QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) Due to HIPPA many of the documents stored onsite arent accessible to the internet anyway. If they are, its behind several proxies that would be very hard to "hack." But it also depends if you think your medical records are more important than something like your Drivers License number, which is much easier to get. Yeah, HIPPA disclosure is why you can be reasonably sure with respect to their security. Any security can be beaten given enough time and resources, but if you put up enough deterrents people will look for easier targets.

Google's tracking apps are...questionable right now. Google Now sent me an "Activity" summary that said I was walking for a total of 10 hours in June and 12 hours in July. In both of those months, I used google's own "My Tracks" app to track about 100 miles of hiking. Something doesn't add up there.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 09:57 AM) I mean basically all data is going to be stored electronically these days...if someone really wants my info, they will hack into my doctor's servers just the same, won't they? Well, two things here. Your medical records at your doctor's office aren't going to have nearly the amount of data that some of these apps and devices track. Your doctor measures your blood pressure once or twice a year, not continuously. The other is that many of these devices and apps themselves have very poor security built into them, whereas you can be reasonably sure that electronic medical records are kept on a pretty secure system. Given enough time and resources, all security systems can be beaten, but my doctor isn't constantly spamming out medical information in clear text like some of these devices/apps are. edit: from that symantec report: lol why

yeah, about all of those devices and apps that track various health-related things... http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered...firms-are-on-it

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 8, 2014 -> 07:13 AM) The worst thing about Robin, IMO, is that he doesn't signal for the homerun nearly often enough. We all complain about the bullpen a lot, but how many games has the bullpen blown that couldn't have been salvaged if Robin just had his guys hit a few homeruns the next inning? It makes. No. SENSE! It's like he's not paying attention to the score.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 10:19 AM) Thank you for travelling from yesterday to deliver that news. BREAKING: LeBron "GOING HOME" to Cleveland!

who ever used their ipod for videos though, that always seemed silly to me

4k streaming will use 10-20 Mbps, but I'm not convinced that'll ever really take off all that much.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 08:33 AM) Did Olympic once, 5 days up and down the Hoh River Trail, it was great. Haven't done Rainier yet. We did about 3 miles up the Hoh River Trail one afternoon. Great trail, but never really got to the steep parts. I don't know that I'd say one park was better than they other, but Olympic was really more like three or four separate parks than one big, cohesive park. You have the coasts and tide pools, several different rain forests, and then the mountains and ridges. I'm slowly working on convincing my wife to do some backpacking. I think she's up for a short overnight or maybe two nights at this point.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) I typically set half the sink up with hot, soapy water and I'll let the tough/greasy dishes soak there. Then, I'll apply dishsoap to a sponge and will start on the easier dishes (water running in other half the entire time). I reapply soap as needed. this

yeah Florida is a s***hole in general. Basically, anywhere out west I'd probably be good with. Maybe the New England area, that seemed really nice when I was there for work. It'd be nice to have a relatively short drive to mountains and wilderness areas.

Both Olympic and Mt. Rainier were amazing. Add Washington to the list of states I'd rather live in than Illinois.

Why is Canada like our 51st state and you'd not have as much of a problem with Canadian immigrants as you would with Mexican or central American immigrants?

Do you understand why you undercut your own point when you said that and made yourself look silly?

I'm more curious how jenks thinks he can get from what I've said about Dungy to that question he's asking me.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) The Feds just don't enforce the law, at least against users. They might against growers or dealers, but I doubt it. yep, still not federally legal.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) If you beat your wife, does your employer suspend you or take part of your pay check? I'd probably lose my ability to get and maintain security clearances, so I'd probably be fired.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 08:45 PM) Because of the 'personal' nature of it. Unfortunately even some republicans get in on that now, although I think more from a 'they do it, we should too' aspect. Clinton's took this mode into turbo. Remember the 'bimbo squads'? Bill wasn't at fault because these bimbos fell on his dick, no. They must be destroyed! Just look at any conservative politician that even looks like they might be interested in running for higher office. The media starts digging then. How many days were spent in the media cycles on 'bridgegate'? more than Bengazi, for sure. Doesn't make either right. This guy is an asshole for trying to make this personal, to destroy her, to make her a 'target' as he says. Seriously dude, he didn't f*** your wife, kill your mom and piss on your dog. She legally hunted a lion. I get that you don't like that. I don't get the level of hatred towards her from him especially, as he wants to be a representative of a group of people in this country. Another example of the personal nature of liberal politics!!! http://centraloregoncoastnow.com/2014/07/2...ned-parenthood/

Got a chance to climb Mt. Monadnock near Keene, NH during a work trip:

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) I wrote it knowing you wouldn't be able to resist. Good job?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 22, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) Yeah, I mean Greg shouldn't be such a woman about these things, but at the same time it's f***ed up that 80 people get shot and 14 killed in a 48 hour period. Sweet casual sexism bro!

Wait since when is driving a truck considered a slight? Trucks are pretty damn expensive.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 10:04 PM) you need to step away from TV news and get XM radio for your truck.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) So call the owners that took that on courageous. Don't call the others racist because they didn't. That's bulls*** logic. This is really the perfect encapsulation of how wrong your position is. Individual Mlb managers and owners weren't racist for propagating a system that deliberately and openly excluded black players.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) "I wouldn't have taken him," said Dungy, now an NFL analyst for NBC. "Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it." Now look who is putting words in other's mouths. Dungy actually said "deal with all of it", which is probably meaning the distractions outside of football(media,reality shows). Nowhere does he say him being gay was the unacceptable distraction yet you dont mind attaching that to him which isnt surprising since you like throwing the bigot card around so easily. You might be shocked to learn that my comments are informed by knowledge of his earlier, explicit anti-gay statements.
