What bugs the shit out of me is how when one adds a new app, Facebook says (paraphrasing):
"Allow application to see my profile and know about me..."
I sigh and get within a few microns of blowing a gasket. Why the HELL does Facebook not tell us WHAT it IS those programs will see?
Is facebook allowing those simple, sometimes lame, apps to know EVERYthing about us? What guarantees (none, right?) do we have that information seen by these apps won't be rerouted to entities we normally would say "no" to?
I wish Facebook would more granularly EXPLAIN what these apps developers DO see, and allow us to hide even our names and most basic info. Big deal a horoscope or biorhythm app claims to need letters of our name to get the right decan and other details right...
I want to know that I am ACTIVELY in control of WHAT they see, not see just some blanket explanation with 5 or 6 options that if incorrectly selected either break the app or enable it.
FACEBOOK, it's time for you to:
-- freeze all the 3rd party apps, -- force their developers to abide by a new privacy/anonymity contract -- provide to the users more granular denial filters -- provide the users with a new tool to selectively inform and deny previously used apps' developers they no longer have permission or rights to reuse or redistribute profile information at the wish or demand of users
Hmmm, but somehow, I suspect that would kill Facebook's market cap by 55% and (for those who so hope) gut msoft's investment in Facebook and make msoft and analysts look like fools.
Well, maybe their "STOCKholders" ought to be forced into being "SHOCKholders".... (thru an ISP anew...
would be nice if Google acted as an ISP and GAVE away the service for ads... Run comblasts ass right out of business.... Every comcast Customer gets a FREE Google service for 3 years; then $15/month after that...")
"It is important to note, however, that we never prevent P2P activity, or block access to any P2P applications, but rather manage the network in such a way that this activity does not degrade the broadband experience for other users."
The weasely bastards....
Notice the:
"but rather manage the network in such a way that this activity does not degrade the broadband experience for other users."
IOW, they are degrading YOUR (P2P) experience, but not the other, obedient (l)users.
business. I've been weaning myself OFF of the at-home "Internets" "experience". Not missing it much either, except when I need to upgrade PCLinux or Mandriva from DVD and then can't resolve dependencies because the DVD's don't have some (for example, VirtualBox dependencies.... frm one of the magazines...) Well, now I've come to live without Internets at home for months now and it's nice to kick 50% of that addiction...
But, tho this is unrelated to torrents (which I don't use), it might make comblast wake up and be nicer. Offer a rate plan, ask torrent users to wait till off-peak hours, something... anything reasonable...
Given the typical 'merkun diet, I'd venture to say that breathing in such urine/urea in quantitiy needed to offset the chemical agent could be more harmful to one's health than the chemical agent.
How about a pharm with atropine, steroids AND phosgene??? Hell, you could save yourself from growing hair excessively, from pharting 12ppm, but get to drown...
(Anyone still using phosgene in refrigeration plants? We did aboard ship in '85...)
Yep, I remember that I too had to go thru the two-arms injection/cattle door, too. Simultaneous injections in each arm, almost like a hypo spray in Star Trek, IIRC...
Most of us got sick for a few days, up to a week or more for some. Cold-like symptoms, tho some felt like it was the flu. We were told it was to keep us all from becoming sick from one another as with 70-90 ppl in a given barracks all sorts of bugs/illnesses converge to further weaken those weak or sick upon arrival to boot camp.
Thing is, we never knew what REALLY was in those injections. But, I still have my hair, my balls and nothing seems mutated. Any lapses in memory might be from my own nutritional habits, or from messing around with paint chips on the walls as a kid. But, there COULD be some latent effects from my exposure to JP-5 we used for cleaning the UNREP span wires various equipment aboard ship. Imagine what Jet Engine technicians were/are exposed to. All those compounds into the skin, inhaled, absorbed into they eyes/mucous membranes...
But, how much do we know of whether China, Japan, Russia, and even the USA (at Aberdeen Proving Grounds/Georgia/name some not-really-heard-much-about-place in USA) DID test on live persons, maybe prisoners granted early release for participation?
