Nice to see that the paper author reads Slashdot
Are these two options mutually exclusive?
You don't think when Columbus came to America he was afraid for his life? That most of the actions of the consequent European conquerers came from fear? That the safest course of action was the conquest, and oppression of an entire continent of people? The burning of the Mayan Codecs. The dividing and conquering of the Aztec, and Incan empires. Religious conversions. Enslavement. Genocide. And, where applicable, the conscious spreading of disease among Native Americans.
So you were using Bitlocker instead of EFS then, right?
Hmm, I use 5 banks on a regular basis. Carrying around 5 devices with me so I can check my bank accounts seems awfully inconvenient.
You already carry five of the six devices you'd need: five bank cards. The sixth device is a card reader.
Neither of the banks I use require me to use the card reader to log in, but both require it to actually do anything important (send money, etc).
I have two card readers (both banks sent me one) so I keep one at home and one at work.
There's a bunch of fallacies in that:
1) You don't need exotic types of propulsion. You just need a lot of time. We're likely a matter of a half dozen decades from molecular manufacturing, and substantially increasing lifespan. The two together are all that's needed for *us* to colonize the galaxy. (And if you doubt that, think of a list of problems with it, and then ask yourself what a mastery of genetics and molecular engineering would do for all of those problems.)
2) Ask yourself what reason we'd have, in that scenario, to need weapons any more potent than what we've got now. You assume the aliens would.
3) We rarely spot fairly large mile-plus asteroids before they actually pass us. What makes you think we could spot even MASSIVE spacecraft with any warning?
the impossibility for a Ugandan to obtain a credit card
Sorry, but in what weird society is a credit card an ideal over actually non-customer-raping alternatives?
Credit cards are by their very design made to fuck you over. There is no such thing as a credit card that doesn’t.
If you do digital payment, do it right. If you do money, do it right.
Hell, half the reason the US economy is so bad for people, is the money system behind it. For which credit cards — the concept of giving you imaginary money and taking back more than there is actual money, to get free work from you without you noticing ” are an essential part.
Credit cards? No thanks. I won’t ever in my life take a credit. And if I can, I’ll avoid imaginary money (e.g. €) altogether.
Wrong. SP2 still needs SATA drivers. Some of the OEM discs don't - Dell, for example, has integrated Intel SATA drivers with at least their SP3 discs.
LOL. Yeah, I like ambiguous humor that can be taken on at least a couple of levels.
That's why I "partitioned" that storage medium. On the first partition My wife has installed Volkswagen 2.0, which a lot like Apple products only does about 3 things, but she seems happy. However lately, she keeps making me format and re size the partition map so that she has more room, eventually I may have to use public storage to save things "in the cloud".
Well, some of us make sure to "forget" large chunks of our collections in our parents' garage every time we move (just make sure there's a gap of a few days between moving out from your old place and moving in to your new place, your parents will happily let you put your stuff in the garage "over the weekend"). And despite this sneaky move I still have a 10 m^2 storage room connected to my apartment that's a deathtrap due to all the stuff I've piled in there.
The only problem with my storage method is that I occasionally spend a few hours going through the pile I have at home only to realize that I left the Indigo^2 workstations in my parents' garage and I'll have to ask them to ship one to me.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
