He said Protect, which is only part of the newer Gen2 cloudkeys (controller + video surveillance). The app just lets you manage the basic config of your devices and see network stats. There is a separate app for viewing your security cameras via Unifi cloud.

He said Protect, which only comes on the new cloud key gen2 devices and requires a Unifi cloud account. The old stand-alone controller (key or installer) does not unless you tie it to your Unifi cloud account.

These companies are also actively pushing "Renting" as a business model where the farmer only rents the tractor for the season. Any maintenance and repairs are done as part of the rental and at the end of the season, the tractor goes back. This completely cuts the farmer out of the equation in terms of ownership/repair.

Given there shady business practices in the past, it's no surprise the company has been ran into the ground and abandoned. Good riddance.

So it's going to end up just like with MS. Now when you start your new phone, you have to select what search engine to use, even though everyone will select Google anyway. The only victory here is the EU getting a big wad of cash...

Exactly, why would I sync my anything to something that isn't mine? That's like checking your bank account from a kiosk.. All the NOPEs.

What, no SW UCS kits? Lame!

They have the original Technic sets though, that's pretty awesome.

Correct. Hence the development of the B-17G model with the chin turret to provide more forward protection.

"Several Republicans have criticized the regulations as expensive and unauthorized. They also contend that regulating for-profit colleges should be the role of Congress, not the Obama administration."

Uh.. So according to Republicans, Congress is more qualified to make regulations concerning education than the DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION? Oh right, it's a Republican congress...

At least in my state, they beat it into you in concealed carry class that you must attempt to leave the situation, not doing so and opening fire puts you in hot water. Drawing your weapon should only happen when A. you can't escape (gunman blocking the exit and there is no alternate route), or B. You can't escape and you have been or are going to be directly harmed.

In the end, I'm not worried about concealed carry people, it's the people who don't care to be registered that are the issue. And as it's been said before, if someone is bent on causing an incident, a sign that says "gun-free zone" isn't going to stop them, it'll just make for a target rich environment.

I saw it in theaters, and piracy is not to blame, sorry. I liked the first two, but this one was just not as good. They tried too hard to bridge the gap with a "new generation" of Expendables, and less about our old-school action heroes blowing shit up (which is the entire point of these). And Terry Crews only had a bit part which sucked because he's the funniest of the bunch.

You are correct sir, my mistake.

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Unfortunately, our constitutional right to overthrow our corrupt government is now considered domestic terrorism.

nullsocket — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 20:25:34 +0000

I don't block ads as a way to rid sites of revenue. I block because of cookie abuse and internet tracking. Secondary is just play annoying ad abuse. I cringe when I see users surfing unfiltered with IE and ads are everywhere. The internet isn't here for you to make an easy buck off us, it's to share and spread information, plain and simple. Don't try to make me feel bad for your poor business model.
