The sun puts out a million more watts per hour on the surface of earth then USA uses in 1 year.
Oil is energy from the sun at one point. Everything that we do, have, build or create has its roots with the sun. All of life uses solar energy to build itself and survive.
and what are we going to when all the oil is gone genius?
I love the way a institutional failure that has going on for many presidents and also inculdes the courts and congress is just brushed aside so you can ignorantly attack one man.
Your not part of the solution, your part of the problem
not to mention HTTPS breaks this tatic completely, or anything with end to end encryption...so even if for some odd reason they are able to compromise a good portion of enter and exit nodes to make the study they still will only get BS because the internet is rapidly heading towards https and encryption standards. Only real idiots would be caught using this and frankly, i dont concern myself with stupid people.
while i tend to agree with this guy, he makes claims and doesn't back them up with anything. Kinda shitty for a MIT professor...i highly doubt he would let any student write a report about something and then not prove it, yet he thinks he can write a article and not prove anything. I am interested in knowing if we really dropped bombs on damns in N korea, and i would like to read more about it, as he put it, but his lazy ass didnt provide any links...so much for references
Point is, without anything backing up his claims and me to lazy to go do the research myself i am putting him in the possible crackpot category. Next time mr professor, practice what you preach
i just set my background to rain, sleet, snow and hail and sent a e-mail to myself after each one, i got a 100% success rate so i assume that its just a given anymore, if your a mail man delivering mail, digital or otherwise, your going to go through some shitty weather.
Like most security breaches, it is not the brilliance of the hacker, its the stupidity of the admin who created the system. If its done right you cannot assume the roll of any identity other then your own.
but keep blaming the 'brilliance of snowden' and not the stupidity of your system, dumb asses....i fail to see why anyone is scared of a agency this incompetent.
There is not a 'small amount of drugs' but a whole shit load of them in varying quantity. 1g gram of pot to 1lb. Same goes with ectasy, shrooms, etc...For the most part you can find anything you want there and the amount.
If its a molehill, that hill is the staging area for the last battle on the war on drugs.
as far as child porn and sex slavery, silk road doesn't allow shit like that on there.
yes we enforce are shitty system even on the internet. Just remember, if you are talking to someone from America then you must assume you are in america despite where you are at. Metric system might be easier and smarter, but we are Americans and well fuck you for trying to make us learn a simpler and better system.....we like are shitty systems to stay.
just like are shitty corporations, banks, healthcare system and horrible politicians.
The passwords where hashed and salted, making them hard to crack and probably worthless, the same goes with the CC numbers. Its really a step up in security compared to other recent security breaches with other company's. I was glad to see that this company thought ahead and planned for a breach...The article doesnt mention how the breach happened and it doesn't mean that it was the company's fault.
Passwords are good if you know how to use them, biometric has the same disadvantage as a physical key does, it physically exists. While it doesnt realy matter for a game, but if i was hiding some truly secret information, i wouldn't hide it behind my fingerprint. A password in my head couldn't be compromised as nobody can read my mind.
One thing i will say is, this article makes a huge fucking leap trying to associate organized crime with online games, it talks as if they suddenly sprang into existence with online games. Clearly the person writing the article has a bias against online games and are attempting to discredit them.
on the same coin, just because your paranoid doesn't mean your worth spying on. You must ask yourself a honest question, is your life in any way meaningful enough for the surveillance state to spy on? While i could be wrong, my general thoughts on that is no, there is few people worth spying on and your conversation with your mother, or even your drug dealer is not exactly what they are looking for.
In a way this surveillance is a boon to anyone who wants to hide anything. They collect so much info that i cant imagine it would be easy to sift through. With a little bit of technology you can hide anything you want, from anyone you want.
Lets just assume your a international terrorist/child trafficker and on the side you move massive drugs through the borders, you know for extra money. If your face looks like everyone else then its just noise like everything else. If all your activity's are hidden in encrypted containers and on the dark web, they cant spy on that if you are smart and do simple things like disable javascript and encrypt your shit with strong passwords.
My point is this isnt going to catch anyone who knows what they are doing, it will only weed out the dumb ones and leave everyone else under the mercy of people who truly know what they are doing, all this is political posturing so they can tell there voters, "see im tough on terrorism, drugs, and i protect the children." In the end, they are making everyone else unsafe.
We are going from the digital/information age to the surveillance age, learn how to use the many many many tools to keep from prying eyes and well, they wont be watching you because they cant, they will be watching only the face you put on.
it was fascism, communism and now terrorism, who knows what the next ism will be...seems to me they dont need another, terrorism seems to be more successful at destroying our rights then communism or fascism ever did.
The CEO, AKA the leader, tells all management that its missing leadership with a capital L. Im sure he showed real leadership impulsively firing someone in-front of everyone else. O ya, id follow that guy... no where
As with most CEO's his ego is bigger then his brain................alot bigger.
Unless of course your a multi billion dollar corporation, then laws, regulation and taxes dont apply.
