I don't mind they used it on that day; where there's a real threat with a possible follow-up. My problem is what they do with tools like this the other 364 days a year. If anyone believes that this sits in a hangar waiting to be available during an emergency, I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn.
Yea, but every bit they do to try and slow it down will help. Unfortunately, this is a mostly feel-good toothless agreement with no hard number CO2 goals or penalties for failing to meet them. Exxonmobil, Shell, BP and the other companies have sadly ran a very successful disinformation campaign to fuel a bunch of anti-government climate deniers to slow down the process.
Trump supporters tend to be one of two type of people. First is scared older white people who mourn the end of the 1950s. Second is the type of person that looks at a house that has a leak in the roof and needs some other repairs and decides the best solution is to burn the house down. Cruz supporters tend to be made more of the second group.
Anything that the oligarchs really don't like or anything that would remove them from their self-created seats of power or otherwise diminish their power in any way. Sorry, I took for granted this would be obvious.
DHS isn't the disease, it's a symptom of a much larger problem. Large money interests now almost entirely control the federal government and now are turning it against its own citizens to keep the plebeians in check, while at the same time, shoveling money into their pockets.
No, I think Trump knows the stuff he'd spewing is bullshit but, it plays well with scared old white people who are losing power in the US. He's just a narcissistic asshole that knows what'll get him the Republican nomination. Plus, my understanding is, Hitler was actually a likeable guy if you met him in person; I've never heard that said about Trump.
Well, in Stargate specifically, they were classifing planets based on the 20 or so mile radius around the stargates only. The environment past this was irrelevant unless they were considering colonizing the planet. The most they could get through the stargates, without assembly, (until late in the series) was ATVs and recon drones.
You missed some details from Star Trek II. They were doing research in the Ceti-Alpha star system around Ceti-Alpha 5 (though they thought it was 6). The system was already considered capable of supporting life, thus having a suitable sun. The nebula was near Ceti-Alpha 5 and may have been the remains of Ceti-Alpha 6. Regula was essentially a plutoid in the star system. As far as why the Enterprise D didn't have such devices as weapons, after the Genisis debacle, all such devices were banned by treaty for use in any purpose so there was no further research.
Seriously what the hell would you suggest? There will always be terrorism as long as there are radicals with a score to settle. If you're referring to (sudo-)Islamic terrorism only, there is no way to root out all terrorists. If your thinking of rounding them up Hitler style, you still have a problem. Islam is a faith of choice. If you try to round them up, they'll just deny that they follow Islam. So then what? Round up all brown skinned people? Worldwide they outnumber Caucasians by a huge margin and you still will not get all Muslims as they can be Caucasian too. So rather than vague "final" solutions, why don't you try to be constructive for a change.
Actually, you are both right. A lot of companies have a no FOSS software rule due to the GPL and it's based on a total lie spread by salesmen. I have personally seen a Microsoft salesman tell it and I've heard of an Oracle one telling it. They use the GPL as a boogyman to convince clueless C-level personnel to never use free software and to buy their products instead.
It wasn't intentional. I just used that many words to get that particular thought out. After the comments, I even went back and re-read it and thought to myself "how the hell did I do that?"
You know, I've read a lot of anti-systemd rants on here and other boards and there's always one of two angles. One: Rants about how it breaks the Linux culture of development and the "do one thing well" general policy. Two: Rants about how bad things could theoretically be if there is a problem. Not one post on any board has cited an actual problem they have encountered and how it damaged their infrastructure or workflow. I am not for or against systemd but, with the general consensus of the posters, there seems to be few real world problems with it and instead, a lot whining about how systemd breaks "their" precious Linux world view. I'm a casual Linux user with light server work and I went from a non-systemd to a systemd setup. What difference did I notice? A faster boot time. My world didn't end and my computers didn't melt down into a pool of children's tears.
The content cartels have been trying to push the bullshit "Intellectual Property" term for quite some time; obfuscating whether a claim is a patent, copyright or trademark. They have been trying to create an umbrella "protection" for content that is as loose on requirements as trademarks, length of copyrights (or longer) and with the legal enforcement powers of patents (or more). Their wet dream is to be able to claim anything as "IP" with an unlimited term and even more enforcement powers than currently allowed with patents because they are trying to get it where they can send the police after you on their word alone without a judge overseeing them with no appeal process. Some of this was rammed into the TPP but, not all of it. They keep using the slow boiling pot method to try and move this through without people fighting it. They tried pushing this stuff through much faster and in larger pieces and it always backfired. Secret negotiations and votes seem to be a common tactic now, bending the laws of a lot of countries to keep them hidden from the public until it is too late. In short, the corporations are trying to create a system where they own everything and you have to pay monopoly rates to them in perpetuity because you have no other choice as no one is ever allowed to compete with them.
The whole point of this is to avoid going after the correct organizations that have laws and lawyers on their side and instead get what you want via a backdoor opened by this law that allows you to go after the smaller fish that don't have the resources to fight your will in court and then, once you have the court judgement, you can use it to browbeat the larger players into submission without ever having to challenge them in court directly as they were never a party to the original claim but, the judgement will apply to them anyway. It's a dirty trick that I'm sure was put in this law by design as large players such as ICANN and Google have been very successful at fighting off claims like this in court. Now they will be able to get court orders against them without ever having to directly face them. No one can believably claim that this is an "accidental" legal loophole provided by the law. It was just obfuscated enough to get it past the general public without much of a fight.
I use it for things such a LibreOffice downloads and ISO images of things such as The Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) and I know World of Warcraft uses it for its update engine. There are also a lot of other non-infringing uses of the protocol. The media companies just want the protocol and anything like it to be declared blanket illegal as it is an effective way to transfer large files which the media companies would like all such ability removed from the internet. They want both control over the content itself as well as any possible method of transferring such content so they can double-dip like they do on cable TV.
It's a living organism, there is no such thing as "no chance" of anything. Living organisms mutate and do wildly unpredictable things in rare instances; hell, that's how we're able to discuss this. Now, that being said, the chances of something wildly rare and unpredictable happening with the virus versus the predictable sickness and death with the cancer, I'd take the virus any day but, not all people are that rational (just look at the anti-vaxxers).

Yes, but this method funnels more money to security and defense contractors. Oh wait, you thought it was about actual security?

I see the climate-denier shills are not even bothering to manufacture accounts here anymore.

Touche. Sometimes you have to fight the symptoms and the disease at the same time, whether you want to or not.

Oops. I didn't even see that error. Nice catch.
Never forget; until it is convenient to do so. FTFY
The problem with this topic is that Godwin can be invoked and be 100% on topic at the same time. Especially with the vitrol Donald Trump is spewing.

He an evil mastermind set on world (Mars) domination. Didn't you see the Colbert interview?
I get 15 points about evey three days or so. It's not always consistent as some days I forget to log in.

That's not really an option for us who moderate on a regular basis. We have to deal with the trolling and the spam.
