Defeating China's National Firewall
Bruce Schneier is reporting on his blog that a recent paper is discussing how to defeat China's national firewall. From the article: "However, because the original packets are passed through the firewall unscathed, if both of the endpoints were to completely ignore the firewall's reset packets, then the connection will proceed unhindered! We've done some real experiments on this -- and it works just fine!! Think of it as the Harry Potter approach to the Great Firewall -- just shut your eyes and walk onto Platform 9¾."
You should work for the Bush administration!
Oh for the love of Christ, stop being such a pedantic fuck. Look, the phrase has implied meaning, do you not understand that?
When someone says "I could care less" it is implied that they are leaving off something like "but it's not likely" or "but not until there's a clown in the oval office*". So the real meaning is "I COULD care less, but I DON'T." It's functionally equivalent to saying "I couldn't care less", but with a bit of panache, right?
Anyway, what are you like 13? You need to spend your time surfing the Internet just waiting to "correct" someone who, in your mind, misuses a particular part of speech? It's that is so then Slashdot is not the place foOH wait what am I saying.
