Nice job equating Christianity with goodness. But you missed a third option: the guy who keeps his activities secret, and doesn't actually do anything. Guess which one I think Jobs is most likely to be - this is the guy who runs a company that purports to be so egalitarian there are no named parking spaces, and then illegally parks in the disabled bays himself.
Merely having bluetooth-capable hardware and software should not expose you to anything. Computers should be secure by default, out-the-box, and it is not unreasonable to expect this.
Of course Israel's a major US ally, look at what they're getting from the US. As for mistreatment, sure, all regimes in the region are terrible, but that does nothing to excuse Israel.
So yes, I'm more worried about Israel, because they have nuclear weapons already, and seem more likely to end up in a situation where they have nothing to lose by using them.
Good for you. But there are people who do like having these autographs (I'm guessing it's the same thing people supposedly get out of photographs, an aid to memory, and a physical connection to that thing that happened), they seem to enjoy possessing them, and since supply is limited simple economics comes into play.
Hmm, fair enough then; but I'm coming at this from the perspective of an anime fan rather than a porn hound, and from context in the article (misaka) that's clearly how the person who chose the name is using it as well.
âoeUpskirtâ is shorthand for porn (images or video) that features a nonconsensual look up a girlâ(TM)s skirt or dress.
I've never seen nonconsent feature in any such definition. It's not the natural reading of the word, and if you look at the way the term is used (e.g. check the tags on any anime imageboard), it generally applies to any picture looking up a skirt, consensual or not. I think the article is misrepresenting the meaning of the word to lend support to its arguments.
...is nonsense. What they need to do is put cops on the *street*, walking the neighborhoods; instead of driving cars around, playing with traffic
Nope. Cops on the streets make grannies feel better, but they deal with one of those major crimes you mention every eight years or so. Unless you want to have police absolutely everywhere policing has to be reactive rather than proactive, and police in cars can respond to a call a lot more effectively than those on foot.
Yes, that's the whole point of google+. You might have a family circle, a work circle, and a "close friends" circle, and different people could be in one, two or all of them.
Tax revenue raises itself, when the economy grows, and is more likely to do if the economy isn't being bled by government and kept from growing.
All the money that comes into the government goes out again, usually into economic circulation. So while it's in the interests of the economy to cut taxes on economic activity, it's also worth taxing money that would otherwise be taken out of circulation. And yet it's tax cuts on the income of the rich (which contributes far less to economic activity than that of the poor) which the republicans are most strongly advocating.
Google search does not dictate the terms by which people use it to search the web.
Huh? Yes it does.
Google search does not have a lack of viable competitors.
Really? Name one viable competitor then. Yahoo uses Google for a backend, bing is not viable in itself (it only exists as part of MS's anti-google strategy), and there's no-one else I can think of with any kind of marketshare in the west.
It really helps future-proof your purchases when the technology you buy into is built to last instead of just a slight bump on the old technology, like USB 3.0.
Only the one of my four computers has a firewire port, whereas all of them have USB. So I think USB is the more future-proof option.
It wasn't too shabby for hooking up external hard drives until USB3 came along.
Yes it was. If you're taking an external hard drive it's usually so you can connect it to someone else's computer. With USB that'll work for any machine from the past fifteen years, whereas with firewire you really couldn't count on it. And it's not like external hard drives are fast enough to hit the 60mb/s USB2 limit anyways. I had a dual-connector drive, and after the first couple of months I threw out the firewire cable.
People who are criticizing the move to Thunderbolt have a lot of that "3GB/s is enough for anyone" vibe about them, and in addition ignore the benefits of the truly direct connection into the computer this standard gives you...
Five years ago when I was saying firewire wasn't worth it I heard much the same. Again, it was faster than the then-latest USB and gave a more direct connection into the computer. What's different this time around?
Sure. But my x86 is more useful than an ARM and gets perfectly decent battery life. With both battery technology and low-power x86es improving all the time, a handheld x86 can't be far off.
My netbook uses an AMD Geode. It's great - runs a "normal" windows XP and plays ten-year-old games perfectly. It's a 7", so not quite handheld yet, but not a million miles away from something like the original gameboy.

You'll notice that none of the jews killed in the holocaust committed crimes afterwards either.

Ah yes, Israel has an excellent record of being anti-nuclear proliferation.
Excellent example! And then they humiliate the woman by publishing the photos without her consent.
Humiliating? Sure. Evil? Perhaps. Comparable to rape? Certainly not.

As a cousin post pointed out, the AMD Geode used in some netbooks (including mine) is only i586.
Both Broadcast TV and Cable TV was much higher quality. Though we had fewer channels, there was far more worth watching. No, this isn't just nostalga.
Bollocks. Try watching some programmes from then rather than relying on memory; you'll quickly find nostalgia is exactly what it is.
That same area today has no police presence... they're reactive, just as you say... and it isn't even remotely as safe as it was when I grew up.
Most people believe that, but it's memory playing tricks. Look at the actual statistics.

So if I started a fresh root with a more sane mining rate policy, would/should I call it bitcoin?
Yes, that's the whole point of google+. You might have a family circle, a work circle, and a "close friends" circle, and different people could be in one, two or all of them.
Do you have any evidence that non-Murdoch tabloids were doing this?
It was Herman Hesse, and he lived to see it come true.

But it sounds like google's strategy was pretty easy to guess after the first few. Actual random numbers would fit the goals a lot better.
