If anything, it will 'get people talking'. I suspect the most powerful thing you could do, is end up with someone commenting in the media 'What's she wearing?' Problem is, if that happens? Now you'll have 1M o

Then you are left as I am, a house with no paintings, posters, wall decorations of any kind! All such things are clutter to me, and in fact, I even reject re-painting the walls. I fear that I will notice the room is smaller, after that coa

If it's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that if someone can, and there's any profit motive, they will. In terms of storing data? 20 years ago my VW recorded a great deal, as I discovered when the dealer'

What I don't get is, why hasn't anyone stated the obvious. Why do cars have location data stored onboard? Personal information? GPS data? I have a phone, which already has stupid levels of personal info in it. Who on Earth need

Silicon based live is not inhibited, via a brain derived by millions of years of layered, evolutionary change. Nor is it restricted to modes of thought derived from the same, including a world-view strongly locked into the environment our

You're all wrong . Wrong, I say! I once wore a baseball hat for a month, day in, day out, sleep, etc. However first, I ripped out the liner, and placed tinfoil inside, replacing the liner afterwards. I wanted to empirically test --

Amusingly, the vacuum pump in the picture (above this text, his right hand resting on it): -- Within his home, Jackson’s lab is quite extensive and he describes it as having too many parts to even write down! -- Looks precisely like the mod

If you can think if it, they can too. As Samsung is essentially hostile beyond belief, and has thrown away all pretense of 'helping', I'd say yes.

Disconnect may not be enough, best is to wire a resistor in place of the antenna, of the same resistance of the antenna, which will shed the attempt to use the antenna as heat. (I disconnected the antenna on my OnStar, yet found it still co

There are two reasons for the US/CAN difference. One is sometimes english/french or english/spanish manuals. These days though, most manuals are on CD, with tiny 20 language install manuals... so that differentiation is gone

Definitions of these things vary greatly in each country, but a 'non-profit' may sell things, where I am. What's important is that the 'selling of things' is targeted to 'recoup costs', not 'make prof

You don't need a catch all for that, just give unique email addresses to each, and edit /etc/aliases. NOTE: a few bits of info here, although someone mentioning ipchains means their comment is from an older time of course: -

Hey, great info. Unfortunately, you assert several things with your statement, which really are not true. Try again? Do you have a better jab? Maybe one that doesn't rely upon a comic, as your main argument?

Not only that insanity, but... you need a thing called "ID" these days. ID to fly. If you can fake ID, and you're on some list, why on Earth would you use the same name? And if you can't fake ID, then it will be linked
