Isn't it about time we changed that line in The Star-Spangled Banner from: O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
I think my country, 'Tis of Thee, would be a better and more mellow place if we reverted to the original lyrics to the song..
Our problem is that too many fellow fucking Americans spend time looking for bogeymen instead of entwining the myrtle of Venus with Bacchus' vine.
Of course, political involvment is the more adequate approach to a political problem.
According to the US constitution, arms is the correct approach to governmental oppression.
But far be it for me to advocate the constitution, because that's illegal...
I'm not exactly against them catching criminals, but how often has someone receive shitty cell service and 'drops' because of these fake towers?
If they have caused just one 911 call to fail or be delayed, someone needs to be pilloried.
The end does not justify the means.
Not even having encryption on one's phone, like found in Apple's iPhone 6, prevents this interception.
WTF does this statement have to do in TFS? There cannot possibly be any slashdotters ignorant enough about technology to think that encryption of a device would have any impact on the radio signals?
I really miss
Indeed - the Turing test applies to fembots too.
And shouldn't be particularly hard anyhow - a good part of women fake excitement and orgasm pretty badly, and a good part of the rest just lie there anyhow, closing their eyes and thinking of England.
That's why I chose basic jobs, yes.
What could be more basic than sex?
I have verified. I am not on any RBLs as I mentioned in my original question.
How can you possibly state that? I have a blocklist here that I know for a fact that you haven't checked.
Unless you have a complete and exact list of all block lists that GMail, Yahoo and Microsoft use, your claim is without merit, and you come across as someone who shouldn't be running his own mail server due to proven ignorance. I.e. someone I recommend blocking.
Anyhow, you must be on one or more blocklists for your IP to be blocked. It's not like the mail server does a whois on your IP realtime and grep for Comcast. You just haven't identified which blocklist it is.
Unfortunately this is not the case. I tracked it down. The anti spam service blocks all cable company ip address blocks by default.
No, they don't. I send e-mail just fine through a cable company IP address. You have to make sure you're not on a residential IP block, and that you request removals from lists like Spamhaus PBL.
And don't forget apk - I'm sure he wants to explain that the best way of blocking entire TLDs is using hosts files...
Can someone explain what I'm looking at in the second picture?
Nice bokeh.
Strong passwords are not mandatory because it's the responsibility of the user to read the instructions and secure the device. If they don't, they have no reason to complain. It was their choice to disregard the instructions.
So everyone should be an expert on everything they use? That's bullshit.
Yes, it is. And bullshit you invented.
Reading the basic instructions does not an expert make.
I don't agree with you, but with the GP. The issue is "default passwords". When you buy a new lock, you're not expected to set your keys to a new value. They come with certain security already which is not "default".
Whenever I have bought a combination lock, I have had to change it.
With a cylinder lock, you have a hardware key - that's a big difference from a password or combination that you're supposed to remember.
A physical key can be implemented in internet devices too - no access unless you insert a USB fob, for example. But would people want that, and be willing to pay the premium for it?
People might be idiots for not understanding that the world is full of terrible people and they need to go out of their way to protect their privacy from criminals, but victim blaming and shaming especially after the fact is not right.
Why not? It doesn't absolve the terrible people from their deeds.
We need to shame those who have something to be ashamed of regardless of whether they're victims or not.
That someone became a victim is sad, but does not in any way mean we cannot criticize them like we can criticize non-victims. If two people don't lock their bikes, and one of them gets stolen, we should not only be able to criticize the guy who did not get his bike stolen. Whether he's a victim or not doesn't change whether he's an idiot.
