So that's two ways. As you say, there are probably dozens more ways. You could remove the NOT operator and reverse the order of the THEN / ELSE clauses. Even if the THEN clause is empty, modern compilers will optimize it away during flow control analysis.
Comcast also pinky swears that it won't hurt one bit when they sneak in the middle of the night to harvest your and your family's vital organs. You authorized them to do so. Didn't you read the clause about 2/3 of the way through the agreement you signed? It's right there in fine print on page 223 of your service agreement. You authorize Comcast to harvest your and your family's vital organs unless your mobile phone company has already gotten them first.
Most presidents have a list of people who can potentially fill government roles, because, ta da, they actually had friends and contacts in their life before they became president.
You CAN stop almost any kind of march by arresting those participating in the march.
Similarly, you can stop the march of progress by arresting those participating in the march of progress. Ripping your CD onto a teeny device you can listen to while jogging? Get arrested. Cutting the cable cord to watch streaming internet? Get arrested. Etc.
Don't think it can happen? Our freedom can vanish more easily than we think.
FaceTwit could modify their systems to protect you. Your FaceTwit accounts are impossible to access from a GPS location, or an IP address known to belong to government spying (or local law enforcement).
Another possibility is if FaceTwit knew of the approximate times of your encounter with government spies, based on flight information, and it were to make your accounts inaccessible during that time.
All of this would be done by FaceTwit with no action on the part of the user.
In that case the cable giants have the wrong thinking.
They should be racing to abandon 20th century cable tv. Everything about it is a relic of a past millennium. Sliced and diced into channels on one axis and time slots on the other axis. Not on demand. A season is not released all at once so you can watch it all in a weekend. Bundles that force people to have deeply offensive programming such as ESPN.
Advertising overload. Not enough content. Poor quality content. Characters that walk out onto the content after a long string of ads, and obscure the content -- sometimes even IMPORTANT parts of the content that contribute to the plot.
You would think giant cable would be looking to move to the future and abandon the past as quickly as possible.
So is Criminal Productions supposed to be taken seriously? Is it intended as a self descriptive name of who and what they are, like Shysters, Inc. ?
It sounds like a name that Hollywood would come up with. Like, say, Hollywood Productions, but I suppose that name would some overlap in scope and meaning with Criminal Productions.
Re: I've had a increase in robo callers since wheeler left.
Do you have an Android phone? Does it have the Block Call or Report Spam options?
Go to your dialer. Go to the call log. Find the spam number (it's the most recent call right after you hang up on a spammer) Press and hold on that log entry, a popup menu appears. Pick Block Call or Report Spam.
After a few times, the calls start showing a red screen when the phone rings with a spam call. Then after continuing to report them as spam, they just stop completely.
Android has call blocking. And you can report spam calls. I can personally report that it has been quite effective at stopping spam and robo calls. When the feature first appeared, I started reporting those calls right after I hung up. It is quite simple to do, just a few clicks. Then the spam calls started showing up with a red screen when they rang. Then they just quit calling altogether.
I wonder if Android could have a capability to report spam voicemail messages in a similar way? Once enough people have reported the same message, from the same number, Google would block other people from getting the message at all.
Another idea: Google could introduce their own voicemail system, independent of your mobile phone carrier. Such a system would be optional for people to use. But it could offer mass deletion of spam messages by recognizing the same audio of the message, even if it comes from different phone numbers than those reported.

Just because it's not illegal doesn't make it the truth.
