Yes, Mike Tyson is one of the fortunate few to have already gotten an implant.

Amazon already sells Prime phones. They are cheaper than unlocked phones, but with a locked bootloader, and with Amazon ads on the homescreen and lockscreen.

I could imagine their Prime phones now coming with free data.

I work in Healthcare, and they still love pagers here. I've been trying to get our security team to push to eliminate them, as they sent out in the clear.

From this article, following the release of pager records for 9/11.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/e...
Each digital pager is assigned a unique Channel Access Protocol code, or capcode, that tells it to pay attention to what immediately follows. In what amounts to a gentlemen's agreement, no encryption is used, and properly-designed pagers politely ignore what's not addressed to them.

But an electronic snoop lacking that same sense of etiquette might hook up a sufficiently sophisticated scanner to a Windows computer with lots of disk space -- and record, without much effort, gobs and gobs of over-the-air conversations.

You need to understand the relationship between voltage and current. Nuclear submarines use a 250 V battery pack as an emergency power source. That is capable of powering an emergency motor to move the boat, keeping the lights and critical systems on, and restarting the reactor in an emergency. Compared to your car and typical house, I would consider it quite "huge".

I had a job installing security systems many years ago. There was a grocery store in a slightly isolated area, it had an alarm hooked up with an outside siren and connected to the phone line. It was the 1980s, there were no cellular backups. The would be safe cracker pulled the outside siren off the wall with his vehicle and cut all of the phone lines, then he broke in and started working on the safe ignoring the inside siren. He had about $1000 worth of power tools in to the back office and started to drill the safe. He didn't count on the baker coming in early to get a start on the day. When the baker showed up, the robber bugged out the back door. He left behind all of his nice tools. He did cause the business some hardship, they couldn't access the contents of the safe for about 3 days until the locksmith could replace the parts he had ruined. Insurance paid to fix his safe and alarm system, after that they had their phone lines buried so they couldn't be cut as easily.

I was wondering when any former nukes would respond. I was a submarine nuke electrician. In the nuke world they can drop a dump truck full of knowledge on you quickly and most nukes can retain and use it. Also, the troubleshooting that I learned and used has really helped me. I use a loose version of the six step troubleshooting procedure I learned in "A" school when I approach a broken system.

It's more likely the meglomanical "because I said so" attitude, which can vary from ye'ol emperor with is invisible clothes to the tried and true "Shut up or else."

Most scholarships I have come across have involved certain race/sex/religious requirements and an essay. Academic records where usually secondary documentation, and frequently not required.

Life lesson to the young ones: Looking and acting the part is far more important than results. You get hired, accepted, etc... based on how much people feel they like you. Results are something they may or may not prioritize later on. And, hard work is cheap and plentiful in case slavery and the like was not enough of a clue for you.

You are better off working smart over hard when your own performance is necessary. And in general, if who does it is not important, you are better off learning how to get others to do the grunt work for you. Schooling is a bit of an oddity in that your own performance is being tested.

Congratulations on missing the point: Don't become the retard others keep claiming you are just to fit into their pigeon hole for you.

Although, in this case I suppose it's more a matter of one monkey gets his ass kicked, so he tries to kick the ass of someone even "lesser" than him. I'm not saying you are monkeys. It's just that the simpler variant of the similar protocol is easier to follow.

But, hey, if you want to keep rationalizing your own choices and garner kudos by disparaging others, go ahead. You are perfectly entitled to be subservient if you wish. That is a major component of normal social interaction.

Oh, and thank you for putting words in my mouth that have no business being there. I assume Tourette's is a mild and somewhat personal obsession of yours?

That said: Tourette's isn't unhealthy because you don't like nor understand what they say. Tourette's is unhealthy because the person with it is unable to suppress a maladaptive response to stimuli, basically the outburst, which may or may not be an objectionable word. The "bad words" are just what people harp on when they think of Tourette's because it is a mild taboo.

I doubt you are claiming intelligence is taboo, correct?

While I get the idea of social interaction breaking down between people with disparate social protocols, I am fairly certain that in the opinion of monkeys, we are socially retarded. It would certainly explain why they feel justified in throwing poo at us. It does not mean that they are, nor that we are; that's just a face saving ego trip.

That said, try not to internalize the negative opinions of others in an attempt to get them to accept you. I find that people of all intelligences will abuse that quirk of social conformity to try to out compete others, usually out of jealousy, occasionally out of malice.

...shame if something where to happen to it...

Maybe we should get the government to throw more money at the problem?
