Seriously. The US government is 100% committed to spending a fortune regulating and enforcing use of the internet due to 'online piracy'. As a result the US government is directly providing law enforcement, judicial, and legislative staff to protect the video and music industry..... and yet they openly claim REGULATING BANKS and stock market (NOTE: the Republican party is almost 100% against regulating the banking industry) is bad???
Am I the only one who is concerned with this criminally insane paradox?
Sure, the allegations could be true, but - Birgitta Jonsdottir is a politician, and like everyone else has a price to do or say anything. It is within the realm of probability that she has been paid to take this highly public stance.
The fact is, a smear campaign is not just a simple accusation (in this case two coincidentally made on the same day), but rather a string of questionable accusations presented to people. Sure each one can easily be disproved in most cases, but if you make enough false allegations and pay a few people (especially those who appear to give credibility to an accusation) then these lies appear to be true.
Does ANYONE actually believe the USA can illegally invade another country, kill hundreds of thousands of people and manage to hide it.... yet would just stop at a simple rape allegation?? Uh, no! It has been widely covered that the US government is actively trying to destroy credibility of wikileaks, and sadly that will involve putting US operatives or paid rats inside wikileaks with the ultimate goal of taking this organization down.
The CIA has set up dozens of puppet governments in similar ways, so taking down an enemy website by 'framing' those who run it will happen. Truth be told, that "Collateral Murder" video makes much of what has happened look like a child's birthday party. For example, the blast and shockwave from the MOAB bomb can destroy about 8-10 blocks radius of a city, and we used these in Iraq... how many people who be disgusted if we saw the aftermath of just one?
However, not being able to delete and modify prior threads is a HUGE (there is no super-duper-de-duper-wholy-shit symbol, so I'll just use the '4' to express my WTF-idness!) privacy issue-- 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4!!!!!
Why would you not even consider the fact that people post stupid stuff, then want to delete it?? 44444444444444444???????
Yeah.... I thought so Google, you are up China's respective bunghole. Does NSA know about this? You should send them a memo....
Seriously, I live in the USA and am ashamed at the 'anti-piracy' efforts the government provides to the entertainment industry (...oh yeah, and lawyers). If only the government did this for truly productive professions like medicine, dental, education????? Seriously, the US says "fuck you!!" to teachers, but is willing to throw people in jail because they download a shitty Metallica song?? WTF is wrong with the USA these days?? How many black Americans are in jail at this moment because of this policy?
ANSWER: to fucking many!
USA is ferd!!!!! (ferd = fucked for those who don't know).... We need a third party to ass-fuck both the republicans (mouth-fuck palin), and the democrats. Even tho palin is like 100 and shit... i'd tap that just to say I ferd hitlers wife, and came on her glasses:)
LOL!! this should be modded up.. because it's funny (and true!). However, he was a bit more expansive in his discussions. He probably would have said:
"We look deep into the the brain of this car, that is known as 'computer'. Millions upon millions of lines of code, all searching for the answer to a question the driver has already discovered...."
As a general rule, most contracts have a military clause that extends to the spouse/family of the military member. The reason this clause exists is to protect them should they be required to move without notice, relocate to another area, or lose their spouse. This applies, to homes, cars, and many other things.
It's a good policy, and Verizon screwed up by choosing to ignore it. If Verizon stuck to their guns, she could easily have gone to family advocacy department in the USMC and they would have helped correct Verizon.
If nothing else, it highlights how we little people get treated by corporations in America every day.
First off, if the 'US' is 'sure' of something (for example weapons of mass destruction), then you can be 100% certain the US is up to no good.
Second, "The US is sure that most criminals use ICQ and..." ---- really?? I will happily plunk down a $1,000,000 bet and walk down to the nearest prison and ask a random sampling of 'criminals' what they know about ICQ. Rest assured, almost none of the criminals will have a clue about ICQ. Kids however, would be able to tell you all about it....maybe the US is referring to kids who download shitty music as 'criminals'? If keeping ICQ in order to track a bunch of pimply-faced kids downloading music is 'National Security', then America is truly fucked.
