  1. So they don't get our crypto! on Could Tech Have Stopped ISIS From Using Our Own Heavy Weapons Against Us? · · Score: 1

    Our general rule of thumb regarding radios and communications equipment... Zero it out if it's going to fall into the hands of the enemy (there's a button for that.) If you don't have time to zero it out, we were also provided an axe to smash the radio if need be. (If current or future crypto, changed weekly, fell into enemy hands-- they could listen to our communications.) Obviously smashing it to bits with an axe is a last resort measure, but... It was a measure.

  2. And the links on MuckRock on Two Years of Data On What Military Equipment the Pentagon Gave To Local Police · · Score: 1

    Are already down (to the pdf files of the agencies...) I wonder if they already got a takedown request from our friendly neighborhood federal government.

  3. Didn't read all the posts... on Viability of Mobile Broadband For Home Use? · · Score: 1

    But I probably violated Verizon's ToS by not paying for NationalAccess or whatever the heck it's called + the extra 70$ a month for the card by reflashing my HTC phone... Reasonable speeds, up to 200kB download with good signal. No limit because I was using the phone's "Unlimited Access" and I would download probably 10 gigs a week in streaming videos and the like.

  4. Re:Tried Linux? on Hostile ta Vista, Baby · · Score: 1
  5. Re:What, no IBM keyboards?! on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    I had an old keyboard that made me angry for some reason, (I think I stubbed my toe on it, was a heavy mother...) So I went to a friend's place, and we grabbed his shotgun and popped a few rounds off at it. The slugs didn't even penetrate the keyboard... Only dented some metal in the middle. Guessing that was an IBM, it was from a Windows 3.2 era or so.
