Well, there goes any citizen's chance at recrimination against the government. The NSA got it's wet dream, get out of jail free card and ordered by, none other than, the legal system itself! Maybe, this data should have been ordered to be removed from the control of the NSA and put into private hands for storage.
to the concept of the remote controlled plane or helicopter? Now, the marketers have got their dirty mitts on it and have to call in a drone! It's not a drone, it's simply a fucking remote controlled aircraft. I love hearing the kids ask for drones for a birthday present or whatever. This entire thing is not a NEW concept yet everyone is drooling and oooh aaaahing it like it's white shit hot. I hate to break it to you but this shit has been around for a very long time. In fact, many ham radio operators got their license so that they could fly model aircraft higher and at longer distances. I should know, I'm one of them.
I have a very difficult time believing this. This sounds like junk, alarmist science. The problems are more than just meat. We cannot even begin to understand what impact human beings have on the environment. We can really only speculate and postulate. We do not really understand the weather, which is only a part of the climate system. Anyone that claims to be an expert on climate, I raise an eyebrow. This does not mean that we should not be better stewards of our home. Conservation is wise and prudent.
From the article, “pretty sure that information within Google is now safe from any government’s prying eyes.” Well, pretty sure just doesn't cut it for me.
Normally I'm a staunch railroad fan, but this thing is cool. Hell, if I got a chance to drive this thing I'd happily fill out an employment application at WalMart. This futuristic truck is pretty bad ass!
I wouldn't use a bike for commuting unless I had shower facilities. That much said, you can always carve out time during the week for a good, decent ride simply for activity.
If more people pedaled twenty miles or so on a regular basis, we might actually have fewer healthcare costs - OMG, imagine that! We might be able to shrink the size of all of the industries that make bank off of our sedentary life styles yet still lay people off. Nothing like a healthier America to punish big business for being too greedy. It's the best kind of industry regulation - one that requires no government intervention.
The entire point of the Citibike project was so people would actually get some physical activity. A heathier population drives down cost. I'm shaking my head - no wonder, America's waistline continues to expand as we are unwilling to pedal even on the relatively flat surfaces of many cities. We look to our government to solve problems for us, our government actually comes up with a darn good idea for a change, and we aren't interested because it's 'too hard.' On one hand, I hope these do get banned because they totally defeat the purpose. I started bicycle riding at above 300 pounds and road my way to a much healthier lifestyle. It was hard, I started slowly, but I did it with patience and determination. There is a lot of reward in actually having to reach a goal as a right of passage instead of looking for a quick fix. At no time did I ever look for any motor, electric or otherwise.
With all of the problems that exist in India, I don't see how they are going to get it done. Even if they do, at what ultimate cost? I think of all those who will suffer as a result of a government fools errand.
This article is an example of poor technology journalism. The article offered a pathetic excuse as to why security has not been implemented: it's too complex and difficult. No one ever bothered to write a good user interface for the security mechanisms. Most of the security tools are written to be used by engineers. Why not make a user interface that glues together these tools so that every Tom, Dick, and Harry can use them? It isn't necessary to use such complex tetminology either. I'm not saying dumb it down completely but make some tools for the less computer savvy.
You're missing the point. The fact that you can get a copy of the movie using some technical workaround is meaningless.
The important point is that the law says you are not allowed to see it on YouTube. Its a right that you had yesterday that you do not have today. Part of the massive, slow and irreversible erosion of our rights.
This is precisely why we need a community-owned internetwork that is decentralized and outside of corporate and government control!
Having lived in Arizona, I know how politically dysfunctional it really is. I support the spirit of the bill meaning that science should be transparent but of course, this barely educated moron has to throw in a gaff at the left. It makes what would be a solid argument and makes it sound childish.
This is an example of the dumbing down of the human race. There are so many other factors in our environment that can be cancerous. At best, this is a large jump to a conclusion, especially when the wattage of WiFi is very low.
I'm generally a strong open source advocate but I haven't found an open source window manager that works as well for my needs. I think having a heterogenous mix of open source and proprietary in your environment is a good thing.

This is the result of people outsourcing their thinking to others. This is what happens when you have politicians running the show.

Let's begin making government smaller by getting rid of the NSA. Imagine the savings to the tax payer!
This, or go to a VPN service provider like tunnelr.com or setup an SSH tunnel on your own.
There is a very broken, hazy line between marketing and lying.

Artistic freedom should win the day on this one. This is precisely why I am an atheist. Very little good, if any, comes out of religion.
Fuck you, Uncle Sam! :-D
He's got my support!

The politicians are contributing enough gas for all of us!
I love it when the patent trolls bite the dust. I'm singing the Queen song right now!

Well, at least I have command of the English language.
Yup, the telecom nazis have no interest in bringing anything resembling high speeds at affordable prices. Heaven forefend, it might be socialist!
