See this seems reasonable.. however I was once playing Battlefield Hardline raving about how awesome the camera's were for whatever I was doing and was then presented with security camera ads shortly after while browsing Facebook on my desktop. I have no interest or need for security cameras or even any reason to source information about them online. I double checked my web history and couldn't find anything related either, plus I had not had any conversations about cameras on Facebook. I remarked about how creepy it was over Team Speak and had 2 other people comment about similar experiences recently (at that time) as well. They claimed the only device they had near them was a phone at the time and the conversation was spontaneous.

So when did you choose to be (presumably) straight?

Have you considered a career in the NSA?

lol

Like passing retroactive bills so its "not illegal". (not saying this one is just that but they have done it in the past so the telcos didn't get sued I believe)

I think of it like a security expert trying to keep crackers out. No matter how fancy the security they'll be a hole some where forgotten or overlooked which will reveal at least something.

Who knows? Maybe our universe was created by the lowest bidder and cut corners to improve profits.

Viagra was not initially being developed as an erection pill it was a heart medication (I think) but turned out to be better at causing erections so they ran with that.

The internet? it really only took off late 90s early 00s.

Also I like how you discount a major change as if one pivot isn't good enough. Remember changes used to only happen every 100 years or so a while back and going back even further it was longer.

I was also the 314th person to watch it so google must be freezing the view count.

I can't remember where I read it (There were links I remember from 2 different places, one post was on HN about this but it was all hear say and rumors to grain of salt) that they want or are building a system like Watson to monitor internet traffic because currently they have so much information that its impossible to sift though it all.

Couldn't find it with a google, can't really remember any good key words, so the site may have been a bad source (probably) I don't remember. What I do remember about the article is how it was mentioned that it was a revival of a plan they tried to implement back after September 11, but the plan was leaked and there was enough public out rage the US congress squashed the plan. THAT I remember had reputable sources, I remember checking that out on google. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the project to get you an article.

Maybe someone who knows what I'm talking about (mainly the later) could link it?

Anyway we won't know what if anything extra they're doing until someone leaves and blabs about it in 20-30 years time.

While I wasn't sure how true that was, I did throw it in the realm of possibility because it sounded feasible.

But I wouldn't blame anyone for considering this more hear say and rumors. :)

Wouldn't the simpler system be if you fail a unit twice You've got to find the money yourself to pay for that unit.

Just hook the college results system up to the load provider and let their system keep track of it that way.

This is more or less how the government funding works in Australia, but saying that the costs of higher education are a lot lower.

Yeah, until they shutdown the server shortly after the next Sim City is released, making your old game unless. EA has a habit of doing things like that.

The Chinese government made a statement last year about MAD. It basically boiled down to their population being so large and spread out so far across china that they would still have a large enough population base to continue on past past the Armageddon to rebuild while everywhere else would suffer a lot higher casualty rates because a lot of the developed world is concentrated in large cities.

IIRC one of the main reasons MAD was a threat to the Russians was because they're populated centres are mostly in one area of the country.

Its all saber rattling regardless I guess, as china develops they'll be more so concentrated in cities like everyone else.
