"Silk Road was used to sell ~$1.2 billion in illicit goods since being founded in 2011"
Illicit? They mean untaxed =) It's a shame really silk was kinda nice even if I didn't do any business there fun to read through it... my fav beiong the "fixer" for "any job" up to $50,000. Hmm what kind of job cost 50k? =)
So like I said... fun to be a tourist there but I wouldn't (didn't) ever do business there, so I was never sure how legit any of the items really were, apparently they were 3.6 million legit.
The 2 brands represent an amusing kinship in the "empty calorie" sense, and yes I consider Apple the "empty calories" of the computing World. Shiny GUI's, hyperactive icons, NSA level security and a marketing department that spins that 5 year old "innovation" harder than an ageing belly dancers tassels. You've given Apple your facial data, your geographic position, your deepest social connections, your marketing preferences (as well as a grocery list of preferences you would rather no one knew), so why not show your bovinian approval and give up the fingerprints too?
3D printing, while conceptually cool, has a long way to go before it's commonly used in a Tesco. The people propping this story up were probably early purveyors for the flying car concept, and can you just imagine the same idiots you see on the road everyday flying?
I'm still waiting for the first story on "3D printing lung" from breathing PLA dust.
Well kudos to Brown for being forward thinking at his age, but the truth is it doesn't matter, since the NSA siphons *EVERYTHING* the record exist somewhere, maybe not for your boss at McDonald's (or maybe) but it's there for anything paying a decent salary.
In addition all of the information collected goes to Israel unfiltered, can you imagine? How could that go wrong? Sharing everything with the most paranoid group of people on the planet, can you imagine the insider trading knowledge that could come out of that data?
The World is splitting into 2 distinct kinds of people, connected and unconnected.
There's more than one kind of fake review. One is just straight up lying, they got paid to post but never actually used the service/product. The other is the way Apple does it, where just before the release of a new product "independent" tech blogs, and various other bottom feeding scum bubble up to praise their fruity overlords and go full gush on something they have never used (generate false excitement).
Then there are the reviews that while true, they don't allow or they remove bad reviews.
You're better off finding a forum involved in the product and getting information that way, also if you get involved with a bad product/service look into taking a few minutes to complain to the BBB or whatever is appropriate, other wise nothing changes.
All cars both old and new should be retrofitted with RFID tags that broadcast far enough to allow constant monitoring, you speed you get a chime warning you, if you don't slow, a moment later you get a electronic ticket attached to your RFID number, you park incorrectly, you get a chime, moments later you are electronically ticketed and a tow truck is called.
Face reality, the majority of people out there aren't even as smart as my dog and I don't let my dog drive. The only way these ignorant masses learn is when it hurts, you can not reason with them, you can't legislate stupid away, you can not expect or hope "They will make the right decision" they are dumb animals pushing tons of metal with their irrational egos, you have to hurt them by taking their money, yeah I said that, and who ever thought flying cars were a good idea was a sociopathic moron.
The reason I'm behind this is simple, a car is a form of transportation, it isn't your living room, the road does not belong to you simply because your car is sitting on it, and that is the attitude I see in so many drivers. The ideal World would not allow the average citizen to manipulate a +ton vehicle with only minimal licensing and testing, the ideal World would realize the absurdity of this idea.
Well 9 years old seems like a good time to me to learn how some people can behave and too see why you shouldn't act like that. Isn't it enough that the men look foolish and juvenile?
Did the sexism complaint really have to happen?
People complaining seem to forget that this video and the men's behaviour are going to be on record forever, could you imagine one of them applying for a job in 20 years and the interviewer plays the video.
"We don't think so show the kind of judgement we want at CORPO corporation."
So I have come to an understanding that "free market capitalization" is the leech on those that do the real work.
In others words after we land on Mars then the "free market capitalization" and exploitation will begin, but it always has to feed off of someone else's work... like Hollywood or the music industry and so it's never there first and it's never the creator.
"low natural gas prices" the price of natural gas just sky rocketed, but we will make it cheaper for a while if you let us frack your water, because... in the end that's all that happens, all your drinking water gets fracked.
I guess that's why Bush bought all that land over one of the World's largest fresh water aquifers.
Everything should be made public, this does 2 things it forces the "State" to act and repair or protect items, the second is it stems corruption so efficiently the cities wouldn't know what to do with all the extra money.
Anyone stating they need to keep secrets is the enemy.
Isn't what he did illegal? If so he would be prosecuted correct? At that point we get to see if the evidence is enough to prosecute the shoe on the other foot.
If it isn't enough evidence, well that sort of seals the deal on the other cases being dismissed.
The outright sociopathy i see in games used to be funny, conjuring up the image of some chubby raging on his/her keyboard. Now a days it's a little scary, seriously the churning sickness I see on the Net, especially in violent games gets laughed off as "it's kids in a game" but based on some of the comments I've seen it looks more like budding psychopaths working out their final words to their victims.
It's a psych's wet dream for deviant and disturbed behaviour.

Regulation is a poor substitute for common sense.

If you can't see where this is heading...
"Does "powerful members of society" refer to the public or private sector?"
What's the difference?
Well kudos to Brown for being forward thinking at his age, but the truth is it doesn't matter, since the NSA siphons *EVERYTHING* the record exist somewhere, maybe not for your boss at McDonald's (or maybe) but it's there for anything paying a decent salary.
Have doubts? I refer you to this: http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/09/26/013254/nsa-director-wants-threat-data-sharing-with-private-sector

"We don't think so show the kind of judgement we want at CORPO corporation."
Benedict is full of shit, because if it was the case the schools wouldn't be in bad shape to start with.
"America may be the land of the free"
Define free, and the things happening at the border to US citizens are illegal, period.
"The World needs ditch diggers too"
What is wrong with "you conducted the actions of the company, you were the company."
You have no idea how many corporation CEO's and boot licks I would love to apply that to.

Enough fresh water for 200 years, that's the real Bush legacy.

To bad our electrical grid isn't.
Why is it asymmetric? Gravity?

It's no longer tenable to live the way Americans do.
