I have confidence that I can keep MY computers secure from anything short of a dedicated state sponsored attack, but I am still vulnerable.
Anyone who I give my personal data to is a huge risk. Medical care. Employment. Shopping online. Almost any activity collects such data and these systems are compromised on a regular basis, sometimes with the disclosure of highly sensitive data.
Shit, I don't even trust my doctor's office to secure their infrastructure, but there's nothing you can do., because they will not give you medical care without entering your information into their computer systems.
You don't have to worry about *just* your doctor's office. You have to worry about the pharmacy database - every script in this country goes into one or both of two huge organizations that keep track of those little drugs. You have to worry about your insurance company AND the insurance clearing house. As well as CMS (Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Security, a wonderfully Orweillian name) and bog knows who else.
Might as well just post it on Facebook and stop bothering about it.
No, the real reason to do this is to see if anything actually happened. No, it probably won't change anything this election but we need to be damned sure that large scale electronic voting fraud DOES NOT occur.
If indeed, it's smoke, then fine. If there is credible evidence of major fraud we need to start rooting it out now, not in 2020.
This has nothing to do with being a 'flying ambulance'. That's just a silly thing that was stuck on the bottom of the funding proposal because it's really unlikely that it would cure cancer.
Right now it is nothing more than a research grant tool. Maybe in a couple of years, when the knock the wobble out of the landing, it can deliver pizzas.
So, they've found James Delmore Shapely. Took them a while longer than Gibson thought, but the good part (I guess) is that the Big Quake is still up there in the future.
Last time I printed something was for my home mortgage. For work? Only when HR wants me to sign something. I feel like the whole, I NEED PAPER!!!! Is a boomer thing. My mother literally printed everything for my college applications and funding. After college she hands it me and asks me to file it away. I spent an hour shredding all the paper... Paper sucks and there isn't a need for it anymore.
There are more things in home and office, AC Then are dreamt of in your philosophy.
In healthcare we do this all day long. Because nobody wants to pony up for some sort of terminal / PC everywhere we work. Sure, *some* stuff is on a tablet. Other stuff is on Windows and doesn't run on a tablet unless you are a Level 9 masochist. Print something out, have someone sign it, scan it in.
Sure, there are paperless solutions to that but they're expensive and don't always work. (Why hello Adobe, it's you again.) But paper is fast, cheap, functional
and recyclable.
Besides we have lots more serious problems to worry about than growing a couple of extra trees.
This is such an old complaint. These days you send your relatives (especially your relatives) to the very friendly Windows telephone support folks who called you the other day.
Good lord how does this crap even make it to the front page. From TFA:
But while the military and the diver believe they may have found the lost nuke of Bomber 075, Mr Septer says the diver's location is totally wrong, given what we know about the plane crash.
"It could be anything," Mr Septer said. "Whatever he found, it's not the nuke."
Now I realize that there is a long tradition on not reading TFA on/. but I had hoped that tradition didn't extend to the idiots actually posting the stories.
The Canadian military seems to think it a high enough chance to route a few ships towards it. This guy may have studied the incident and may have an opinion, but he may well be wrong. We don't have a GPS track of the plane. It happened a long time ago.
And you are completely discounting the possibility of some Godzilla-like creature slowly moving the device towards it's lair? Have you thought of that?
It's more the AMA than Republicans. They want test to be unreliable and expensive. Last time o had viral pneumonia, I ended up on the hospital and in a medically induced coma before they would help me.
Yeah, bad stuff like that always seems to happen to ACs. Amazing how much your life gets better when you log in.
Are you talking to the Dems or the Republicans? Is there some alternative universe where Republican congresscritters worked cooperatively with the Democratic president and settled their differences with studied debate instead of wondering where he was born? I must have missed that memo.

One of these answers is not like the others.
Got it all wrong there.

Just remember Mr. Right Wing dumb ass, you're on the same planet as everyone else. Even if it is another universe.

This isn't the last US presidential election.
Tough guy on the Internet! Hey everybody! Tough guy on the Internet!
Watch out! Duck!
Facebook is the opiate of the masses.
More like Krokodil.
Windows 7 then?

Could this be adapted to retrieve persons of interest and return to a predetermined location? Any way we can include kill/no kill AI?
Thanks,

"Hello Mr. Terrorist! Would you please step into this unmanned, barely controlled little flying box?"
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"Allah Akbur!"
I suppose this could work....
This is fake news. Or that was. Or will be.
Unless it's an advert - then it's real.
So, they've found James Delmore Shapely. Took them a while longer than Gibson thought, but the good part (I guess) is that the Big Quake is still up there in the future.
OK, you're not dead of freezer burn. Your dead of something else. You're still. Dead.
You have to solve ALL of the little technical issues before this is a viable technology. Not just a couple of them.
Once you've shown this works in a nematode, then we'll talk.
There is a documentary on this. In Nederland Colorado, a Norwegian illegal immigrant started a cryogenic cave. Interesting story.
Yep. Boulder, Colorado. Between the mountains and reality.

Then are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Sure, right after you kill the entire medical AND legal systems.
Or, perhaps, just after Trump's inauguration. But I repeat myself.

You could try making an alias that gets detailed help. Call it man.
Are you kidding? Call it MAN? Do that and you're gonna have a herd of SJWs down your neck in a flash.
Besides, MAN does not ask for help. Where do you get these ideas anyway?
so it will require learning a lot of things...
There's always a catch.....
This is such an old complaint. These days you send your relatives (especially your relatives) to the very friendly Windows telephone support folks who called you the other day.
Win, win. So to speak.
'Rongonosets' apparently means 'cuckold' in Russian.
I was going towards 'hairpiece' myself but then again ....
No, it's really a test to see if anyone would read TFA.
The plane's engines caught on fire.
