Insecure is a relative term. I designed encryption stuff. If each client has a unique encryption key, and there is a transition consisting of re-encription between sender/receiver, then the sender does not know the recipients encryption key and vice versa. There is a daemon in the middle that decrypts/re-encrypts for both parties, and it is not PGP. Each party uses symmetric key encryption.
And of course, Blackberry could be using public key algorithms for encryption. That would mean that a physical phone (found or taken by government) will have both public and private keys... Not a great idea.
If she told me the sky was blue I'd glance up just to check.
I use yahoo mail! I prefer it to Gmail. Occasionally I will use Evolution to access both Y and G. I prefer Y because I don't have to give Google information about my life.
Single user and no security what-so-ever. IBM should have used the 68000 combined with a proper OS.
Single user single tasking was just fine for the day's hardware and the user needs. *nix would just slow the hardware down for no good reason, PCs weren't for remote time sharing use. Plus *nix, and its software "ecosystem" wasn't really a good match for a 16-bit architecture.
Yes, the 68K was a much nicer processor. The segmented memory models of the x86 were a major source of bugs. 32-bit registers would have been nice.
MS and IBM had a proper OS for the hardware of that era, it was 16-bit OS/2. The market said no thank you.
The market did not say No, It was MS that saw OS/2 as a serious competitor, and did everything to prevent it's deployment. They MS succeeded. ask the old timers about that failure of OS/2.
As an European I haven't been following all the details, but if I am not mistaken, Trump is actually relatively supportive towards gays
Trump just announced as his Vice President a governor who openly advocates forcing "gay conversion therapy" as a biblical method to cure homosexuality.
Trump took a dull boring evangelist as a running mate. When you put the potential VP beside Trump, Trump comes out like a shining star.
Yes, because the word of the driver who totaled his car is also entirely reliable. I mean, it's not like he'd be liable if he crashed it himself, but could get a lot of money if Autopilot was the problem.
The autopilot also limits speed to legal limits. Which driver do you know follows the posted limits. Therefore, to exceed the posted speed limit, you disable autopilot.
The GGP is, though possibly not intentionally. The only way to enforce the "a person who does nothing deserves nothing" rule would be to eliminate the stock market, eliminate corporations, and basically throw out the entire system as it is now. After all, the people at the top of our economic system make money by doing basically nothing other than loaning out their money.
In fact, capitalism in its purest form can best be described as "Those who have get; those who have not get bent." It is basically the exact opposite of the fanciful notion that people should be rewarded for their hard work; the people at the bottom invariably work the hardest (to the point that they get home from work physically exhausted) and get the least benefit from that work, and the people at the top do the least work and reap the biggest rewards.
A universal basic income is really the only way to make it possible for people to be rewarded semi-equally for equal amounts of work. It takes away the necessity to work for your most basic needs, thus freeing up time for people to learn new skills and improve their abilities so that the time they spend working is actually valuable to society instead of just continuing to do things that a robot will soon be able to do for less money. And whether they choose to improve themselves or not becomes entirely under their own control, rather than having menial labor forced upon them by the need to eat and have a roof over their heads.
social welfare is not universal income, but guaranteed income. Society needs to take care of the poor and needy, or expect civility to disappear and crime to rise.
How can you tell a politician is lying? Their lips are moving.
That is why we should elect Jeff Dunham President of the United States.
Walter can run for Vice President. Plenty of precedent for having a dummy for VP.
Its easy. The best American example is convoluting insulting exaggerating Donald Trump. He has called his opponents liers, crazy, and moreover, will not produce any facts, like his financial status. For example, does he owe money to the IRS, or to the electricians, plumbers. and other tradespeople who are or have sued him for non payment? I would say that DT is morally and financially bancrupt, and needs to win the presidency in order to avoid the truth and facts from being divulged. And just read body language. What you are watching most are his hands, not his face. Yes, completely ignoring facts and exaggerating or distorting facts is what we see from the man.
