I don't know if it counts but the Philippines. -It used to be under US control formally if for only a little while, informally a long time.

They have the same problem China does and it's a smaller area, The most spoken language is Tagalog and even then
so many distance regional differences many can't talk to each other.

That's the way it was when I lived there; hitting the wikipedia it's much worse than I thought, as Tagalog has been replaced
with Filipino and English

Official status
Filipino is constitutionally designated as the national language of the Philippines and, along with English, one of two official languages.

I heard it as well...

When the culling comes I figure we're safe as we can "play the game".

Thanks for that!

Just recently saw a thermal compound with diamonds http://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Cooling-Diamond-Thermal-Compound/dp/B0042IEVD8 I didn't give it a second thought as someones always pushing a newer better compound. Guess I'll pick some up and give it a try.

Ever read the booklet (Installation instructions) that comes with the Intel CPUs? I did cause I wanted to know just what temperature the chip should run at? For my i7-950 the "internal ambient temperature should be at or below 38 C, this is maintained with the integration of of a Thermally Advantaged Chassis". :}

(The ambient temperature is measured at the inlet to the processor thermal solution)
-From my booklet, it's been changed and that entry removed so I can't link to it..

The stock Intel CPU cooler can't come close to maintaining that limit.

So you have 2.4 pounds, that extends 5" above the mother board, then more than likely it sits sideways.
That's a lot of stress on anything over a period of time. Moving your system at all increase the chance of spider cracks.

And my feelings over these type of coolers, I've always gone with an enclosed water cooling system
http://www.newegg.com/Water-Liquid-Cooling/SubCategory/ID-575?Tpk=water%20coolers

They are small, light weight and can remove a lot of heat Using a CORSAIR H50 (no longer being sold),
i7-950 chip at 4.4Ghz running OCCT for a hour and never got above 65 C

I now use a Thermaltake CLW0217 It keeps my system very cool. But I wouldn't recommend it to anybody, as it takes up
an entire USB header and requires Windows software to operate it (fan control). I just want it full on, so soon to be rewiring it that way.

Nothing they could do to me would come close, anywhere near what could of happened to me 40 years ago over marijuana in Texas.
After that anything is better.

I've been able admit it once before, I lived in Fairbanks Alaska when marijuana was legalized, nothing changed just an an option to alcohol for many.
Then to the lower 48 where it was illegal again.

So I've gone through the U.S legal swing on this marijuana thing,

Ah but the feds have blinked and said what is planned is good with them. The local paper said there will be 25 stores within
23 miles of me by next June. http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2013/09/04/2555938/state-sets-max-of-334-marijuana.html

It's something I wouldn't want asked, I've worked for the DOE before and didn't smoke as I could of lost my job, which payed well and enjoyable work.
I haven't smoked marijuana for a long time for that reason, I smoke the evil weed now, I eat the evil weed in cookies, I can enjoy marijuana once again.

Every account I have in under a different handle, each piece of mobile equipment is under a different
persona http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ I don't do social sites only because I don't care for them.

I've nothing to hide, it's just what I do. I was security conscious long before Gore gave the public access to the Internet.

Forte Agent mail reader lets you have multiple personalities, POP3ing Email from your other accounts.
-I don't care for online e-mail.

Google will catch up with you if you have multiple Gmail accounts; asking if you would like to combine
them and use your real full name Mr. Micky Mouse . I see this as an IP match and where the weak link is.

It's what I do, but not a fanatic about it, I know there are key phrases, and statements I'm prone to use
no matter the account.

Just use a HOSTS file it blocks most of your tracking and spam online, it's your E-mail address that screws you (spam wise),
I use https://spamgourmet.com/ for disposable Email addresses, many filter that address and don't allow it.
-A HOSTS file block tracking ie if you don't touch their site they don't know about you or your surfing habits.

Root (jailbreak) your mobile equipment so you can use a HOSTS file cause your phone/tablet has conversations with the trackers.
Google Play Store put a halt to programs that stopped that conversation, so you have to find your blockers elsewhere.

And always read ToS's and Privacy Policies, while they may not be telling you the truth they do list sites you need to block
if you use their service (tracking). Also one's with a hardcore we collect everything policy I've no use for (Angy Birds (rovio.com)).

Doesn't say they cracked a PGP Key, they "acquired" them.

FTA:

To get a key, you give it to them, they take you to court, they install malware. or mechanical key logger.

A PGP message has been cracked by using Distributed computing (think Folding@home) and lots of time.

But just that one message you would have to do the same thing all over again to another message even if from the same person.

Security is a strong PGP key kept safe and away from your PC, using a spare computer running DOS PGP version 2.6.Xg.
PGP commercial versions of course are useless.

Never under estimate the power of the press and what "they" want you to know and/or believe.

you have to keep your cookies.

This site has changed since I last visited (years?), it used to have a large list of companies you could select to opt out from.
Now it just reads your cookies, 33 companies are listed that "honor" your opt-outs.

I use a rather large HOSTS file and delete my cookies when my browser closes, so this site does me little good.
my results: "These 0 member companies have enabled Online Behavioral Ads for this web browser."

Do you smoke marijuana...

Interesting question and such a dilemma; one really doesn't know how to answer that question anymore.

Amazon is out of Washington state, one of two that have legalized marijuana when sold through the state itself (taxed).

I agree, being young has many advantages as opposed to being out of school and on your on for any length of time.

Many years ago my job required a Q clearance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_clearance (civilian equivalent of top secret with access to
nuclear material) as did everyone that worked there. While the plant had it's older operators it was a young group, many just out of high school
and their first job, managers still in their 20's.

I on the other hand had been around the block and had a history, it took me longer than most to get my clearance.

BTW: through the freedom of information act you can get what the FBI has on you, it's interesting to read what others had to say about you.

The book "The Hubble Wars" mentions all material one gets from using the Hubble can be held for a year before being released.
(So they can find the next big thing and not some computer geek using Photoshop, abbreviated term: /.'er)

This event is two/three years old, Guess different craft, different contracts for release.

Well for one it's become a 159,200 year commitment. No place to dispose of nuclear waste; the spent fuel has to be kept on location.

A developing story for the Fukushima nuclear plants are the weakening supports for the storage basins which holds their spent fuel.

In this area they are known as radiation whores.

To be "crapped up" is to have radiation of some sort on you (which you just wash off in a special area).
I'm sure it came from having $hit on you and it stuck.

Different areas, different terms.
