Wow! OK. This is gonna haunt those kids well into their college years - if they even make 'em.
That was just brutal. Wars have been fought to keep kids like that from ever achieving anything, and to keep that rino Trump, and the rest of the inbred swine (cc 300 (2006)) from ever becoming President.
I wonder if those eyes glow in the dark... damn. Misschevess wee'uns.
I swear I thought I was starting a reading of another bullshit defensive response over another mass shooting, and it was kinda eerie. Most of his speech - IAB's Randall Rothenberg (has to be made up 'cuz he could soon be a target for Malibu Media) - reads like it came straight from the a̶n̶u̶s’ annals of the NRA.
That's so fucking weird...
At least Scott Cunningham's expertise and insight isn't lost in the kerflooey. It means whimsical revelry... :D
I don't like Metallica. I never have. They act like a gang of teens, who've never read a really solid book or watched a documentary that'll give you nightmares for a couple of years afterwards. They're not out there and the lyrics suck! They obviously didn't catch the viddy where New York-based U2 tribute band Unforgettable Fire, at The Cutting Room, and where Edge, and Adam Clayton not only showed up in support, but got up on stage and played.
It is obviously a boiler plate bogus takedown order (read the .pdf) but I believe that Lawyer dude was looking for a larger payout in the form of, "If we're successful, we can say 'Hey, Sanders, we gotchur back. Hire me, and I'll make you all kinds of rich.' "
I was never going to work. The logos are beyond public use, they're Sanders logos, and I'm of the feeling that he doesn't find that kind of t̶r̶o̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ behavior the least bit attractive.
It might have a "no follow" tagged in, but inspect the element, and then check the site out. Are you sure that this applies because it addresses abuse, BUT, it's substance abuse. :)
I watched the address last night, and there was more bark than bite - it was seriously over-blown. Several Dems & Repubs stated that they feel the TPP won't see any progress this year, but "... it's not dead."
You did mention IS and al Qaeda in the article so I'll write to that. I have spent some time trying to get a bead on the two terrorist organizations and I feel it boils down to this;
1. IS is the stronger, more viscous, more psychopathic of these two groups, and IS is 35k to 40k strong. Nevertheless, Boots on the Ground is remains an unviable option for the US. The coalition that is currently reducing IS is not the Medusa here, because we witness the deaths of their immediate leaders, and sure enough, those heads are replaced as quickly as the are delivered their death sentence. I have to agree that 'no boots' needs to be changed to one quarter million boots - the body needs to die in this conflict. It is unlike any guerrilla war that has been fought before. The coalition is literally dealing with a group that believes, entirely, in a first kill then convert 'business model, and it is using a form of Islam that is Medieval in context and purpose. The coalition needs to have all countries engaged in a ground war if they have any expectation for success.
2. The Open Internet needed to be a larger concern than POTUS's two short, contradictory statements, but it is something I suspect he couldn't go into more detail because of his time constraints - being the last year and all. The internet is not as big an issue as the individuals who have elected themselves guardians of the internet are to it. Just as much of a problem to Human development as Global Warming, these unofficial officials, keep repeating the same phrases over and over again; "I'm not a Scientist", or "I'm not a Doctor", or "I can't comment on that just yet, BUT, I (we) have a plan", as well as "insert outrageous Donald Trump quote here", and they are given outrageous leniency for retarding the whole governing process. That's where the issue of openness in an open internet sits at the moment. These uninformed, almost illiterate leaders are by definition, infringing the accepted models that constitute openness, and trampling civil rights / constitutional rights in the process. I quote:
Openness to experience is one of the domains which are used to describe human personality in the Five Factor Model. Openness involves six facets, or dimensions, including active imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, attentiveness to inner feelings, preference for variety, and intellectual curiosity. A great deal of psychometric research has demonstrated that these facets or qualities are significantly correlated. Thus, openness can be viewed as a global personality trait consisting of a set of specific traits, habits, and tendencies that cluster together.
Everything appears as a Slippery Slope, or Red Herring, or some other fallacy that doesn't support any argument - virtually anything that is proffered has no bearing whatsoever on the truth.