I'm still trying to figure out what that means. I mean, has anybody lost their house yet? Even with all of this, a simple divorce proceeding would be much more devastating to any particular individual involved in the case.
Watching this game by Ellison is like watching exaggerating Donald Trump. And watching Jealousy and greed manifest itself.
With net neutrality, the ISPs will at first cry "unfair/unfare" for the unwarranted extra money they might earn to offering 5G and suddenly competing on quality of service and gasp, yes, to realizing "No more government handouts"
Uh huh. Are you aware of the problems with the race to the bottom? If you only place a value on monetary value, and nothing else, the you are not empowering those on lower wages but ensuring that soon everyone will be treated as slave labour. It is your own future you're handing over for a few cheap trinkets. Dumb,, but sure go ahead and vote for Christmas, you're going to get stuffed.
Essentially, with your Dollar store mentality (Walmart is no longer competitive, though their products are of cheap quality), you are insuring that the next generation of workers will not earn enough to pay the taxes that are needed to cover your government pension.
bs like we find people over X don't like to work over 50 hours a week and that is not the what we want in this office.
Wait a sec, when people think women don't want to work 50 hour weeks so get fewer promotions and less money it's all fine, because that's their lifestyle choice and they prioritize work hours over pay. But when older people don't or can't work like a 20 year old who hasn't figured out they are being exploited yet, it's unacceptable and a lawsuit is required to fix it.
Of course 50 hour weeks are ridiculous. At the moment they are mostly illegal in the EU (the limit is 48 hours, and even that can't be a constant thing). Just apply it equally to everyone.
For a delivery crunch, I did 60 hours a week for a three month period. At the end of the third month -- I had burnout. I quit that company and took a 6 week rest. Still had that obsessive compulsive 60hr work/week feeling for a long time.
I measure the effects of GMO on my life. I used to buy tomatoes that were deep red and juicy. They were GMO modified to make them survive transportation. Well, these tomatoes are now pinkish red, more meaty and not at all flavourful or delicious. The tomatoes have become decorations to a sandwich or salad.
Needing to swap in a second battery in the middle of the day isn't the issue. The problem is that batteries lose their capacity after a year or two. Being able to swap in a new battery and have the same battery life from when you first got the phone can put off that upgrade for another year or two. I can see why manufacturers don't want user replaceable batteries though.
It can't go against the "Rule of Law" when he is expressly granted that power by our most supreme law. There is no law in the United States that trumps the Federal Constitution. That document gives him the power to pardon Federal offenses. It does not -- as people erroneously believe -- give him the power to pardon State offenses. He could give Snowden a full pardon but Snowden could just as easily find himself charged on the State level for any number of crimes.
The American separation of powers doesn't work the way you seem to think it does either. The Executive is responsible for initiating criminal prosecutions and it has some discretion in how it exercises this power. It's true that in other countries -- Civil Law jurisdictions -- an Independent Judiciary both brings charges, prosecutes, and adjudicates them, but that's not how it works here. The Executive brings charges and prosecutes them before the Judiciary which adjudicates.
I suppose Snowdon has a good social life in Russia, and perhaps, even with a pardon, he would choose to remain there. Russians are very very hospital people and caring too. Russia has universal medicare too:)
I agree that ES won't be pardoned.. By this administration or the next...
Now granting a pardon for Hillary? I'm pretty sure he won't do that because it's a no win situation for him.
In order for a pardon to be a net gain for anybody here, Hillary will have to be charged. Where I believe she's committed a number of felonies with this E-mail thing, she's NOT getting charged as long as Obama is in the White House, no way no how. It's technically possible she gets charged, but that only puts Obama in a tough spot. He'd have to pardon her and further tarnish his image and make it harder for her to be elected. She won't be charged.
Obama could preemptively pardon Hillary (even though she's not been charged), but that has no upside for him or her either. Where this would put the issue legally behind her, both Hillary and Obama would suffer the same political fall out, making her election harder for the party.
