  1. This is very bad for the U.S. healthcare insurance providers though who also have kids to feed, btw. What you hate kids and want them to starve to death is that it? No, like op said there's no reasonable plan available for a good healthcare system which will keep the healthcare insurance gravy train flowing and that therefore means THAT THERE IS NO REASONABLE PLAN! (emphasis there quite emphatically mine!)

  2. I absolutely effing love the way you write that screed, man! Keep going with it looks good on ya!

    I didn't read it as sarcasm so much as a call to action. Call your congress-critters, people and tell them backdoors are unacceptable on any terms.

    The "bad guys" will know enough to use unlegislatable open-source encryption methods only to further real crimes. Legislated back doors will be avoided by any criminal worth their salt.

    Legislated back doors are for the rest of us plebes who might cross over the line into threatening power. They are also even better for targeting politicians whose ideologies aren't in line with the status quo.

    Why can't people understand that?

  5. Law enforcement competence on FBI Director: Without Compromise on Encryption, Legislation May Be the 'Remedy' (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 1

    How in the world did law enforcement manage to do their jobs BEFORE they had massive amounts of metadata to drink from?

    And now they say they need the data too because without it we're not safe. So they're saying they were completely unable to execute law enforcement duties BEFORE the ability to massively spy on everyone became possible? How in the world did they EVER manage to catch any criminals?

    Horse shit. Completely & utter horse shit.

  6. Is the externalized cost of pollution included in the price of coal-generated electricity?

    We need to start seriously understanding ALL the costs, not just the design, manufacturing, and distribution costs.

    That's the sign of a mature civilization, IMHO.

  8. You don't need to be so gruesome about it. Vasectomies are a neat, effective, and tidy in-out procedure with the desired effects and without the visually obvious maiming. Also, testosterone can still be produced, preventing unnecessary altering of the physical traits of the male involved.

    Malware is completely unnecessary here. "Direct detection" is a term defined on page 2 of Challenges and Directions for Monitoring P2P File Sharing Networks – or – Why My Printer Received a DMCA Takedown Notice to be:

    "involves connecting to a peer reported by the tracker and then exchanging data with that peer" As opposed to:

    "Indirect Detection of infringing users relies on the set of peers returned by the coordinating tracker only, treating this list as authoritative as to whether or not IPs are actually exchanging data within the swarm."

    The indirect detection method only shows that a specified IP address was connected to the torrent swarm for the file in questions but it does not prove that particular IP address was sending any bits to the other peers.

  20. Re:FB should did it on Police Asked Facebook To Deactivate Woman's Account During Deadly Standoff (abc7.com) · · Score: 1

    I think what's going on here is that cops cannot be seen being defeated. This woman was sacrificed upon the alter of 'you will obey cops, OR ELSE'.

    If they would have went away then their jobs, as a whole, would be harder as other the animals on the farm learn that they can in some cases refuse the orders of the pigs. That type of thinking can NOT stand in the minds of any of the other animals on the farm.

    This woman was made herself an example. If the pigs show up at your door with a warrant you're not going to get your shotgun because you've seen this all before, and you therefore know how it's going to end.

    That's the name of the game here; it's similar to putting heads on sticks as a show of your superiority.

    The biggest gang WILL keep control. And they'll sacrifice any lives necessary to do it. Because if they don't another gang will. It's the law of the farm. And we are, after all, still animals.

    Well if gun manufactures and sellers can't be held to account for the dissemination of weapons used in murders then I don't see how communications providers can be held responsible for the part they unwittingly played in the facilitation of crimes.
