wifi mode: lately my (rooted android) has been turning wifi on automatically, and randomly. I currently reside close to a busy street and wonder if it's b/c this stingray device (local pd has lots of $ and new cars...etc). this doesn't bother me too much b/c I don't think anything is private any longer, or ever was for that matter but I suspect it's going to backfire on them eventually and wonder how easily this technology will become available to the wrong people (assuming the police are the right people).

will these things stop police from crossing the line?

I only check when something goes awry.

My (frontier) plan was fine @ 1MBPS a few years ago, which (after other hidden fees) costs about $70. per month. This was force updated to me to get 3MBPS by them (without telling me) and raising my monthly bill to $90. When I called in to get answers (and request to be back on my signed 1MB plan they stated it wasn't available any longer. Even though I never actually use more than 750KBPS, and average 350KBPS all day long, seems like a huge money-grabbing scam to me. All I do is youtube, social media, google searches, and a few forums... no VPN, no need for anything more than 1MB but they forced a higher rate on me without actually getting me faster speeds... it just says I now have 3mbps (which it can spike at that...but if we monitor all the traffic, all the time (as gkrellm does) than you can easily see you're never getting those speeds from websites... it's just the "testing sites" allow a short lived spike, or "ping"s to make us all feel like happy sheep on a green knoll. to me, the problem is constant increases in billing, and less service, more advertisements, and a lower quality overall... however, If there is any ISP that provides 100% pure internet (no advertising), then I would gladly pay for it, again at 1MBPS (which is all I need (atm)). I don't know the future of connection fees, but

how difficult would it be for Rosetta to fire a flare behind itself (perhaps on the dark side) to take a better selfie? .............. it's that, or send up the lasers.

why will Facebook be releasing the drones ? is the title a typo?

I cannot stand any *untu but they're on the rigth track at least.

Perhaps you need the gene to find the gene?

they didn't protest @ the Redmond headquarters because most people in Redmond wouldn't care. Even if they did, few people would see the protests. the Microsoft headquarters is hugely supported by all their employees and after hours all you get are the black SUVs following you around if you venture too far around their boundaries. Besides, which building would you protest on the M.S.campus? It's nicely lit up, well groomed and clean (perfect skateboard tracks) but not a lot of public traffic. anyone in this area is either a M.S. employee or they are retired.

did he stumble upon the future plan(s) ? is his book too much like the base model for all control that we are facing, or are teachers just not allowed to write a book?

why don't we pool all the waste in an already contaminated area. since chernobyl is a dead city, can't we just mail it to them and leave it at the empty post office ? btw, that's supposed to be a bit of humor in a bit of realism.

agreed, this belongs on Redit or another similar place.

Are they selling them, or are they going to fire them off into space? seems to me that they would be best kept where they are, and the U.K. can still maintain them.

my phone stays in my cargo pockets, When lean over in a chair to fart, they should be able to hear that fart loud and clear. now lets see them try to figure out what i ate? I also take my phone in the laveratory with me, so they should also have great opertunity to hear some of splash-logs greatest hits.

I'm waiting for Eagles eyes to be properly cloned for humans. when that happens, i will switch out my bad eyes for some eagle ones... should take a few more weeks or months (sarcasm, since we have to state when we're doing it now, but it should be within a few years to be able to completely create a new eye from our own DNA).
