Er, Self-Signed certs work, so long as you KNOW you want to trust them. Any attempt to use a different self-signed cert will throw an error, since the cert thumbprints wont match the "trusted" ones.
In the US in 2006, there were under 2400 cases of death by "malnourishment". This includes infant / child neglect (which is by all indicators the VAST majority of starvation cases), cases of elderly who are unable to care for themselves (also a huge chunk), drug users, etc.
Im not aware of a situation you could get yourself into in basically ANY populated area where you would be unable to get food. In the major cities, there really ISNT any way to starve unless it is through your own neglect.
Im not trying to be insensitive here, and it really breaks my heart to see people on the streets, or to talk to them and hear about the circumstances that put them there; but the chances of them starving is basically nil. Im not trying to downplay how hard their situation is or deny the tragedy of homelessness, but I do believe in perspective and honesty in discussion.
I have no idea what they are looking for, nor am I sure why that is relevant. Certainly the TSA didnt want to deal with me longer than they absolutely had to, once it was apparent I was carrying a server. I think the machine was malfunctioning, which became apparent when a clean swab still came up "suspicious" on their machine.
FYI, there's this new thing that's been recently discovered called Homosexuality. It turns out that some people prefer members of their own gender.
Im not really clear why thats relevant. Is it impossible that they have the heterosexual ones doing the screening to lessen the chance of a harassment case?
I would also be interested to see what percentage of sexual harassment cases involve homosexual folks-- I imagine that, statistically, male-female harassment cases are far higher in incidence. Cant find any specific stats on that, unfortunately.
Parent was asserting that myself and others are scared of the TSA, too much so to do anything about it-- and also that we have "experienced similar things". Thats simply not accurate, my list of "fears" does not include "TSA might start messing with me", nor have I "experienced similar things".
So yes, if you please, I will speak for myself on this issue.
Yes you are-- if the accusation is false, then the accuser and anyone who repeated their statements as fact are guilty of some pretty serious things-- the accuser of perjury (among other things), and everyone else at LEAST of defamation.
They take forever and a day partially because of the administrative costs of building the plant. As I understand it, regulations, insurance, and whatnot contribute a significant amount to the cost.
Because Jails are not a feature of Linux unless I am mistaken (and I might be), and because chroots arent meant to be for security; they can be bypassed.
I've yet to see a phone that actually implements security that isn't fairly trivially breakable (by pulling the battery and directly reading data off the flash chips).
Id like to see you try that on a blackberry with memory encryption in place.
The guy doing it was pretty bored and looked rather like he wished his shift was going to end soon. The entire thing took about 1 minute, with him telling me "using back of my hand now, front of my hand now". Didnt really get too far into uncomfortable territory; think he hit the inside of my thigh, but no more. And this only happened when the server I was carrying got flagged for "suspicious chemicals" multiple times.
It was a bother, and a lot of what happens at airports is security theatre, but I really dont think most TSA officers are salivating at the thought of feeling up random people (especially since, IIRC, women have to do the female pat downs, and men have to do the males). Their jobs seem mind-numbingly boring, and I think what it really is is that people have an objection to the safety protocols at airports (fair enough), and will use any excuse to discredit them, even if it involves ridiculous allegations of "the TSA raped me". Yea, thats not what that word means.
and not the USA where they have made the expicit choice to screw the poor.
Im pretty sure most of the poor here dont starve in the streets either. Im not able to find any specific stats about starvation, but I think there are very very few cases where someone starved because food was hard to get (most cities-- i would hazard "all") have homeless shelters, food handouts, etc; there are food stamps for those with insufficient income; theres unemployment; there are community outreaches, etc.
If I lost my job tomorrow, and someone took all my money, and all of my clothes except some shorts and sandals, and dropped me off in Chicago in the middle of december, I think I would STILL be able to find a place to sleep and something to eat (barring violent crime). I do sympathize with the homeless, and make an effort to help out how I can, but I dont think its as dire as youre painting it.
It is in your absolute best interest in a communist system to be the one, solitary bad actor who exploits it. If that is not possible, it is possible to be among the select few. Failing that, THEN it is in your best interest to work for the societal good.
The true question is whether or not a society will mature enough that it's people do not constantly want to posses more of whatever goddamn thing they see than their neighbor.
Well, based on the thefts that happen today, and the civil wars that you see all over the world, and wealth disparity all over the place, as well as what you see in history, Id say we only need a few more thousand years till we start seeing some progress in that regard.

1/10. Troll will possibly garner a little rage, but on the whole easy to spot and not terribly imaginative.

Have you ever heard of a communist who didnt breathe air?
Except for those disgusting Martian Reds, of course, but theyre a totally separate matter.

Speak for yourself.
That was, actually, my point.
Yes you are-- if the accusation is false, then the accuser and anyone who repeated their statements as fact are guilty of some pretty serious things-- the accuser of perjury (among other things), and everyone else at LEAST of defamation.
Whoops, guess they should have defended their patent a little sooner, eh? It HAS been 4 years now.

I just dealt with a failed drive last night. The drive was a 26-year-old NEC D5124.
Hows THAT for TBF?

Defamation isnt covered AFAIK.
Based on the accusation, a suspect is a murderer. That is pretty much the point parent was making.
It might be because a lot of us travel and have experienced something similar from the TSA ourselves, but are too scared to do anything about it.
Why dont you speak for yourself? We're all adults here, we can speak for ourselves.
Ive been patted down.

All good stuff. Any sources / articles on this? Id like to be sure on my numbers before I start quoting slashdot :)
Particularly I would be interested on the NCQ stats and the AHCI latency info.
With the alternative of a repressive authoritarian police state which enforces the communal system with an iron fist?
Yea, Ill take capitalism.
It doesnt work so well on slashdot-- there is no view too absurd to be meant sincerely by SOMEONE on this board.
What is trolling for one is humor for another and creed for a third.
and not the USA where they have made the expicit choice to screw the poor.

Or were you just trolling?
Marx also breathed air.
Our congress breathes air.
Communist percentage: 100%.
It is in your absolute best interest in a communist system to be the one, solitary bad actor who exploits it. If that is not possible, it is possible to be among the select few. Failing that, THEN it is in your best interest to work for the societal good.
Guess which path gets chosen most of the time?
The true question is whether or not a society will mature enough that it's people do not constantly want to posses more of whatever goddamn thing they see than their neighbor.

Until then, communism is a pipe dream.
