Assuming the existing companies will allow such a network to exist, what will we do with it?
The TPP is going to lock everything down, so our only choices are ultra-high speed access to what we already have on cable TV right now.
Is this alteration specific to self-signed appliances, like a NAS? Or would this bypass for all self-signed certificates?
Also, this sounds like a good thing to keep a record of, with regards to documenting changes in your about:config.
Looks like The Onion got this one wrong.
Experts: Ebola Vaccine At Least 50 White People Away
I suppose it's a commentary on the state of the world that The Onion is so often inadvertently right with their headlines.
I don't get adverts on Facebook? Nor do I get game requests, pokes or any other annoying thing that intrudes upon my idle time.
I installed the Facebook Purity browser extension, and all of that went away.
I now browse FB with no trouble, no bugging, none of the "Eat this and never diet again!" adverts that look like some kind of tropical disease. I also get a lot of hand customizations that give *me* far more control of Facebook than they're really happy with, which is why they had to change their page from "Facebook Purity", to "Fluff Busting" Purity.
I have noticed that it also blocks Facebook's third-party cookie system, meaning I can't comment on LiveFyre, Discus and other commenting systems on other sites. Annoying, but probably just a configuration issue I haven't figured out yet.
From Alien: Resurrection:
GEN. PEREZ: Elgyn, these were very, very hard to come by. *slides a stack of cash to Elgyn*
ELGYN: So was our cargo. You're, uh...not about to plead poverty on me, are you, General?
GEN. PEREZ: No. Just saying very few people deal in cash nowadays.
ELGYN: Just the ones don't like to keep business records. Yourself, for example.
Ex post facto ex parte: We think you're guilty of a crime, so we're going to kill you and come up with the justification later.
It's not that Google thinks that people are that insane?
They know for a fact that people are that ignorant of the danger. And they aren't going to do anything to dissuade people of that fact. Keeping the masses ignorant of the danger is how they've made so much money, and will continue to make so much money.
Because at the end of the day, if people have to choose between getting shiny new toys that will give them the delusion of being cool, or living without them, the majority will choose the shiny new toys. They can't help it, after all? It's actually a function of evolution: bird with the prettiest feathers gets the most mates and all that.
While I detest what they've done, I have to commend Google for subverting both common sense *and* evolution at the same time.
Toss those words and phrases around LBGT issues, and the masses flock to your church.
But try to use them around issues like privacy, surveillance and three-letter agencies, and you're as ignored as Richard Stallman.
Well, that depends on a few things?
1. What you plant.
2. Where you plant it.
3. Who your neighbors are, and your current relationship with them.
Plant the wrong kind, or plant it without a 3' deep root barrier, and you will quickly have a neighborhood war on your hands. Expand this to commercial levels of production, and you could make a lot of people very angry with you.
One thing is certain, though? Once you plant it, it is THERE for 15 years, at the very least. And you'll be exceptionally busy for every bit of those 15 years.
The crows have figured out how to deal with cane toads.
They started out by eating them alive, through the mouth, but figured out gutting them was easier.
Blackberries can be controlled, you just have to invest a little time. Basically? When you pick, tie a small ribbon on the branch you got it from. At the end of the growing season, cut out anything with a ribbon on it, because that vine will never produce fruit again, it will only become a "stringer", which spreads to produce more vines.
This way, the plant can be controlled and kept to one area. But again, you have to invest time, which not many people have a lot of these days.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
