Maybe it's just poorly worded. It's twice as many cycles per sec., which I imagine sounds pretty scary to people who have no idea how EM radiation works, or even what it really is. Alpha and Beta radiation look damned near flat compared to the buzzsaw which is Gamma (and is scary).
Probably better not tell them about what bananas do to the Gamma radiation their bones emit, nor about those X-ray machines their dentists are irradiating them with, nor that they're getting a bigger dose from sleeping with each other than that X-ray machine's giving them.
Five minutes (filling out a warrant request) is eleven times as long as this used to take! That perp could be dropping his provider and signing up with another one in that time! Not only that, but this is multiplying the cost in cop time by eleven. Do you have any idea how much money that is? Cop time isn't free, you know? We wanted to buy more attack helicopters and drones. How do we do that when money's pouring through the cracks in the floor like this?
Bad Guys(TM) are getting away!
Sigh. This's just the latest in the CAFC's yearly follies. They appear to come up with some weird draconian demand every time they meet. No, it's not even a little annoying that we have to pay them to do this every time they meet.
I'd really like to know why New Zealand is objecting so strongly to Canada's dairy and meat marketing regimes. Canada has far fewer people living in it than a lot of much closer potential markets. That seems very suspicious to me, almost like somebody else's putting them up to it.
Their daughter has had cancer twice and the son got it after that.
That's a very sad story (and not just because I avoid Christmas). However I'm looking at a DVD called from Mark Wexler, "How To Live Forever", which includes an interview with "a 101 year old chain-smoking marathon runner."
People have differing susceptibility to certain medical conditions and phenomena. It's not like we actually understand what's going on here. Biology is an horrifically complicated science (which is why I've always tried to avoid it and leave it to others).
Blaming their problems on an apparent excessive use of electricity seems way too easy.
Radio waves don't cook your food (and therefore your body). Microwaves do.
I think if you look into it that both "radio" waves and "micro" waves are otherwise known as "electromagnetic radiation." Their only differences are where they fall within the EM spectrum, their amplitude (their strength, power or energy), and their duration.
Ninja, and who would run these trials? They are not cheap.
They ought to be cheap. Sit the kid in a chair, sit a technician in a chair behind him, and have that whole room surrounded by a Faraday cage. A WiFi transmitter in the room will transmit then not transmit randomly, and the technician will mark down responses to questions put to the kid, "WiFi on or off?"
That shouldn't take longer than a minute, though let it go on for an hour anyway since you're paying the technician.
In fact, for even more positive proof, don't even put a WiFi transmitter in the room. If the kid ever says it's on, well ...
... would render theft of laptops undesirable because of the risk that the stolen laptop would be a fancy brick for anyone without the owner password.
And, could quite possibly lead to the recovery of said laptop, when it's brought in for service, and perhaps even the arrest and prosecution of the thief. Gee, that'd almost be like crime prevention, yes?
Now what arguments could be made that DRM could be used to commit crimes?
Would that be like a large corporation which sold copies of its imaginary property and those copies came bundled with software which installed stealthily (unbeknownst to the new owner of that copy of the imaginary property and the device within which it was being used)? This behavior was not mentioned to the customer either before or after purchase time. This software is also well known to create an unsecurable security vulnerability.
Happily, some lucky (or prescient) users did not use the operating system on their devices which the corporation assumed they'd be using, so this subterfuge was discovered.
So, I started a campaign to report him and anyone with little enough sense to reply to him. Guess what? It WORKED.
Bravo, more power to ya, I'm not complaining. Have fun. Others may complain you're adding to the noise. I'm not. No skin off my nose. It's fun to watch.
2015 MPAA added the requirements to perform quarterly vuln scans of external IP ranges, secure any point to point connections by using dedicated, private connections and by using encryption. Additionally the requirement to implement baseline security requirements for WAN network infrastructure devices and services.
