"Hubble's primary mirror is 2.4 meters wide but weighs 828 kilograms. Not only would the telescope be light, but it would also be able to fix itself if struck by flying meteorites::
Meteorites don't fly and the Hubble hasn't been hit by many. Jupiter is it's protector
I have dreaded the day I'd have to log on to Facebook to lodge a complaint to a company.
Over 6 months ago. I followed it but didn't see it changing my diet anytime soon.

In the next computer run with different variables.
Again in response to the uproar, Google said this was the behaviour they wanted for Chrome and user should manually sign out of each and every website each and every time before closing Chrome.
Well I don't use Chrome, and always sign out of a site, if for nothing else to block a site's cookies (web beacons) from being active while surfing.
-cookies are deleted when I shut the browser down.
People should really expect this and disconnect everything when they're done.
All my monitors since the 90's have had a WebCam built in but I didn't buy any for that reason, and have always disabled the webcam by not supplying a USB cable for it's use. Only once have I ever used one and just for a few hours.
I have a Mic pluged in now for the POS BF4, and assume I can be heard at anytime. It's not Googles fault or Windows but Flash. I always have disabled flash's Webcam and Mic. Used to be it would reset after every update, then kept the settings, now there's list of prefered (by adobe) sites that I can block but I'd rather delete them - Flash hangs if I try even one.
Found a file GTBcheck.exe (GoogleToolBar) it's from updating Flash and it trying to install Chrome as well - awhile ago.
What about a Foo Fighter
The nonsense word "foo" emerged in popular culture during the early 1930s, first being used by cartoonist Bill Holman who peppered his Smokey Stover fireman cartoon strips with "foo" signs and puns.
Kool.
Not off subject a bit.
and if I could figure out the frequency of data transmission
LOL your not trying, Google: frequency finder
But then they could catch on and use a cell phone jammer http://hackedgadgets.com/2007/12/10/cell-phone-jamming/
I was in traffic court this week (normal part of driving for me) and noticed they had a jammer in use (keeps cell phones from ringing during court).

So you accepted that you have no freedom of speech and that's a tragedy.
The USA is now the USSR . No freedoms. Not even being able to write words without
a secret agent looking in what you say
It'sw fu***** horrible when you thinkk about it
This is a question too hard and reveling for me to answer, let alone make sense.
But do I expect my every message on the Internet to not only be read by others, but used to their benefit? Yes, www.TomsHardware.com is an good example. I'd never heard of them, but they kept popping up with old UseNet post of mine as first hits on Google searches. TomsHardware has thousands of my post made to look like I had posted them to their website. They pull in newsgroups and pass them off as their own, one being a group I frequented for years.
Sound security isn't based on trusting a name. Show us the source if you expect to be trusted. I don't understand how Zimmerman still doesn't get that.
Phil Zimmerman fought back as best he could, coming out with updates to PGP, as they kept charging him with something for years until one day they dropped all charges. Now MIT where you downloaded PGP from, I don't. I've still got PGP 2.6.2 g which was released years before MIT sold out to NSA.
If you have to trust someone for me it would be Phil Zimmerman, just as I do (cough) Google.
There may be a flaw in my thinking
The backdoors mentioned is old news and due to MIT. Now I don't trust cloud storage ( “Swiss cloud”).
Has there been a revelation that the NSA sends US data overseas to avoid the rules? I don't remember that revelation coming out, although I wouldn't put it past them.
While not on NSA this is what rovio.com does with the info they collect, it's in their ToS. Angry Birds being just one of their products. -note: I have them blocked at the router level and haven't read the ToS in over a year, they might of taken it out but it's what they do Their ToS also made me aware of Flurry.com (also blocked at the router level).
It was a common knowledge in the 80's that every Usenet/newsgroup went through NSA, whether it was read (flagged) depended upon key words. This included FidoNet and any other means of messaging.
There was a list that circulated with THE WORDS that would flag a message, they were few at the time and I only remember one, "nuclear". I live in the USA.
It's not a large leap to imagine text messages going through or collected via the Internet (storage) to be pulled in as well.
It taught me early that any post I make could show up on the front page of some newspaper. I also don't flame and very rarely cuss (more so in case my kids look me up). Bad grammar and all.
Amazon, with its immense resources, should be one of the cleanest hosts on
the planet. They can afford, using their spare change, to staff a 24x7 abuse desk
with very senior people. The budgetary impact wouldn't even be a blip. And with
the right people, suitably empowered, they could keep their operation nearly free of
malware, phishing, spam, and other forms of abuse. They're far better positioned
to do this than many smaller operations, who couldn't possibly afford it.
And I can't block Amazon, too much comes through their cloud.
Nor can I block deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com and a new one that's shown up sea09s01-in-f28.1e100.net both a caching services.
Had to laugh checking I found: unknown-68-142-253-x.yahoo.com; Whois had it, now I must block.
Name Server: ns5.yahoo.com
Name Server: ns1.yahoo.com
Name Server: ns4.yahoo.com
Name Server: ns3.yahoo.com
Name Server: ns2.yahoo.com
So many sites to block only so many will my system take, up until last month my Win7 had no problem with my 144173 line, 4.3K HOSTS file.
Now nothing but problems, yes the DNS client is disabled.
Looking at the subject line of the comments, this decision didn't go over well here...
I don't use XP, I like it; Only went to Win7 as Battle Field 3 required it or I'd still be using XP.
I'm sure there are more like me that didn't upgrade as they didn't have a reason.
I appreciate this as well for the fact that miniXP is being treated as public domain, and will be upgraded.
Linux excluded, for me the miniXP has overtaken a Win98 boot disk when it comes to Windows recovery software.
FWIW: Most of my USB pendrives will boot into a Win98 DOS window that will read and write to NTFS drives.

The real breakthrough was determining why one side of the formation is often longer than the other. They determined it was because there were more birds on one side. (Really? Who didn't know this?)
That is one of the better jokes...
Know why one side is longer than the other?
Why? they're interest really peaked.
Cause there more birds on that side.
Gets em every time,
(Really? Who didn't know this?)
I must run around with idiots
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