The wild card here is what happens AFTER the election and that depends on who wins... If Trump wins, I can see Obama letting Hillary get charged and then sitting on his hands. Seems to be his style to let her blow in the breeze at that point, but Trump's election is hardly assured. If Hillary wins, then gets charged, things would get interesting indeed because I'm still not sure Obama would pardon her, and if she took office with charges pending you can bet the house would impeach her before the end of January 2017 and she'd be out of office within months. In fact, she'd be impeached even with the pardon....
What amazes me is that we are at this point in this country.... How far have we fallen... Just the current crop of presumptive nominees should cause the thinking person pause...
If he was pardoned, and returned to the USA, there would be a major car accident where Snowdon would be made to pay for his whistle blowing.... For "car", substitute whatever. Some people are always and forever rancorous.
Uber and Lyft left Austin because the VOTERS decided in a referendum to demand that they do ground checks based on fingerprints. Uber and Lyft said that what they had was good enough. Lyft and Uber lost badly and they so they left. So, to be clear for you my astroturfing friend, most people VOTED AGAINST LYFT and UBER.
Its the same rule elsewhere. In my province, operators (driver license with right to transport people) have to pass security, health and safety exams, which also includes liability insurance to protect passengers. As well, the vehicle MUST pass a semi-annual safety check for brakes, suspension and vehicle cleanliness.
Your comment is ignorant. There's no proof whatsoever that going against free trade had hurt anyone. Call it protectionism or whatever you want. In America we've had NAFTA and WTO free trade agreements that have killed the American labor force. I've seen it since the 1990s. The corporations lead a strong PACs that want you to believe how much better off you are now than going against their wishes. People like Romney fill their pockets at the expense of the middle class.
You people that support free global trade are the same ones whining about H1B, product dumping, and speaking to foreigners whilst calling Concast.
Can't have it both ways folks.
I guess that you believe Nafta is a bad deal. I think so too. Canadians don't need American cars, or agriculture products. We don't need Kellogs, Heinze, Campbells, or things like Oranges, Greens like Lettuce, tomatoes, and more. We don't need American cars-- Keep Ford, GM, Chrysler away.
We can get every agricultural product from Africa, Mexico, or Latin America at good prices and equal quality. Yes, Naftha was a great benefit to the USA, Canada should renegotiate that trade deal to get out of it. We could have a better deal buying and selling with the world,
Taylor Swift, U2 and others talk about looking out for the small guy, but it's self enrichment that they are really after. These 'artists' were happy with DMCA when people like Jamie Thomas paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for downloading a song. They weren't signing petitions then. Now that YouTube is making money, they want a bigger piece of the pie. Nothing wrong with wanting more money, but "consumer benefit" is a lie.
YouTube has done more to bring music to the poor, by being free, than these clowns.
I admit it's not fashionable, but I am a Fedora/CentOS/RH fanboy. Not only is Fedora offer the latest and greatest for the Desktop, but they offer enterprise level integrations and features that no other can match. FreeIPA anyone?!
I was, but this time, my standard is Fedora23. My UPS does not show up with Fedora24. upower-0.99.4.tar.xz does not compile with Fedora24 I won't run a SSD based system if when necessary, the UPS can't tell the computer to "shutdown now / poweroff "
With spinning disks, any file corruption can be usually repaired on reboot with the ext4 or xfs journal. With SSDs, the entire SSD can be accidentally wiped out due to an unplanned shutdown.
Here in Quebec, we have a "No fault" insurance law. When an automobile accident occurs, each party takes care of it's own repairs, and the deductible is accessed against the faulty party (or absorbed by the company).
Our insurance rates are probably the lowest in North America. The NFI plan also accommodates the injured. Hospitalization is part of our healthcare system, if the accident requires hospitalization of either or both parties, passengers and bystanders.

Jill Stein Pledges To Pardon Snowden
Yeah, I can see how that might actually be a worthy thing to od.
