It makes absolutely NO sense for them to flaunt their ability and willingness to do so as the simple course of action the entire reset of the world would take is a simple matter of NULL routing China and going on about their daily business
unless of course you are a proxy server trying to aid Chinese ppl trying the evade the great firewall of China.
Think of this as a new option to make evading their firewall much more expensive.
It is also possible that after the identified Dread Pirate Roberts of Silk Road 1.0 they traced a connection from him to the Silk Road 2.0
DPR says that only he knew the identity... but when did he set it up how often did they communicate and did he leave any trace?
I never believed the story of how DPR was originally identified. It is standard practice for intelligence agencies and sometimes police to hide their sources through parallel construction. They really find something out one way- then, after the fact, figure out all the ways they could plausibly have gotten the same information and say that is how they got the information. To make it more believable they can actually run the script and gather the info a second time in a manner that doesn't reveal their sources.
//We all know nuclear weapons will never get used//
Historically that is not true.
The 1st nukes developed were developed by the US, the 1st thing they did with them was use them on Japan. Perhaps you meant it as a statement of hope about the future... I hope you are right, but there is a whole lot of future. The smart money is on them being used again at some point. Can't possibly imagine a scenario when someone might use them again? Let me help out the lack of imagination: say someone is stupid enough to pick a big fight with a country that has them thinking that they'll never use them.. or a country that has them finds itself in a war with a powerful military that doesn't have them- or a civil war breaks out and one faction has control of the nukes and fill in the blank. Nukes probably will be used again and it probably won't be the end of the world as we know it, but it could.
From the article “make sure that it’s receiving at least 3 bars of service”
The words “at least” worry me here. That seems to imply some had 3 bars and some had 5. Since signal strength is often tied to network speed and how much power the radio needs to communicate with the towers this alone makes the results suspect. A carrier with 5 bars is going to have a huge advantage over one with 3. Maybe they misspoke and really they all had the same number of bars... even then I'd think they'd have to run a speed test as well since those bars are phone service bars not 3G/4G/LTE/whatever bars.
Yes I read the post, and he is investing the loan.
Follow me here.
Say I earn $1,000 dollars a month and that I also spend $1,000 a month. If someone gives me $1,000 dollars and a month I subsequently spend $1,000 on non-living expenses then which $1,000 dollars did I spend; the $1,000 I earn or the $1,000 given to me. Get my point? The correct answer is the $1,000 dollars given to me. It doesnt which $1,000 dollars I purport to have spent nor does it matter which physical bills I used. The fact or the matter is that if I had not been given the $1,000 I wouldnt have been able to spend $1,000 dollars on non-living expenses.
I'd be interested to see the legislation that says this is illegal. Links please:). My experience is that it is not an uncommon practice so I didn't think it was illegal. Though, I agree that it should be. The loans are supposed to be there for people that need them for education. They are not there for personal gain. If you can afford to invest it you don't need it.
Of course, at this point, probably 80% is being spent on global health
Actually the amount spent on global health since inception at $5,878,620,198 is closer to 50%.
which means that even if all their remaining budget was spent on US educational programs, it would only be a relatively small portion of their total annual spending.
$1.5 million for a single adult... The way housing prices are going in the bay area that will probably affect a significant segment of the middle class in the not too distant future.
For those of you who don't want to read the article this is the section detailing how people felt mislead: "someone [with prior] understanding of Origami, [they have been] saying 'We expected this and expected that' and comparing specification and price with laptop computers," said Steel. But even though a laptop can deliver more, it comes at a price, Steel noted."
Feature differentiation is essential. I updated to 1.5 because of the built in ability to drag my tabs around. A little faster, more reliable and more secure is not enough it isn't worth the time and possibility of breaking all my extensions. Don't get me wrong speed, reliability and security are reasons to upgrade, but not right now. A new feature I want to use is compelling Now! A major release is something that everyone should want to upgrade to now, otherwise there is nothing really major about it.
From the article "Already, there are activists gearing up to fight the nascent biofuel industry, on the grounds that fields of switch grass or cornstalks needed to produce ethanol will replace rainforests and bucolic country landscapes."
This sounds like a script from an 80's sci-fi movie where a comp is trying to reason:
biofuel farms bad.... biofarms bad... bio bad... people are bio...... people bad
The feds already define porn in magazines in a way that isn't all inclusive. It is being done. It can be done. Sure you have disagreement around the edges, but the results have hardly been prudish. Maxim commonly features 'artful' nudes and does not loose its non-porn status because of it. There is no reason to think that the process of defining porn will change.
If you think of Google as an advertising firm then buying their way into radio makes perfect sense. Big add campaigns typically don't restrict themselves to one media form. They are coordinated campaigns utilizing most if all media outlets in order to get their message repeatedly to the widest possible audience. If Google only does online advertising they will remain a small player in such high value campaigns. If they can offer advertisements across the media spectrum then they can offer package deals where they manage such campaigns for companies which could bring them a lot of revenue.
"radicals, members of the Sons of Liberty (who would be classified as terrorists today)"
Hmmm did the Son's of Liberty bomb theater houses? Did they blow up shoppers at the market? Did they slaughter repair men. Did they intentianally murder as many ordinary working people as they could? Your accusation is wrong. You claim to know history?
You know nothing of history or greatness. Washington was great for many reasons. The colonial army followed him with great loyalty. He won many victories, he won against the British. You want a perfect war. They don't exist. Mistakes happen in war as they do in life. He could have ruled the country through the military, he didn't. He could have rulled the country through politics, winning election after election (there were no term limits on the presedency then), but he choose the leave after his second term which set such a strong precident that legal enforcement was not needed untill many years after Washington died. You seem to think Washington was an inept man motivated by spite and a desire for creating his own Dynasty.You are like a man who when presented with a perl hurls it into the ocean cursing it.
