"what if he actually WAS planning on trying to make a bomb? Why should we wait until this person has actually killed potentially hundreds of people with a bomb or some similar device or act before acting against him?"
Yes of course we should wait till he commits an actual crime to charge him with one. But here i stupidly believe that one should have to commit an actual crime to go to jail. Of course i haven't been brainwashed by CSI and chuck bauer to believe that people are guilty until proven innocent. Fuck this "thought crime" stuff.
If he is indeed a danger, they could you know, gather real evidence, get a court order to tap his phones, etc. Then they should have no problem proving in court that he was meeting with terrorists, or buying supplies for bomb making or whatever. He could simply be researching a book or something! Saying he is definitely a terrorist based on a few files on his hard drive is making quite a leap that would have been an un thinkable position in the mid 90s, when MOST of us had a floppy disk with the anarchists cookbook on it. I don't believe that "times have changed". Freedom never goes out of style.
Id rather have thousands of innocent people getting killed (even if i was one of them), than have one innocent person going to jail for a crime they have not even committed. I am sure we all wrote crazy stuff in our diaries in middle school which could be taken out of context by the right government official. So if those thousand people survived, and I was one of them, would I want my children growing up in a world where people can be rounded up based on the contents of a text file and nothing more? Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils. Still the best American motto in my opinion.
"I just went through the Google registration process. The whole article is a lie, of course; as you would expect from any Microsoft associated publication; your Google+ account is only activated later on by explicitly signing up. "
Perhaps, but I would not be surprised if they did this. I used to have a youtube account. At a point, i was forced to get a google account as youtube was purchased by google. I dont consent to anything google does, but you need a google account to have access to ANY of their services. Even ones which had their own account previously. Also they seem to have specifically changed their forum so that you are easily tricked into signing up for a google account. That is exactly how they started with youtube accounts, asking people to associate it, before they determined that they were just going to roll them all into a google account several months later.
"as usual recently the first post is someone who manages to get Microsoft sponsored lies into place"
Don't you know? Google is the new microsoft round here. Microsoft is an angel compared to the shit google pulls these days.
My guns and knives may not the be the safest things I own, but they're far from the most dangerous thing I'm around regularly.
All the things you listed are tools with their primary use being legitimate. A circular saw, can be used to cut up bodies, but it is primarily used for sawing wood. Same deal with a car. A gun however is designed to shoot out small metal bits which rip through soft tissues. This is the primary use for firearms. To hurt or kill living tissues - humans or animals. Of course if you live in the country, it is legitimate use to carry a gun for protection from bears and the like. In the city though? You are pushing it to say that there is a legitimate defence based use for any firearms.
Here in canada guns are mostly not used in violent crime, unless there are gangs involved. I personally have been held up at gunpoint once about 10 years ago, but if I had a gun of my own, what could I have done? Got into a shooting match like counterstrike? Much more likely I would be dead now, rather than just missing 40$ from my wallet and a cel phone.
That all said, if I lived in america, I probably would own a gun. Because people down there are fearful and violent. Its kind of like somalia or Afghanistan. There are valid countries for sure where carrying a firearm is necessary. I think the USA might be one of them, but thats more of a cultural problem. I can't say for sure that it is because of the easy availability of guns that causes it, but it does seem likely.
"There are some big names on the left side of the aisle supporting this too."
Really? Ralph Nader supports it? Bernie sanders does? Noam Chomsky?
Or by left do you mean "american democrat", which hopefully you are aware is no where near a left wing viewpoint. There are very few public officials in the US who have actual left wing views. The democrats are the exact same as republicans when it comes to putting corporations above people. You need more people like mr sanders.
"Your friends are not James Bond, nor are they Nelson Mandela or leaders of a peaceful but misunderstood resistance force. This is not the end-times, nor are you or your friends protagonists in any global drama. You are boring."
Want a concrete example? The vancouver 2011 hockey "riot". The police were able to troll facebook and identify people who were there at the time of the riot. Those people were then rounded up and arrested. I would like to think that only "criminals" were caught in this dragnet, but that is a big assumption.
So you could have theoretically been walking around downtown that day, say wearing the same clothes as a rioter in one photograph, and another shows someone with the same clothes as you smashing a window with their back towards the camera. Just try and disprove that in court.
Sure it could still happen without social networking, but this makes it an order of magnitude easier . Especially if you have some "friends" (or indeed friends of friends) who want to be a god damn righteous vigilante. Lord knows there is enough of those people!
Anyone who has a facebook account is fucking stupid. Anyone who uses their real name online is pretty dim in my opinion. What the heck happened to the rules of the BBS?? People are no longer taught properly. I think we need an internet drivers license, but its already far far too late.