If the FDA IS approving of them then viable results must have happened. As to whether "early release" is true, it could mean early release from "corporeal day-to-day existence". Can't have parolees blabbing that they got out early for accepting horrid injections with antidotes working just fine in minutes. That could reinvigorate then-USSR efforts to make even more irreversible chemical agents.
In the 80's when *I* was in the USN I encountered numerous women who resisted the advances of males, and I neither knew nor had need to know their reasons. I was a radioman student, and across our male barracks was the female barracks. Several times when I went to go meet a girl for a date or lunch or whatever, not only did the podium/bldg messenger of the watch go to notify her (or the female for which ANY guy was meeting), some other girl would get up and seem to be doing what others said: they're going to tell other lesbians some OTHER guy is looking for so and so.
I had no problem with that. I later encountered but did not get romantically/physically involved with a bona fide (no pun intended) lesbian who was a radioman student and on the verge of graduation. NIS (Naval Investigative Service), the fine group they are, fucked her over because she REFUSED to spill the beans on WHAT clubs/hangouts she frequented where there were known or suspected lesbians in their witch hunt. Rather than let her graduate and go on to the Fleet to prove herself as either patriotic, duty-bound or honorably-working, they dicked her over by putting her on Administrative Legal Hold. This was NOT to carry on an investigation. It was a means by which to punish her for not making THEIR lives easier. All this shit was because some defector from the USSR had a list of some 50 attributes the KGB would aim to exploit, and because homosexuality/bisexuality were among the items, the US decided it had to McCarthy-out that aspect.
Now, this girl was nice, friendly, and I sympathized with her. I even went to the point of renting a car several times at the agency located on the base and drove her some 100+ miles to visit her girlfriend and foster daughter. She was white, her girlfriend/foster-daughter black, and eventually the made me the baby girl's god father. But, she only had Saturdays & Sundays off since the NIS refused to separate her from the navy, refused to let COMNAVMILPERSCOM give her orders to the Fleet, and refused to grant her more than weekend liberty.
What is even WORSE is that they didn't restrict her to base because (or JUST because) of her sexual orientation or refusal to rat out people on a witch hunt list, they dug into her past and fucked her over with a THIRD item:
They charged her with falsification of government documents related to enlistment. How? They found out that she did not inform the USN that she'd had psychological counseling, an item the omission of which could be damaging. But, how could they do this this way? She was in a car wreck around 2-4 years of age, her parents were killed in that crash, and she went to counseling as a 3 or 4 year old or maybe just after that. So, to hose her over, the USN NIS said she defrauded the government for not reporting something that is so obvious as to not even be an ITEM OF CONTENTION. But, I learned to hang out with gays and lesbians, in SF or Oakland, just eating, talking dancing, and even dated a lesbian I didn't know WAS so, and later learned I was a decoy to throw off NIS. When I learned that, I just kept dating her, and when we broke up, we re-dated a few times. Hell even her commanding officer told NIS to "get the fuck out of my office. I can't DO my JOB for the NAVY if you take her away. She's the BEST Radioman I've got. Leave me and her ALONE." She kept her job, and when she discharged, she worked for them as a civilian. SOME people in "the Nav" knew what was important, despite politicking and conflicts of interest.
This kind of shit was what began to unravel my hard-core A-Jay-Squared-Away/Gung-Ho attitude. Oh, I still wore my shiny, clean Corfams, my Polyester dress whites, and passed my inspections, kicked ass on training and Fleet-wide exams, got promotions, and discharged honorably, but as I looked around and realized the few in- and not-so-in-the-closet gays/lesbians worked as if not more diligently than MOST of the straight people, it was mind boggling that the government and US public would let this continue (yes, I know about
Yeh, it CAN happen. They'll fire the amount their matrix tells them to. They'll outsource the rest to TATA, in India, and Komso-something in Russia/Ukraine/Czech Republic.
Face it, this is the new face of the ISS and Space Revolution. It's not just SPECIAL, it's SPATIAL.
"Here are a few additional highlights from this database that give us additional understanding about motivations and situational factors leading to espionage:
* Over 42% of the offenders are known to have been involved in drug or alcohol abuse. The actual figure may be higher, as there are many cases in which the unclassified record is insufficient to make a judgment on this subject. Those who were caught before classified information was even passed were more likely to be substance abusers than those who succeeded in committing espionage.
