How about requiring posting subscribers to pass a test: one must prove, beyond all doubt, one's level of education, and knowledge of current events - the FACTS, not the media slant.
That may help. It seems most trolls are uneducated idiots that are there merely to create and/or spread unfounded gossip. And MOST media outlets do not help; being more interested in slanting a story or sensationalizing it!
You should be able to hire according to QUALIFICATIONS, not race, ethnicity, or any other political factor!
If you want to work for me, you need:
1) Be a US citizen;
2) to speak clear, complete English (such is my market);
3) be fully qualified for the position: prove your abilities and education;
4) NOT be a religious fanatic - preach on your own time, we sell and service REAL products and services;
4) show a sincere work ethic.
You are free to be black, brown, yellow, white, male, female, gay, straight, Muslim, Jewish,... I DON'T CARE!
IF you think I need more Hispanics on my workforce, then educate (them) and send them my way!
Large corporations are taking selfish liberties with you! We enacted pollution regulations for very valid reasons - to help save the planet and mankind.
Along comes corporations that defy regulation - for whatever reasoning - so as to allow them to market illegal products; knowing damn well that they will be perceived as being too big to punish!
I say bullshit on that. Pay up, and stop the breaches. If you collapse, then so be it. It is upon us all to keep honest. Jail all the culprits.
Sorry. With the recent decline of real journalists covering our asses at government events (affording government more opportunities to get corrupt), and the un-trust-worthiness of our government and corporations, the coming of "Big Brother" is upon us!
Solved, perhaps for you. Yet the unethical, criminal robo call is still there. Not everyone can manage via sending all non-contact-listed calls to VM.
For example, what if a hospital is trying to reach you regarding an immediate emergency with your daughter? It is likely that number is not in your contact list. Odds are that most people have no entry for any hospital, not to mention the many numbers that most hospitals have.
and that is just one, small example.
The point is that, while your solution may work for some, robo calls in general are fundamentally wrong. All unsolicited marketing calls are fundamentally wrong. We, the people, have an unalienable right to privacy, and SHOULD be offered options to OPT-IN rather than OPT-OUT of any list. Just for starters....
YOU, a fellow citizen, should be OUTRAGED - at the AP and other media outlets! What a twisted slant the AP has on this info!
The fact that there MAY have been inadequate research on floss (to meet government regulations for a listing) is absolutely NO basis to presume it 'may' not be beneficial! It 'may' ALSO actually be beneficial!
Is there a PAC of dentists that bought this misleading headline, in hopes of drumming up more clients?
WTF?! Here's a real headline for you: "News Reporting Agencies May Actually Be Detrimental To The Welfare Of Citizens and Need More Regulation".
One: This is a cost we really need not be taking on. These are monies far better spent on drones, and defense systems. With today's technologies, there seems very little reasoning to spend sooooo much on such an overly-expensive airplane. Cut the quantity to 33% to 50%. Then use the remaining funds to improve our other important defenses and drones. And then take the leftover funds and help our citizens! How about funding our Vets?...education?...infrastructure jobs?
Two: Now that this abomination of a weapon is 'ready' to deploy, it will be interesting to see the issues and bugs this fighting platform (still) has. Prepare to be smothered in stories about failures and excuses...
No freaking way! Here in the USA, we have a Constitutional right to privacy - as a FUNDAMENTAL right, thus a GIVEN. ANY party, whether another citizen, or a corporate entity, is OBLIGATED to honor that privacy as a FREE and UNALIENABLE right.
Thus, if you want to know something about my private life, YOU need to pay ME - IF, and only IF, I decide to sell you my privacy.
Corporate biz models have gotten severely twisted; such that these entities seem to think that they have rights beyond a HUMAN citizen. They have taken capitalism beyond where it serves ALL people. Capitalism needs to be severely regulated so as NOT to allow any infringement on PEOPLES' rights. It is NOT in the best interest for any entity to have the unregulated right to decide what is in MY best interest. Knowing my 'private' stuff does NOT necessarily paint an accurate picture of me. It only gives you a tool (i.e. weapon) to subvert things (i.e.money) from me.
If you want to know what products I might be interested in, then ASK me!
You have got to be kidding! What are you talking about?!
Not all of those reporting science get it correct. And, potentially broken scientific 'evidence' should be disclaimed as such. Yet, the vast majority of evidence actually points to real world experience.
Perhaps cutting edge physics borders on the philosophical and is beyond most folks (Americans, at least) ability to grasp (mostly due to poor education); yet empirical evidence speaks for itself, even if one refuses to accept it.
What needs to happen is that our freedom of speech needs to be check with requirements of disclaimers of sources and clarifications of origination. Just because big corporations say it does not make it true. Just because I say it makes it just as subject to scrutiny. Believe what you want; yet do it at your own fault/cost, not on my cost or time.
Then I say: HEY! Get your freak'n pole out of my yard then! You made the local gov give YOU access to my yard edge. So, let more competition in or get your pole OUT of my yard! Eminent do-fucking-main!
Can I sue M$ for all the time I spent making sure Win10 *wouldn't* be put on my Windows 7 development machines?
In a fair world, yes. Yet, we have allowed 800-pound gorillas like MS have unrestrained control. It is unethical and offensive at best. I PAID for Win 7 Pro, and I want to keep it. Win 10 offers me NOTHING except another learning curve. So, I agree - stop it or pay ME!
stop being corrupt and people will stop hating you.
its really simple. too simple for the low-IQ types that inhabit the police force, sadly.
...or the lower IQs of the people that get caught-up in these incidents. If a cop tells you to get down, get the hell down! You will get a chance to explain.
I have heard another statesman - actually a Presidential candidate - spout similar calls for magic! Mr Trump has also claimed other intents that can only magically happen! You know, like build a wall and make Mexico pay, or ban all Muslims, etc...
Agreed. It is more likely that the premise of settling to avoid further litigation costs actually was that MS knows it would loose all appeals. So, if MS is going to loose anyway, then cut the losses by settling now.

The USA has been impossibly over budget for decades - the national debt for $$$! Now we can ad outliving our time!

Don't forget to correlate this with the test on mice. It allows a hypothetical deduction. This is, no doubt, offered with cautious consideration.
Does this mean that insurance for space travelers will go up?
Chances are that they got hacked.

Are YOU willing to be subjugated?
Walmart is subsidized by your's truly - the US taxpayer. Will that subsidy now increase to afford this acquisition?
And, $300M in stock is not cash - until it is cashed.

Yes. He lives in the moon; the hollow moon.
Comcast limits their MODEM compatibility; many of which also have integral routers. The FCC needs to look into the MODEM limitations.

Are those Twinkies, et al, really edible?! Surely the gov could outlaw them for kids, as a step to curb the obesity epidemic in the USA.
Now they may even get cheaper!
If Gene wanted Sulu to prefer penises, he would have given him a vagina.

Why can't we just put an honest, sincere leader into office: Bernie Sanders?!
Why do we need to persist in avoidable drama that is pointless and a waste of the people's most valuable time and concern?!
Am I on Candid Camera?!

Is Putin and Trump related in any way?!
Did you hear? Pilip Morris has completed a decade long study that proves that cigarettes are good for your health. And, they verified that!
Can you believe that?!
Agreed. It is more likely that the premise of settling to avoid further litigation costs actually was that MS knows it would loose all appeals. So, if MS is going to loose anyway, then cut the losses by settling now.
