  1. Re:White collar criminals ARE smarter on Insider-Trading Suspects Smash Hard Drive Evidence · · Score: 1

    Fraud requires the consent of both parties. Informed or not, it's still consent. Assault(rape) is unilateral, possibly life threatening force.

  2. Re:In other words on Online-Only Currency BitCoin Reaches Dollar Parity · · Score: 2

    If anything depends on pure faith more than anything else, it would be currency. Lots of people still have faith in the dollar, so no, it is not worthless yet.

    Fraud is a two way street. Physical assault is not.

  4. I kinda misread that on Vatican Bans IOS Confession App · · Score: 1

    I didn't know that Viacom was running the church now

  5. Maybe they can combine it on DARPA Wants To Know How Stories Influence People · · Score: 1

    With a study on video games... You can't have enough studies on this stuff, no matter how redundant they are.

  6. Re:Dear Wikileaks, on Secret Plan To Kill Wikileaks With FUD Leaked · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that 75%+ of Americans would be appalled...

    No, chances are they will slip further into denial. People don't want to know. Plausible deniability is a valuable resource. If people "know", then they must accept responsibility. Best keep it under wraps and watch some professional wrestling.

  7. Experts...pffft on Fox News Brings Video Game Violence Debate To a New Low · · Score: 1

    Your best "experts" on this matter work in the advertising/marketing department. They already know the power of propaganda. To put it simply, video games have the same effect as any other ad. And just look how easily the voters are swayed by the bullshit you people call "news". So, let's not pretend here.

  8. Re:Its not the speed that is the problem. on Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail · · Score: 1

    On the train you can pee out the door. Plus they usually have many bathrooms, most of them working. I used to ride a lot. Couldn't find a better, more comfortable deal. You just can't be so uptight about time.

    You could enjoy 8 hours on the tarmac with no food, air conditioning, working bathrooms. As long as the bar is well stocked, this shouldn't be a problem.

    For them, nipples and electricity...

  11. Re:I sure hope not on Is an Internet Kill Switch Feasible In the US? · · Score: 1

    ...he stepped aside when his term was over, as did Cheney. Hell Nixon gave it up without a shot fired...

    But the old guard bureaucrats of over 40 years still have their jobs with all the perks and power. Old money still pulls the strings. Politicians come and go, and government just keeps on doing what it has always been doing.

    The FCC is too busy policing the airwaves for porn to be tied down with such droll technical matters.

  13. Re:good job Republicans! on House Fails To Extend Patriot Act Spy Powers · · Score: 2

    There will be no "debate". Only some dramatic pontificating for C-span, and then it will pass with little fanfare. And the people will sheepishly accept it as necessary..

  14. The full story? on 1Gbps Wi-Fi Coming Soon To a Billion Devices · · Score: 1

    A digital photo? Yeah, of course. It shouldn't be admissible. Especially if you can't verify where it's been. Forensic photography has a clear paper trail to back it up. Crap on the internet is hearsay.

  20. Re:The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    ...(Obama) as a tool...

    That does make sense. A tool of propaganda.

    The world was tired of the Bush administration and their pro-war foreign policy, and the committee was banking on Obama making a change by giving him a major incentive to do so.

    Banking? No. gambling... that people would fall for it. It was a total outright fraud.. The pro-war foreign policy continues, with enhancements!

    What we are seeing is the miracle of public relations. Mankind's most powerful tool in the new information age. More powerful than a nuclear vessel.

    Ah no, the "libertarians" will tell you a "private" fee is no such thing. Just like only the government can "censor".

    Any number of ways. There's no control of possession. There's no "tamper proof" seal. As far as I'm concerned it's all hearsay and should be treated that way.

    I didn't say to prohibit its use. Show how easy it is to use photoshop, and they need to prove it's authentic. I would still demand eyewitness testimony.

    No, it is wrong to give the advantage to the prosecutor. It's innocent until proven guilty. Mere presentation is not proof of anything if the evidence is tainted.
