A different kind of groove all together, yet also awesome:

And then of course there's Deee-lite. Fronted by one of the most delicious females ever to walk on a stage.

Ooooooooh yeaaaa. Sade. Excellent choice. Groove runs the gambit and is a very subjective genre, though it opens the doors to sooooooo much good music. Here's another powerful aphrodisiac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDo-Z0DQ00Q And here's one of my all time favorite instrumental grooves, which also happens to hail from an awesome movie, that also happened to be the first partnership between Silvestri and Zemeckis on a film:

So? What language is your first language that doesn't use punctuation, proper spacing, capitalization, etc. These things are generally not language specific. I can appreciate some syntax, definition, or 'lost in translation' errors in anyone posting in a second language, but basic paragraph formation errors on the scale you subject us to I have no patience for. **** me? Grow up. Stop making piss poor excuses that really have no relevance to your failure and type/write legibly if you want people to read your posts or to not have Weird Al's video follow your illegible drivel. Learn from it. Dance. -
One person's crazy is another person's normal. Most people are crazy, so yea... crazy is normal.

82 guest users reading this thread as of this posting. I'll wager near 80 of them got here by searching for "Nude Photos: Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Yvonne Strahovski", or some similar term.

So... does this mean the very act of me simply seeing a naked woman without her explicit consent (say her top pops off at a pool) I am immediately a sex offender who molested her? Yes, you filthy Sub-Human. Repent for the sin of being male. In the minds of folks such as Bruce, other modern feminists, and the manginas who apologize for them, yes. Really, equating the theft and proliferation of nude photos to sexual abuse or rape is abhorrently despicable. and either a warped mind incapable of true differentiation is required or a sinister mind with an evil agenda. Saying that doing so belittles those who actually have suffered abuse or rape is a polite understatement. One of the major problems in western society is that as a culture we've come to tolerate this destructive nonsense, even though in many places the majority still fortunately does not (so there's hope of a return to sanity).

A different mind indeed.... a special mind...

Those aren't the guys who start the wars.... just the ones who do the fighting. Surely they'd rather take part in the circus that is this than hang out under a hail of gun or rocket fire. The people who start the wars wear 3 piece suits, often own/run corporations/banks, and are actually considered innocuous by much of the public who prefer to believe some cartoon character frothing at the mouth caused them.

How do you know how many times it was written over? Please provide proof. The answer to the first question is sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. It's usually a matter of inquiring of the user what they did. The answer to the second question is on you. Go look it up. It's not exactly uncommon knowledge either. A matter of basic physics and the properties of magnetism to a large extent.

Do you have a superstition or something? Rewriting once is enough as it is. Also, smashing might not help, most data will be recoverable. Superstition? Seriously? No, experienced and knowledgeable. Perhaps for you storage technology is some magical mystery as it seems to be for so many (though it's certainly not rocket science), but I've personally successfully recovered data that was written over, many times. It's possible with magnetic drives to do so, often with means easily available to anyone in the form of recovery software. If the easy method (recovery software) doesn't work, and if you have the proper equipment, along with the knowledge to use it (as the FBI or many professional studios do, for example), it's often possible to recover data that's been written over, even sometimes after it's been written over more than once. Most storage is on magnetic drives. And if you properly smash a drive, thereby destroying it... no, it is not recoverable. Perhaps when you smash things you smash like a toddler with a nerfbat, but most people, even toddlers, are adept at crushing things to goo if they so desire.

Apple is not remotely the only company that stores deleted data in what's essentially perpetuity. I'm no fan of Apple at all, they basically make inferior products with nice packaging, excellent marketing, at a higher price than you can get a similar and better product for (Jobs' genius was marketing, not tech). But any cloud service is just as susceptible. Apple was likely targeted as it's customers tend to be more naive of technology (hence more likely to believe Apple's BS that the 'cloud' is safe and secure so more apt to put personal things in it) than other service's customers, and it's very popular. If you're a hacker, thief, or anyone else out for some kind of booty (pun intended) which house, service, etc are you going to plunder when they all basically have the same kind of security? If you're a smart one, you're going to go for the most bang for your efforts. Hence, Apple. This whole thing is an example of how naive most people are when it comes to technology, and if you read this thread, the law too. Two exampless: You have people in this thread who can't find the pics: Naive to a huge portion of the web, and not even the underbelly of it. Oh how I miss the days before the Eternal September, when such folks were not on the interwebs. You have people who actually think when you delete something, it's deleted: Newsflash, that's not even the case on your computer unless you specifically go out of your way to overwrite the HDD sectors multiple times (or smash the drive), and it's most certainly not the case with any storage service. Why on earth do you think many cloud services and email are free? You think these companies offer these services out of the goodness of their heart? No, they datamine you, and not just for metadata if you're a person of interest (such as a celebrity). You think because it's illegal (maybe) or just because they tell you they don't that they really don't? Ubernaive you are then. But rest assured, you're in the majority. Hopefully, something good comes out of all of this: That a lot more than currently do realize that Apple and others are lying to you when they say 'clouds' are secure (they aren't and never will be). That's likely just wishful thinking on my part though.

