It's a way to take the heat off the NSA and change the headlines in the paper.
The Government will give in
The statistics they produce will be massaged and cleansed
The public will get the figures
The Government will claim transparency
Case closed.
But will we or should we believe them?
No you are wrong.
Look at a map of Africa, then note all the straight lines used to show the borders of each country.
Note that there are an abnormal number of straight borders.
Now blame the colonial powers, France, UK, Belgium, Germany, Holland and Portugal.
They were the ones that arbitrarily drew the straight lines without any regard or consideration the the people of Africa.
Next blame all the despots that rule the African countries.
Don't blame the tribes or the mobile phone.
Actually no, It was a facetious (flippant) comment that crops up from time to time here.
You need to chill and put your less serious head on, and don't forget to watch out for someone sitting behind you with a desktop gaming rig the next time you sip your latte in Starbucks.
I despair I really do, where has the humour gone?
I'm not even going to downvote you because frankly it's not worth the effort.
Gosh I've just realised, you are American are you not, that explains it.
So other than being hacked without knowing about it by the NSA, you'd need to be in the vicinity of the person and their hotspot, load up your laptop or desktop that has top graphics card and then hang around for around an hour to crack the password having downloaded a dictionary.
However wouldn't using other symbols and numbers or none words make life a lot harder and negate the use of the dictionary?
Watch your back my friend, never ever joke about equality on here, there are too many wishy washy liberal lefty sandal wearing bearded tree huggers on here.
Rest assured that you will only encounter downvotes between the hours of 10.30am-3.30pm because that's when the Politically Correct Public Servants are at their desks surfing the web.
Why would you want to ask any questions about it?
It would be like watching England in the World Cup.
You start off full of hope and optimism.
Then you get ground into the dirt and spend the next few years dreaming of what could have been.
I'm off to the pub, there are better things to do with my time.
Not a spectacular looker, but on the face of it, it does look polished. Ok, so there are a few less features that an S4 but who uses them all anyway.
Not a bad effort if the battery stands up to abuse and use. My favourite hardware feature is the built in phone home to China chip. You'll always know where it is, brilliant.
The fact that the Sun is the most read paper in Britain in indicative of the of the education system which has been dumbed down over the past 40 years by successive left wing Governments with the collusion of the teaching profession, who instead of aspiring to be better, dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
Don't blame Murdoch for it, he's just the businessman who found a market for it.
An example was hearing a History teacher telling a class the evacuation from Dunkirk happened in WW1.
I love it too, judging by the negative reaction from Fandroids who insist on buying Samsung phones with features that scream at you but don't perform, the design has hit the spot.
The reaction is a barometer.
The greater the negative reaction from Fandroids is an indicator that the iPhone has hit the sweet spot again.
Jealous rage baby, jealous rage.
There is always someone who will jump onto the political correctness bandwagon, someone who will find offence in some comment or situation.
These are people who just go out of their way to find offence in some form or another without looking into the context of the situation.
While such things should never be condoned the rule of common sense should be applied, but unfortunately the PC thought police are now firmly established.
Yesterday I heard a woman speaking on Radio 4 who wanted to take the Bank of England to court for not having enough women represented on the back of bank notes. Her tone, the way she made her point did her no favours.
There are more important things to protest in this world.
NSA: hi GCHQ You might want to ask us if we have any information on Abdul Smith.
GCHQ: hi NSA, do you have any information on Abdul Smith?
NSA: Come to think of it, yes we do, would you like it?
GCHQ: yes please NSA.
10 minutes later.
NSA: hi GCHQ, do you have any information on Abdul Smith?
GCHQ: what a coincidence that you ask, we do, would you like it?
NSA: Now that would be fantastic GCHQ, yes please.
How to circumvent the safeguards.
Confused? They try to make you.
He's making a meal of it because he has no idea what will be announced, he has to fill in the white space with something, anything...
No point in speculating, Apple only 'leak' information for their own benefit, it's all choreographed. Don't ever thing the leaks are ever 'accidental', they play their cards close to their chest.
Let's just see what they come up with, there will be plenty to slag them off with on Monday.
I used to love fixing my old Alfa Romeo when I was 18, messing with twin carbs,, adding an Ansa exhaust alloy wheels. Getting it to go faster, making it louder.....
Then one day I wanted more comfort, a quieter car, got fed up with oil dripping on my drive, getting rid of rust....
I just wanted something that was quick, quiet, worked and was so reliable that I just needed it serviced once in a while.
That is the target market for the iPhone, it's for the 'been there done that and had a wild time, got a,career, a new car, a house, now I've got kids I want things to work and be frustration free' market.
I visited London last week, after a 20 year break and reminded myself why I left. Once you get to a certain age....... I don't need that kind od S*** any more.
Lets not be pedantic, if the Pi is really supposed to be a find it out for yourself kind of thing then you might as well ban any website that promotes a help page.
It's ridiculous to suggest there shouldn't be some kind of 'get you started help'.
When you learned to drive a car did someone hand you a set of keys and say, 'off you go, get on the roads and learn for yourself' or when you were at school did you teacher sit there (well one or two might have but weren't they di***) and say 'find your own learning material and choose a subject, learn it yourself.'
Show someone the way first.