"We all like "free" stuff, and ads are what make the "free" world tick."
I guess thats why all open source software, websites like wikipedia, are ad supported. Oh wait, they are not.
Advertising is a sick cancer on the mind. ALL advertising should be banned, and we should move to an unbiased review model of product promotion.
It is not my problem if you don't want to fundraise to keep your site afloat. Thats how the millions of non profits in the world survive. That my eyes should be ejaculated on by the sticky putrid spawn of the nazi's and edward fucking bernays, I will NOT take as a given, to state matter-of-factly as you have above.
"When you flood the market with garbage, people assume that ALL of your products are that bad"
Its funny because i mentioned that to a few executives and marketing people from HP in regards to their laptops. I told them that the paint on the keys was horrible, and that I have seen laptops which had only 6 months of use where the keys were completely worn away. I said that because of that I would never think about buying an HP laptop for my company.
Their response? "those are CONSUMER hp laptops, not business models" and "our business models use different ink on the keys". To which I said, well most peoples experience of laptops is the ones that employees bring in for repair, or their friends have. So for the cost of a few extra dollars for better keys, they have sacrificed peoples perception and negatively impacted their brands.
Yes we should force our employees to swim through toxic water so that production doesn't slip this quarter. THAT is the kind of society that we should be trying to create. Hopefully the west can work smarter, and not just more dangerously as you seem to be advocating.
Im sure they have wonderful medical plans to deal with the employee getting sick as well.
Apple doesn't make "simple" tools. They make locked in proprietary unintuitive un-interoperable "solutions" which are wrapped in gobs of marketing so that they stick in peoples brains. That they are simpler to use is purely a marketing invention. There is a learning curve which is the same as any other OS.
These poorly designed tools, manufactured in china by the lowest bidder will barely last their projected 1-3 year lifetimes. Apple then forces you to buy their crap hardware with little to no other options. Enforced with litigation as a defence for anyone who dares to try and make a hackintosh, or other hack to use decent hardware in them. On top of all that, you are paying a premium for all this!
A good tool is versatile, durable and dependable. Apple meets NONE of these requirements. You are locked in, on crap quality hardware with forced upgrades and cant even be guaranteed your software from 5 years ago will run on current machines.
"Gas is still selling at $3.50 a gallon (or whatever the price is in your neighborhood). The price will only come down when people actually stop buying it, not when people just complain about it."
LOL. gas prices will not come down, hahahaha! The only reason gas prices briefly came down was because of the global depression which we entered in 2008, which briefly curtailed all the speculation in the futures market. People will never stop buying gasoline. Just like people will never stop buying storage of some sort. These are not luxury items, and are both tied quite heavily into all sectors of business.
Gas can only go up my friend. And 3.50/gal = 1$ per litre which is already ridiculously cheap. Your gas is cheaper than the price of water in most countries.
"Potentially attacked means an incident occurred, but you aren't sure if it is a specific, targeted attack or just an incident of random infection."
I guess you have never looked through your logs, or run an IDS system in your place of work or home. Attacks are literally happening all the time. The amount of people guessing passwords on an ftp, or simply throwing php exploits at your webserver can be tens or hundreds of IP addresses a day.
This is a joke, or else they don't understand the meaning of "potential" attack.
I am all for disclosing when a company or organization gets legitimately hacked. But potential attacks? that would be literally thousands of lines of log files daily, even on a home connection.
"My local paper of record (the San Diego Union-Tribune) REQUIRES a valid Facebook account to comment on everything they publish online."
Awwww.. Now you can only comment on thousands of other non broken message boards! the horror!
The only people that use facebook are people who did not grow up learning that you should NEVER use your real name online. I have managed perfectly fine without a facebook account and stating that you *need* one is just laughable.
Personally, I would rather leave the world wide web than post my real name and picture online. Facebook is vanity pure and simple.
"Ever heard of PGP? I have put my PGP fingerprint on my business card, now every person that I meet is able to send me email,"
I assume you mean "every person which has PGP installed and knows how to use it". I am curious what percentage of the people who email you DO use pgp. The last time i tried out PGP (years ago), the sender had to have it installed on their machine. To me that means that 90% of people will not be able to send you mail. For instance, does the gmail web client support PGP?
Of course this depends on the circles you run in and such. I would think though that say convincing your bank or credit card company to send you a PGP email would be met with at best blank stares, and most likely terror and confusion. Until it is standard in every email client with a one click interface, you might as well tell people that they can contact you using TOR for all the good it will do!
Feel free to prove me wrong, as I have only met one or two people who actively use PGP on their emails.
Well obviously you need to make your case a bit better then. It takes a few minutes to send a fax, but a few seconds to send an email. Wastes paper, etc.
