  1. Grandstanding on Yahoo's Delay in Reporting Hack 'Unacceptable', Say Senators (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm having trouble finding specific timelines for this, but from the sounds of it the breach began two years ago and they only recently discovered and disclosed it.

    So these esteemed *barf* senators are upset that it took so long to notice the breach? Were they that upset when it was discovered the the government run OPM database had been compromised for YEARS?

    Political grandstanding by a bunch of useless dipshits.

  4. Poor people live in urban areas. Urban areas have fast broadband because it's easy and cheaper per residence to run more lines in high density population zones. It's farmers who have slow internet because they live in the boonies.

    You don't have a clue, do you?

  5. So it's more important to spend millions of dollars getting high speed internet to some cabin in the mountains for a hermit who doesn't even want it, than to provide higher speed for 1000 people in an urban area?

    That's just plain stupid. You're a Democrat, aren't you.

    Let me get this straight. The things that made the Soviet Union a threat were:

    1. Having a nuclear arsenal
    2. Having a large army with a history of regular use
    3. Being involved in many regional conflicts
    4. An interest in dominating the world
    5. Propping up friendly regimes

    Ummmm, sound like anybody else you know?

    Who watches the watchers? Who enforces the rules against the people who make the rules? The US has one of the largest percentages of its citizens in prison, yet our "leaders" get away with just about anything. And you want to talk about fairness?

    He may be guilty under our legal system, but as many people are starting to understand a legal system and a justice system are not the same thing. If we had a justice system, the Bushes and Clintons would be in prison and Guccifer would be free. People like this should be considered heroes for exposing the criminals that lay claim to positions of leadership. The legal (not justice) system that those criminal leaders have set up are designed to keep themselves wealthy and powerful, and people like Snowden and Guccifer threaten their wealth and power.

    What does profit have to do with it?

    Most people drive to work everyday to profit from their jobs. Are they paying for their profit?

    If you want to pay for things related to roads, build it into a gas tax. Stop trying to hide things in various taxes that hit affect special interest groups differently, that's how loopholes come to be. Special interests getting favors from government.
