Do you get to listen to the radio at a reasonable volume during the work hours?

HAHA! Just joshin' ya. No, you need a mini fan, or put on some shorts that may hide your boner in case of the aforementioned ladies with less clothing during these warm months. Okay, my wisdom is imparted. Let us rejoice with some bikini pic tweets!

Pretty cute to house it in a child's toy when you can go to the hardware store and buy a universal garage door opener remote for $30 which already has all the codes you would need and instructions on how to open every brand. Then, to get the "loot" (broken things, my awesome gas-power mower, various motoring fluids, sweet Guitar Hero guitars and a drum set (that's got to be worth $8), other low-tech child's toys, a shitty ladder, a shitty mop, and some other really shitty stuff) you merely have to disguise your rape van to look like a laundry delivery service van(or NSA surveillance van, your choice) so you can do your nearby attack, in the middle of the daytime. Good luck with that!

There are some valuables inside the main house, but now you have to break in there too. Still, many folks consider this a viable option than to read some books, get some skills and make better money at a real job, but that's too hard. HAHAHAHAHA!!1! What dopes.

Because the owners of the aforementioned content fail to supply the consumer, who paid for said content, with a flexible manner in which to share said content via fair use to other devices.

All my content is from my own DVD, TV connection and friend's DVD libraries. And I fully support people who download shit for free from sites like the old pirate's bay. Why? Because the claim of "missed revenue" is a matter of complete bullshit. I have watched movies for free at other people's houses that I would never bother paying to see again. Did I just steal something? No, I didn't, even if I copy it, because I would have never paid for it in the first place. People like you are too black and white to see the real big picture of how a corporation wants to control how I used the products I purchased from them. THAT baffles me, guy. Now, Mr. RIAA or MPAA go make some shit movies for me to share with friends via a USB drive, pinhead

Submission + - US Bombs ISIS Command Center After 'Moron' Posts Selfie Online 1

Submitted by HughPickens.com
HughPickens.com writes: Brian Everstine writes at Air Force Times that US intelligence officers were able to locate and bomb an Islamic State command center based on a photo and comments in social media. "The [airmen are] combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command," said Gen. Hawk Carlisle, commander of Air Combat Command. "And in some social media, open forum, bragging about command and control capabilities for Da'esh, ISIL, And these guys go 'ah, we got an in.' So they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three JDAMS take that entire building out. Through social media. It was a post on social media. Bombs on target in 22 hours."

Carlisle was careful to not go into great detail about the how the information was gathered and what additional effort went into targeting those bombs. It's easy to imagine that in addition to the information gleaned from the initial post that the Air Force used satellite and drone reconnaissance data. It's also possible that US intelligence could have actively engaged with the original poster in order to draw out information. Attackers and researchers have shown time and time again that simply asking a target for information—either by posing as a trusted individual or using carefully created phishing attacks—works even better than fancy information-stealing digital attacks.

The compromised information was related to security clearances and employee records. Using new tools, the breach was discovered in April. The agency's director said, "Protecting our federal employee data from malicious cyber incidents is of the highest priority at [Office of Personnel Management]."

Lauren Weinstein writes: Finally! There's something that apparently virtually all governments around the world can actually agree upon. Unfortunately, it's on par conceptually with handing out hydrogen bombs as lottery prizes.

If the drumbeat isn't actually coordinated, it might as well be. Around the world, in testimony before national legislatures and in countless interviews with media, government officials and their surrogates are proclaiming the immediate need to "do something" about encryption that law enforcement and other government agencies can't read on demand.

Make that a RPi 2, not the 1 series, which I have two of the little beasties. They're so much fun to futz with! Anyway, I'm not sure why they are porting Win to RPi, since it already comes with a very nice OS that is highly customizable and extendable, and generally several other flavors to boot from, if Raspbian is not what you need for your project. Using the bulk of the horsepower of this little guy for propping up a giant monolithic kernel's GUI such as Win10 might be a lot of wasted cycles to just make the Aero function. Or whatever they call it now. Now, if you could run it headless and get some DOS action down below, then I could see the value for the Windows-savvy folks doing their thing on the software side of this little project system to interface with the GPIOs and other sweet interfaces on RPi. Still, good for them to port it anyway, if just to say mee too. More RPis sold means more support, and that's good for the RPi community at large.

The rest must go, and as such, Yahoo today has announced some things it is getting rid of. For starters, the company is doing away with maps.yahoo.com (a.k.a. Yahoo Maps) at the end of June. Though maps will live on within Yahoo search and Flickr in some fashion. "We made this decision to better align resources to Yahoo's priorities as our business has evolved since we first launched Yahoo Maps eight years ago."