Perhaps, in the next few months, we may see some movement on openness, and leaders coming to some form of understanding what this Internet of Things is truly about, and they'll accept it, but I can't be quoted on this.
POTUS can't really be held liable for what content, or lack thereof, his final State of the Union Address held or didn't hold. There was a huge vacuum on a number of topics that he didn't speak on He has been painted into corners his entire Presidency, but I think this last National address might be one of those corners where he'll just have to wait until the paint dries.
He might come out swinging, or he might just sit his last few months out. I have my money on POTUS taking a fighting stance, and putting his name on a few more Presidential Orders, just to put his finger in an open wound or two...
Happy you wrote this; Mad because you think THEY care...
THEY being those very old and ridiculously expensive Law Makers and Decision Makers currently in office, and if what I am told is true, on their way out very soon. Age and ignorance is now more than a factor than ever when it comes to running a Country. I really, really wanted to read an argument for Criminals and Terrorists, and all the relevant technology they employ in the acts they imagine, create, and then carry out EVERYDAY. Do you think Hezbollah manufactures the rockets they fire off every now and then. IS does not have an arms factory building them Kalashnikovs.
Threats Levels are truly an arbitrary point now, where it concerns actual threats. Encryption has to be exposed for what it is... A tool 'Ready at Hand' for use in everyday life. I have add-ons, extensions, a Tor browser, and VPNs, but it doesn't mean that I am any more secure.
Governments and their agencies have more access and tools than we can imagine - and some people have very vivid imaginations.
I sat with a former 'Military' Pilot nee Commercial, who explained to me in no uncertain terms that anything I can think of, the "Government is at least twenty years beyond that", although I should think because that is a twenty year old conversation, those gaps have been seriously closed - the public sector pays better, and treats their employees surprisingly well.
What I am saying here, is that the government has everything at its fingertips - all of it, and the "stuff" they don't have, is because it is truly out of everyone's reach. I am, you are, truly out of league if you think you're anonymous, or insecure. Briefly recall that the CELLBRITE only costs ten grand and you get almost everything... imagine what a twenty, fifty, or two-hundred million dollar budget gets you.
I'm just saying. The old ways are lost, but not altogether. I needed an Ambulance Tout de suite; Ive had the same cellphone since 2001; it took them almost twenty minutes to get to me because they couldn't find me. They had absolutely no idea where I was except that I was somewhere in Halifax.
Eventually I made it to the hospital, started breathing again, then got a small lecture on getting my technology updated. I think it works just fine, and I spent a hundred and ten thousand on my education, so I better have a freaking answer if somebody asks me - I do not need google on my cellphone (or Twitter or Facebook or SoundCloud or Spotify or Ello or blah blah blah).
This is what leads me to the assumption that governments are less concerned with encryption, and more concerned with location. Conversations can be had if needed; locations are needed.
Encryption will forevermore be a buzz word. Budgets need it... The 'Old Guard is leaving, and a new, and hopefully smarter, shift is about to punch in - although there is still a huge problem with trying to keep State and Church separate.
It seems to me the general assumption is, "if you buy or use our product, we can do 'stuff' to you in Good Faith".
I can probably say a general acceptance of this policy was when U2's newest album was downloaded into half a billion telephones without user permission.
Sure, SONY went with rootkits, a few years back, that destroyed twelve and half million computers and their ability to make any kind of DVD/CD/R-RW ever - and I've researched the shit out of this problem, and the only fix is a new machine, because Micro$oft is by no means helpful with sending out the MPEG fix that is so sorely needed; nope, no way in hell.
Then, or more appropriately, now Micro$oft going with their version of made in good faith, and is forcing user machines to becomes useless pieces of crap by installing machines with Windows 10 OS and updates without permission - you really need to read the 50 plus pages of details you sign on for with that one.
NOW, Phillips is trying to 'splane the thang' by this being a reaction to their firmware destruction that was "made in good faith" and "they made a mistake in consumer reaction" in forcing users to accept or go without what they produce.
The "made in good faith" argument is more the status quo than any hypothetical reaction they could have ever imagined - it is the perfect excuse to fuck with our lives in ways we are barely able imagine.