I've got to wonder how much of this Sony took seriously prior to their latest multi-terabyte hack. So, we should expend whoompteen yada yada to protect their stuff while they couldn't be bothered to even lock down their network from script-kiddies stealing their Imaginary Property nor their executives' emails discussing their valuable IP and their employee's PII?
Er? Hey! Why's anyone caring about doofus yammerers like them?
what the fuck are you idiots going on about? do you have any purpose? Are you just random generators?
You don't say what of what I wrote is not understood, you don't bother to quote what I wrote so I've no idea you've replied, you fling insults and epithets for what reason I don't know, and you wonder why I'm replying days/weeks later when I finally notice you're questioning points I've offered for you to think about.
I must assume you're twelve or *maybe* thirteen years old and are just trying to avoid doing your math homework. Do it buddy! It helps you to learn how to think. Yes, it feels difficult, but it's good for you. When you grow up, you'll thank your teachers for insisting you apply yourself to the problems we present to you for your consideration.
Do you actually believe we're surprised by ignorance such as you display? Grow up. Take your time. We'll all be richer from your efforts. Have fun! :-)
Do you know what else the report button is for? Abusive behavior. Just sayin'
I was about to mention this to him, but decided not to. None of my business. Frankly, I couldn't much care what windmills others choose to tilt against. None of my business either. *All* of this sound and fury's pretty easy to ignore.
I don't enjoy watching others fling epithets and insults at others who're merely attempting to discuss a situation, but again, still not really my business. I like to stand up to them and refuse them the right to intimidate others into quivering silence, but that's all I care about in the matter.
Bottom line: It's better to be thought a fool than to speak out and confirm the fact. Everybody (I think) is well aware of OoTB's agenda. So what if people (still!) insist on calling *it* out?
I also like to think of Mike looking on, as if Zeus on Mt. Olympus. "Should I do anything about this? Nah! Pick a side and fight, silly humans."
So what you're doing to me is every bit as pointless as replying to the King of Idiots in the first place.
Everybody should have a hobby. Anything that keeps people from lockin' and loadin' and heading down to [insert popular shoot 'em up meme here] is a good thing.
I don't mind you reporting them to death. We can still read them, and reply to them, and you can report both of us, and yourself too; everybody wins! :-)
Re: Re: Re: Re: here come the nitwits replying to the troll ...
Although he's right that giving the trolls here attention just makes them come back for more.
That's not true. They'll be back regardless of anything we do. They've an agenda to push, independent of facts, reality, or push-back.
It's possible (with some) to engage them and possibly draw them out. I did it just last week. Nothing's proved by it, but at least it keeps things honest. "I'm looking to hear your point of view assuming you have one. It appears you're just deflecting or lying. Prove I'm mistaken."
Nobody's forced to recognize their screeds, but it is wrong to allow them the big lie without any confronting of them. However, I am sympathetic to the idea it gets tedious seeing them pull the same boring arguments refuted years ago.
I'm going to exercise my own free will and use my report clicks for those who continually bitch about who other people choose to respond to.
Isn't it wonderful how everybody these days appear to have found their personal sacred cow, or is well on their way to finding it? It's like a golden age or something. Everybody's looking, everybody's finding, yet we appear to be suffering no shortage. In fact, they're multiplying, or coming out of the woodwork, or just spontaneously popping into existence.
Apparently nothing, until we can find a way to fix this ridiculous overreach. I wonder if UMG even knows what "universal" means; just a little ironic there. This is the opposite of that. It's Non-existent, no longer being monetized, slapped away because ContentID allows them to bully anyone they feel like. They're being allowed to ignore the law, and Google's YouTube is enabling that with their broken, unfairly rigged ContentID system.
Because when the first inevitable fatality occurs, that blood is on his head.
No, he's just one spoke in the wheel. He's just doing his job for his employer, selling drones. Very sneakily, kind of admirably in a twisted sort of way.
But on that day, he won't be pushing the button, he won't be the guy giving the okay, he won't be the guy who procures and deploys them, and he's only part of the "us" that lets them all get away with this. It'll be a team effort.
