lol. How do you really feel about it?

Fever dreams are easy to come by.

Great. Imagine I sell a security product and I make a tidy sum telling you how secure that product is. Turns out, there's a security hole in my product that costs your company 100 million in lawsuits as customer data gets stolen via this hole. Now, you'd like to sue me on my claim on the basis that my security product was in fact, flawed.

How's that not about liability?

Remove lawyers from the composite picture. Is there any rational reason for a NDA in that case? If the answer is no, then in one way or another they are trying to limit liability by limiting the researcher's ability to be paid for their discovery and then communicating that to the wider world.

I think American Religious History IS for the most part, a Nonsensical Nightmare. The highlight was probably the Quakers, and the low points are the various cults which I'd say Mormonism is likely the more benevolent version of.

Therefore, I'd say Bioshock Infinite eschewing the particulars of that history and making it into what it ultimately did do concerning slavery and work in many places achieved something unique. Of course, it also did some things that believers did not do, unless they made a floating city powered by steampunk fans that I don't know anything about.

Cords are probably always going to be more stable than cordless for the simple reason that atmospheric conditions change whereas cables are shielded from such change.

This is a not widely documented Civil War phenomenon, but happens probably quite often without people knowing it since by definition, it is the ABSENCE of sound that has to be noticed.

Unless their job requirement is tied to their gender, I don't think being a trans person is listed as "legal fire-able offences" unless you can also be fired for being one gender or another.

Not being under subpoena is not to suggest that destroying these devices was motivated by a pure heart towards opsec security for the US.

A pioneer in assembly who deserves some recognition no doubt.

Sounds like somebody was looking for a scapegoat.

The proof is in the pudding as they say, but the idea appears to be exciting on the face of it!

I think human nature when something is young and exciting and offers possibility is to remember the beginning especially vividly since it is "new". Those moments always stand out to you later in the years when you have one of those "Holy shit, my life is now different because of this" instances.

The basic point is heard, though. When the net become more professional, it drained out all the "can do" from those who maybe were not stack (coldfusion,pearl,php?) experts. In the meantime, we have become a lot more distrusting of one another, mostly due to money.

What I notice and miss is the attention span to read what are "longer thoughts" and well-crafted writing which I think fosters better communication. Boring blogs can bring back writing partially to what it is meant to be--usually something that requires some kind of discipline rather like watching a flower at dawn slowly open its petals.

You can control your presentation of an identity and you can kill it. However, you cannot stop others from resurrecting it and remembering it. This is the lie of copyright.

In part because they do it for the love of the OS. Now if only they would support these "mongrel" video cards...

I'd say that this is about the same as being de-platformed. You could argue that also hurts your reputation, but that's usually hard to do since you don't have a platform to state as much upon.

The simple solution would be to make the debt hypothetically discharge-able again and to get the government bubble of money out of the picture of higher education. I suspect the market would mostly regulate itself at that point, but then you get into the whole "not equal opportunity" crap. I hate to say it, but it isn't equal now. You trade proportions of colors of students for everyone has a degree, no one has a job, and everyone is in debt.

The system is mostly pay to play. However, it is not really art that's the problem. It is the platform on which to display your art where things get complicated. It's rather like first have the talent to paint a Mona Lisa, then have the talent and time to shove it in everyone's face on social media in the hopes someone recognizes how great you are. In the meantime, crowdfund and keep track of all your accounts so the newly formed IRS gun mafia doesn't come knock on your door requesting your nothing.

No. The problem is greed. I'm not sure what fixes that, other than usually tragedy.

Great. Now apply it to all the other colleges who marketed themselves as money making for students and an "investment" only to saddle them with unforgivable student loan debt.

If I had any gold doubloons, I'd give you one for this answer.

Man interferes with Natural Course of River via engineering. Decides this was a bad idea. Solution? More engineering.

The West screws with water ways and goes dry. Solution? Screw with the Mississippi to send water out there where they screwed with water.

I think there are a lot of "hidden" things under people's feet like this, but it is especially neat when it is somewhere "far away".

An absolutely unnecessary sacrifice.

What would you suggest to make it better?

>I'm not going to start a discussion about whether the legal system is corrupt.

That's good, because that'd be very, very stupid.

>However, in this case, if the documents had been declassified, he would say that his lawyers have done so (this was an argument being made a few days ago, but it dried up because he hasn't confirmed that).

Kinda hard to do if part of what they took were documents concerning that, isn't it? You see the nature of the problem here, I hope.

That assumes that his lawyers have not, in fact, done so. The legal system is a corrupt disaster which is why the FBI is raiding and doing whatever it pleases. It has actually been doing this for a lot longer than now, it just so happens to be much more apparent now since they are overstepping themselves.

I'd say the National Security question is less of an issue than "If a president declassifies something who has the ability to say otherwise?"

Basically, it boils down to not recognizing the authority of a President of the United States as granted to him by the Constitution and other founding documents. That, if anything, is the National Security Question.

Ah, thanks. With all the weirdness going on, I wasn't sure we weren't talking immigration.

How does having the wrong passport color equal being kicked out?
