"Someone should make a FF extension that randomly ADDS traces of pornsite visits, fake cookies and inserted history, that way any evidence becomes null and void and you can contest any business firing you etcetera."
"Meanwhile in the 'free' west they can remotely activate your cellphone mic and listen to you not just in a taxi but in your very own living room, and other rooms too of course.
It seems comforting to see that the chinese apparently are using such old and out in the open methods."
"I'm not sure about your neck of the woods but the speeders thought up using bright LEDs, IR and other, to beat cameras for years, and in most countries having such installed in itself is an assured very considerable fine.
I'm guessing in the US they also made laws to punish such attempts years ago already.
(Oh and special reflective coating on plates against flash speedcams are also already outlawed everywhere.)
And I bet the crooks that use it to defeat shop-cameras during robberies will forget to turn them off outside and make a perfect target to spot by police choppers :)"
"I agree about the resolution, it's so oldfashioned even though they obviously have to be small screens with relatively for their size many pixels and I guess there's not a big enough market for those to be produced.
As for people asking what they are for, they are meant to be 3D and give the impression of a large screen."
"A little note to the naïve: the nuclear industry is actively keeping wikipedia articles on various reactors as reading 'nice and worry-free', that's clear to anybody with a slightly critical mind when they read the articles, so please don't try to quote wikipedia as a source for any design being foolproof and safe."
"The fact is that it CAN go wrong, even if the chance is small, any scientist will confirm that, and if it goes wrong that can be rather unfortunate and not be wiped from the public eye as if it never happened like the whitehouse e-mail logs.
And it's a bit childish to call someone insane just because he doesn't say what you want to hear, and equally silly to call someone that is retarded a genius because he does say what you want to hear (or to elect/re-elect them).
And of course that the guy makes mistakes in english doesn't prove much in itself, it might not be his native language, or he might just be bad at languages which as we all know is a separate part of the brain."
"Uhm, guys, the US constitution/bill of rights isn't the same as the human rights declaration and specifically the one of the EU you know.
(although there are some commonalities obviously)"
"To all those space-vacuum/laser people: you do realise 25% of the objects are not logged as being officially there due to secrecy and there's also a good number of non-american objects that if you 'cleaned' them up would start a space war, or at least a legitimate claim for damages and possible WTO fines."
"An updater is meant for updates, updates of the software you installed, and installing new or unwanted stuff is NOT an update and should not be done.
Incidentally, I selected 'no I do not want automatic updates' when I installed quicktime and lo an behold what do I discover?"
