I thought the same way you did. Then I saw the patronizing bullshit they were responding with for the serious questions regarding our rights and government corruption.
The website is bullshit, the only sadness is that any citizen really thinks that it's nothing more than an expensive platitude to appease the slightly more informed masses.
As far as I am concerned, the next petition should be the serious funding for an advanced self cleaning pocket pussy that can holographically project HD porn in front of you. You would think I am kidding, but I'm not. If trillions of dollars went to bail out Wall Street and a bunch of assholes that don't need to pay for their mistakes like normal people, if trillions of dollars can be spent on a War on Drugs that has done nothing, If trillions of dollars can be spent on the Military Industrial Complex bailouts....
Yeah.... I think as an American Citizen I deserve my super advanced pocket pussy. It's as valid as any of the other bullshit they've spent my money on.... and ten times better than the reach-around I'm getting from the deep fucking now...
So he's responsible for all the manufacturer defects?
That's kind of harsh don't you think?
Nooo... the guy that was a "fucking champ" is the one who designed AT-AT walkers that could be taken out by a bunch of primitive Ewoks. Add the douchecanoe who decided that a single control panel, reachable only by hanging out on a ledge where nobody could guard it, could bring down an entire tractor beam system.
It *IS* ADA compliant. Look at Darth Vader. Fucker lost two legs, one arm, and could not breathe very well anymore. He seemed to run the Death Star just fine....
Not really. Anonymous either does it for the laughs, the "prestige", or just to release records that will increase government transparency or reveal corporate corruption.
Anonymous does not hack McDonald's and then demand that Toys R Us reduce the retail price of Barbie toys by 50%.
I'm not into the whole church thing. Too irrational and I think sci-fi is better story telling.
An hour is not enough to get the whorehouse from where I am, but plenty of time to get on the net, pants around my ankles, and hell to rationing the lube....
Google was like a fortune cookie. Instead of where you say your fortune with, "in bed", at the end, your search term includes, "with vagina" at the end.
Yeah.... like ones relating to the anus. Even a search term at work for an ailment can result in explicit images of some guys hairy nether regions. Somebody once told me they were leaving work early due to such and such. Silly me, I Googled it. In retrospect, I don't think I needed to know why they were leaving work.
The fact that Google is making it only accessible with more specific and restrictive search terms is not a bad thing at all.
Does Python taste good? I love alligator and rattlesnake meat. If you turned it into a business, and had meat packing plants shipping it cross country, there is a whole new industry.
You would have people attempting to grow them, but that takes awhile. Considering that, you would still have enterprising people searching the wild for them. Or as another poster referred to them, "The Hicks".
You would only be correct if I actually dropped the hard drive off with the police and initiated an investigation myself.
Whatever resources Law Enforcement expends on investigating me is entirely their responsibility. You could easily say the same thing if they were looking for drugs and you had 75,000 small plastic packets of flour.
Judges would only sentence you for contempt of court. In this particular case, whatever I could say to the FBI would not stop their behavior due to policy, and the Judge cannot find me in contempt of court simply for that. After all, I am actually cooperating by turning over the keys to the outer containers.
I could only be sentenced for obstruction of justice. Until they investigate me, I am a free man. If I want 1 million hours of strange files on my computer with offensive names, that is actually freedom. There is no law that says I can't possess that, or that I am liable if Law Enforcement expends more than X amount of resources attempting to prove my guilt.
or they'd just insert a porn clip in the middle and send you off to jail to get bum raped as a nonce, you wont feel so fucking smart then will you dickhead
Yeah, I would be the idiot to be the victim of corruption in Law Enforcement. When I am getting dry docked by Bubba in prison, I will lament not listening to some acerbic AC on Slashdot.....
The real, huge, hairy problem with that is universal availability.
Technically, I can send a SMS to a carrier customer through publicly available email gateways. Long ago, they stopped giving you delivery receipts. Without a confirmation, or knowing which carrier, I am forced to pay 2-5c per message for business purposes. Replete with all the complications of short codes, black lists, blah, blah, blah,
I would love to have a free service, more or less, with near universal installation on all smart phones and devices. It doesn't exist though.
Carriers are not stupid either. That's why they are moving to unlimited voice and unlimited txt messaging, but nailing you on the data charges. If we all move to data based service, that god forbid, is pull based, it will just increase our charges. IIRC, it was because Verizon published that their average revenue per customer was down significantly. So the move is not a surprise at all.
Any real service that has any chance of success is going to have to be P2P based like Skype and strongly encrypted. Perhaps even with local encryption being added with circles of trust, etc.
We still come back to the same problem though, which is universal availability. That's the one thing SMS has going for it, is that you know it will be on the device.
Considering that it is free, I would think the best idea possible would be exchanges of security information, and layer encrypted communications on top of SMS. Just base64 encode it, after you have the cipher text.
You could exchange one-time pad lists in person as well. That would really fuck up Law Enforcement's day in a hurry.
But.... once again we come back to the lovely fact that Law Enforcement can seize your phone and your data seemingly at will in violation of The Constitution. Especially in those nifty Constitution Free Zones that they have nearly everywhere now.
It's China and the special capitalism zones that they established. Oh yeah..... we are dedicated the Communist ideals..... but we are going to make some exceptions.
