I always thought Cap and Iron Man should have been on the opposite sides. Tony Stark fighting for federal regulation of super people is pretty ridiculous.

Presumably, your emails are the property and responsibility of Google, but the conditions you agree to give you tacit and explicit, legal ownership over then. Nobody is stealing your emails or reading them. Your operating system absolutely needs to be able to detect programs and data on your local disk to function, and you absolutely don't have a right to use pirated software. 4775
Serious / Re: Are you okay with corporations data mining your personal information?« on: August 28, 2015, 08:33:51 PM »I don't really care. You demand interconnected services, fast and catered shopping and search results, and a highly personalized and dynamic experience, while expecting to retain control over that information. It's a fantasy. In order to provide these services, companies need databases, and those databases are populated with basic identity information and tons of metadata about users. 4776

We're talking about practices that go way beyond browsing history Read my post. It's not at all an invasion of privacy.

Serious / Re: Are you okay with corporations data mining your personal information?« on: August 28, 2015, 08:22:59 PM »The source code really has nothing to do with it. 10 is just a variation of the NT kernel, and I have no doubt it's capable of stealing all of that. But there's no evidence it's being done.You can't truly know the capabilities of software without the source code.

I think they're both missing the mark. People watch them not to experience the video game (though that may be a part of it) but to hear entertaining or insightful commentary. Nobody watches Pewdiepie because he's good at games (like the sports comparison). I agree with Kimmel in the sense that I don't find those things entertaining in the slightest, but his joke falls flat. 4786
Serious / How to Identify and Resist Cultural Appropriation« on: August 28, 2015, 04:16:08 PM »
http://www.pachamama.org/blog/how-to-identify-and-resist-cultural-appropriation
Quote A series of steps you may follow if you wish to be more mindful about cultural appropriation: So just a reminder: all cultures should be separate, respect is shown by isolation and prohibiting wear of cultural symbols, and it's okay to project your feeling of insecurity onto minorities because you assume they probably feel sad about things like that. Also, please cease wearing the following clothes immediately because they were influenced by other cultures: Boots, ties, peacoats, bomber jackets, t-shirts, tuxedos, and 8-point caps. Those are all from foreign militaries and they deserve to be kept culturally pure. Other items from various cultures include Uggs, denim jeans, cowboy hats, ponchos, Hawaiian shirts, berets, moccasins, and eye liner. For a more complete respect of cultures, please just stop wearing clothing, listening to music, watching television, enjoying art, or partaking of drugs. Because it's your job as a white American to think carefully about what you think is offensive to others. 4787

In the long run it would be harder for them to illegally buy rifles as they slowly fall out of circulation.-License to purchase a weapon that must be renewed every 5 yearsHow does this hinder criminals except through mild inconvenience? Literally none of this impacts which guns can be bought or even how easily. It just means they have to buy a safe and have a background check, which is very common already. 4790
