There's no wiretapping if you installed the device yourself and left it to automagically answer the phone, which is what this is about. By doing so, you are giving "authorization" to anyone and everyone to use the device.
It's like leaving a computer connected to the net with root login enabled and the enter key as the password. Whether it was a conscious decision or your own incompetence, nobody is really exceeding authorization by logging in as root.
It's called not even reading the quickstart card and taking 5 seconds to think.
>FTP plus some of other thing you have failed to mention all along.
Yeah, that would be like 10 lines of bash script, or on a Windows machine, powershell script. If that.
But then that's beyond your capabilities, because computers are inscrutable black boxes to you.
Neal Stephenson mocking refers to computer illiterates as "slines" in his opus "Anthem". There is a separation between the "mathic" world (people who are interested in using technology and knowledge to do interesting things and advance the world) and the "slines" aka "baselines" aka the lowest common denominator of technology consumer that just wants to point at what they want like animals and chat over Facebook.
>ALL files on my dropbox account are present on ALL computers synchronized on that dropbox.
No, no they are not.
Syncing does not happen by magic. You must be connected to the internet to sync. If someone puts something in your dropbox and you are not connected to the internet, you're not getting that file.
You can sync via FTP or via Dropbox.
The question is if you roll your own or not. Dropbox is a packaged solution. That's the only difference.
But then you have no clue as to how things really work.

I would like someone to define "Canadian culture" for me, because I can't seem to find a single one that you can call "Canadian."
Is it English Canada or French Canada, or is it Polish, Scottish, Chinese, or Malaysian?

>There's another angle to "convenience piracy" on music which is that the albums always leaks days or even weeks before you can legit buy them.
Good luck living in the US and trying to buy foreign media. Most of the time it's simply not available at all, even when you subscribe to things like the Shanachie newsletter and catalog.
That website the grandparent posted was Righthaven's until it was auctioned off to pay the debt it owed. It sold for something like $3000. Up until the SOPA protest day, it had a logo, and on SOPA protest day, what you saw was the owner's protest.

Any time you have to violate the laws of physics to get your technology to work in the real world without stepping on everyone's toes, your technology is bad. Period.
The same thing with BPL.. We don't have it because it would wreak havoc over HF and other bands. The BPL advocates cried unfairness too, but them's the breaks.
Either move to another band far enough away from GPS or go pound sand.
Making fuel out of food is always stupid. It didn't make any sense 20 years ago and it still doesn't today.
End the biofuel subsidies for everything except cellulosic ethanol. Maybe someday we can feed waste chips into a digester and get auto fuel out. But making fuel out of food is a sin.
rebuttal, sort of, with an attempt at logic, but failing to present any fact about common household dust radioactivity, either as a control or as contaminated
I would say in return that concrete can be far more deadly outside the body than in, particularly if it is large and moving.
