It's pretty typical of what you see in a news site running noscript. The big blocking portion of the page, not the crap underneath. I read a lot bouncing around a bunch of sites I've never heard of, but I don't run a lot of javascript. I used to use dev options to make the page readable, until I realized how few keystrokes it took to disable stylesheets. I've been reading a lot of vanilla html ever since. Remember when websites used to choose their sponsers? Those were better days.

The funny thing about targeted advertising is that I search for things I know nothing about, rather than things I'm interested in. So I get advertisements based on this or that which is related to something someone mentioned and I had no clue about until I googled it. The things I do have an interest in, I find information about from specific sources. Although, when it THINKS it knows what you're interested in, provides those ads as a replacement to one of the "one weird trick" ads. Oh, and as soon as we move to targeted ads on TV, expect to see one weird trick every episode, at a minimum.

My problem with the situation, is that the teachers didn't respond appropriately for EITHER. If it's a
bomb - evacuate school, call PD and FD don't touch or in any way fuck with the bomb.
clock - send kid on his merry way.
something I don't understand - confiscate the item, harass the child and send him to the police department in handcuffs(if they make them that small)

In fact, I don't recall ever watching a game on ESPN. It's all sports highlights. The previous day's games summarized into a 15 minute loop that plays all day long. I really don't see why they should charge $10 per customer per month. They seriously only produce 15 minutes worth of content, to use the term loosely, per day. How do you like my coverage of ESPN's coverage of anything. Did I mention they loop the same 15 minutes of highlights all day long?

Some form of crypto should be used for ALL digital transactions. The fact that when I make a purchase with my MasterCard provides the party that I'm paying enough information to continue making charges whenever they like absolutely infuriates me. It means I have to trust both the integrity as well as the security practices for every place where I use my card. If only we had a technology that could fit on a credit card that could digitally sign a transaction so that a register never sees the key. Maybe that kind of technology will be made available 10 years ago or so.

so 1) they already do sell things with retarded capability to consumers
2) the argument "we don't want the criminal element to know we have this kind of capability because they'll know how we find them" is invalid.
