  1. Re:cookies can go away when you shut your browser on The Private Outsourcing of US Intelligence Services · · Score: 1

    Because I actually secure my computer and run a minimum level of access needed on all applications. At times I even turn off various settings like colours so I can actually read pages that are pig ugly. I use whitelist's on everything. It's the same as controlling who can log into your computer, you dont sit with guest open access, you lock it down. Same for client access, I control who can set cookies, I control who can change my browser dimensions, I control who can pop up new windows. Or do you prefer to let them have control of your computer which is what it sounds like you are doing.

    insecure for THEM as I have 100% control over the client :) Clients should be treated as untrusted, period. Not that I care since they aren't my bank etc.

    Im not paranoid, Im lazy and dont want to have to change my settings for every tom dick and harry website that doesnt need to retain my session on the CLIENT SIDE, which is insecure anyway. Its so hard to save session info on a server isnt it not that there is any session or anything of use to save anyway. Its just bad design by the gimps in technology today.

    Explain to me why my 6000 USD mobile workstation is sucking 200 watts when I expect BETTER DESIGN that uses less power, especially when we are trying to REDUCE power usage. I can tell you why, BAD DESIGNERS that are all high on their laurals saying its not a blue collar job and its a "skilled job", well go show me some skill then, give me powerful mobile workstations that use LESS POWER or talk to the hand.

    No but the problem is "speed wars" in GPU's and thats going to ramp up for the GPGPU battlefield thats comming. My laptops cost me about 6000 USD and they are top end so yeah I have "powerful" laptops. Its unfortunate that a workstation, mobile or stationary, takes more power than my fridge freezer.

    I want LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION. This is done by scaling out with more cores. My laptop is going to MELT for fclucks sakes. This is why I buy Intel now instad of AMD for my mobile needs. They have BETTER power "management". Core wars please, not speed wars. SMARTER DESIGNS not BRUTE FORCE.

    All the more reason to leech and not have it doing it 24/7. I do it "on demand" :) Less visibility. If you run a "sharing" server non stop for the purpose of sharing (I am aware of partial sharing when you download) then tough titty, they are after YOU. As for "partial" sharers like me and those that leech "on demand", we have less visibility and we usually fall off their radar.

    Well use a hacked client that doesnt share, hello. Also, etc/hosts block their IP's, they are published you know. Risk mitigation. It also helps being in a different country :) They have to "liase" with their local counterparts which takes time through beurocracy. Static IP's not a good idea. No need for them anyway its so 90's.

    If you get a letter, if you dont have a copy of the item in question then go out and buy a "license" for it. When it comes to court, wave your "license" and what can they sue you for? End of court case. Everybody should do this.
