties with the CIA.
I develop a lot in python, and can tell you that no you don't see many bugs due improper indenting, at most it requires some manual adjusting to fix someone's code if he doesn't indent like the rest of the team, as long as everybody in you team uses the same indentation (which is why a 4 spaces community standard exists regardless how you feel about spaces) you shouldn't get any problems.

Thanks for my daily dose of sarcasm!
If you don't see much hate coming from Fox you probably don't watch Fox.
I mean seriously, that channel blows more hot hair than the space shuttle, how do you think they get satellites up there?
Yeah well, make your time.

The fuck? Stop putting words in my mouth, troll.
And that's even ignoring breaches like Gawkes'
As much as I'd really, really love to dismiss Stallman as a lunatic
Why? Because he is fat? Because he has a long beard? Why the desire to dismiss a man you know to be right?
RMS is always eventually right, years ago he was warning about Java and nay-sayers kept merrily nay-saying.
Look at the mess ORACLE has made of Java now.
He has eventually been right about so many things I was expecting that by now people would get it. Idealism is long term pragmatism.

Damn, some people can't get enough of the man.
But it really is the fault of the consumers that pay for it.
I'm talking about tracking employees outside office hours.
But then again if they are stupid enough to fall for that they may pay you extra time.
About the iPhone, I got that from here http://youtu.be/1ONXVE7QBCY @ 2:42
So i was wrong. But can you assure me it doesn't phone home while off?
About the iPhone, I got that from here http://youtu.be/1ONXVE7QBCY @ 2:42
As for other phones, yes but at least they can be turned of, either way my complain isn't about the iPhone, it's about employers tracking employees outside office hours.
Last time heard of it the iPhone still calls home when off so it's never really off.
Am I the only one preoccupied that employers are shoving their employees with tracking devices? And given that you can't turn off or remove the battery form an iPhone what recourse these people have besides quitting their jobs? Dropping their phones in a metal lunch box?
Wolverine joining forces with a T-1000 to take out skynet? Somebody give this guy 200M dollars please.
