So for all their sins, which include abuses such as embedding malware, unlawful tracking and spying as well as browse hijacking, plus the sheer annoyance of embedded video and flashing content -- the users who have opted out by installing Ad Blockers are the immoral ones. Then again -- rapists often blame their victims.

Hopefully enough to get these hearings to focus on something big like building a Long Term Space Habitat stationed at a lagrange point rather than sticking to what we know.

We all know Western Civilization has fallen to Fascism, so why not just come out and announce it? Why bother with these pieces of meaningless paper such as "Laws" and "Constitutions"? It's clear the rule of Law only applies to the Subjects, not the Wealthy or the Government. How about Marshall law? How about jackboots and arm bands and "show me your papers" and "up against the wall"? We're pretty much there anyway, but we all seem so intent on playing this bullshit game and pretending we still live in a free society.

When will someone just fucking go ahead and blink already????

Never mind - I found it myself. Short answer: either jailbreak the phone or give them your victim's iCloud credentials so they can trawl the backup files.

Say I want to spy on my kid. (I don't, but work with me here.) How would that software work? Short of jailbreaking the phone, I can't imagine what iPhone spyware would look like. Would said kid have a Spy On Me app that she'd need to run from time to time? Even keyboard replacement apps are somewhat vetted in what information they send to their vendors, and I don't think they have access to photos, email, or anything else but the keyboard.

First Rule of United Airlines Hack Club is that you don't tweet about United Airlines Hack Club Second Rule of United Airlines Hack Club is that you don't tweet about United Airlines Hack Club If you tweet about it we're gonna call the FBI

OK, I can go along with that. But I've happened across a few current die-hards, and I lump them in with Blackberry users and "the South will rise again!".

Son, it's about time we had a talk.

Can't afford a phone? Then maybe you don't DESERVE to be saved. Enough with the "Lefties" and their entitlements.

It says that they make reasonable inferences based on prior experience. It's just an email address, sure, but one associated with a service designed for "people not smart enough to be on the real Internet". For a long time, AOL didn't have Internet access at all, just keywords that took you to an internally hosted web page-like media view. It was generally understood that no one clever enough to grok the Internet would ever settle for constricting AOL access, so its usage came to connote cluelessness. By the time it opened up to the rest of the web, there were many viable local and national competitors.

OK, you're one of the handful of AOL users who picked it for non-clueless reasons. You can't be surprised that the rest of the world sees you as a tiny minority, though, and automatically assumes that @aol.com implies @i-dont-know-what-an-isp-is.net. I don't begrudge you your right to dig in your heels and resist. Hey, I had an Amiga for years after they stopped being cool - I get it! Shine on, crazy contrarian diamond! Your address may very well eventually come around to be hipster-cool and retro, and if so, congratulations! But if it doesn't, well, understand that you made the decision.

FWIW, Gmail's "Mail Fetcher" can be configured to pull mail out of non-Google accounts and into a Gmail inbox. You could start using Gmail today and not miss a single @aol.com email, then gradually transition over a period of days/weeks/years as the legacy email slows to a trickle. I don't personally use Gmail and I'm not trying to push you onto it. I just wanted to point out that you don't have to pick a flag day to switch from one email provider to another. If you decide to transition, it can be as quick or gradual as you feel like that day.

You agree that they are COMMITING CRIMES -- yet you call me petty and hateful and to shut the fuck up when these CORPORATE PERSONS face no ciminal charges, pay a fine they can just as well pass on the customer and GET TO KEEP the ill got gains? Do you realize this is standard operating procedure in the US? That time and time again the Corporate Persons commit crimes that NET THEM HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS IN PROFITS and pay only a Percentage in fines? It's clear you have missed the point that Corporations have to only estimate the amount of fines they will have to pay vs the amount of profit to gauge wether or not to engage in Ciminal Behavior and that the current Government all but codifies the Criminal behavior of Corporate Persons. Wake up dipshit -- we live in a Fascist Police State where you and I are the only ones who live under the "RULE OF LAW" and the Elite and Corporate Persons can do as they please as longs as they can pony up cash when they go too far.

If you are a Decision Maker you are the sole person with any ethical responsibility regarding the decisions you make. You, as a user are the sole party responsible for ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the Data Sets provided and to ensure that you understand how the software you use for your job works. Anyone who does not act on their own to proof their Data Sets and to completely understand how their Software works is acting negligently and is the sole party responsible for any issues that arise. It is not up to the Developer to do anything more than provide Software that produces output that is as accurate as possible. To demand they somehow be psychic, to know what the user thinks or do anything more than simply provide a tool for people to use is disingenuous and smacks as an attempt to allow incompetent managers to shed personal responsibility and blame others for their own failings.

Helping Corporations turn Crime into Billion Dollar Business Models. Can't wait to see what Amazing Verticals the Free Health Care Market comes up with.

Get yourself a cheap PC and install Squid on it, then configure all your browsers, etc. to use that as a proxy. Think of it as a huge, multi-user, multi-platform, multi-browser shared cache. If you find an interesting article on CNN and share it with your wife/roommate/dog, there's no need for them to re-download the entire thing. You can also switch from, say, Chrome to Firefox if a page doesn't render as expected and not have to refetch all of it. Once one person on your LAN fetches http://example.com/image.gif, you all get the benefit of having it stored on your own network.

This made a slow connection at a previous house almost tolerable. It's not a cure-all but I'd stake cash that you'd see a noticeable improvement in routine browsing.

Ohh FFS -- Astronaut Water? That would sell about as good as Astronaut Ice Cream -- remember that crap? Who buys that anymore? Whens the last time you saw anything "astronaut" related being "cool" or trendy?

Nrg2O, PowerWater, UltraDrizzle -- those are the names todays market requires -- names that evoke health, fitness and POWER, names that will get your average fat-fuck moron to scoot on over to their nearest Walmart and buy a case.
