    Wow, you actually believed the racist charges?! Then you proceeded to 'augment' with other lies as well.

  2. Re:I've got a solution! on Full Disk Encryption Hard For Law Enforcement To Crack · · Score: 2

    Use biometrics instead of a password.

    The only way to unlock your system is if your friend puts his eye up to his smartphone's camera and you put your smartphone up to your computer's iris scanner.

    Then they would only need a picture of his eye themselves. 20 ways to get that outside of extradition.

    Couldn't we use translation software and then some proofreaders/editors to make the corrections for 5% of the stated cost?

    Good job Republicans! Wow, never thought I'd say that.. Well, after being in power for 17 of the last 20 years, it's about time you did something right.

    Um... 90% of Repubs voted FOR extending it...! http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll026.xml

  5. Re:When this happens to the US or its allies on New York Times Reports US and Israel Behind Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    Uh. The US barely 'won' against a FAR inferior Iraq, and is losing badly against a stone age country. I'm pretty sure Iran would do just fine, especially seeing as how they have control of 100% of the straits of Hormuz.

    Long-term Iraq and Afghanistan "wars" were failures as police-actions (after any major military conflict) in attempts to eliminate civilian casualties, having this goal to maintain legitimacy in initiating the conflicts. Iranian war on the US (the feasibility of which if judged according to the above US difficulties in Iraq/Afghanistan) is not advisable by any sane person.

    I concur on the hardware and parts access completely, but you have difficulty reimaging?

    Really? Because my experience is the exact opposite. Grown up working on Windows and now supporting all OS's, Mac is the easiest to reimage.

    NetRestore is stupid-easy & fun; there's ASR multicast (have serious switches and it can be a beauty); and there's even easier Firewire800/400/usb images - what else do you want??

    The only-choice-of-provider many of us have, right now, DESERVE to be destroyed by Google with such a plan.

    IF Google becomes the only ones on top for a while, how is that worse than the slow one(s) we have on top now?

    This is just good news for consumers in threatening to bust the status quo

    You seem to think that everybody who would choose not to pay for health insurance would not have the ability to pay for health care. Somebody needs to teach you what the insurance racket actually is. Its legalized gambling, and might soon to be required-be-law gambling. Fuck you are all your asshat liberal friends who want to force me to place wagers.

    I'd rather we all have a right to medical treatment,
    that doesn't cause bankruptcy to stay alive,
    and that doesn't encourage avoiding medical professionals in the short-term at the expense of major intervention in the endgame...

    vs.

    Compulsory property liability (ie - your hated forced wagers) that's the status quo:
