Al-Qaeda and ISIS are manufactured FUD, why does media like/. want to further that crap? A Primer: http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu...
A snippet:
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present
People see so many they aren't affected emotionally any more.
Roman Colosseum anyone?
I think the sheer amount of movie violence made me desensitised enough to foolishly watch a beheading video, which I walked away from wondering what gets into peoples heads, besides the obvious bullshit of religion. The Scott video was just another day in the life of a significant portion of our population, that in its self is tragic.
Well because they get to decide what gets in and what gets left out, and I don't see how building your own Firefox is "bending over backwards". I see a few choices, build your own, use a different one, or cry until they change it for you. Looks like you're going the last route.

The project was motivated in part by concerns about the possibility of “another Arab Spring,” which was sparked in Tunisia in December 2010 and later spread to countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Western governments and intelligence agencies were largely blindsided by those events, and the document detailing IRRITANT HORN suggests the spies wanted to be prepared to launch surveillance operations in the event of more unrest.
It appears in some ways that these agencies have become dependent on their digital surveillance, to the point they are missing exactly what they claim to be looking for. I guess if you want to plan a revolution just use paper...
But what might come as a surprise is that if you went up to the peak of the highest mountains, not only would the acceleration due to gravity be its lowest, but there'd also be less mass beneath your feet than at any other location.
Mass is the same regardless, weight changes, so how is the mass less on top of a mountain?
So what did I miss here?
An object on the Moon would weigh less than it would on Earth because of the lower gravity, but it would still have the same mass.
Turns out, the same bulk registrant in China that registered the phony Premera and Anthem domains in April 2014 also registered two Carefirst look-alike domains — careflrst[dot]com (the “i” replaced with an “L”) and caref1rst[dot]com (the “i” replaced with the number “1”).
Additionally, ThreatConnect has unearthed evidence showing the same tactics were used on EmpireB1ue.com (note the “L” replaced with a number “1”), a domain registered April 11, 2014 (the same day as the phony Carefirst domains). EmpireBlue BlueCross BlueShield was one of the organizations impacted by the Anthem breach.
Came away from that with fond memories of Defender, and that it's always more interesting to see what people do with the tech (the computer in a briefcase and other "redesigns") than what's released by a corporation.

and is gravely to be regarded.
Can they give it a brown shirt and teach it to goose step?

Feds + Hacker/Cracker = Fracker.
Remember when there was a difference between hacker and cracker?
I don't especially want to give up a swiping keyboard, a decent camera, or podcast playback
Then you're stuck, or get a tablet.
Well now we have another use for that NSA storage facility =)
>using propane
Am I the one smoking it?
>not supercritical CO2
Too expensive

Really? How you going to clean it?

Hydrophilic.

*cough*
So I shouldn't post my shatter recipe that uses propane?
Yes, and soon a cashless society is thrust upon you, and then you can never be without your phone.
How many Linux/Unix repositories have been hacked? What exactly drops in when you update?

Because the mass beneath your feet would be lower.
Really? Why?
It's interesting how individuals care about their nations image, over anything else...
Ugh... I knew that but for some reason it didn't click in my head.

It's sad I have been offered this
two years of free credit monitoring and identity threat protection as compensation
6 times now, and from 6 different corps.
And this..
'sophisticated cyberattack'
is bullshit..

Well you can't stop people from getting these tools, you may be able to keep people from selling them.
Actually it's because of AC's, though I like to leave my settings so that I can see AC's, sometimes they are the most insightful.
Not you though.
Yeah, the watch does suck, but we all knew that it was going to didn't we? Doesn't seem like anything Jobs would have let out.

The truly open smartphone
that cares about your privacy
Pretty sure inanimate objects don't have "cares", but is it odd I like the fact it has real buttons?
Maybe, Normally I would agree with that, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out otherwise.
In any case I would imagine most use the app.
