Some of them did. The people worst affected, particularly by unemployment, are the young ones who were only children or not even born when that stuff was going on.
The Greek government has a point. The only way out is for the Greek economy to reform and grow. Endless grinding austerity will just cause another revolution. The first one was peaceful, but if it fails the next one won't be. What do young, angry Greeks have to lose?
It was illegal at the time, but they quietly changed the law a few months ago to make it legal.
What an unfortunate name though, Cameron. Imagine being named after the act of shoving your tongue up someone's arse and cleaning it out. Possible even worse than that Santorum guy.
It's the media. When it was pointed out that Twitter informs users who are the subject of data access requests by the government they framed it as Twitter tipping off terrorists that they were being investigated. Not as Twitter protecting its users from over-use of surveillance and being transparent with them, but as colluding with the enemy. It was disgusting.
Also, what kind of bizarro definition of "socialist" implies wanting a surveillance state? If anything, the more socialist states in the EU tend to be the ones that have better protections for privacy and freedom because they understand that the government works FOR the people.
Tor isn't compromised, it's secure for what it does. Compromised end points are not something it is designed to protect against. It isn't a substitute for HTTPS or checking certificates. It doesn't stop you being an idiot and giving away your location or software on your computer leaking your real IP address. That's not what Tor is.
Also, passwords on zip files have actually been effective for over a decade now, when AES encryption was added. Zip file encryption is now actually quite good, covering both data and filenames, and using a secure hash to generate the AES key from your password. Essentially it is as strong as the password, and has been since V6.2.
Jean Charles de Menezes died because of botched surveillance. Many others have had their lives ruined, and we are all diminished by giving up your right to privacy. The "cure" is worse than the disease.
Sure, but Jobs was a quite unnecessarily big dick to pretty much everyone, including his own daughter and Woz. I mean, is parking in a disabled space and not having plates on your car really required to be successful?
Listen to his famous Stanford speech. "Stay foolish" is terrible advice. He was lucky, until he wasn't and his own advice to trust his gut/fate/karma instead of his doctor killed him. The whole speech is actually a classic example of the reality distortion field. Parts of it are demonstrably false, other bits clearly ridiculous, but his charisma and reputation carries it. So not only is he a dick to people around him, he's also a skilled and habitual bullshitter.
Note that I didn't say it was racist. I said it was embarrassing that it accidentally mimicked the behaviour of racists.
A person calls George W. Bush a monkey, and that's not racist or hurtful. Even though they're deliberately trying to be... racist and hurtful.
Technically he is an ape, but anyway... It's not racist because there is no historical racist context for calling while people monkeys, only black people. That's just the way history is. It's hurtful though, sure.
The kind of forced optimism that CEOs of startups often have to show is actually one of the things that causes depression. They have to live a lie, where they tell everyone that their shitty platform which does the same thing as five other shitty platforms is going to be the next Facebook.
How did the neighbours know it was you? You didn't leave Adult Toys R Us bags in your trash did you?
TFA has the wrong screenshot. This is the important one: http://cdn5.howtogeek.com/wp-c...
When you connect to the network there is a box that very clearly says "share network with my contacts". It could be a bit clearer, but it does at least make it obvious that the network details you are entering are going to be shared.
Japanese shinkansen (bullet train) drivers are required to follow written procedures in the event of any kind of anomaly, failure or emergency. They have a book in the cab with all the procedures, and are not allowed to follow them from memory, they have to read each instruction from the book, speak it out loud and follow it.
So far there have been no fatalities or serious injuries due to accidents on the shinkansen system, which has been operating since 1964 and carried billions of passengers.
Unfortunately, nuclear plants might be too complex for this sort of thing to work.
It's true, environmentalists are extremely effective at blocking development. That's why we don't have any coal power plants, no fracking, open pit strip mines, Hummers were banned etc.
A lot of commercial insurance has to be mandated by law, including insurance for nuclear plants in the US. Otherwise the company wouldn't bother, they would just create subsidiaries that take on all the risk and immediately shut down if they ever become liable for a big pay out, but funnel all the profits to the parent company.
Also, insurance for nuclear plants is literally priceless - no commercial insurer will offer it, so plants only pay for limited liability insurance and the government insures the rest at its own expense.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
