  1. Re:The solution on FISA Judges Oppose Intelligence Reform Proposals Aimed At Court · · Score: 1

    The whole solution is to slash the NSA budget and let them figure out where to get the most bang for their buck. They'll never tell you the truth about what they're up to and the "secret" courts are a joke. Cut their budget in half and they may have to choose between spying on their citizens and spying on foreign nationals.

    Have you investigated things like "Pentagon audit" or "Black budget"?

      NSA operates under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense and reports to the Director of National Intelligence.

    Congress will not ever touch "defense" appropriations, and were they to do so the DoD "dark matter" will just funnel here. If the agency PR is so very bad, then the real functions function will just move to different sponsorship, under DISA or something.

    You have no Republic.

    In England, people typically don't eat penises.

    It must be this little fact that accounts for the high divorce rate. It's the French, who fuck with their faces, and fight with their feet... ;-)

    Somewhere, I get the idea that energy is transferred from radiation to mechanical forces, and ultimately dissipates as heat.

  12. HARDWARE BACKDOOR? on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 1, Troll

    Is this one got the hardware backdoor feature for the NSA? I'd hate if that were only a firmware implementation!

    OpenWRT would otherwise block the nation from being as fully safe as we really could be.

  23. Re:Music and muzack... on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 1

    I could imagine a disturbing time when all popular music is electronic and kids grow up without learning that they can actually create music in the moment (wait.. are we there already?), but then one day someone "discovers" this weird feeling they get when they start tapping on a log or a desk or a glass or something, and then they have the "innovative" idea of doing that with other people. They'll never want to stop.

    If you notice, in the original article that was linked, the primary complaint is NOBODY is DANCING.

    I don't care if you have only 1sq foot of space per person. That wouldn't be a problem if you had Kool and the Gang bumping your house down. The bans is tapped INTO THE EARTH'S RHYTHM. The people are tapped into THAT SAME rhythm. Every one is getting DOWN.
