" Social networking " is an intelligence gathering tool under cover of being practical . All it does is gather data about you.
Cut off the umbilical.tying you to the secret services and police forces . Shut those accounts down , wipe the data out and never get fooled again by the Americans into trusting them with a single bit of data.

Yeah .. i know .. scary ...

Essential a super good voltmeter , 2 signal generators , a dusl input scope , a frequency counter and a lesser voltmeter , but still 4 digits.
I will pass along that i have a small secondary scope for audio work. It's called a DSO 201 , it's the sixe of a small player , has a decent probe . Goes to 1 mhz. The kit fits in a shirt pocket : note that if you have one check the upgrade to the 4.22 series firmware , it works a lot better. So for audio it all fits in my small case with the computer that is very convenient. For larger or more complex work , the good old textronix is still the one tool i go back to .I do mostly Audio/Visual and RF work. That's why i got two generators , one rf the other is audio. Good tools do good work. Never hesitate to put the money on a good tool , that applies to good testing equipment. The well constructed and calibrated instruments rule our benches.Calibrate often and keep em in good shape. Replace the leads often as they dry and crack and may become a danger after a number of years. Follow the first rule : use caution whenever you play in electronic/electric equipment . Safety First !

You should NEVER trust a cop. Period. Really.

all the more important that the do not call lists be enforced

Many will respond : because it's there .. I do not see the " future " in this .. first major accident that will happen and their business will be washed off and stamped out of existence , who will want to die for these individuals corporate profits ? they would need to pay ME big time for me to take the risks associated with this.
Astronauts knew it was dangerous and took a step for their Nation , Who will take a step for Bigelow's wallet ?
 

mmit massive amounts of capital and risk lives ..
let him be the first to risk it and then i might have respect , but risking someone's else's neck is nothing short of cowardice.
let him be his first passenger. then we talk .
Property rights on the Moon is totally moronic. It does not belong to a person or country , it belongs to humanity and as such noone should be making claims on it.
Use it , go visit , do what you want but never should the Moon be the property of an individual or organisations.

Quite a bit too late since the NSA already publishes ( and for a number of years ) their own security enhanced hardened linux.

I mean , the browsers allow all the tracking etc .. Once the people doing the browsers are done selling us , maybe we'll have a break.
Browsers have to be made not to allow the snooping. They are not made that way , they are made to support snooping.They are made to help advertisers take all they want from our machines.

Time to fork and abandon browsers that do not make the efforts to protect us l

Oh i thought it was more likely to go drinking :)

Time to fork Firefox and have a totally privacy minded browser , no advertisement , no user tracking possible and no third party cookies.
We need to be secure and free from the tyranny of advertisers and spying agencies. Time to make a browser that have OUR ( We the Users ) interests in mind.
It's time to make a fork and may the man who has the interests of the users in mind win .

Indeed nuclear plants are best left into the hands of Government which has nothing to gain not respecting the letter of the law rules regulations and contracts where private interests will ALWAYS try to shortchange , use sub spec materials , cut here and there till the stations are nothing but ticking time bombs.Nuclear in private hands is nothing but trouble worldwide.

We all know the Israeli secret services are total bastards , they killed Arafat spy on everyone etc .. We all know the NSA is again total bastards that stop at nothing. What we need to know is how to defeat them and pull the reins back in and get back in control of those gone rogue agencies that have respect for neither Constitution ,Law nor Country . The secret services play by a different set of rules .. you have the right to do everything , as long as you don't get caught .
They got caught , yet face none of the consequences. Game over. Total surveillance is now a reality and that's it. As long as noone marches in on the capitals around the world by the millions , why should they change anything ? Noone opposes . Thank you George Orwell ... but your warning ,in the end , changed nothing.
