    Wait... What? What promises are you talking about? Unlike Clinton, Trump has not ever been a part of politics (directly). There's yet to be any broken promises from him.

    And your proof that it was Russian's is what again? TrustConnect's flawed and oft repeated wild guess they call analysis? Or maybe you're referring to the various articles, and apparently "anonymous government officials" quoting TrustConnect's guesses. Oh maybe you mean SecureWorks best guess as well (which was recently posted here). Blaming Russia is both dangerous and counter productive in all cases. It's simply a way to distract the stupids from the actual information which has been released (by both DCLeaks and Wikileaks).

    Right but they are governed by rules set forth by the FEC, which there is a high probability that some where violated in how money was collected and then spent.

  10. Should we be looking at the Parties records overall or just single instances in the recent past? I'm not sure which one backs your point.

  11. The ip range shows some staging server

    The IP shows a public Russian VPN provider. Slashdot offers VPN's that operate in such countries as well, does that mean those countries are responsible?

    Code litter left behind is so well understood by private sector security contractors that they should have been able to detect access in real time.

    There are lots of hacking tools from all over the place floating around the dark web, if you know where to look. This doesn't mean that the Russian government had any hand in it.

    The time zone fits working hours in Russia.

    Most basement dwellers as Hilary calls them tend to work the same hours as average Russians. Most Russians that work technical positions generally work closer to US hours (because we pay more). I know this first hand as I have worked with Russians and Ukrainians for over a decade now on various projects in the high technology fields.

    Some person has the skill to evaded social engineering during an interview and thats a sure sign of a Russian background, education or coaching.

    What? Really? You really think this????

    All that made it to the press and got passed around as fact. The press quotes contractors and unnamed gov officials. US gov workers and supporters then quote the press reporting on what the contractors found. The US gov then hints at what the press reported and experts found as reality with vague wordy paragraphs about code fragments. The US media can then quote the gov as confirming their security contractors. One big echo chamber. Code that is well understood and risks been on AV watch lists in the private sector is not much use.

    You realize that Russia has nuclear weapons right? And that we're already on shaky ground with this with the massive fuck-ups by our feckless president and former secretary of state right? In what world is escalating this going to do anything other than get us into a war?

    And once again, totally ignore WHAT has been released, that's not important that all of this massive corruption is on full display, what's more important is tying evil racist woman hating Trump to the evil Russian h4kz0rz.

  19. This entire story is a mess... on FBI Investigating Russian Hack Of New York Times Reporters, Others (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    So wild guessing again, likely piggy backing off the erronious statements that the Times itself made regarding the sources of these hacks...

    Hackers thought to be working for Russian intelligence have carried out a series of cyber breaches targeting reporters at The New York Times and other US news organizations, according to US officials briefed on the matter.

    The intrusions, detected in recent months, are under investigation by the FBI and other US security agencies.

    Hm...

    Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said the company had seen "no evidence" that any breaches had occurred.

    "We are constantly monitoring our systems with the latest available intelligence and tools. We have seen no evidence that any of our internal systems, including our systems in the Moscow bureau, have been breached or compromised,"

    So no hack?

    The Times has brought in private sector security investigators who are working with US national security officials to assess the damage and determine how the hackers got in, according to the US officials.

    So they were hacked?

    Attention has grown on the hacks thought to be carried out by Russians since Wikileaks released a trove of emails stolen from the DNC in the weekend before the Democratic Party's convention to nominate Hillary Clinton for president. US intelligence officials say there is strong evidence showing Russian intelligence behind the DNC hack. The Clinton campaign has claimed the hack as proof that the Russians are trying to aid the election of Donald Trump.

    Thought by who? Is there some official statement that the earlier hacks of the DNC and DCCC are the work of the Russians (with proof?). Likely no, more than likely this statement is based off the flawed TrustConnect analysis which assumed Russian intelligence services had something to do with this because the originating IP of the hack was hidden behind Russian VPN.

    And there we have it folks. News! Predictably from CNN they have to of course point out that the Evil DT is the one responsible for all of this, according to a documented liar.

    Huh? Because VPN IP address? Again, TrustConnect's analysis was good, it traced back to a Russian VPN service provider. The rest of their analysis was best wild guessing.

    The NYT article (which IMHO has become a water carrier for the Clinton's) references it's own story, which again incorrectly assumes that Russia is involved because of the TrustConnect's best guess. But TrustConnect even acknowledges that the originating network is obfuscated behind the VPN provider.

    I hate this tactic of the main stream media outlets. They take questionable information, then report on it as if it was fact, then pile onto that by continuing further reporting all based off of the original questionable information by citing earlier articles they've produced.

  23. Comcast is a GSM yet not regulated under the PUC on Comcast Expands $10 Low-Income Internet Plan (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So Comcast is a government sanctioned monopoly, but some how are not subject to PUC regulation. This results in the garbage plans I'm forced to buy. Someone please explain to me why I can purchase a bundled package for $70 or so with internet, a rented cable box, and HBO, yet if I just want internet it's $150 a month. Why is such a bullshit pricing scheme allowed to continue? If Comcast can deliver the service for $70, than a lesser service should never exceed that price. Where's the PUC when you need them? Nowhere, as most of them are bought off. I sure as hell don't expect anything to change if the NBC/Comcast candidate wins the presidency.

Now rides in the Native American (very white) knight to the rescue blasting the unfair competition, which can of course only by fixed with more government interference and of course control (because it's working so well with our health care system).

I mean how many millions did Clinton receive from them? http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/... Can we expect Warren to rail against Clinton? Nope, not at all, because that doesn't provide the means to consolidate more power under her control.
