Yea, Snowden is responsible. Because we never knew about phone monitoring before?? Glad the terrorists never watched the wire or any other police procedural going back to the 70's.

I on the other hand love it. I use Linux, Windows and OSX on a daily basis. I use an iPhone and an Android tablet. Each device has its purpose, and levels of trust, and a kowegeable buyer knows the strenghts and weaknesses of each platfo

Well, that, and the fact that you have a huge number of people that are going to try it for a bit, and then forget about it. I'd like to see the numbers over the next six months.

Oh, absolutely. Use Safari, never use chrome. And don't play games. If you watch video, only watch h.264. I've often gotten 2 full days of work without plugging it in.

This is a point that we do not yet have all the answers. Besides, we could easily stealth that shit out of that.

No, these structures would have started being built before we knew knew how to calculate volume. Our radio waves will not reach them for 1300 years. With the degradation of signal, and amplification of noise, we're not sure if what t

No it's not. Two words, Em drive. Seriously, we are infants in our scientific understanding of the universe and physics. You speak as if we have a clue. If we had proven unified theory of everything, then your argument wouldn't

It's almost as if you've never read historical journals of scientists saying silly things like "This obviously if the height of human achievement, we'll never possibly find anything better", over and over and over t

So we'll never abandon radio technology because everything can do it? That's not a very convincing reason.

When my great grandma was born, we didn't have flight, radar, lasers, radio, etc... Why would we think that a civilization capable of building massive space structures would be communicating in such a slow and imprecise way. The idea

Marijuana is great, I'm a fan for both recreation and medicinal. However, it is certainly addictive and If used regularly, you will become dependent on it. Depending on how much you need for pain relief, withdrawal can suck pretty ba

At one point, I required an obscene amount of opiates to function. If the pain was too steep, you would pop a breakthrough right away. The number of times I found myself sitting at my desk and wondering how I got there were too high.