I'm just saying... "made in good faith" is fuckin gay!!! and I blame it all on Edward Snowden!!!
I usually laugh off people who get deeply scared about one person or another winning the Presidency, as they usually overestimate how much power the President really has.
I get that. I really do, but as POTUS, that's the tangible remainder of any Presidency. It says a / that specific something about a people, in regards to whom gets elected, and what they will be able to achieve in four years.
I wonder just what kind of meeting the Republicans will have on election night, 2016, when they see the inevitable conclusion of politics in America 'til 2024, AT LEAST, and the panic attacks actually start taking over.
Every reporter on Earth, is now aware of those Republicans, and their secret meeting addressing the fall, or how they could stump, or stomp, POTUS at every turn. It was during that fateful election night of 2008, and then again when G.O.P. Romney crashed and burned in 2012 and the really horrible horror ;)with a side of more panic attacks set in with the re-election of that "Black President".
One thing that we, all of us, can be certain of, is the GOP has not even begun to put the, always useful, always hilarious, and verging on obligatory, foot in the mouth.
Nevertheless, POTUS does have tons of power. Be respectful of the Office. When's the last time you heard Darrell Issa's name in the news??? ;>D
Wasn't Jesus (Fucking) Christ, technically, a Democratic (Fucking) Socialist?
I would be negligent in not at least asking this... and another thing, could I presume to identify a Democratic (Fucking) Socialist would be if they had inherited Fucking as a middle name?
PS I always wondered what their middle fucking name was.
I would expect nothing less from Senator Feinstein, FBI Director James Comey, and Intelligence Committee boss Senator Richard Burr, and the endless parade of fear mongering in order to get their really, really bad ideas pushed through.
I feel, nay, suspect that if things such as revisions to gun laws, more gun control, better access and total access to better health care - particularly Mental Health, people would feel so much safer, because things that can be accomplished, at home, are being accomplished at home. This constant typhoon of misinformation, disingenuous representation from all these temporary employees, especially in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, really is the big problem. So much more needs to be done in regards to educating the masses on issues such as mental health - see ThriveNYC; enlighten the masses on just what your computer, smart phone, tablet is doing when it comes to encryption.
Senator Feinstein, FBI Director James Comey, and Intelligence Committee boss Senator Richard Burr are in absolutely no way, by any measure, fixing anything they lend their limited intelligence to, and the shout-over-the-other-guys voice opinion.
Safety starts at home, but it can't be found in the language our smart devices use, it starts at an even better, more simple approach... it starts in your communities, the schools, with the Families, and, especially, most intrinsically, in the home, and by home I mean to include from the borders in as well...
The three aforementioned individuals are only exacerbating the inner struggles a great deal of the citizens are having; inciting noneducational rhetoric, and adding to the 9/11, Post-Snowden, hind-sighted Paris attack(s) are the targets - cut off the head, the body dies POV, when in fact the whole Encryption argument is really paper cuts on the body.
The arguments are going to be made after the fact, they will be useless, incontinent babbling, maligned, and always, always unconstitutional.
Why can't Bill Gates just sit down with these types, and explain encryption, lay-it-out for them that the Golden Key does not exist, and even if it did, there is no way that this Golden Key will do anything except harm, and increase, National Security.
Oh yeah, I just have to say something about that PlayStation remark. Is she actually in need of that mental health check I mentioned? Is she high? Maybe someone should look at her eMails, because that's a pretty fucked hypothetical. Just how do you get from an useless Business Model to Predators???
... I dedicate my weekends to getting really, impressively drunk and scaring my neighbors.
You too huh??? The other thing about that is I've simply stopped going around to the houses on my block and apologizing. I had half a socket set in my bed one Sunday morning, and I still don't know who I snagged it from.
About that whole hiring Nick Cannon thing - Radio Shack's still trying to get on board with the success Apple had with hiring Poets, Painters, and other such Bachelor of Arts holders, in the unemployment line, and the relatively decent success that Apple had using that business model. It might have just been coincidence as well, because I read somewhere that Steve Jobs was a real asshole... "My way or the UI line way."
