The people with porn Tumblrs don't need to move, they just need an easy way to be found. Why not a retro, Yahoo-style directory? That's how lots of us found things before search engines got so good. Just start tumblrporn.com (lawyers permitting) and list all the blogs Yahoo doesn't want indexed, in categories. Sell ads. Profit!
As a person who actually USED Yahoo's original search engine, I think this is a wonderful idea, the law permitting, as you so wisely stated. And that it could actually be PROFITABLE as well is intriguing. BTW, you sig is both awesome and sadly totally correct.
I always love how people simultaneously believe that the NSA is so technically brilliant that it can collect and analyze every message sent by every random person on earth, but also so stupid that they name their secret backdoor key _NSAKEY.
No shit! I am laughing at most of the comments to this. Especially, those that think anything actually attached to the Internet is in any way secure from an agency like the NSA and DHS. ROFLMFAO The only system that's secured is off, in a safe at an undisclosed location. And today, you better hope you didn't tell yourself where that was because they might try to torture it out of you.
I agree totally. I worked for the NSA in their Army military arm (ASA) way back in the 1970s. The Motto on the wall, no lie, was "In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor." One cannot "secure" the internet unless it is taken "offline". Iran is doing just this in wake of their "worm" attacks on the nuclear facilities.
7) outlaw lobbyists
And how do you propose to do that without either 1) running afoul of the 1st amendment's "freedom to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" bit, or 2) passing an amendment to repeal parts of the 1st?
Not sure I am reading your right. But I don't believe "asking for handouts" that lobbyists to is tantamount to "free speech" for "redress of grievances", as you say. I could be wrong. Did not major in Poli Sci.
I actually feel like KDE and Gnome were the traitors, not me. If Windows 9 is anything like Windows 8 I'm going to have a huge problem.
You know the mantra: one good MS release, the next sucks balls, the next good, ad infinitum. So it goes
some people, yours truly included, prefer the lag-free typing that one gets on a decent-powered desktop app. I have always found lag while using online wordprocessors. They keyboard shortcuts that I use/want-to-use are not present, not properly implemented. There are other reasons. I want to use a stable 'decent' alternate solution which lets me work on the desktop with ease. Right now my choices are limited to LibreOffice and AbiWord/Gnumeric.
I prefer desktop/laptop too. Speed of response is important. I have not tried AbiWord/Gnumeric. Linux family? Have tried LibreOffice and while it is decent, do prefer OpenOffice more. Even used it when I had access to MS Office. More intuitive and even had a couple of tricks MS Office did not have. Granted, at extremes it might not be usable, but for most people and small businesses, it works well.
user education should be printed in all caps, bold, underlined, comic sans, etc...
At some point, unless we develop new algorithms that utterly break how current encryption algorithms behave (which I know I know, is a possibility... and of course the NSA has it already)... your weakest point is not going to be the computer. It's going to be the lackey at the front-desk happily letting a "tech" in (physically or electronically)
I would tend to agree. Many of the stories I have read, like the Iranian nuke plants getting infected with Stuxnet, were due to human engineering. Getting to stupid people inside to get access or keywords or geting them to insert an infected thumb drive into the wrong computer. Hard to work against that. People are lazy much of the time.
No.
I had looked into the Chromebook, as it is a good price. But once I saw it was a "cloud machine" with limited memory, I found many better deals elsewhere, including Google's only Nexus (if one can find one - they seem to be continually "sold out"). But I am confused why Google would do this. They already have Google Docs. Guess I am not up on it. This is "cloud only"? The new Pixel is just ridiculous. Sure the screen is good. I don't even LIKE Apple products. But the Airbook still seems to be a better deal at that price point.
I recently did a stint working for the police as a temp at the property and evidence warehouse. As one can understand, it is in no one's interest (besides the perpetrator, of course) for evidence to go missing. Therefore there are rigorous methods of accounting. But as a last step the ENTIRE WAREHOUSE (save the restrooms) are under video surveillance.
That is hardly an indictment of an Orwellian Britain, unless you find it evil that there are CCTV cameras in police stations and outside jewellery stores too.
Here's a free clue: you don't have a right to do what you like in those places. If you want to dress up as a rabbit and wank off to child porn, do it at home.
Not trying to speak to Britain, as I have no right. I know little about it. I understood my responsibilities. Just saying it is possible to have all under surveillance.
At some point after you die someone will throw the hard copy in the trash and delete the digital to make room for porn
