Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Nothing can go wrong *click*...go wrong *click*...go wrong *click*...
In the case of cameras, tv’s, and other digital crap sometimes manual switches aren’t such a bad thing.
LOL. I have a little computer expert in my home — my 19 year old who lives, eats and breathes computers and is studying video gaming at a UC, that is how to design and program the games (easy for him because he already knows a lot of programming from self-study).
He’s told me many “funny” hacking stories and exactly what these hackers can do, which is just about everything you can imagine to breach your privacy.
He stays away from that aspect of programming because he knows the consequences — AND, he was raised to respect the privacy and rights of others and knows his dad would kill him if he did anything illegal online and were caught (because we’d never know unless he were caught) — that is if I didn’t take him out first!!

I for one welcome our SD card overlords. Had enough of the vinyl temperature and storage requirements. Plus the shuffle feature is manual and a real bitch to get just right.
Twelve days ago someone parked a hostage virus on our computer and did so via AVG. The hacker is demanding $300 to unlock the computer but there is no guarantee that will happen if the fee is paid. Furthermore, we can’t afford to pay; that is exactly the sum I try to make every month to be able to meet our bills.
I earn my living, tiny as it is, via selling on eBay and Craigslist. Without a computer I have no way to do business from home. The public library is 10 miles away and is unsatisfactory for maintaining my business which requires photos of items for sale.
We are now facing a cash-flow problem.
P.S.: What clams?
I just got a samsung smart tv and I didn’t see that it came with a camera? I better go look.
Yep. The Forbin project would be a far shorter book (and movie) if they provided an “off” switch.
Love that film.
Check with Bon of Babble, perhaps her kid can help?
An amazing coincidence.
There are several films that would be very short with even minimal preparation of the characters.
Cujo. Shotgun. Two minutes tops...
From day one, a bandaid got put over the lens of our two laptops that have video capability.
Hold on...I can tell you...
(j/k!)
Pay another hacker to trace this guy...sue him etc...
DARPA funds car hacking.
Hastings abruptly dies just before his planned release of DoD sensitive info.
Breitbart drops dead the day before a planned release of information threatening to the obama information.
The coroner drops dead the day Breitbart's autopsy results are released.
All amazing coinkiy-dinks...
I would use a Linux live disc and flash storage to mount the drive, copy what matters, wipe the drive.
Well, if by SD cards you are referring to MP3 files I would have to disagree. If on the other hand you are referring to CD quality wav files then yes they are superior.
It is a real shame how well MP3 quality has been accepted by the masses. Yes I know when storage was limited and expensive it filled a market. Unfortunately it seems to be dominating the market.
I love the sound and dynamic range of Theater Pipe Organs (lots of upbeat tunes, show tunes, and yes the occasional classical) and MP3 just falls flat.
I am not one of those idiots who fall for the oxygen filled wires or the latest made up sonic words but MP3, no thanks.
I might give them a leg up on vinyl which had been played about 10+ times. A virgin record still beats MP3 if we are only speaking about sound quality. Unfortunately, like most virgins, it is only one once.