* Of the 148 offenders, 6 were homosexual, 106 heterosexual, and the sexual orientation of the remaining 36 is not known from the unclassified record. Homosexuality is not known to have been a significant factor in any of the cases.
* Volunteer spies were more likely to fail in their effort to pass information to foreign interests. Almost 40% of the volunteers were caught in the act, whereas only 7% of the recruited spies were intercepted before they could damage national security."
Repeat for emphasis:
* Of the 148 offenders, 6 were homosexual...
I saw a flyer, around 1991, stating that of ALL the known cases of espionage, treason, and similar, some 98%-99% of the persons caught/convicted/shut down were:
-white -make -heterosexual -Christian
This seems to turn on its head the "susceptibility of homosexual" prospects/targets.... But, don't have to believe me, just look at the section "By the Numbers" and look at drug abuser risk, etc.
It seems to me the DIA/NSA/DIS/NIS/et al can do all the searching they want WITHOUT dicking around in the private lives of scientists or military personnel. Just keep burning those who screw up, and let the others "be on the best behavior".
But, somehow I think the government is just pursuing this as another component of wrecking the public tenuous thread to rights and expectations of privacy and anonymity.
We learned to be creative or analytical about the US English sentence structure so we would not talk getto or slang or similar obstacle-enhancing dialects (this was the mid 70's for me...)
Alternates accepted were:
-- For boys, we have bicycles with adjustable seats. (Normally beginning a sentence with a preposition was shunned, and for almost ANY reason, but given the rules, I made sure to be creative, even if creating stilted but still information-correct sentences.)
-- We have bicycles with adjustable seats for boys.
IIRC, she used that sentence example from an grammar book.
That would be so unprofessional, not to mention risky. Feelings would be hurt. It's one thing to selectively lunch or dine or smoke with or chat with a core group of co-workers. It's obvious, and natural.
However, ranking the entire company or division or building/site would risk incurring strange or dangerous reactions. Imagine the spurned one-time fling or would-be lover spurned by company policy or by a new, hot competing love interest in our outside the company.
I think LISTING friends for all to see is risky in and of itself. That's why it's good that Facebook allows/permits/enables disclosure by levels. But, unless an electronic tool or bored person or group daily or hourly looks people up, they may not know ALL friends, nor be able to strike up a "friendship add" to deepen the queries. But, ranking employees on paper and hanging the hierarchy for all passers to peruses could alienate or distract co-workers.
It could worsen if B2B rankings happen. Imagine a competitor's partner who might by necessity be your company's partner getting hold of the company or B2B listing just by taking it and not being caught.
These microjets ahead of the missile make me think of not just the adjustable inlet ramps/scoops on the faster aircraft, but of the Inui Bow, and Taylor/et al bulbous, for naval (combatant AND supply ) and commercial tanker/container ships:
It's amazing that in all this time that nautical analogies existed, we (those outside of the research/not tracking it) just now see that it seems even EXPERTS are just now fielding this tech.
Wow, Google is better than I thought. Now, the (my) body will be in two places at once.
(I had to borrow a modified phrase from Captain Crain of the Seaview, when the enemy agent in Sickbay hosed their INS (inertial navigation system), in the episode "Hail to the Chief"; her brain-cooking MK-G machine at full power threw off Seaview's compass in the Control Room (proximity of the MK-G), but not in Maneuvering Control... Crain got reports on the two directions, and, frustrated as hell, he proclaimed to Adm. Nelson, "This submarine is better than I THOUGHT! We can travel in two directions at the same time! Funny as hell. I'm starting to RELIKE VTTBOTS, despite the wooden sets, guide wires towing the sub, and repeated cannibalized stock footage.... Ahh, nostalgia...)
Now, how to get some NSA access for Google?
If you think you're being tracked, give or drop your cell phone on someone. Your clothes (especially the shoes and any metallic keys -- even the chip in your ass or pelvis if one's there), too if you think somethings affixed to you. Do it in an elevator (with no camera). Now, they'll have agents running all over the building they KNOW you entered. (Your mission: figure out how to get out or get into ANOTHER building where you can put on some clothes and dye or cut your hair, etc...)
