Anyway, I wasn't going to post in this article because this whole thing is a troll and perpetuates several fundamental misconceptions.
But at least you are half right.
Encryption on the link-level IS NOT security. "Security" on the link level consists of denying physical access to your link. Even then its not important.
The words encryption and security are really reserved for end-to-end or peer to peer level.
It doesn't matter what's in between because its encrypted there. Doh!
It takes only minimal intelligence to see this.
Consider this physical representation:
A connected to B connected to C connected to D.
What kind of an idiot talks about encryption between B and C where its obviously encryption between A and D that matters?
Well, I think you just reinforced exactly what I said. Sometimes when people say something really intelligent, people just keep on repeating the same old stuff and the new stuff doesn't sink in.
The point is that you said you don't do X if there is anyone who will catch you doing X. If there is not, then you do X all the time. Well, guess what! Now then can see what you are doing all the time and you are going to have to change your everyday behaviour because you are incapable of voting for someone other than a republican or a democrat!
I think there should be some penalty for saying first post, when you really are second post. How about no trolling for 3 days? Don't you think that is fair to us slashbots, you troll loser? Or do me need more hot monkey love?
The point is that its much easier to do this with a computer. Its like automatic speeding tickets or automatic jaywalking arrests.
Society is built on little white lies and when some fool mistakenly tries to enforce moronic laws good people get hurt and the morons who passed the laws to make themselves feel better go unpunished.
I'm wondering why they didn't just byte the bullet and use the patented ZERO.1 compression algorithm which compresses most XML to its true information size. Strangely enough that is usually zero bits.
Brigadoon was actually my favorite episode. I really like the singing, but then again I've always been a big fan of warrior-poets. assasin-poets are even better!
I pretty much like anything with asassins and thieves.
yeah, I hate it when I'm right too. Why are you in pain, my son? Is it your lack of money, skills, or ethics? Did your assets get seized, sweetie?
P.S. If I were you I would look into a career change, maybe a violent prison guard, or a drug property seizure expert.
"Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!" - the three lizard priests from Anachronox
Oh come on, stop living in the past, TNG is so out.
Farscape is for losers also. Some "astronaut" guy stumbles around and has flashbacks because there is a "bad" him in his head for how many seasons now? Farscape has completely no plot.
Lexx is the show that all of those in the know watch. The plots are amazing and relevant. And it has real sci-fi and not farscape pretty colors sci fi.
Well our law is extremely stupid. Basically our law says corporations are people and a corporation made up out of 10,000 people commits the crimes that all of these people commit.
Thats just plain dumb. I'm willing to find any (your choice) 10,000 people and I'll bet your ass they have WAY more incidence of crime than "microsoft" millionaires do.
This is clearly good old fashioned rich envy and in Texas they are very clear about shooting anyone who envies tries to prevent the rich from being rich, because they (and correctly so) are very clear that the perfect society is one that has upward mobility. You guys all seem to be headed down. Why don't you get a job at MS? Oh. oops, no skills.
I think a justice system that can find a legal contradiction like a corporation guilty of anything is corrupt. But this is obviously the opposite viewpoint you seem to have. I don't want my legal system making ANY decisions about
!groups! of people.
umm... there's not such things "monopolistic practices" - monopoly is a state that is not inherently bad or good in any industry.
95% of businesses aspire to be monopolies, even in their mission statements.
Mircosoft does far less to shut out competitors than ANY other company that has even a chance of being in Microsoft's position.
In essence what you are doing is complaining that non MS products suck. Or more accurately, you are whining, with no intention of doing anything about it.

Hmmm. The employees are the business, bub.

so basically these things are slower than 500 MHz G4s. Maybe they should have saved the money....

Why shouldn't we be more worried about a florida alligator claiming a victim?
Personally I think bank/ATM security cams need to get a lot better so they can actually identify the bank robbers.
$2 ? OK how about $1
What if someone passes a law criminalizing my conduct when they find out about it and then instantly locate me with the CARNIVORE system?

But he WAS a criminal. The computer AND the media said so. Who would you believe? Lock him up again before he committs more crimes.

See drug war.
I've often wondered that myself. Linus should just patent linux and get it over with. The we wouldn't have MS calling linux a virus.
I R copyrighted IP.
you not be using words to big to fit in pirated congress ass monkey.
so take them out? Oh what's that... you only want mexicans to look in the toilet. Well that's why your fair use rights are still there.
BTW you can have the best of bost worlds by just shooting people in the supermarket and taking their food.
who is the self destructing of the who here?
I already self destructed, why do I need to buy the book?
Extra bang good?
I'm wondering why they didn't just byte the bullet and use the patented ZERO.1 compression algorithm which compresses most XML to its true information size. Strangely enough that is usually zero bits.
And, no, its not lossy.
exactly. BTW I just patented your rant. Give me money or I smack my monkey with a cucumber.

just what I was thinking --- "Atack of the killer clones"
Must be something about the phrase that causes people to think that (clones kill).
Help, we've been brainwashed!
first pizza? Taco on kale?
why do you give "news" more status that editorials? Because its on the first page?
Are you part of a plot by the government to track me?
they already have nightmares, dude. How about daymares? :)
