Erm, yeah right because of depleted uranium rounds and agent orange and using personal as lab rats in nuclear bomb tests and, well, you get the gist, where there's a profit in it for the military industrial complex. Safety and security often take a back seat, so far back in fact, when the military bus takes off they often get left way behind but yeah keep believing the military industrial complex public relations double speak for which they are truly well known.

A statue on world tour of Manning, Assange and Snowden, should also likely include some random figures of 'Anonymous' as a greater indicator of behind the scenes efforts. The nature of the statue should of course be as irritating and annoying as possible for those who oppose the ideals of freedom of information and the need for the electorate to have full access to the truth when it comes to actions of it's government as well as those corporations and organisations who have a major influence upon the actions of that government. Size would likely work well is this regard, perhaps cast metal might not be the best choice. An inflatable printed display could be made quite large and attract considerably more attention as it could be located in far more opportune temporary locations and of course in more than one location at once, just a reminder that we not only know where they live, we also live where they live.

Gotta be carefull there pardner, there's a huge difference between carrying arms and using arms. Just as you are not entitled to shoot your noisy neighbour, there are no laws that allow computer hacking except for policing agencies with warrants. Of course a denial of service attack is in this guise even worse, guilty until proven innocent based purely upon accusation based upon circumstantial evidence. Of course this really is about a specific level of public corruption where justice is blatant for sale to the highest campaign contributor and offshore account supplier, so major corporations are now actively publicly breaking laws because they know they can get away with it due to the current level of political corruption as lead by the US.

The way to 'force' a child to play the limited examples of games of the era in the order they came out is logically only offer the games to play in that order. The child carrying the genetics of the parent and as is the norm in humanity, will want to play the games and as a matter of historical record, children of early computer gaming eras did in fact enjoy playing the games. The big difference between earlier computer games and current computer games is the shift in focus from game play to graphics. So teaching early computer games focuses in on game play rather than being dazzled by graphics

Budget discussions should also cover whether this is revolving door funding, making it's way out of NASA to private for profit contractors faster than it made it's way in.

I have got the feeling that using high energy lasers on boats with the unpredictable reflective nature of the surface of the sea, waves and such, might not be the safest thing to do for anyone involved in those laser shenanigans. Perhaps a rethink might be in order or at least many damn good pairs of sunglasses for the crew of the vessel, crews of any nearby friendly vessels or planes or people on the shore. So what fraction of second for the partial reflection of a high energy laser is required to blind someone or in fact everybody looking in that general direction at the time.

Speaking of rich, I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head there. The problem with AI is not artificial intelligence but the natural psychopathic intelligence of the rich greedy idiots and what they try to do with AI and how dangerously destructive, unfortunately, that 'will' become. Let's fire people with expertise because they are too expensive and automate it because it is cheaper and one computer can replace tens of thousands of skilled professionals. Keep in mind professionals can make mistakes but it is some of them some of the time, when a computer or more specifically an AI makes a mistake it will repeat it infinitely.

So, 'Genius', what exactly is the fair market value of an unsafe structure, not property of course, never property, as the land is not in question, just the structure itself. Which had an originally engineered designed life, which the structures have already gone well past, taking into account 'Tax Depreciation Laws', which allows investors to depreciate the value of the structure over it's designed life. Often properties (structure and land) will be dumped by developers on slum landlords when the structures have past the engineered designed life because that is more profitable than demolishing them and rebuilding a new structure with it new engineered design life. Slum landlords will of course sit on them, avoid all maintenance costs, insure the crap out of them and hope they fall down in an earthquake or go up in flames (when it comes to the residence, meh, as long as the paid their rent right up to the very second they died).

No, that is completely illogical, you can not 'steal' an act. the act being keeping secrets. The people can still attempt to keep secrets, whether the succeed or fail is up to them, no one can steal it from them, so a perfectly unacceptable use of the word. Just like the public relations distortion of piracy, where copying something, is related to raiding a vessel at sea.

Perhaps this will help explain to you the reason why the noise in science fiction. Science fiction - the art of creating every single other genre of fiction writing within a reader appreciable science fiction schema. So what was once science fiction can in fact cease to be science fiction except as part of the historical record of fiction writing. Of course space pirates will always be space pirates, whether attacking ships in space or making raids on planets.

There is no easy and there is no hard, there is only the competition for the position. So are criminal misdemeanour's a block, only if, all things being equal, the person you compete against is as good and does not have a criminal history. Keep in mind when an employer rejects you, they are not working at constructively rejecting you so that you can improve your next job application, they are looking to safely (for themselves) and politely rejecting you for the simplest reasons possible. Criminal record is basically an easy out for rejection, the employer is still saying you are an acceptable person but company policy prevents them from accepting you, so a safe out for rejection.

Of course without stating the exact nature of the naughtiness and, the age at which it occurred, any judgement about employability or lack there of, remains pie in the sky. Basically it is all down to pluses or minuses, how much better is your skill set and recent employment history than you past criminal history and how does that compare to other people applying for the same position.

Proving skills is pretty easy in IT, do free stuff for FOSS (free open source software) because if you efforts are good enough you can quite readily gain public recognition by the people you most want to impress. So demonstrate skill by picking the most appropriate FOSS project and then start doing the hard grind to demonstrate your skills, not only will you practise you skills amongst peers who will help and instruct you but you will get to know the right people who will help you get a job or even employ you.

Seriously, we are comparing the effectiveness of public relation social media teams as if it 'fucking' means something, seriously what the fuck. People pointing to this, should be saying, why the fuck bother, it is all public relations bullshit, as completely total and utterly meaningless as it can be. Proof positive that tweeting on the internet has no greater value political than birds tweeting in a tree as certainly far less social value because at least the birds tweeting sounds good, well, most times.

This article should simply point out the completely pointless nature of twitter politically and socially, as those who make the best use of it, fucking pay others to do it, so twitter is more like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?... than this https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... How much more utterly pointless can communications fucking be when you are no longer listening to the actual person but are only listening to their PR=B$ teams, now, who the fuck are you really voting for!?

Now that is exactly what caused the problem. When he bought the company he though he also bought the writers and editors whose efforts created the company he bought. So those people who felt they had not been bought, felt more than a little disgruntled when the company they had created was being changed. This all ties to US celebrity worship, the owner of a company does not create the company, that is an ego feeding public relations lie, the people who do all the work at the company create the company, the owner just selected them and often did not even do that. So just like a snow ball rolling down the hill, the person who started the ball rolling did not make it huge ball of snow, additional snow, gravity and the hill did that, all the person did was initiate a very, very, small part of the process.

'Idiot' doesn't work like that at all. What happens is you just shift stresses in fault line to other locations 'BUILDING UP' to major quakes in those locations. The completely and utterly stupid idea that you can spend eternity chasing your own tail alleviating stresses in fault lines is just plain nuts. You do not remove the stresses, they are constant, you shift the focal point of stresses by failures at particular locations, at particular times, shifting those stresses to a new location, where major stresses could already exist, so quite readily a small quake can trigger a major quake.

The problem with fracking is the sheer number of wells, the indeterminate nature of the substrate they are attempting to turn into a high pressure soda fountain and the radiation of small, water permeable fractures both vertical and horizontal, with this action not carried out once but thousands of times in the targeted mining zone. Probabilities mean leaking into higher water tables is inevitable.

Oh yeah, you're pro-fracking alright.

Most likely behaviour here from the description is they are scattering information across to internet to script kiddies in order to create a flurry of activity which they can use to obscure the trail back to them for past and future actions.
