It is very much a religious issue for many people.
Which is why religious people are free to not enter same sex relationships.

How do you think we can get through to the anti-vaxxers?
Unfortunately, I don't think anything will get through to them until their kids and loved ones start dying from very old and highly preventable diseases.
Their mindset is one much like the followers of creationism, etc where they believe that:
1) All scientists have been bought out by "big pharma" or
2) That the consensus among the scientific community is some kind of organized ploy to sell more and more drugs.
Because of this, no matter what scientists or public health officials say, they just plug their ears and go "LALALALALA".
Honestly, I wish Google and similar services would offer a "paid" version with no data mining or tracking. People forget that the awesome search engine, maps, etc. aren't a free resource, and their data is paying Google's bills.
You can do this partly with Google Apps, doesn't stop the tracking in Google Search though...
Until then, enjoy those summers off.
When I was working in the school districts, you didn't get the summer off, in fact, you got a _ton_ more work done because all of the teachers were out of your hair
Firefox has had its issues over the years but time and again it's proven to be the most stable, most user friendly browser over the long term.
I think I switched from Firefox to Chrome at around 2010. At that time, Firefox was definitely not the most stable or the fastest browser out there, chrome was.
Switching back hasn't really been something that I'm willing to invest the time in at the moment, as it's easy to just download chrome, log in, and then have all your extensions, bookmarks, etc. come back to you.
I understand Firefox does that now, but it still requires me to find extension equivalents and migrate the data which frankly isn't worth the time.
I don't think it's possible to make something "illegal tender", at least in the US.
They could always make it illegal to posses it, like illegal drugs. Though, I doubt it would go that far.
The problem with that is it's not "failing silently". The message is sending and the phone is just seen as off because it hasn't been disassociated with your Apple account.
Though, I'm sure there must be way to test for this...
> Dumb question: it's about the actions of the believers.
Except they aren't "believers".
They're just foodies that want better vegetables and cheese than your local "let them eat dirt" grocery chain will allow for.
They're just consumers in search of a better product.
The whole "believer" angle is just pure unadulterated nonsense.
Did you even read the rest of his post?
There is a file called documents/My Clippings.txt if I'm not mistaken. Some time ago, I wrote a simple program (kindleclip — https://github.com/gwolf/kindl... ) that presents you highlights, bookmarks and comments, allows you to search, either by book or by date. It's a GTK2 project built with Glade however, and I have not yet ported it to use current alternatives, but at least I believe the source to be quite readable/followable. Hope you find it useful.
^ This. While that may be a little cumbersome to sync it all, I think that's the best you'll probably get with the Kindle.
The person was clearly listing out multiple steps to take. Use Calibre (to manage your ebooks, maybe with plugins to strip DRM). Root your Kindle (to prevent it from communicating with Amazon in ways you don't control).
The person listed steps, yes. But failed to communicate what doing that would actually solve as his problem wasn't DRM or the device communicating with Amazon...
In many cases, it is the rich who live downtown near a subway and then won't have to pay a darn thing. Meanwhile, it is the poor and middle class who live in areas where you need a car. It's just not a moral cause to take transit. We'd all take transit if we lived near it and our work was near a stop as well and we could get there in a timely manner. It's just many people don't and so they drive.
Wouldn't this problem you mention be solved by more funding for transit?
Avoid custom domains for your login email address
Honestly, I don't think that would have helped. I doubt it's much harder to gain control of someone's gmail, yahoo or hotmail account if they are as motivated as it sounds like his attacker was.
Once you gain control of anyone's email account, even if the attacker doesn't have custom domains to hold for ransom, they could easily threaten bank accounts, etc etc.
The problem with this assumption is that Myspace's fall was a result of Facebook existing as its successor.
This.
I refused to use MySpace mostly due to the terrible "customization" that it allowed. I suspect that was the reason a lot of people switched over.
Considering how quick a misleading study by a top university could totally ruin their stock price, it was be stupid not to respond quickly.
The Starbucks app has much worse security problems; a photo of the 2D barcode cannot be revoked as a valid credential.
In the Starbucks app you can create a new card and then delete the old one. Or just go purchase another card and add it into the Starbucks app.
