>Because they originally turned iMessage on.
Completely erase your iphone and set it back up.
Setting up iMessage is one of the first 'default' screens that you come to in the processes. As in put your user and pass here with a little skip option on the bottom of the screen. They didn't explicitly find the setting and turn it on. It presents itself in a manner that leads the user to believe that it must be turned on.
NAT is not a firewall. Lets repeat NAT is not a firewall.
User controlled functions such as UPNP make is even less of one.
NAT does prevent first time outside access, but nothing beyond that.
Look at this scenario.
You visit http://hack.ed/. It launches a flash exploit that gets admin privileges. As admin it launches a UPNP function to allow port 40,000 to your internal IP. The rest of the world now has access to your computer as if it were directly connected.
Now if your NAT also has UPNP turned off and/or also contains a firewall that prevents NEW connections to any computer behind it, yes it a NAT enabled firewall.
I thought that was the Soylent Green bin?

The document indicates the passenger tracking operation was a trial run of a powerful new software program CSEC was developing with help from its U.S. counterpart, the National Security Agency. In the document, CSEC called the new technologies "game-changing," and said they could be used for tracking "any target that makes occasional forays into other cities/regions."
The CBC notes early in the article that the spy agency:
is supposed to be collecting primarily foreign intelligence by intercepting overseas phone and internet traffic, and is prohibited by law from targeting Canadians or anyone in Canada without a judicial warrant.
Predictably, CSEC's chief is quoted saying that they aren't allowed to spy on Canadians, so therefore they don't. As observed by experts consulted for the story, that claim is equivalent to saying that they collect the data but we're to trust that they don't look at it.
It's not about the storage, it's all about the index lookup speeds.
>The 2012 US election turnout was around 58%
What is the turnout in the primaries? People don't understand that voting in the final election is the least powerful vote they can cast. Power is in the primaries.
>Sorry, but modern browsers don't really address that.
Yes, they do, but so few servers use it yet that it's still a problem.
The issue isn't the median, it's the mean. 1% hold 90% of the wealth and wealth is the determining factor in the power of elections, even in a democracy. People do vote against their interest all the time. Monied lobbies spend millions and millions convincing them to do so. At that point failure to allocate resources is guaranteed. Trying to say deregulation and war is not related to technology is asinine when war and regulations have always been hosted by the people controlling the best technology.
Lets talk statistics.
When people get educated, they have less children.
When people have lots of other entertainment options they have less children.
When people make above median income they have less children.
When people are subjected to 'good' sexual education they have less children.
When people live in poverty they have more children.
When people are uneducated they have more children.
When peoples income limits their entertainment options, they have more chidren.
When people do not have good sexual education provided, they have more children.
It's almost like personal responsibility has not a goddamned thing to do with it.
Oh, and the 5 kids on welfare thing is pretty much a myth. Only a very small percentage of households are over 4 people on welfare (like 2%). As for quit blaming the system, If I followed you around, I'd bet I'd watch you blame the 'system' 10 times a day on shit that is out of your control.
> I am simply pointing out that because people are being told how to sign up is NOT the problem.
No, the problem is minimum wage is too low, that insurance is tided to the job you have, and that long term joblessness is an ever increasing problem in our country. Where I do blame many of the big corporations is the amount of effort they expend in fighting minimum wage increases.
A second word negates your first word.
Waterproofing.
Just add slight coating of durable paraffin wax.
>So we've doubled the amount of money we spend on food stamps and we have record numbers of Americans that rely on the government for their food.
Have you tried to reword that in the correct fashion?
We have record numbers of Americans that rely on the government for their food and have doubled the amount of money we spend on food stamps.
You also neglect that most of the people on food stamps ALSO HAVE A JOB.
You also neglect that the average household size on foodstamps is 2 and only a very small percentage of foodstamps households are over 4.
I'd go on debunking the rest of your 'talking points', but I'm not going to convince you of your ignorance on the matter, and you're not going to do any research to enlighten yourself on the matter.
It is unfortunate that people as clueless as you are vote, because I thought you wanted to reduce the cost of the program, not increase it.