The problem is yes, that everyone is stubborn to technological change. You overcome that by changing the procedure. Generally all you have to do is convince a few key people in any corporation and you can change any procedure - for better or worse.
I assume you know all this. But never underestimate the power of a well researched and passionate suggestion to a few key management people. Human inertia easily gets steamrolled by new proceedures all the time. The users bitch, but in the end adapt. A year later they will thank you for it, but you have to be creative to get long entrenched procedures changed. One of the best things you can do with an IT management role.
"Under Liberty, the state's sole function is to prevent criminal exploitation, not provide security nor prevent the stupid from doing stupid stuff by punishing the smart (under current government practices"... "What has happened is Liberty has been forgotten and therefore Capitalism has been corrupted by those that would exploit it for their own benefit. The state is failing its primary purpose"
So are you for or against "cheque cashing services" which charge like 39% interest on their loans. Perfectly legal, but is that an exploit of the desperate?
You see its all fine and dandy to talk theoretically about liberty and the state, but when one provides concrete examples things get more murky. Which is why we have so many byzantine laws out there.
But to your point, I do not know if you would be for or against cheque cashing services. Personally I would consider 39% interest to be criminal. The bible agrees with me morally (as one example; see 'usury'). Does that mean that the state should decide minimum interest rates? I would say yes, but I have a feeling you would say no.
Its not as simple as you make it out to be with your cut and dry academic concepts. You cant just yell "liberty, liberty" and expect anyone but the most weakly minded to blindly agree with you.
so in 1974 the world hit 4 billion. which was 14 years after it hit 3 billion. It has continued on in that fashion, a billion every ~15 years or so. Which means 9 billion is aprox 2050. But im sure we will have some sort of war by then to correct the trend.
Is your position then that he should go on being complicit instead of say, recognizing the errors of the western world and trying to make amends by advocating a contrary position on the internet?
But I am sure if he did that some pro corporate internet prick would come along and accuse him of being a hypocrite for *implicitly* supporting the destruction of the environment, tens or hundreds of years before he happened to be born in the same region.
You really have his number all right! we should all just sit back let corporations ruin the environment, because hey, we are using computers and computers are um.. made from the environment? How dare he voice his concerns using tools developed with modern technology! He should be screaming out the windows like I am! Hey who let that bird in here?!?
See it makes sense! Everyone is responsible so you should feel bad, keep it to yourself and do nothing! thats the sure way to a better world!
I wish! If obama was like apple, he would have already:
- Forced through all the laws he wanted without debate - Locked everyone into a government mandated healthcare store - Told anyone that disagreed with him that they were "living the wrong way" - Lowered life insurance policy terms to 90 days, and when people complained, offered to sell them "extended" life insurance for hundreds of dollars a year - Brutally suppressed anyone who dared post a picture of any infrastructure under construction - Turned everyone gay
"where the amount of currency in the system (and hence its value) is controlled by a computer. The computer simply raises the tax rate in order to "destroy" currency and prevent inflation"
Whenever someone proposes that something complicated or unmanageable by human standards should be controlled by a computer, I cannot help but read the whole sentence in Dr Strangelove's voice. Which of course makes it instantly hilarious.
I think my brain does this because people still don't get the fact that computers are just as fallible as man. They are after all, programmed by us. Computer control is NOT the answer and any system which would rely on it in a "savior" like way, is not one that I would 'bank' on. (heh)
"I always wondered why the assumption was genocide, when human communities tend to favor marriage to members of adjacent groups"
Seeing as most early religions of the region are based on Zoroastrianism, with its inbuilt duality. I have surmised for years that this was caused by the "us" and "them" mentality from these sorts of "species wars". This finding is also quite interesting as it pretty much declares that africans are the only real "homo sapiens" on the planet.
Personally, I have a cranial ridge and other "Neanderthalish" features. As do many people you see on the street, so I have always assumed interbreeding was the norm not the exception.
Oh grow up... - when your food prices start going up, or - the bank charges a mysterious fee, - you suddenly can't find work. -your wages stagnate while the cost of living continues to increase.
Check, check, check and check. Oh was that not a checklist?
So now that we have established that we are currently "abused" and that the corporations are currently "laughing the hardest", can we now start complaining about it? Or do we have to wait till we're in our 60s when we "grow up" and are too fucking old for anyone to care about our complaints anyways!
god damnit I hate corporate apologists. I don't use netflix so this debate his little baring on me personally, but complaining is how shit gets fixed. Compliance and acceptance are what they are hoping you will do. A good compliant consumer.
Yes of course we should wait till he commits an actual crime to charge him with one. But here i stupidly believe that one should have to commit an actual crime to go to jail.