My favorite is the posts about how you create a hidden subdirectory with files that have child porn names like, "9yr_old_girl_first_time_anal". The FBI has to view the file, only to find a video with a 10 hour long loop of some hilarious shit like He-Man Master of the Universe in the gayest music video ever.
Of course, the real joke being the policy that the FBI has to actually inspect all 10 hours of a footage, lest some clever pedophile hide the video 2/3rds of the way in, interlaced in the frames like something from the movie Contact.
I figure wasting a TB on nested TrueCrypt containers, all with stuff of that nature, plus inane bullshit like cook books, could keep the FBI busy for months on end.... even if they got the keys from me.
Then of course I realize, the joke would also be on us. The FBI would go to the Senate and demand 50 billion dollars to increase their task force and processing power to actually comply with something so fucking ridiculous. We would pay for the joke in our taxes. It's not like they would learn anything, or get a clue right?
They weren't idiots any more than anyone else is. You demonstrate what such a weapon can do, and they wouldn't have used it either.
They would've used them all the time. Just giving them the weapons, and showing them the immediate results, is not enough to deter future use.
In order to stop they would need a complete understanding of the environmental impacts, advanced medicine, genetics, complex systems, etc.
Even right now you have morons who can't figure out, or believe, how small the world actually is and how a single nuclear event can have widespread, long lasting consequences. Same people who believe the world is too large, complex, and that the Jesus would not allow it to happen.
If Galileo had problems explaining the Earth revolved around the Sun, just how hard do you think it would be to really explain the consequences of such weapons to people who were wholly ruled by superstition?
Why not just run multiple machines? Use a multi-monitor setup with Linux and Windows 7. Synergy allows you use a single keyboard/mouse combo to operate both of them.
Using Linux as a guest usually precludes the ability to use multiple monitors.
What's wrong with dual-booting?
Also, nothing stops you from using RDP on a Linux machine to go into a Windows box and use it for whatever you need to do as well.
I am neither Republican, nor Democrat. He failed in his promises, and was supposed to be different than Bush.
Forgive my language, but I don't give two shits about Democrats, Republicans, and their arguments about socialism versus capitalism, etc.
My primary concern is about civil rights, and the checks and balances that are supposed to constrain government from turning into a police state.
Obama has failed to serve the interests of the American people, which is always our Freedom first. Without our Freedom, what the heck are we doing all of this for?
He betrayed us on FISA. There should have been an investigation, and multiple people should have gone to prison (or at least removed from their positions) for warrant less eavesdropping on American's conversations. The Telcos and the Intelligence Community conspired against American citizens to profoundly violate their civil rights and privacy.
He extended the Patriot Act, the single most abhorrent piece of legislation in United States history. It allows the Intelligence Community to strong arm companies into compliance, and if executives in the company dare complain, or make it public knowledge, they can end up in deep dark hole deprived of their freedom. Makes the Intelligence Community no better than the Stasi.
He has let the TSA run wild where if object to an invasive, humiliating search (how many women are on video in tears?), often doing things to children that would get you sent to prison, you can be arrested for trying to leave. Your a terrorist first and need to prove your innocence, just to leave.
There are numerous other opportunities that he had to support civil rights and swing the pendulum the other way, but instead, he has allowed the Constitution Free Zones to increase. If you are not aware of what those are, google them. It's basically a huge area around the borders of the US where they justify suspension of certain Constitutional rights in the name of national security. Guess what? A very significant percentage of Americans just happen to live within the zone. It's not like it is 10 miles around the border. It is much larger than necessary, if it could be argued to be so at all.
I could go on, but Obama has failed us in every conceivable way that is truly important. That whole Obamacare deal is nice and all, but that is basically a half-assed reach around after the deep dicking he pulled on us.
Slashdot Mirror
Cthulhu?
Really?
If your hamburger was mouthing off to you about there is no way you can guess its secrets, would you give two shits about it?
Of course not. Cthulhu would just eat you and destroy the entire contents of your house, as the meaningless trifles they are in his endless existence.
He would remember you no more than I remember the Jack In Box Cheeseburger I had 5 years ago.
I thought the same way you did. Then I saw the patronizing bullshit they were responding with for the serious questions regarding our rights and government corruption.

If your going to bring up history from a long long long time ago in a far far far away place at least be accurate.
It was that fucking Jar Jar Binks. He handed the Galactic Senate over to the dark side.
If that's not a real quote... you've got some skill there buddy. +5 funny.
Dude.... Seriously......
LOL.
It *IS* ADA compliant. Look at Darth Vader. Fucker lost two legs, one arm, and could not breathe very well anymore. He seemed to run the Death Star just fine....

What I think is even funnier is that you think it was a dude that told me his ailment, and that it sounded in any way related to the ass.
Hence, the surprise Google search.

I guess I'm the only one who read that as, "Monty Python" Florida Contest Offers Rewards...."
I've got a possible solution to that.....

Going after the supply works people. Just look at the hugely successful 40 year old War on Drugs.

It means it's the truth, but passed through a bureaucratic process, and still remained intact.
That's basically the grounds that were used to get media levies since blank media could possibly be used for piracy.
They weren't idiots any more than anyone else is. You demonstrate what such a weapon can do, and they wouldn't have used it either.