In episode 1109, titled "More Crap", Bono is discovered to be the worlds biggest turd. And to think this episode was done over two years ago - brilliantly insightful.
I still use HP printers exclusively at home, and recommend them to customers as well.
Then you, sir, are a douche! HP printers can eat a bag of ass. Have you ever come across the 'expired ink' message (you know, where the ink has been in the printer 'too long', so it will not print until you replace the cartridges-- quite expensive even when you ARE out of ink!!). That was the last straw for me. I will never recommend or buy another HP product ever.
As for working best with linux, I'd have to disagree there too, I think Brother is far more supportive these days.
Regardless, I will chisel crap in stone before HP gets another penny of my money.
How stupid! While I wouldn't be happy about having my work decrypted, throwing the whole 'it's illegal' red herring out there is just plain dumb-assery!
The fact is, you want to know when your OUTDATED encryption techniques are no longer useful.... but perhaps Bransfield-Garth would prefer a hostile agency do the work and leave it unpublished?? Yeah, I thought that was the less desirable option.
If it really was a coverup, then they would have been deleted completely.
If I can reformat a drive to DoD 5225-22 M and find someone to destructively dispose of a disk, you don't think the USAF folks in charge of White House communications can if they were ordered too? Same goes for civilians working at the White House. If the Bush administration really wanted emails to "get lost", they would have.
Having experience with this stuff, I can say with 100% certainty that the USAF folks are not NEARLY as masterful at their craft as you believe! In fact, most USAF actions are mired in political 'ass-covering' by 'good-'ol-boy' USAF officers who truly should never have been put in a position that requires integrity, honesty, and 'doing the right thing' as values.
Now, if only the Obama administration would tenaciously pursue prosecution of the people who ordered the deletion of these emails all would be right in my world.
"Does the spirit of scientific scepticism really require that I remain forever open-minded to denialist humbug until it's shown to be wrong?"
Does this apply to religion as well?
Unfortunately, folks only assume this applies to science, but how many muslims (christians, et al.) think skepticism applies to religious snake-oil salesman as well? Consider this: if religions were held to task too we would never have met George Bush or Osama Bin Laden.
Sure, let the drunk asshats drive around the country without restriction after chugging down who knows how much beer.... but lord help us all if a nerd on a computer gets behind the keyboard of a computer WITHOUT a license!!
Seems like it would be smarter to require Australian politicians to hold a license (granted by the public, of course) to be a flippin politician or lawyer!
hey, it's totally possible that with the decline in intellect in modern civilization that one day people may be like, "he crushed his brain? No problem, we can just take it out, it has no use anyways.. people believe it may have been used for cushioning to protect the uvula...which as we all know is where mankind derives his 'intelligence'...".
All the news outlets will attempt to sell their news online while 'paper news' begins to lag. The online generation will become less informed about the truths of current events, and ultimately 'grass-roots' organizations will begin to distribute 'newspapers' to enlighten the masses......talk about going back a couple-hundred years, except replace 'online' with 'town cryer'... seriously, capitalism may be a setback for the online community, but I really hope valid news is still available for free - or else we are all screwed.

Thanks for a truly funny post.

So servers for spammers, hackers, torrents, porn, & gambling sites all have safe haven in Chile now?
At least THEY have rights! ---- you fucking douche.

Sure, the scientists are in "awe".... but are they "shocked" too?
My contract is set to renew, and I wanted to get a new iphone 3gs, and the ATT site doesn't even offer the iphone as an option.
I suspect that not only did they lose exclusivity, they may not even be worthy of distributing iphones anymore.
not much more to say really. I could have uploaded this exact site in 2 minutes with identical functionality.
Just a scam, nothing more.
With that said... when sex robots DO become available, I am soooooooooo getting one to replace my stupid wife.

BBC is crap, how dare they encrypt it!!
This is the same as crapping in a bank vault. The only person who wants that steaming pile of poo is either insane, or thinks its something it's not.

What a sad, pathetic joke we in the USA are subjecting the world to when a patent such as "US 7,599,985 " exists.
In short, it is basically defining the interaction of a computer with a server.
This is exactly the same as if I were able to patent the idea of 'placing one foot in front of the other in order to achieve motion'
