Just stop reading fan mail. Don't post your email account online. Don't have a blog with comments that people can post to. Don't go to sites dedicated to your game. You will not see all the hate if you don't go out of your way to read it!
I enjoy watching my kid be non-brain rotted due to the force fed commercials they stare blankly into. After using a MythTV box for a few years I got so sick of commercials that we cut the cord after the box died and I took too long to rebuild it. We could no stand watching "live" tv so we just watched what was available on Netflix. If there is something that we are desperate to see on the day it comes out I will go to TVtorrents and get it, otherwise I am fine watching what is there on Netflix or playing some computer games.
Yeah, I would say he got screwed over. Where I currently work we have had just a couple people get laid off. They let them go the same day, but pay them for two extra weeks anyway. So not too bad for being cut loose.
I don't see why the investors deserve anything. It was quite obvious to me the moment they first mentioned their new tablet that it would fail. I would look at the success rate of their other phones and tablets (and plays for sure) and see how quickly they were abandoned. Anyone who believed that it was going to be a success was simply deluding themselves.Caveat Emptor is what I say.
The only thing even better than a website is if he created the "Ow, my balls" show for us. If we can watch that all day long then nobody will be worth spying on because we won't want to do anything wrong.
Sorry about that. I read your sentence wrong, thought I saw you saying there are NOT not-fictional species. I guess I should look more carefully before posting my replies.
Seriously, bearing in mind that there are non-fictional species on Earth that can effectively change their reproductive systems within their own lifetimes
You may want to look into what some animals on Earth are capable of. There are in fact some fish that can change their sex. I believe that frogs might be able to do that also. And in hyenas the lead female will grow large labia and appear to be a male when the group lacks a true male. Here is one link to get you started.
What about an attacker that has access to the vault, but cannot walk out with the money because the person they are with will notice. But if they get one second to take a picture of the money, they can use that picture later to teleport the money out without anyone knowing. Having the plastic bin will stop a camera from getting a picture then, huh!?
It's similar to my objection to the old "don't write down your passwords" thing: the risk of a remote attack against easy-to-remember passwords is much higher than the risk of an attacker physically getting into the locked drawer of my desk in the locked area of the secured and patrolled building my office is in, and if the attacker has gotten into the locked drawer in my desk I've got much bigger security worries and the attacker has much juicier targets he can go after.
That's just the point. It this example the list is in an unlocked drawer of an unlocked desk in an unlocked area with security guards that gave you a guest pass to get in with someone else. The drawer should be locked to make the guest take a few minutes to try to pick it and you may catch him in the act rather than he takes a photo real quick while you are walking over to the printer.
Having the system get the passwords so it can enter them isn't a big deal. I only put my low risk passwords in the browser storage anyway. But that doesn't mean they should just be left pinned to the bulletin board for all to see! If a guest gets a list of all passwords they can pose as you at all the sites where the passwords were stored at a later date for as long as it takes you to realize something is up and then change them. If they log into a single site while using the computer, they have to do the damage then and are at a much higher risk of being caught in the act when you come back from the printer. That's the difference. Most crimes are simple crimes of opportunity. We should take away the easy opportunity and then we only have to worry about the dedicated thieves.
You are assuming that the local user on your machine came prepared to steal the passwords. Yeah, if they do same research online to figure out how to do it, get the required tools together, get enough time alone on the computer to pull it off, then they can do that. If they get 10 seconds alone while you go to the bathroom and decide to glimpse your facebook password so they can mess with you, then even an insecure master password would have helped out. Locks are only on houses to help keep honest people honest. They don't stop lockpicks and professional thieves. Does that mean we should stop using them? Most people haven't learned how to pick locks yet (I have), and breaking a window leaves too much of a trace.
And locking the front door of your house is just security theater so you have gone and removed all locks from your house right. After all, it is quite easy to just break a window to get in.
Locks are to keep honest people honest. A master password would keep honest people from doing the extra work necessary to crack or get at the stored passwords. A friend over at your house, your kids or significant other easily seeing them, things like this. The master password would not stop the dedicated thief, but there are many less dedicated thieves out there than there are honest people that may take an easy opportunity.
