Canada is a "five eyes" country. I expect the same from the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. They and the US work quite closely in the world of intelligence.

Why the hell would I want to give your wife the ability to erase my phone?

To remove the evidence?

I can only say anyone but GoDaddy.

Somebody shoot the zombie in the head!

Could we stop having Dice articles submitted by Nerval's Lobster? Why not fully disclose that the story was submitted by the corporate parent of Slashdot?

The Euro is imploding...not Europe. I am sure they will pull themselves out of their economic slump and be fine. I figure European countries are a better model...the US is only 350 years old...most of the European countries have survived over a millenia.

didn't they think it odd to address their emails to the Secretary of State at pantsuit@hillary2016.org?

No...because they were sending them to pantsuit2016@gmail.com . Everyone uses Gmail these days...

Anyone else find it a little disturbing there's a chemical weapons magazine?

No, not really. It's the nuclear weapons magazine that I'm really concerned about...

So you could say the fish was caught?

Same here...I'm also the father of all girls. They dress up as princesses, just as easily as they do science experiments, assemble a PC, or do math. Being a princess and "girly" is not mutually exclusive to being smart and independent.

Yes, in fact, they have an API for this. Many sites use it like instantwatcher.com. Seems easier to just get an agreement written up with the streaming companies to provide the raw data.

You mean we're supposed to read the articles now...?

I guess that is achievable when your population is flatlining and possibly about to decline.

Weaponized Powerpoint files? Sounds like the average management meeting around here...

It's not THAT remote (my cellphone worked as of end of last year there). We tourists tend to pass through Pahoa on the way down for the tours hiking across the lava fields or taking the boats out to the old lava egress points on the ocean. Need highway 130 for that...should this lava bisect the town, it is going to hurt the volcano tourism industry significantly Pahoa also is the last place for a pitstop or some food on the way south too.
