how Obama has, yet again, failed to stop a terrorist attack on US soil.
Because Bush was so successful ignoring 8 months of daily warnings of an impending attack which led to the deaths of 3,000 people.
Are you seriously suggesting that the President, any President, personally take over security for the entire country to prevent these types of attacks? That their direct involvement will prevent this from happening?
You're as inane as the moron on my local newspaper site who said he's voting for Trump because Trump will stop these attacks. Trump couldn't even turn a profit for his casinos*, how is he supposed to stop terror attacks?
* Had Mr. Trump's revenues grown at the rate of other Atlantic City casinos, his company could have made its interest payments and possibly registered a profit. But with sagging revenues and high costs, his casinos had too little money for renovations and improvements, which are vital for hotels to attract guests. The public company never logged a profitable year.
Wait a second. Are you saying people using but not paying for a software title is a loss? That doesn't sound right. Every time I state that people who steal software or music are causing a loss to those who produced it I'm told there is no loss.
It's about as close to a victimless crime as you can get
So using a product someone took the time, energy and money to produce and not paying them isn't a crime? I'm presuming your employer doesn't pay you for the work you do for them.
Most things I pirate are things I wouldn't have spent any hard earned cash for.
So it's your hard earned cash but not the guy who's trying to make their own hard earned cash you're stealing from. Nice to know you're the classic example of a hypocrite.
Considering how long it takes to get a response from private industry or get them to do what they're being paid to do I can only assume they're the ones making the cat videos.
Why anyone would let an unknown person send random software to a vehicle I bought and own any time they want without me knowing it is simply begging for this type of situation.
People are upset about Microsoft forcing updates on them, they should be equally upset at car manufacturers or anyone else who does the same thing.
But I'm sure there will be hypocritical excuses for why this is acceptable despite large portions of the/. community who would go on a rampage if this were done to their home machines.
If executives use too much altruism at the expense of profits, the shareholders will reduce their compensation or terminate them.
And they will still walk away with a full severance package including, for companies the size of GE, a multi-million dollar golden parachute including, in the case of HP, paying the person to relocate to a foreign country AND paying off the cost of their million dollar home.
Then, within six to twelve months they'll be picked up by another company who will reward them for their "experience" by giving them a generous salary and stock options, not to mention tons of perks unimaginable to the people who do the actual work.
1) devices that control fuel efficiency can have their firmwares updated by the manufacturer OTA, improving the product without ever taking it to a dealership for service.
2) Anomalies in function can be solved through the same mechanism as 1 above. ________
Because what I want is someone I don't know fooling around with the car I bought and own any time they want without me knowing it.
A) what method they are using is understood and made clear
Considering more and more companies are using non-GAAP accounting measures to deceive investors, it appears they've already determined what method to use while not making it clear what they're doing.
Waaahhhh? I thought Uber drivers could pick up people whenever and wherever they like, on their own schedule. Why the need to make it easier to have a break?
Considering the articles posted here every day about "technical" people doing things such as sending BIOS updates without verifying the source, malware infested plug-ins, the ongoing and seemingly never-ending issues ofIoT security, and the re-emergence of a more powerful Sutxnet virus which continues to target the same types of systems as last time, it appears you shouldn't put technical people in charge of anything technical either.
The vast majority of people feel entitled to something someone else produced. That is what it comes down to.
It doesn't matter that the person or company has taken the time and effort to produce something other people want, everyone else demands it as an inherent right to have it instantly completely ignoring the fact they haven't lifted a finger to produce the product.
Nope, it's all about them and what they want. The fact they're not even going to pay for the product doesn't matter. They'll keep stealing because it's their right to take what they want from someone else. No attribution, no thanks, no payment for the use and enjoyment of the product. Just steal it because it's all about them.
No, I got your point. I was showing the hypocrisy of those who blindly support him.
He says he'll bring jobs back to America yet refuses to manufacturer his own products in this country.
He say's the economy sucks yet he's making money at it by not employing Americans.
He talks about how much his stuff is worth, such as a golf course, yet his accountants value the same property at 1/10 what he says, thus depriving the community of taxes.
I read his book, Art of the Deal, way back when (unlike others just now jumping on the band wagon). In it he openly describes how he deceived and lied to banks to get his loans for the casinos in Atlantic City.
His famed Trump University? Nothing but a money-making scheme to get people to hand over their money. Even the people who used to work for him state it was all a big lie.
But none of this matters to his supporters. Not even the fact he considers failure (i.e bankruptcy) his first option rather than the last will dissuade those who are pissed a black guy is in office, the stock market is at its highest levels ever, all the jobs lost by the last president have been recovered and then some and gas prices are low. All they want to hear are platitudes and bloviating from a white guy who is on his third marriage.
Theranos has never provided any evidence to substantiate their claims. They haven't allowed anyone to replicate their results or see how the process supposedly works.
This has been a long time coming and I am glad this fraud is being exposed.
If their process is so grand why have they been using standard testing procedures at their labs rather than their own?
The fourth amendment says nothing about "third parties." Not one word.
Correct, it does not. That doesn't mean third parties can't be used to provide evidence. This would be no different than police back in the 40s asking people in the area of the robberies if they saw anything suspicious and tracking the criminals that way.
In this case the police asked a third party, who may have had knowledge of the whereabouts of the criminals, if they could help out.
As too many people, such as yourself, keep forgetting, the Constitution is a limitation on the power of the government over the people (well, it was at one time). It is silent on private individuals or organizations and what they may do which is why private organizations may have rules and regulations which a government entity would run afoul of (discrimination for example).
The text of the Fourth Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
In this case the police did nothing to violate the Fourth Amendment since they weren't searching the criminal's person, house, papers or effects. They went to someone else. Nor did they search or seize anything of the criminals. Again, they went to someone else.
As has been repeatedly stated, but you Russian trolls repeatedly ignore because it exposes your lies, the U.S. does not have an army of paid trolls spewing nonsense on social media like Russia does. We know Russia pays people, its citizens, to put out lies because one woman sued the Russian government over the practice.
But as always from Russian trolls there will be an excuse or an attempt at deflecting the truth just like when it is pointed out Russia has lost over 2,000 soldiers during its invasion of Ukraine, that Russian soldiers "on vacation" keep getting captured in Ukraine,
that Russia funds the terrorists in Eastern Ukraine, that the takeover of Crimea has cost Russia untold amounts of money because supporting a peninsula isn't as easy as Putin said it would be, that Russia has stolen businesses from the people in Crimea and given them over to oligarchs aligned with Putin, that the Tartars of Crimea are forbidden from speaking their own language or having their own schools, that Tartar newspapers have been shut down because they don't post what Putin tells them to do.
All this, and much, much more, is the truth but Russian trolls always find an excuse to deny the truth. Because that is what they are paid to do.
The last article raises the question, how many more deaths as the result of marijuana use have gone unreported? We know more and more traffic deaths have marijuana as a cause.
But please, let us here more excuses how none of the above is related to marijuana use. Drug users are good at making excuses, especially when presented with facts.
Having a relative who lives just South of Denver and having visited (I drove back in the last few days), the effects of legalization are shown by the number of people who have nothing better to do with their lives than lie outside a store before it opens just so they can get their fix and the number of "homeless" who refuse to get any of the thousands of jobs available in the Denver metroplex..
Not to mention the soaring number of people who are being admitted to hospitals for reactions to weed (not to mention the people who are killing themselves because of it), and the people who would rather get high than have a very good paying job in the medical or construction industries because they can't pass a drug test.*
The increase in prices, housing and so forth in the Denver area has squat to do with weed and everything to do with there being so much space people can build pretty much what they want. Which has the unfortunate side effect of destroying the view of the Rockies with acre after acre of densely packed, overpriced homes, not to mention the bumper-to-bumper traffic and long commutes to get into Denver proper.
* Do you really want the nurse attending to you being high while figuring out how much medication to give you or the guy trying to build the next 30-story building?

