You are correct, this isn't a case of exposing illegal activities, just unpopular one (from one prospective). These people need to learn that just because people don't agree doesn't make them evil or wrong, just different. Calling names, trying to get people "cancelled", and releasing their private information publicly in the hope that some harm will come to them is VILE and CHILDISH. You are a weapon of the Marxist/Globalists and are worse because you are a hypocrite, you pretend to be something that your action clearly indicate you're not.

Sorry, this may be a case of the source is corrupt therefore everything it says is suspect. I own an off-grid house and I would suggest that we should focus on smaller electrical distribution networks, instead of trying to make a large nation-wide grid system, which has too many single points of failure.

Most universities, are designed only to program the students and not teach them how to solve problems. This isn't new, the whole humanities and liberal arts programs are complete garbage with respect to academia, since they have been made subject to the ideology of the professor. I've experienced this directly attending a liberal arts university and majoring in a science field, my liberal arts professors distorted their field with their ideology, without any oversight by their seniors to ensure the quality of their scholarship.

Firefox (1982) was about Soviet jet that could (at least in part) take command from the pilot's thought; they just had to think in Russian. Also, if memory servers me correct, there was research being done along this path at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the 90s. Nice to see a profit motivated company pursuing this technology.

So did I miss the part where Obama created the exploit in the BIOS that these people are using? If not, then STFU and GTFO; god, I hate it when people post unrelated bull shit. Here is a question thought, who's BIOS was the code inserted, was it tested against non-PC BIOS? I'm just wondering if the same method would work against a Sun or Mac system.

When I was in school, cell phones (more like bag phones) were too expensive for children to have; however I did have a teacher that, if you had a watch with an alarm, and it went off in class, she would take it. Back then I thought that was over the top, but that isn't crap compared to this, calling the police, now that is over the top. If this were my student, the solution is very simple; first, ask her to stop and put it away, if she refused then ask her for the phone. If she refuses to hand it over then send her to the principal's office, and if she refuses to go, then have the principal remove her from class (that would usually include call parents, and in school suspension). If her behavior doesn't change, and the parents don't assist in solving the problem, then ban/expel her from school. At that point when she gets in trouble, the cops can arrest her (for whatever she is doing that's illegal) and her parents (for child neglect because they left their kid without supervision). The key thing is that the cops don't get called until a real crime has been committed.

I think, that the cost difference has more to do with the numbers being sold in that country. The USA prices reflect more customers buying the software so the price per unit can be dropped, in the case of Germany and Italy the software resellers don't have as large of a base as the USA. Maybe if there were resellers who were EU entity (as opposed to being a German or Italian company) and could market to all of the EU and treat it in the same way states are here, then the prices would probably be the same.
