unless ones tastes are very niche specific and peculiar, almost all the popular porn is freely available in quantities larger than anyone can consume. so if one is not a pirate freeing all that for others, no point in buying anything at all, or even giving info to obtain access.
to cover identity, use the well tested fact that western media/'security researchers' are always willing to 'fall' for any and all obvious cyrillic clues left behind, to blame russians on all occasion. but don't forget to leave small amount of korean script too. very good for free publicity.
don't you know that current slashdot editors believe that adding 's' to verbs is more secure. they will duplicate the story later in the day to ensure.
you do have a problem with comprehension, since you are replying to imaginary points i never made , when you go on about "can't create", "immoral venture", "regret", etc.
if you can read and understand, you will see my point, from first, was that google do throw money to waste when they take up and drop projects(as does some of the other big techs). and they can do that, for now, because they are successful in their main competence ; ad pushing in google's case.but once that core business is no longer a cash cow, no longer generating higher return than boarder market, they will be held accountable for waste and will stop poking in all kinds of businesses. apple is entering that stage now. so far you have not made any valid arguments against that point , but due to your comprehension inability go in to tangents.
"fun to think that you somehow have more insight into Google's business than the hundreds of people they employ to do the same thing...humility is probably in order.." old conglomerates employed much more people than google, but they were broken up or subsided into low return obscurity. i am stating an obvious fact, no claim to exceptional 'insight'.
google is not being held accountable, and is wasting its own money, earned through success in its core competencies(mainly ad pushing ), in various kinds of projects which usually turn out mediocre or fails(compared with other companies that have those projects as a core competency). google then abandons them. it has happened again and again .
old conglomerates that tried to do everything also faced the same problem, and after years of lower return on capital, compared to broader market, were eventfully broken up or moved into low earning obscurity. google and other big techs are getting away with same waste for now, because their core businesses are doing well, once that is no longer true and those markets mature they will face the same market accountability as old conglomerates. apple is in fact just starting to face that. so will google eventually .
google is just throwing money around, and poking fingers into everyone's business ( not to mention politics and bloody regime changes ), because it is not being held accountable by anyone due to its success in its main competence ; ad pushing online. but while wasting money on anything and everything, it has lost all focus and is neglecting its core competencies.
some of the other big tech corps have the same defect. they will start refocusing once their cash cow businesses stop expanding and/or profits become less. this is happening to apple now . will happen to google.
i am skeptical about the numbers and time period, merely due to a rule change. these regulatory people have an exaggerated notion of their power in real world. a change furthermore that require some time to implement in detail. (for instance, how many can practically get new certification during one year? )
- more interestingly would be the public reaction to inevitable first few deaths, if numbers do reach the ones cited (if not in 1 year in 1 decade or so ). how would inevitable calls for tighter regulations be handled?
you know that your claims makes no sense. if they manipulate their currency by undervaluing it to push their products including software, dollar value of anything originally designated in their currency will be higher. iow, if they undervalue their currency, cost of this project in dollar terms(74m) is higher than the real cost.
if "all of the expensive instruments came from other nations" why can't those other nations use same instruments to do that same thing at less.
maybe basic understanding of logic and basic education is what you need.
you are free to dig yourself into a hole by using faulty logic. it is irrational to claim that exercise basic common sense and caution, require technical knowhow.
as usage stats indicate, billions of people have what is required use no tracking and no scripting extensions. same with being not lured in to fake sites and easy to use white listing of authentic sites when needed . all it takes to be safe from this 'attack' is common sense and caution at any point of its requirements for success .
as i said from first there are incompetent idiots, like hillary, who lack those. don't slander everyone else by dragging them to her level of non competence.
this seems 'practical' only if victim is very stupid and has no common sense practical ability
So by your described metric, all of our non-technical families and friends are very stupid and have no common sense practical ability and it's their fault
no, your logic is faulty. one or more of common sense actions like avoiding fake sites pretending to be others, and having widely used no tracking and no scripting extensions would prevent this 'attack' . all that does not require technical knowledge.
common sense competence and caution, which people like hillary clearly lacks, is all that is required.
from what i read here, this seems 'practical' only if victim is very stupid and has no common sense practical ability, committing several silly mistakes in succession, from being lured to a fake sites to having full tracking and scripting enabled for all sites etc.
of course, with people like hillary clinton around, who fit that description, this is useful. too bad being stupid and incompetent seems not to stop the careers( or have any consequence) of establishment elites no matter how many times they are exposed as easy penetrations for hacking or corruption. .
have to agree with ac. the record that count is the is longest one, held by a russian who used russian spacecraft to do that. now this says 'nasa astronaut' set a new us record. which in fact made him a pathetic 17th worldwide. but even for that, he is in fact using non nasa russian rockets and support, going up from russia. if somali athlete who got most medals for great britian in this olympics is counted as british , then even this 17th ranker in record should count as russian.

anyway thanks for unwittingly supporting my original point; "more like enough said about quality of/. comments when most of the comments here are about a foreign word mispronounced and mistranslated."
1/ since i have not used or logged in to my facebook account,(which is in my real but very common name that many others share) after initial signing up, and since i have variety of tracking blockers which do block facebook trackers in other websites, they have no data. only people trapped in facebook's walled garden can think it is all that powerful.
more difficult to avoid the reach of that other ad pusher google.
2/ they are way too confident in their algorithms that categorize users. i have seen enough wrong headed google ads/recommendations/etc to know that they have a wrong idea about my preferences on many things.
this is not only hilarious, it is good. let these two ultra evil corps fight it out, while they pretend to be do no evil ordinary grass roots catering to interests of masses.
linking to "pirated content" is not necessarily a "scam".
in fact, it can be argued that charging high prices for copying data (near zero cost operation now) , as copyright holders do, is more deserving of name "scam".

you know that iphones actually have ever smaller share of market. just stick to numbers.
but you are right, samsung recall may well have no impact, since anyone not buying sumsung will buy some other android phone.
unless ones tastes are very niche specific and peculiar, almost all the popular porn is freely available in quantities larger than anyone can consume.

no.
that assumption says more about the interests and level of quality of editors here now.

since none of these are true in this case, your point is invalid.
you know that your claims makes no sense.

going by the condition and smell of any large city in usa, that country is yet to crack that either.
all the mediocre 'artists' with no accomplishments other than 'working' at it , are to get their stories here. /. has come!
yay! how far
