¡Olé! Drones and the Mexico Border

Could Our U.S. Government be a little more Specific ...

Now that you have informed Illegals, Drug Cartel and the Likes of other Criminal Intent Persons of Interest, of where these Drones are launched from, the altitude in which they fly, distance from our US Borders, also the area they cover of our US Borders, their ability to record/spot specific details...

...why not provide Flight Paths & Aeronautical Maps too, as well as air dropping water, compasses, night vision eye-wear...hmmm Google how about making Night Vision Google Glass, so Violators of the Law & Constitution can record their travels & unlawful deeds too.

Last I checked Unlawful means Illegal.

The comment I really get a kick out of is "The U.S. government now patrols nearly half the Mexican border by drones"

Nearly half ??? as in we the USA have the rest of the Border under control.

As American Citizens we have the Right to


Rights

Responsibilities

  • Freedom to express yourself.
  • Freedom to worship as you wish.
  • Right to a prompt, fair trial by jury.
  • Right to vote in elections for public officials.
  • Right to apply for federal employment requiring U.S. citizenship.
  • Right to run for elected office.
  • Freedom to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
  • Support and defend the Constitution.
  • Stay informed of the issues affecting your community.
  • Participate in the democratic process.
  • Respect and obey federal, state, and local laws.
  • Respect the rights, beliefs, and opinions of others.
  • Participate in your local community.
  • Pay income and other taxes honestly, and on time, to federal, state, and local authorities.
  • Serve on a jury when called upon.
  • Defend the country if the need should arise.

I like Support and defend the Constitution, which means against all enemies, foreign and domestic...I took this Oath...one of our Duties as a U.S. Citizen...I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same

and

Defend the country if the need should arise, another Duty of a U.S. Citizen
as an American, to bear arms — or participate in civic service — on behalf of the United States and defend it from all enemies both foreign and domestic.

So you can see how some American's can become confused on/of their Part in Protecting Our Nation, along our borders, as more and more people, drugs and weapons enter by other than the Natural Order of Citizenship and of Legal Means.

Computer Sensors - What is a sensor?

Sensors Seriously ?  on My Computer has Sensors ?  from Who, for What, and Why ?
Windows 7 - Home Premium - Professional - Ultimate - Enterprise - my first thought Microsoft why not just One Operating System version of Windows 7, or maybe 2, Standard & Professional

Since 31 October 2013, Windows 7 is no longer available in retail (except for the Professional edition pre-installed)

Your Computer may have Sensors installed, used by Programs that customize information and services based on your computer's current location, surroundings and more.

Of your surroundings could be information about what is near you as restaurants, service stations and more.

There are different types of Sensors
  • Sensors built in to your computer
  • Sensors connected to your computer by a wired or wireless connection
Examples of sensors include a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver, that can detect your computer's current location.
A light sensor installed on your computer could detect the light in your surroundings, and then adjust the screen brightness to match it. 

Programs access information from a sensor once it is installed and enabled on your Computer.  Supposedly you are able to Enable or Disable a Sensor to help prevent Programs and User Accounts from Accessing information from a Sensor.

As some Sensor used by Programs may send personal information over Network Connections.  Which can be Enabled or Disabled only when You  as Administrator are logged in Windows.

Limit Access to other Personal Information regarding other Users of Your Computer by Changing who can access information from a sensor.  Note: You must have at least one sensor installed before you can change user settings for sensors.

With a sensor is enabled, by default, all users and programs on your computer can access information from it.  Some programs could potentially use Personal Information (such as your location) from sensors without permission.  You can limit programs from accessing information from sensors by user account. 


To enable or disable a sensor Open Location and Other Sensors by clicking the
button, and then clicking Control Panel.  In the search box, type Sensors, and then click Location and Other Sensors.

Select the check box next to the sensor that you want to enable, or clear the check box to disable the sensor, and then click Apply. 

Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Windows 7, Win8, Win 9 ?, what about Win10

Yikes !!!


Microsoft ends retail sales for Windows 8, coincides with end of sales of consumer versions of Windows 7 on new PCs.

No date has yet been set for when sales of Windows 8 via manufacturers will end — and Microsoft has said, it will continue to support the operating system until January 2023.  Windows 8.1 is still available at retail and no date has been set for the end of sales yet.


As of 31 Oct 2014, Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate are no longer be available to buy installed on PCs, according to Microsoft.  Sales of Windows 7 Professional will continue and MS will give a year's notice of the end of sale date Win7 Pro.


Microsoft would love to see PC Users keeping up with Microsoft Windows versions at a faster pace...however some of PC Users, are still using WinXP, and Windows 7, having not made the move.


Windows XP hangs in there with 17.2 percent of PCs connecting to the web

Windows 7, at 53 percent  and Windows 8 and 8.1 together account for 16.8 percent 

So what Happened to Windows 9 (code name "Threshold") ?  may be released Spring 2015, but do not hold your breath, as it might be a cover for Windows 10.


Windows 9 will be aimed at desktop users who never wanted the drastic design overhaul of Windows 8.  Desktop users will get their classic Start menu back, popping up in the bottom-left corner instead of taking over the entire screen as it does in Windows 8.


Windows 10 Screen Shots

And if some of Us Users, prefer buying PC's with installed Operating Systems and do not wish the Cloud, what then ?


Of the Windows 7 Users today, we may have until 2020 before Windows 7 becomes obsolete to some degree and unsupported.


Tech Radar on Rumor Control Windows 10


Windows 10 may be the last, meaning no Windows 11, 12, 13, etc., with Windows 10, making the transition from a software licensing model to a cloud computing one.  Thus Users will become Subscribers to Microsoft's Cloud Computing.  This maybe taking place in 2015.
