You already carry a cellphone, I presume. Also, I am against most forms of gun control, being otherwise very liberal in my worldview. However, I cannot possibly understand why a developer would need to carry a gun at all times. You are inv

Mostly the same predictions as her article for 2013. Also, don't hover your mouse over an image while taking a screenshot.

What is your definition of "viable" as it relates to currency?

Craigslist is a wasteland of incredibly obvious, too good to be true scams. I'm still waiting to hear back from all those ladies who want all that NSA sex, and that guy in Rome that wanted to swap houses.

Still missed it. What's going on here?

Even if someone can successfully go "off the grid" never using a cellphone or computer, and paying for everything with cash you keep stuffed under your mattress, mentions of your name and images of you will inevitably appear in ot

If we're assuming that obscurity is close to irrelevant, what matters is that the cryptography method is sound. In which case, obscurity doesn't reduce security, but it is a waste of effort.

No one has mentioned cellphone camera/microphone. I assume it's feasible to do the same remote operation with those?

Right. The point being, if we're talking scientifically here, you can't just say that the machine was the issue and be done with it. What kind of machine was it? Was the machine emitting radiation? Was it emitting light? What

"it was stressing them out so much they were going crazy" An interesting theory, but one that they can't really say was the issue without a controlled experiment.

Just like the idea of "teach the controversy," giving legitimacy to ridiculous ideas gives the impression that either side is equally likely/valid. Really it just wastes people's time.

Of course there are differences, but I'm talking about the similarities. If you go around looking for signs, you will find them. Who/what was it that sent him that sign?

It is the express lack of correlation that makes up a superstition, so the opposite of what you're saying is true. I wasn't aware that "correlation" is a fancy science word, I guess it depends on your personal background

How is religion as superstition religious bashing? I'm talking about correlations, not morality or religious truth. The stay classy thing is overused.

"I’m superstitious, so one night I told myself, All right, if I win a game of hearts with less than 15 points, I’ll do it. I’d never scored that low in my life, so when I landed at 11 points, I thought it was a sign and decided to buy

I like how they say he "cheated" on the entrance exam to the NSA by stealing the questions and answers from their servers, as if that doesn't just make him more qualified for the job..

Looks hardcoded. How will I know when things have changed if I have to rely on them updating the site manually?

One day, we'll all be able to pore over our anyone's emails from the last 10 years from an NSA data leak posted on Piratebay. Employers, insurance companies, and ex/potential lovers will have a great time with that.

But not in the Matrix sense, as I was lead to believe from the title.

As a biker in NYC, police cars are the most dangerous thing on the road for you. They roll through red lights, never use blinkers, cut you off without looking, park in bike lanes, and occasionally just drive down one way streets. All this

As a natural skeptic, I would question whether this was really written "hours after" 9/11. Were we referring to it as "the 9/11 terrorist attack" just hours after? I don't know. The Illuminati invoking p

A togglable filter is a feature of the app. How come the article makes no mention of this?

There's a "Block offensive words" option that is checked on by default. Problem solved.

Normally with questions such as these you don't come up with a ridiculous claim and ask others to prove it for you.
