So, you try to argue against Reagan's storied history of anti-civil-rights actions with some of his pro-civil-rights words.
Maybe to you, words just speak louder than actions? That could explain a lot actually. Maybe if FDR had spoken about how much he wanted to defend the rights of Japanese-Americans while putting them in camps you would have seen him as a civil rights supporter.
Well I had to work late and have to sleep real bad but I couldn't let the night go by with no content. So here's my section on the Reagan administration.
WILLFULLY IGNORANT IDEOLOGUES, LOOK AWAY! THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON UNDENIABLE HISTORICAL FACTS WHICH CANNOT BE INVALIDATED BY CALLING THEM PROPAGANDA OR LIES BECAUSE THEY WILL STILL BE UNDENIABLE HISTORICAL FACTS.
BTW, do you own any German or Japanese products? If so, how do you feel about supporting the Nazi regime or Japanese empire? They both have long histories of atrocious behavior you know...
Yeah we need a legacy interface to fall back on when the new stuff that apparently gets little to no testing doesn't work. I usually use the JS interface but it's buggy as shit. I think I only tolerate it because of my development experience.
Sounds mean but it has to be said. Some of the stories over the last year or two have had blatant errors in the summary (one was even in the title, about some incident at a nuclear plant), I remember at least a few troll stories that got through, it's shameful. It seems like the posters are often putting more effort into the posts than the editors are putting into the articles.
I was imagining a grand public funeral with legions of Apple fans in white and chrome robes lining the streets in a procession that could be seen from space. I bet Jobs has a casket design drawn up. You know he does.
When the loonies show up the iFans would simply form a human blockade, standing with their ceremonial iSwords in front of them, forcing the loonies to protest in a tiny speck of an area that is nothing compared to the rest of the ceremony.
Anything contrary is propaganda plain and simple. So push your bullshit all you want. Its a lie and nothing will ever change that. Cite other propagandists all you want - it still does not change the fact that it is propaganda. Make sense to your simple little mind ?
I don't see how that would help, there are VPNs that can mimic HTTP/HTTPS...I've even run one like that over a GPRS connection which doesn't allow streams by its very nature.
If you don't have a type a key into the phone at an early bootloader stage to get it to boot up (or at least enter a key to access your user data), it's just a resource-intensive obfuscation scheme...
Um...how is this any different? The only real difference between encrypted and unencrypted connections as far as an intercepting party is concerned is that one makes sense while the other looks like garbage. If you wrote an AJAX app that used PKI to do encryption at the application layer there would only be slight technical differences in the traffic going through that firewalls could easily be modified to pick up on.
The difference is that you can run Scandisk (fsck equivalent) on a FAT/FAT32/NTFS partition (at least in Windows) while it's mounted. Linux filesystems don't allow for this - and IIRC fsck won't let you check a FAT filesystem while it's mounted either.
I think you are...if you try to perform a check on a totally unmounted TC partition it will look like a blank hard drive full of garbage. If you mount the partition (device mapped to/dev/mapper/whatever, then/dev/mapper/whatever mounted on/media/whatever) then obviously you can't fsck it or you'd destroy it. If you unmount/media/whatever and try to fsck/dev/mapper/whatever, the partition is still unrecognizable to fsck (and fdisk, and gparted...).
They could theoretically block everything but 80 and MITM any SSL connections (or did that cert get removed from IE yet?) to check those too, to prevent VPN connections that mimic HTTPS connections (real thing) and VPNs running over port 80 using deep-packet inspection. They'd also have to check for VPN over DNS (also, real thing). Short of this it's impossible to block VPNs.
Even then, you could run a VPN over a steganographic connection. In practice I find port 80 is the best - it's never failed me so far. 443 is a good option too, in fact a better option in theory, but keep in mind that a few mobile internet providers in 3rd world countries block 443.

1980 - Ronald Reagan is elected, partly on a "state's rights" platform - at the time that phrase was a euphemism for allowing states to return to segregation, but Reagan's use of the phrase is controversial. Understanding what Reagan meant will be left as an exercise to the reader. Keep in mind that he always claimed that he was totally not racist and was deeply offended by such accusations.
During his presidency Reagan did not support the women's rights movement or any blacks' civil rights issues, except in his extensions to the Voting Rights Act (which he had verbally opposed beforehand) and Fair Housing Act. He opposed the establishment of MLK day and was only forced to sign it into law by a veto-proof majority. He considered the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act to be unconstitutional, and tried to veto the Civil Rights Restoration Act but was overridden. He also supported South Africa's apartheid regime and considered Jefferson Davis a personal hero of his.
I encourage anyone not familiar with those various acts to look them up, all conveniently linked within.
BTW, do you own any German or Japanese products? If so, how do you feel about supporting the Nazi regime or Japanese empire? They both have long histories of atrocious behavior you know...
If there wasn't a groupthink problem before we'd definitely have one after that...

Better quality editing.

LMAO! XD
Oh jeez, actually this is kind of sad.

Oh yeah, I think I understand now...
Hey a shipping container would be a great housing. Doesn't stand out, does the job.
But I'll believe this when some details come out and other scientists get a look at it.
Sometime you might try skepticism about skepticism.
I see it as an abundance of skepticism coupled with a lack of scientific knowledge. Same with the cigarettes.
True, depends how many data centers the government is willing to build...
I don't see how that would help, there are VPNs that can mimic HTTP/HTTPS...I've even run one like that over a GPRS connection which doesn't allow streams by its very nature.

OpenVPN has a mode that can mimic HTTPS, but even then it isn't foolproof.
He's assuming that Iran is doing seriously deep packet inspection on everything. Which in theory is a good assumption, but in practice rarely happens.
Could be just that I'm horribly impatient :-P
I've been meaning to set some time aside an set up the CSSU on mine...
Yep it was the latest one in extras-devel that I had that problem with.

Overrated! Oooh, the spooks are onto me! How exciting!

You're absolutely right - in theory. In practice, not so much. I addressed this point below:

I run my VPN server on port 80.
