they settle for lower wages. To them, $50 a week is still like winning the lottery
That would be true if the workers were being paid to work remotely, while still living in their lower-income country. If those workers are using the visas to come to the USA, then the lower wages are nowhere near enough to survive on. What you end up seeing is 8-10 people renting a house together because it is all they can afford.
You can sync the same database to as many devices as you want using Dropbox. If you're too paranoid to use Dropbox, you can copy the master database manually between devices.
You could also use a password manager, which creates a random, unique password for every site for you. You have to remember one master password to use the program, and it automatically enters the username and password for you when you log into a website.
Unless your computer is hacked and the master database stolen, it's a pretty decent way to use unique passwords.
The companies sending you the junk mail is the only reason that the USPS is not losing more money than they are. The revenue from the junk mailers more than makes up for the relatively low cost to send a letter via USPS.
Why don't we in the US, drop a little 'demonstration' ourselves....maybe have about 4 or 5 'empty' of payload polaris missles drop near the shores of NK, just to show them WE CAN already do this..?
For those that don't understand from TFS how it would work and don't want to RTFA:
"Excess energy would be used to pump water out of the centre of the island, and then the water would be let back in through turbines when demand outpaces supply."
I'm no engineer, but it seems like you would spend more energy pumping the water out, than you would get back from the turbines, so wouldn't this be not very efficient?
Are batteries out of the question when it comes to storing this much energy?
What percentage of social media users enter junk data?
75%? 85%?
You are referring to/. or technical, or paranoid people in that number. Most non-tech people probably will happily enter their real phone number, hometown, high school, college, and anything else FB asks for so that all of their "friends" can find them easier.
You underestimate the importance of face-to-face meetings for getting VC money. As in, you don't get any without a face-to-face meeting.
There's a reason dog-and-pony shows were created and are still around: we humans love us a good in-person circus show.
Are you saying that airlines do not fly to these remote locations, and that there is no way for entrepreneurs to have face-to-face meetings with investors?
Seriously: why are you worried about google doing cable, and why do you think mitm attacks are possible when using encryption?
He's being overly paranoid. When he refers to MITM certs, he means that in theory, someone could have installed their own root certificate into ALL of your computer browsers, and then they could intercept your outbound SSL traffic. This is how SSL proxies work, but it requires you (or your IT) to install the trusted certs in the browser.
It is quite unlikely that this would ever happen, and is not difficult to detect and mitigate (remove the untrusted certs).
I wonder how long it will take Anonymous to write a script that will take in their intended text, and then re-write it so that it randomly changes the linguistic style so that they will never be able to track it?
The problem is, that if Anonymous obtained the videos illegally, then the police will not be able to use it to prosecute the people that did it. The police can only use evidence in a trial that was gathered legally via a warrant.
You're right. But then they should stop selling her phones lol that seems much easier than chasing her with a taser.
They did try to stop selling her phones. She would not leave, so they called the police. She refused to leave, so they tried to arrest her, and she resisted.
This sounds vulnerable to a DoS attack, though. If I walk up to your house and enter a random pin a couple of times you are effectively locked out from your own home for up to an hour.
I'm sure that this lock also contains a physical key, to prevent this exact thing, as well as if the battery dies. All you've done is made it a little inconvenient to get into his house.
Also, RoR is a framework for creating a website from scratch, which is exactly what the poster did not want to do. There may be CMS packages written in RoR, but Ruby by itself will take a lot more work than he wants.
the AP gets to tell all the stations to STFU, and then handles traffic of each station one at a time, giving each at full upstream bandwidth, while the other stations wait until are allowed to speak. Switch.
That is absolutely not how a network switch works. In a switch, every connected device can send and receive on a completely separate collision domain from any other device connected. They basically implemented Token Ring on wireless.

In fact, the USPS wants to send you more junk mail.

How about a nice game of chess?

Thats what a Firewall is for.
Awesome! I didn't know firewalls can keep Jehovah's Witnesses out.

I'm sure 72TB is enough for the life of an averagely used PC, and possibly even a gaming PC.
Yeah, 72TB should be more than enough for anybody.

According to my criminal contacts, the average used pc laptop has almost no resale value and isn't worth stealing.
You mean Eddie Crispo?

I certainly ANAL
TMI, dude. TMI.
And once you transport it back to Earth, it most definitely is yours.
That presumes that the space pirates don't steal it from you first!

I use Fluxbox. It's lightweight, fast and does everything I need it to.
So do I.

Doesn't the AP already have complete control over the channel?
I would imagine that they could attach it to nano-bots that go inside the body and zap cancer cells or other diseases.
Either that or Obama cynically lied to his supporters throughout his entire campaign.
Isn't that just called running for office?
