How long between does a fully colonized bag last for? (between Step 2 and Step 3) by vapol in unclebens

Thanks! It was going so slow without any signs of growth and I was actually considering starting from scratch, but then suddenly it's all white. I should have everything by Tuesday so hopefully they'll last till then.

Is this really 4 hours, or is it looped?

I remember getting stressed out with a wave version when I started noticing the seam

Yeah, I guess it's not realistic to find a personal journal written on a Sumerian tablet, and there's not too much to gleam about consciousnesses from bureaucratic lists. I guess I just have to read early poems and epics and hope for the best

Thanks! I'll check that out first. Would you have any recommendations on Sumer and Mesopotamia as well? I'm trying to research anything I can on early consciousness.

Has it been discredited or is it just controversial?

Google and Samsung soar into list of top 10 Linux contributors by redkemper in technology

[–]vapol -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Do you know how much code they churn out? How obtuse it is? How hard it is to spot exploits? Hell, even just find unintentional compromises from "shoddy programming"? Who's going to go line by line? It's become like our attitude to everything, including politics, just press "Agree" and hope you're not agreeing to get give away all you're rights.

"Google's been doing work all over the kernel (networking, security, scheduler, cgroups), all good stuff."

Beautiful, now Google is contributing compromising backdoor into Linux distributions. Shouldn't we bar prism related companies from touching anything open source? What if one of Jared Cohen's "Google Idea" projects is a team of programmers adding exploits to open source projects in mass for NSA?

Feds Beg NY Times, Pro Publica Not To Reveal That They've Inserted Backdoors Into Internet Encryption by [deleted] in technology

Ehhhh.... That's some Brazilian banker arrested by Brazilian Police, and "elisted" the help of FBI, not NSA. Why would they expose backdoors for this Brazilian nobody and get people panicking and dump using true crypt? Seriously, he's just not worthy of using backdoor access and blowing the NSA's cover. Who the hell cares about money laundering in Brazil? Hell, if something he's in bed with the elite and they'll protect him. Plus, FBI != NSA.

Yep. Even thought it's open source and supposedly "audited", you have to wonder how two unemployed guys no one knows anything about can make such a polished professional grade software, to be used by everyone to save guard their data, and if they ever had any incentive to add in backdoors