Microsoft do not understand that people will buy into there ecosystem if you offer them a great product...at great value. If those exist, potential customers may be more willing to look at Microsoft's hardware offerings as something more than a sad joke.
Microsoft does not know how to make a great product. In the past they had what you needed and you didn't really have a choice in the matter. It is like a company selling fart-gas filled air to breathe. Even though it smells, you can't survive without oxygen so you buy it when there is no other choice. Now we have a huge array of choice in what our air smells like and the fart smelling air is looking less and less attractive. There will still be those who are so used to the fart smell that they will claim it is necessary or that it doesn't smell that bad. Perhaps their sense of smell gets damaged over time or they just don't even know what fresh smelling air is like.
It is sad in a way to watch them flounder so badly. For a company that grew so large and dominated so powerfully to fail so spectacularly in almost everything they try lately is just sad. I won't be sad to see them go though. I have developed a taste for the fresher airs out there and won't be trying their new extra-farty air they just put out.
So....
* if Google publishes something 'decent but much better on android' then it's Apple's fault.
* if MS publishes something decent but much better on WP8' then it's MS's fault.
What's with all the MS hate here anyway... if you don't like it don't buy it and just walk on. Do people get some kind of ego-boost out of bad-mouthing every single MS-product or decision ? Sjeezsss...
Obvious troll here! If Apple prevents Google from releasing something as good as they have on Android, then yes it is Apple's fault. But you probably think that makes the Apple system better anyway. Google is doing nothing to prevent MS from publishing, but they purposely choose to make a sucky product. The only thing MS would make that doesn't suck would be a vacuum.
And when the Death Star was destroyed, the people building because of mouths to feed were just as dead as everyone else. If a revolution comes and you end up getting shot, don't come crying to me because you chose to work for the side of evil.
But, but, but. . . If there is strong independent oversight there will be less room for profits! We can't run a business without profits, so we must accept some amount of risk. Well I mean, you must accept some risk. The company will not accept any risk to the profits, they push that off to you.
Filling in the 6 to make an 8 would not leave the dent on the left side of the eight between the two round parts. This is actually replacing the 6 with an 8 from elsewhere on the page.
Can't be a hole filling algorithm. The 8 that replaces the 6 still has the little dent on the left between the two round parts. It isn't just filling in the 6 to make an 8, it is actually replacing the 6 with a copy of the 8 from elsewhere on the page.
See, you would have been better off just running the guy over. As changing lanes that quickly is dangerous, and he was the cause of his own death there would be no word from a dead cop to fight against. In truth though, I'm sure they would have just come up with some parallel construction to convict you of cop killing.
Maybe if all cases are tainted because you no longer can trust that there was no parallel construction then it would have to stop. I don't see that happening though, so it's probably here to stay. Basically it shows that the policing agencies don't believe they have to follow any laws at all. Perhaps we should institute an open hunting season on all police, DEA, and spy agency personnel. That would thin their ranks out real quick.
Taxpayers pay, but aren't allowed to know where there money goes.
Shouldn't we consider that a form of "Taxation without representation"? There should be old fashioned style tea parties every day until we can start a revolution and make a new government run by the people.
Actually the ship's three propulsion pods can point in any direction. So, yes it can go at 90 degree or 180 or whatever direction it wants to. When breaking ice it is designed for 30 degree travel, but it is capable of any direction just like omni-wheels.
It's called a "Threat Narrative". It's why there were no WMDs. There never was even suspicion of WMDs. There was only the need for a Threat Narrative to convince the people to let the armed forces off it's chain.
Vietnam? Threat Narrative. McCarthyism? Threat Narrative.... The Holocaust? Threat Narrative.
Require Evidence before belief -- That's rational. Always disbelieve the Threat Narrative.
Don't Fall For It, not even once.
A single, simple hand grenade is considered a WMD. I am sure that Iraq has some hand grenades, so the threat of WMD's is real.
You can't sue the NSA if they screw up! You can't prove that they spied on you so you don't have standing to sue. Haven't you been paying attention to the things happening lately. The EFF has tried to bring lawsuits and they are thrown out. Why would yours be valid after you are in arrested and your life has been ruined. Sounds to me like you live in an imaginary dream world.

We scanned in the originals and then shredded them. This is now the official copy!
