"Appeal to authority" is a logical fallacy. But pointing to a logical fallacy and using that as the sole reason to say that an argument is wrong is itself a fallacy: the "fallacy fallacy".
My own opinion here is that Linus is right. It's close to midnight, so I don't feel like backing that up with anything
This sounds like rotating shield frequencies every 10 seconds to keep the borg from adapting. I saw that episode of Star Trek: V'ger, they end up adapting
How convenient. The meaning of the law is inconvenient -- oh hey, I know! -- lets "interpret" it to mean something else. Yeah, that's not tyrannical or anything
That might be half your problem. Still, I see where you're coming from. On the other side of that, many technical schools are just degree mills. Lots of candidates come out of technical schools that look good on paper and then when you hire them, it's like they never attended a day of class or learned anything. I think companies have gotten burned there, which really sucks for the students that come out that are good, and it sucks for the technical schools that are good because now 'technical school' has a stigma.
so classifying ISPs as telecoms isn't some disaster that ISPs have never dealt with before. It would basically just make things the way they used to be pre-RIAA litigation.
well....ISPs used to be common carriers and had to provide net neutrality by default. The RIAA/MPAA didn't like that and were relegated to having to sue individuals for copyright infringement. So they lobbied to have ISPs not be common carriers. Once they got that, thanks to Comcast buying NBC and switching sides (so they can sue their competitors for copyright infringement), ISPs spent their money on high-powered hardware not for pushing traffic, but for doing deep-packet inspection so that they could comply with RIAA/MPAA requests (and whatever the government wanted from them as well) while the rest of the world was putting in bigger pipes.
Obama uses an iphone. That's why he lifted the ban on it. He didn't want the product that he uses banned. He doesn't use any of samsung phones, so he doesn't care about that one.
We're left with trying to news from multiple sources and trying to piece together the truth. Yes, Russia Today is a propaganda outfit. Do they do propagandize any more than Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN? The BBC? PBS?
We don't even know that Assad did it. Given that we know that the rebels have sarin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXzyS9eUVgs), this could be a false flag. And yet the post reads like it's a foregone conclusion that Assad did it.
I'm a US citizen that has lost patience with the American people. Anonymous Coward is exactly right. Where were the riots over this? The outrage just wasn't there. But then there are riots all over the U.S. over the Trayvon Martin verdict. Stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. And the media trying to make this a white vs black thing, even though George Zimmerman is hispanic. Zimmerman should probably go in the witness protection program and change his identity......and there you have it right there. The U.S. government really *is* a reflection of the American people. The American people do not respect rights and due process. So neither does the government. The American people are uninformed on The Constitution, so, like the American people, the government ignores it too.
What do I want to see from the people of the United States? idk, it seems like a lost cause. How many are even aware of the NSA spying? Do they care? They probably care more about Miley Cyrus 'twerking'.
A minority of Americans have woken up (Libertarians/Ron Paul crowd -- which is growing). Will it be enough to change the direction of the country? I hope so. Julian Assange is right about libertarianism being America's last hope.

Didn't go so well for Hemmingway.....
I really hate to say this, but it could technically work.
In the original matrix movies, the matrix and zion kept getting rebuild and they were already on their 6th generation or something.
So this could be the generation after
That said, I still think they shouldn't do it.
Very good point. Also, this article seems to only talk about Tor? Maybe people have switched to I2P?

same. my view is that voting for the establishment is "throwing my vote away" because it guarantees that nothing will change.
We know this by all the people who refer to Javascript as Java. You know who you are (#businesspeople).
When the reverse starts happening, I'll change my mind.
all fine and well, but if the U.S. currency crashes, expats will get hit hard with that tax.
Don't forget the government. They're the ones that make the loans possible.

I wonder if the cop gets a commission on those tickets....
It can't possibly be any worse than Detroit.

heh.
Should I be watching the BBC or PBS?

I guess the question then is did Turkish police really find 2kg of sarin gas and arrest the Syrian rebels who were transporting it?
We may never really know the truth on that. English-language sources:
http://rt.com/news/sarin-gas-turkey-al-nusra-021/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22720647
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/30/us-syria-crisis-turkey-idUSBRE94T0YO20130530
Spanish media did pick it up, so if you can read Spanish - http://www.abc.es/internacional/20130531/abci-sarin-siria-201305301816.html
Apparently Fox News also reports on this stuff, but only in Spanish:

Fuck patents on elliptical curve cryptography. Math should not be patented, period. Algorithms should not be patented.
