    You mist have been living in a cave. It was major news 6 years ago.

    Yes. It was spun off from Time Warner back in 2009.

    AOL and Time Warner split up years and years ago.

    Lucky for Verizon, AOL's 56k isn't that much slower than their supposed "broadband" DSL.

    In what way was this a "hack"?

    The fact that this question gets asked basically every year should more than sufficiently answer the question.

    Not really. The laws exist because the businesses bought them. H-1Bs werenmt invented out of a vacuum.

    That isn't even remotely the reason H-1Bs exist. You must be exceptionally ignorant or naive to think that is what any of those multi-nationals use H-1Bs for.

    That's a guarantee not to win.

    3 Senators can do jack shit when at least 90 more will do nothing.

    Yes, really. This is well-documented fact.

  13. Re:Not unacceptable at all on Senators Demand CIA Director Admit He Lied About Spying On Senate Computers · · Score: 1

    I don't see the relevance of your post to mine. The AC was trying to claim that including that sentence was some sort of inappropriate editorializing when it was simply part of a quote of the letter. I was simply informing them of the source of the sentence that got them butthurt.

    You at least have the option of voting out a bad Senate, how do you vote out a bad CIA?

    I can? Since when? Big money and incumbent advantage makes this highly unlikely in almost all but very few cases.

    No one of any importance will get in trouble for it.

    Great joke. This is going to change nothing.

    That sentence is straight from the letter from the Senators. Why is it inappropriate to include the Senators' words?

    SSL's flaws are due to poor protocol design by cowboy coders at Mozilla. They were hardly "experts". It was the "experts" that had to bandaid the system to make even the barest safe to use.

    Oh and the best part was when all the right-wing pundits, etc. basically dropped supporting him when he started making racist statements to the press.

  21. Re:Where were gun nuts during Occupy? on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 4, Informative

    It wasn't for unpaid taxes. He was grazing on public lands and then refused to pay the grazing fees. He was basically being a mooch and the right only jumped to his defense because they could make up this story about he was a victim of government overreach.

  22. Re: correct on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 2

    The US government has pissed on people's rights since the Alien and Sedition Acts from the presidency of John Adams. Are people like you just extremely ignorant of the long history of the US government, law enforcement, etc. ignoring Constitutional rights when it suits them? Did you never learn about J. Edgar Hoover? Never learn about the Church Commission and rampant abuses it made public? Did you not learn about how just a hundred years ago the Supreme Court upheld a law passed by Congress that made anti-war dissent illegal?

    Did you only learn a white-washed version of US history that left out these things and the many more instances of civil rights abuses over the last two centuries?

    Since when did law enforcement or intelligence agencies ever care about people's Constitutional rights? Are you just horribly naive of history?

    No, he also wants that encryption to contain flaws which will be guaranteed to be found and exploited by more than just the "good" guys. Just as we have seen done with other backdoors that criminals have found and exploited.

    Credit card companies don't bear the losses in the sense you seem to think they do.

    No, they bear it in exactly the sense I think. According to Federal Law, merchants and credit card companies can not hold me accountable to pay back fraudulent charges. That they may amortize fraud over all of their customers as a cost of business does not change that fact.

    Why do you think credit card interest rates are so usurious in a time of supposedly spectacular low cost of money?

    You have a shit credit score? I got all the interest rates on my two credit cards lowered to the low teens just a year or so ago.