And this was domestic terrorism.
The terrorist was an American citizen. Therefore, domestic terrorism.
Or are we going to say this was an act of Christian terrorism that was fortunately thwarted?

something that would represent a serious loss?
Wait a second. Are you saying people using but not paying for a software title is a loss? That doesn't sound right. Every time I state that people who steal software or music are causing a loss to those who produced it I'm told there is no loss.
Please make up your minds!

People stealing games not getting what they thought and possibly getting a compromised system.
Oh the humanity! Won't someone think of the thieves!
I pointed out this very flaw in a comment not too long ago:

That sounds completely logical.
Obama targets ordinary citizens with the government.
Bush considered everyone a criminal and used the government against them, but I didn't see you whining when he did it.
A) what method they are using is understood and made clear
Considering more and more companies are using non-GAAP accounting measures to deceive investors, it appears they've already determined what method to use while not making it clear what they're doing.
what make it 'uniquenly not a taxi' become even more strained and ridiculous then they already were.
Particularly when they just changed their app to allow their employees to more easily take breaks and fill up their gas tanks.
Waaahhhh? I thought Uber drivers could pick up people whenever and wherever they like, on their own schedule. Why the need to make it easier to have a break?
Yeah, Uber isn't a taxi company. In name only.
There's always an excuse, isn't there?
Considering the high salaries we hear these companies paying their technical people, your comment falls flat.
Considering the articles posted here every day about "technical" people doing things such as sending BIOS updates without verifying the source, malware infested plug-ins, the ongoing and seemingly never-ending issues ofIoT security, and the re-emergence of a more powerful Sutxnet virus which continues to target the same types of systems as last time, it appears you shouldn't put technical people in charge of anything technical either.

Which is why Trump has his name brand shirts made in Mexico and his other products are made in China.
Why have a car that only goes at most 200 miles or so before you have to park it for a couple of hours to do it again...
According to the guy at the Tesla store in Colorado, their current model goes 310 miles before needing recharged.
