All you need to do as add denim shirts to your wardrobe. Just throw one on and leave it unbuttoned and untucked. Get the kind with a pocket so you can carry a couple of pens and a 6" steel ruler.
That attitude is what caused the Navy and the Air Force to purchase the F-4 Phantom: The first fighter that only had stand-off weapon (missiles).
After MIGs started shooting them (using their on-board guns) out of the skies like so many pigeons, the error of the brass's stupid fucking idea sunk in and started the mad rush to produce gun pods for the Phantoms.
A fighter that's out of missiles is also defenseless.
The F-4 was the reason that the F-8 Crusader is also known as, "Mig Master" and "The Last of the Gunfighters." The F-8 Crusader had the best kill ratio of the Viet Nam War.
That would imply that the government is ruled by law rather than the arbitrary decisions of a few "top men".
But since we know that to be true, I guess we can all sing like the Who: Won't Get Fooled Again (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Won%27t-Get-Fooled-Again-lyrics-The-Who/761EF79AAB42FA9C48256977002E72F9)
I'm just wondering when the revolution begins. I don't think that the younger generation realize how dire the situation really is since most of them have less than a zero's interest in history. If they'd even take the time read music lyrics that were being sung 50 years ago, they'd easily see that things are even worse now than they were before.
What a stupid idea it was to go down that path. Now that the idiots in the us gov't have opened pandora's box, I'm sure we'll all soon have the opportunity to see the code up close and personal.
"an ICE spokesman says the intent isn't to deter piracy but to educate the public that pirating DVDs and Blu-rays allows you to skip the bullshit and get right to the movie."
Speaking as a one who has run through 20 or so names since 1970 (yeah, way back then, using a teletypewriter->IBM mainframe message system), I fully agree with you.
Many people with more knowledge than you frequently use SSH tunneling through semi-private servers for certain tasks. As for browser fingerprint, those services that are specifically designed for privacy/anonymity (NB) remove those characteristics. You've also forgotten the extensive fan bases of Adblock Plus and NoScript. Advertisers know less about everyone than you think. Of course, there are always people who don't worry about anonymity or aren't familiar enough with the idea (despite their grandchildren's best efforts).
If you're leaving tracks, it's because you are not diligent enough to mask them. You can probably find a goodly number of google hits for me, but only at a few sites. And I'll bet you can't tie me to any of the several psuedonyms I've used for a period and then discarded since I registered on Slashdot many years ago. Only for this nice, low UID, do I still use TrentTheThief.
Look to that cellphone tower as the first steps toward getting some form of wifi to everyone. It's not going to be instant, but it's a hell of a lot faster than electricity rolled out. I remember houses in the rural area outside of my hometown that had handpumps in the yard and the kitchen, and outhouses. Some didn't have electricity and phone, or water. Now they have power, phone, water, and city sewage treatment.
It's a large country and big infra changes don't happen quickly.
Don't look at those infrastructure costs as permanent hits against the telcos. They're going to amortize the hell out of those costs, and, we're going to pay for it anyway. They won't lose any money.
Both works for me. The only reason more people don't have fiber where verizon has a presence is due to political backscratching and business BS from the existing cable company that offers internet services.
I say, me give me bandwidth, or get the hell out of the way of someone who will.
It may not DL an entire movie, but it could grab a significant chunk of it and let you watch it without jitter or pixelation, and then DL the next chunk when you have a few minutes of video from the previous chunk.
The copyright holders are going to whine and moan no matter how it's done, so the best thing is to ignore them and do it the right way. It's just as easy to capture a streamed movie as it is one that arrive as a single piece. The thing they need to get over is that once people can rely on having a resource available to them on the net, there's less motivation for them to hoard it on a local drive. If movies only cost a couple dollars, were stored on some upstream server farm that would shoot it down to me on demand, I'd buy a hell of a lot more movies. I'd bet that many other people would, too.

Man, I absolutely love A-10's. The best damned purpose-built aircraft I've ever seen.
Do you remember the shit storm when it was time to let another contract to build more? The press called it an expensive pork barrel project. Idiots.

Okay. Class is over.
Leave them behind when the rest of us get the chance to leave this mudball.
I agree with you. I might need to skip some things for a few months, but it'll be worth it.
Twice, actually. But I ran away and no one knew.

When does the shooting start?

ICE: what a bunch of maroons.
Can you think of anything else as plain? If you do a google search for mike adams, you'll find that there are literally thousands of them.
Well, holy shit. I just did a search for Trentthethief. Who else has been using this nickname? Damn it.
I guess it was inevitable. Now I need to consider whether or not to continue with it.
Ah, yes. I see. Thanks for expanding on that.

You're sadly mistaken, youngster.

Oh? An with a pseudonym is not expected to last?
How long you've been using "Opportunist?" Your statement would have had more impact if your UID was 8 digits.
No, the article is specifically speaking about sentient beings, not parasitic worms.
Have you looked at Norman Security Suite?
Idiot fingers conspire with sleepy mind to click the wrong reply to this.

The same way I pay for mine. Monthly.

Absolutely not.
I say light up the whole damned continent. If not with fiber, then at the very least with fast wifi or ethernet.
