The funny thing is that these devices only make it easier for the state to record what you do. So preventing that is a good thing. It makes them a bit less powerful.

Beware of the Rosetta Rickrole!

Twitter feeds can be viewed via other websites. Take Wordpress (the software, not the site), which has numerous twitter plugins. You cannot block all individual sites that have these feeds. Turkey cannot prevent those sites from using twitter as long as those sites are hosted outside Turkey. I thought this was common practise in Iran and Libya and other countries that tried to block twitter since the revolutions in the islamic world.

Thanks! That was 25 years ago. I tried beer since then, but that doesn't work for me. I don't drink milk anymore, and if I still would I wouldn't like it with spicy food. What really works well for me is apple juice.

Thanks for explaining!

As a student I was invited to a dinner with friends. One of them would cook, and she had bought fresh peppers at the market. She lived in an appartment. While cooking, we fled to the balcony because we couldn't stand it. It was almost impossible to eat the dish. For every bite, I needed one glass of water, and after half a plate I gave up.

Today I don't mind eating a tea spoon of Sambal Ulek in one go, with a glass of water closeby, but I don't think that comes close to that dish.

Given the fact that a normal desktop PC cannot generate bitcoins in a reasonable amount of time, isn't it a given fact that we need another party to create or transfer those bitcoins? When another party creates those bitcoins for me, how can I be sure that they won't keep a copy for later use?

Your scenarios are way too complicated. It's simple as this: the boss didn't open the files in readonly mode.

Luckily they invented the fridge, and it didn't take too long before it all ended for them

The US invaded Iraq without UN approval and with false proof (remember the WMD) to "liberate" it. Now Russia does the same with Crimea, only the proof is much more valid, even if this poll was a complete farce. What's new?

Disclaimer: I'm EU citizen and totally against all this idiotic behavior. But let's be honest - the US has no moral standing in cases like this anymore, even if Obama is not to blame for Iraq. And the EU, well, they simply have no backbone in foreign policy.

That will be fun! This will only work if SSH is banned as well. That means they can only use Telnet. I'm all for it. Let them do this and let us have a good laugh! ;-)

You remember PEEK and POKE? What is this discussion about? Peeking and poking!