Oooooooo! A cover of Yazoo! Here's some of the real stuff: Can't recommend this album enough. Some of Vince Clark's best.

Using 'conspiracy theorist' as a pejorative is about as sure a sign as there is of having a closed limited thinking mind filled with stuff dictated to you by others (aka: brainwashed). If you actually use your mind to think, you'll realize how stupid it is use that phrase so. As for the legal things Assange might face? Hurlshot has a very simplistic and jaded view of the legal system, and is likely incorrect in regards to what would happen to Assange. What he describes is the exception, not the rule, though it is a commonly perceived misconception when it comes to criminal or other trials. Of course reinforced on the laymen by mass media such as the very talk shows he refers to. What would happen would depend to a large degree on the political environment at the time, as would what would happen to Snowden if he ended up in the U.S. again. There are definitely very powerful people that would like to get their hands on both of them and 'make them pay'. And if they did they would likely not let Assange or Snowden see a fair trial in the light of day, or even the light of day itself. Both would likely be looking at a trial unlike what most U.S. citizens are used to seeing on 'Court TV' or some other such thing. The trials would likely be more akin to what Bradley Manning or Zacarias Moussaoui faced. The chances of Assange ever making the talk show circuit in the U.S. is extremely slim; probably about as good as my chances of winning the 100+ million dollar jackpot in the Mega-millions lottery this week. But really, this is something that will depend a lot on public perception and what's going on in the world at the time it happens. Though I think it's a safe bet that neither Assange nor Snowden would have a good time if they ended up in the U.S. again as things currently are. It would likely take a pardon, which our current president and the perennial likely candidates for that office are unlikely to give, for Snowden or Assange to ever enjoy themselves freely on U.S. soil. And that's not something that is going to happen as things currently are. Though there is slow growing awakening amongst the populace that it should (in large part due to the efforts of Assange, Snowden, and others like them).

Trials and democracy have as much to do with one another as trials and monarchies or trials and communism. Even so. If I were in another nation, and accused erroneously of sexual assault or anything else after I left, I wouldn't give a flying floob about going back to said nation to stand trial or anything else. Nor would I begrudge anyone else who wouldn't. Especially if that nation's laws regarding what actually is a crime are dubious, and especially if that nation is really just after me to to extradite me to another nation of which I am not nor ever have been a citizen, that wants to charge me with what is technically perfectly legal there (though largely unobserved and circumvented under a government known for torturing and disappearing people accused of less in recent times). You call what Sweden wants to do with Assange democracy or justice? Are you kidding me? Junai was a bit closer to the mark when he used the term 'Anglo-fascist'.

Congratulations. You just made me glad not to be young. At least I don't have to go to clubs and listen to crap any more. Have to go to clubs? You must have frequented the wrong clubs.... or clubbing in general just isn't for you. It isn't for everyone.

I didn't bring it up but the Stasi seem to indeed be what many western nations are attempting to emulate these days... Certainly my nation has taken a left turn down that road and hit the gas.

10%!?!?! My experience has that number at much higher across most professions, especially high when it comes to government or large corporate employees. With police specifically it's about 50/50, and I've numerous friends on the 'force'. There is no evidence to support that. 95% of police officers will never fire their weapons in the line of duty in their career. With video becoming more prevalent, accountability is on the rise, rather than the reverse. Look, there is always room for improvement. This is a terribly difficult profession, it requires way more training, discipline, and accountability that your average job. But buying into negative stereotypes is pointless, and perpetrating them only worsens the situation. No evidence to support it? It's a subjective anecdote. If you find that only 10% of the people you know are terrible at their job, and I find that far more than that tend to be..... My threshold for what I consider competence is certainly higher than yours. I was speaking from experience, not from some armchair formulation of opinions based on lalalala. Also, one need not ever fire one's weapon to be a horrible or corrupt police officer.

Well I can say with almost complete certainty his career is basically over, I heard he has already been suspended. Its sad really because he made it easy for people to find obvious examples of "aggressive policemen " to now prosecute and make an example of ...also he clearly hasn't been on sensitivity training. There is absolutely no shortage of examples of over aggressive policemen out there. And the guy's career will not be over. Police get away with far far worse and still have their careers intact. With rare exception the worst that ever happens to them is they are fired, in which case they often go on to work for another police agency. One of the biggest problems we have in the states (and elsewhere) is the idea that 'public officials' of all sorts are above the law in many respects. Police often do indeed quite literally get away with murder.

Absolutely no proof of that, at all. If there's a Satan, or some such entity, they are laughing with glee at you and all those who think similar. Anyone on this planet long enough that doesn't regularly go hunting for sandworms head first and that truly thinks, knows that stable families are the bedrock of a stable civilization. It's a 101 concept in pretty much all of the humanities and life. The evidence of this is everywhere. And it's something that many do still realize, both those who want the stable society and those who want to bring it down. The latter seem to sadly be winning, and they are laughing with glee as well. I don't disagree that stable families are important but I don't get the connection between a gay couple and stable family? You don't? You're the one who keeps trying to make one. I said nothing about homosexuality.