And Regan was a idiot who led our country in a age where poverty is increased (and still is) at a astronomical rate, ironically the rich got richer at a equal rate.
"Actually I make a very big deal about the second amendment because I care so much about the other amendments. The second is the last line of defense in the protection of the others. It is the only amendment that gives the people a physical recourse should the three branches of government fail to up hold the Constitution."
I am so tired of such a stupid fucking argument
Do you think your little machine gun is going to protect you from invisible drones? napalm? and many other version of death of above. USA military is by far the strongest military in the world, it makes syrias look like those firework tanks. Look what kind of problems they are having; no amount of guns going to protect you from the USA military, for that be certain and stop believing such stupid propaganda.
No revolution is going to stop this, even if you had a large enough brain to start one. Most it would do is get you killed (better for the gene pool) and make a good 80-90% of our country's citizens starve and throw the world into chaos;
Maybe you can get a chia-brain and start growing one. Just add water, probably do you loads of good.
Grow up and start getting involved and more important, get educated. Its dumbasses like you that voted people in that put us in this situation in the first place. And no im not talking about the President, this kind of shit happens because of idelogoical dumbasses in congress giving feel good blowjobs to people like you so you will listen to there stupidity and vote with your boner up and no blood to the brain. This leads to congress feeling comfortable enough in there seats that they can vote for power and money, not for the good of the people.
you want to make change, get to the streets or get into politics and force change. Shooting a automatic rifle at some cop driving down the street to start a revolution might help humanity in the long run with the removal of such stupidity in the collective pool, but in the short run and medium run you compound the problem and make the government want to do more shit like this.
well you could leave the back door in, so they may just outlaw removing government approved code. Of course, this defeats the purpose of open source, however, that thinking is not anymore retarded then forcing a backdoor in every device.
Well ya, that was my point, i was trying to be a little sarcastic about it...But realy, the guy didnt tell us any earth shattering news and to use tor to tell us what we already know is well a little pointless. Then it to get so much traction, that was more the story then the story.
"The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere, it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above what it would be in the absence of the gases"
So that wasnt very hard, i didnt spend much time and if wikipedia is wrong, and thats always a possibility, you should easily be able to prove me wrong by providing some source better then wikipedia...that to shouldnt be hard.
In the end your right that the windows block radiation in Both directions, both in and out of the car, but stuff still goes in but doesnt come out...unless you crack a window, while maybe you didnt intend to prove my point...you did just that.
Mars is not hot because mars doesnt have a atmosphere to trap heat, it lacks CO2...infact, if we where to do what what we are doing to our current planet to mars, then we could teraform it to a habitial planet, it needs greenhouse gasses because the suns radiation leaves mars to easy...thats why mars is cold.
Yes mars air is mainly CO2, but its very thin, so it has little effect, unlike Venus who also has the same composition but has a much thicker atmosphere, more CO2 crammed together. Here, i cared enough to go to wikipidea to explain why mars is not hot
It is a very bad thing to be cutting down trees, we need them to take the CO2 and convert it to oxygen, and your right burning 90 million barrels a day is not going to stop, but it needs to, if we want a livable planet it then we need to change that, and how do we do that? well we use alternative energy and stop letting the oil company's rule the day.
Also, if you think that we cant use solar power to power our shit, then just understand this. The entire life on our planet is ran by the sun, all the energy that you consume in a day, that everything in the whole planet consumes in a day is ran by the sun, just because we are not as efficient as plants doesnt mean we cant be, it requires us to study and try things out and experiment, it requires money and effort but i promise you that it can be done because well, look around, you wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for the energy that the plants can convert.
We need the shift, your answer is to just not do anything, but lets just suppose that global warming is not real and we dont need to change. Imagine in 30 years paying 20.00 a gallon because oil is runing out, at that point you would be wishing that 30 years ago someone got working on other energy ways, but since they didn't now the world is going to collapse, if we lost oil without having a replacement energy source, say goodbye to everything you know and like about this world. No longer will you be able to get on the internet, go to the store and get food, get to work, etc...if this happens are entire civilization will collapse on itself, its a avoidable situation if we work on it now, not when the crisis is to the point where we cant do anything about it.
The arguments get so twisted by people who just want to make money, but its realy simple, we need alternate forms of energy eventually, the ealier we get this introduced into the economy the less impact it will have on the economy when oil is gone. Also, we dont want to use all our oil, we also need it for plastics and other shit, not just driving around.
at the same token, you can use tor to just stir BS and try and make yourself feel better. While i would never use tor to hide from my employer because id love for them to break laws and find men, the subsequently sue them for breaking my civil rights, not every one thinks like me.
My point was, you just cant take what people say anonymously and run with it, if you do then your opening yourself up to get severely manipulated. In the end, i cant figure what he said that wasn't already known, its not like he said anything worthy of saying. Also, i refuse to just believe everything someone says without some type of fact behind it, i suppose thats why im not religious

I dont think you understand how tor works, so maybe you should do a little more research.
I trust that the CAs are not going to be able to securely give away all there keys to the government so they can do such a attack
