    The EARN-IT Act

    Any of you guys remember that I have posted several times that, if Tech continues to dig their heals into the sand, and refuse to work with the government, to come up with good solutions to this encryption issue, that the government would come up with their own fix, and that we probably wouldn't...

    Cox wants to turn your home WiFi into a public hotspot.

    No arguing for but ..... "What if ?" The point being, it's a perfect out.

    Cox wants to turn your home WiFi into a public hotspot.

    Well, as in all things, we all have our own opinions. I have mine, I don't expect that you can't have your own.

    Cox wants to turn your home WiFi into a public hotspot.

    I do not believe that every time a new improved protocol is adopted that these companies jump right on it. I do believe that when that protocol becomes standard for the new equipment that they are deploying that it's what they go with, and that old equipment in service that doesn't support...

    Cox wants to turn your home WiFi into a public hotspot.

    Do you pay for access service? If so, Do you pay them for their equipment? If so, Do you not see an issue with them configuring the equipment you pay for to service other people at your cost? I suppose it's up to the individual. I suppose that people who are not out and about frequently...

    Cox wants to turn your home WiFi into a public hotspot.

    Smart, because on to of everything else you want to make sure your equipment supports improved transmission and data protocols. Why pay $80+ a month for access and use dated equipment that doesn't make the most of your service fees.

    4K, 60FPS Footage of New York City in 1911

    No, I don't think so at all. I think we have made much more out of things then we realize. Was everything equal, nope, were there issues, yup. Was it the worst humans have ever done to one another ? I don't think so at all. I remember growing up as a little kid, elementary school in Lubbock...

    New FAA drone rule is a giant middle finger to aviation hobbyists

    Navigation is though. Thunderbolt, time for a logic test; If the FAA is responsible for regulating all aircraft, and a football is an aircraft, then why are they not regulated by the FAA?

    New FAA drone rule is a giant middle finger to aviation hobbyists

    Your issue here is that you have not addressed this concept within the bounds of the definitions set up by the FAA regarding the relevant regulations. The definition you are citing incorporates other definitions that can't just be set aside for the convenience of your argument. The word navigate...

    New FAA drone rule is a giant middle finger to aviation hobbyists

    This has been my argument all along, Americans need to stop looking to the Federal Government to solve all their problems and disagreements. Enough people cried and moaned over perceived threats to their privacy, or used it as an excuse to piss off their neighbors or people at the beach, and the...

    New FAA drone rule is a giant middle finger to aviation hobbyists

    (Related to the referenced comment); Nope, that's not what I'm thinking, I'm thinking that the small aircraft part of this is just fine because those aircraft are being operated in uncontrolled airspace, airspace outside of air traffic controller control. Apples and oranges mate, I'm not...

    New FAA drone rule is a giant middle finger to aviation hobbyists

    Why do you say so? I disagree, on the one hand, saying that it's unenforceable doesn't stop the government for fucking with those that they catch, that will certainly happen. On the other hand, if you mean that you can't prevent people from violating this regulation then I will offer that laws...

    I own a Colt "Green Label" AR-15, actually I've owned two, I bought my first back in 1980 I think. I sold it, my dad had liked it, so my mom bought him one for x-mas, with the 4xs scope, by-pod, and .22 LR conversion kit. Now I have it. For those that don't know what they are here's a pic;

    The Army's Next-Generation Rifle Will Be "The iPhone of Lethality," Officials Say

    Although you are correct that the US has great influence over NATO, and that NATO adoption may not prevent the US from adopting a cartiridge against NATO objection, I think you are way off base on your tactics comment. Although it's true that in given situations, bring to bear novel weapons is a...

    The Army's Next-Generation Rifle Will Be "The iPhone of Lethality," Officials Say

    Overlooking all the sarcastic, even if deservedly so, remarks, first they have to convince the rest of NATO that all of NATO needs a new NATO cartridge for this small arms weapon class. Or.... the US decides fuck what NATO wants, they can follow, or go their own damned way, we don't care and...

    Google moving the data of its UK users to avoid strict EU privacy laws

    Wait wait wait, let's try a little critical thinking here. And I am replying to your post for this, but I'm not picking on you personally, it's just that I logged in, got to your post, and this is as good a place as any to interject. 1st, I think it's entirely reasonable that as the UK exits...

    Google moving the data of its UK users to avoid strict EU privacy laws

    I suppose that's one way to look at it. I suppose another is that any services that are not functional for EU customers will now be available to UK users.

    A mysterious deep space radio burst is sending signals to Earth every 16 days

    "My understanding was that they detected the pattern because someone looked at it with a new process." Rereading the article I can see where I probably misinterpreted the report. The bursts only last like 1/1000th of a second. How did we ever miss this before?

    FBI: Nation-state actors have breached the US

    outlaw "hacking" is far too general a term. Cyber Warfare certainly includes what most would call hacking. Where I am headed to with this, is that there is a difference between what was done to the Iranians with Stuxtnet, and the industrial espionage that the US accuses China of. I would hope...

    FBI: Nation-state actors have breached the US

    Let me re-phrase. If you are positing that the US makes policy decisions regarding it's activities based upon whether it will be popular with our competitors in the world, then I believe you place far more importance on it than our country's leadership does. Only the 5-Eyes countries are close...

    FBI: Nation-state actors have breached the US

    Really? You think the US cares about that bullshit? The US does not care about what another country thinks, and the US does not care about another country's claims about what we do or don't do. You are dreaming if you think so. Yes, the US is one of the most active hacking organizations in the...

    So, You are losing me here. I've made many Skyrim characters along different "themes" and I just play the game and use what I want my character to use and he gets better at what he's doing as he goes along.

    Elder Scrolls VI Release Date: Gameplay Locations and Infinitely Playable like Skyrim Features

    I couldn't play Morrowind, I mean it was just too bad for me to get into it. I think I picked it up too late so that newer titles made it look and feel bad. Had I gotten it sooner like on release, perhaps I would have been less judgemental and gotten into the story and therefore enjoyed the game...

    Contractor admits planting logic bombs in his software to ensure he’d get new work

    Except that this isn't really job security. It's an excuse for something that is inexcusable. What's more, it's "understanding attitudes" for dishonest unethical behavior that help these people justify their actions in their own minds. In my time in the Army, if I saw a soldier driving the...

    No, actually you are correct in that I did call your post out when you objected to another poster's implication that the man should be killed, or "cooked" as he put it. I replied that I wouldn't have a problem with it, that I would tend to be rather "draconian" about it. So you did call it right...
