In that hack, the Chinese got information about thousands of people (and their relatives and friends) who were applying for security clearances. All that was done was the government said "sorry" and offered some free credit monitoring for a few years. These people willingly handed over their information to the government.
What is going to happen when the government collects all of this information on your average everyday Joe and Jane, and that gets hacked? These people absolutely did not willingly hand over their information to the government. What will the masses say when their information is then stored in databases spread throughout the world, being held by friendly and unfriendly countries alike?
What will the government say to us when this happens?
If you want to die a short life in agony, you go to the extreme at either end.
I worked with this girl who was, in my opinion, running herself to death. She has bad knees and feet anyway, and she was constantly training for marathons and 5Ks. She would come into work in pain so many times that I lost count. She is young, mid 30s, looks great, and is in great cardio-pulmonary shape, but her frame is breaking down. I asked her if it was worth being this "healthy" now and being a trainwreck when she is in her 60s. She said it was worth it.
I'll just try to, like you said, stick to a balanced life with diet and exercise. I may not look as good as she does now, but I'll catch up when I'm older.
My wife and I had the AT&T Family Share Plan with 2GB/month of data. Here lately, we came very close to to 2GB cap, and ran over a couple of times. So, after the AT&T Mobile Share Advantage plans came out, we switched to a 3GB/month plan and are saving $15.00/month on our bill. Say what you want, but this was a good, money-saving, deal for us.
Where are all of these pictures of the "great Pacific garbage patch"? All I've ever seen is close-ups of piles of garbage on a boat, or whatnot. I've never seen any wide-angle shots of the patch itself.
Problem is that the way many companies price things, you don't save that much by cutting the TV. I have TWC and it's only like $20 cheaper/month if I cut TV and keep high speed internet.
I use COX in Northern Virginia. My monthly bill is $190.00. If I take cable TV off and keep only high-speed internet, then that drops it down to $80.00. That's a nice monthly savings.
Think of it like a bullwhip. The hand (i.e., the front) is moving relatively slow compared to the end (i.e., the back) of the whip; and, the end is where we get the little sonic boom.
Wow... this is amazing! I had no idea this was even possible with JavaScript. All I can do with JavaScript is manipulate the DOM and other standard browser functions. This guy is the boss.
Yes, there are many scientists out there who support the climate change theory; however, there are a few scientists who are out there who deny this theory. I'm not talking wacko, basement-dwelling, shade-tree scientists, I'm talking PhDs, people who have gone through the schooling. There are orders of magnitude more of us who have no schooling in the climate sciences whatsoever. So, how can we, as laypeople, possibly know which accredited scientists are correct and which ones are not? The only way to really know is to go through all of the schooling and do the research ourselves. Even then, this is not 100% certain. I know this sounds like tinfoil-hat wearing, conspiracy theorist fear-mongering, but it is the truth.
With more and more smartphone manufacturers removing the SD card slot and making their batteries non-removable in the attempt to mimic Apple's iPhone, we are going to be at their mercy for storage space.

1.3 million == (130,000 * 10)
Thousands are a subset of millions. As I didn't know the exact figure, I figured I was safe saying thousands

mentioned there is a unique smell associated with strep throat
It must be horrible making your living by smelling the rotting bodies of your customers.

100% freedom would mean allowing arson, rape, murder and a thousand other behaviors that we currently ban.
Who said anything about wanting any of that stuff? Freedom of speech, however, should be unlimited and without exception.
For my next install, I think I may move over to (one of the variants of) BSD Unix.

It gives me shivers to think that movie and sports stars are going to be the only ones left.
I had such high hopes for her and Yahoo!
Good question. The DoJ uses Android, but the DoD uses iOS.
Because I like their review system. I've avoided a lot of "lemon" products by reading reviews first.
Will Mars have high-speed internet???

More likely an bug in the code that the NSA has inserted into all of their routers.
I thought I read somewhere that a person's personal "property" extends 500 feet into the air.

"Even though it is against both federal and state law, age discrimination persists in the entertainment industry."
... age discrimination persists everywhere. If you don't believe it, check the computer-related fields.
Ummm

They don't want the little children to grow up and trigger somebody.

Didn't we already know this? The moon can cause tides, earthquakes, and other Earth-bound changes.
I recommend this book to almost everybody.
