Comment Re:The total storage capacity is 620 GB. (Score 1) 144

The practical reality in Washington at least is still:

A) Medical dispensary
B) Some guy in a certain area of the city

Because there are so few legal recreational stores, and the few legit growers are having trouble keeping up with demand.

There a few (illegal) delivery services that operate and anyone who smoked weed already has a connection.

Why would I leave my great connection to buy from a store? My dude is never out, has a few varieties.

Growers make more money selling to their normal connections then going legit. IMO they government got a little too greedy with all the taxes on it...

With a fire, people are brought together as a community. There is not enough light to go hunting or engage in any other practical activity, but there is enough light to communicate with gestures and facial expressions as well as verbally. So people will engage in conversation, assuming they're not engaged in some other nocturnal activity, but for all we know they were doing that in the dark before they had fire.

Comment Re:Flash and Silverlight (Score 1) 61

Flash and Silverlight, Adobe and Microsoft, again -- and again and again. Is it the year of the Linux Desktop yet?

Netflix requires sivlerlight. And, I suspect, 99% of the people out there with silverlight installed, only have it for netflix. I can't think of a single other reason I'd install it. And I specifically banned netflix in my house because of the silverlight requirement.

Well you don't need silverlight for thepiratebay.se

The NSA, with apparent approval from our gov't, spies on its own citizens with impunity, and let seem to be caught flat-footed by events unfolding the Middle East and Ukraine (at least from what I have heard on the radio)
The president twiddles his thumbs while our allies cry out for help.
What in three hells happened to our country?

Corporations bought it. And helping Ukraine and stopping the ISIS doesn't help bring profits to the shareholders.

Well, until it causes problems with oil, then suddenly we'll see a big need to go take them bad dudes down.

Comment Re:So-to-speak legal (Score 2) 418

Users who try to use anonymity, or cover themselves up on the internet, are usually doing things that aren’t so-to-speak legal.

They have no evidence of you doing anything illegal, they cannot prove that everyone using Tor is a criminal, but even the hint of suspicion is apparently enough for them to cancel your subscription. I must ask, however, if such behaviour is "so-to-speak legal?"

I'm surprised they haven't came after me for using a VPN.

Comment Re:I do not understand (Score 2, Informative) 53

If someone wants me to type in my account and then my password I won't

I really won't

Common sense tells me that no one has any right to demand me to type in my account name/number and then my password

That is why I do not understand why there _are_ people who are simply void of any common sense

Ain't there enough stories of scams already? Why can't those people learn _anything_ from the mistakes of others?

No where do they say they are asking for the steam account info. Fake raffle wants a username/email & password to sign up, then it installs a program that access your steam stuff. most people on their home computer either have steam running all the time and are logged in, or auto log in.

I do don't do twitch.tv and I don't bother signing up for online raffles or anything claiming i will win something, because that is stupid.

But yes, giving your account info out is very dumb, but I don't think that is the case here from the summary & article.

Comment Fucking Government doesn't care about US (Score 4, Funny) 73

I mean, seriously, wtf is the problem here. This is against the constitution. You know, the laws you the government is supposed to be holding. In fact, you are being called on it, Congress said Fuck you on this shit, the Senate is being slower on it, so that means it's okay to continue violating our rights for 90 more days?

Fuck you and fuck no!

I guess for the next 90 days, American citizens should ignore Federal Laws. I mean, if they want to play this way, we should play back.
