    Those controls disappeared decades ago.

  2. Re:The need for psychiatric evaluation of gov... on WikiLeaks Supporters' Twitter Accounts Subpoenaed · · Score: 1

    Authoritarians don't need evaluation. We already know that they are sociopaths by nature. The people that need evaluation and therapy are the ones who vote for and enable them. The ones who actually do their dirty business. It is the collective that is ill. The politicians arise from that. We will have fascism because that is what the people want. Not the other way around. It doesn't have to be forced on them at all.

    The subpoena is part of a witch hunt to find "subversives". The issuance of such should be considered the crime here...

    ...We jettisoned liberty and cheered.

    I hope Ron Paul runs for President again...

    All government documents will now be saved in the "docx" format... on "the cloud"...

    Haven't we already seen what happens when we let "private industry" meddle in technical standards?

    ...jet fuel can't burn hot enough to melt the steel support structures...

    It can if you mix it with oxygen...

    Say good-bye to battery life. Turn on the stereo and wifi and the mileage drops by half.

    No, it's a door

    ...An interpretation...

    More like a dramatization..

    That was when Assange stormed into Rusbridger’s office...

    Please. "It was a dark and stormy night"? It's a soap opera... and damned difficult to read. I'll wait for the mini series... on youtube

  9. Re:I doubt it on Hackers Find New Way To Cheat On Wall Street · · Score: 1

    You can't lump all HF traders together.

    Yeah you can. They're gamblers, not investors. Not that that's a bad thing, but let's call things what they are.

    Shame on the coiner's lack of knowledge in computer security and forensics. FAIL.

    But kudos for raising the hype and getting page hits and making his boss very happy... SUCCESS! with a possible bonus.

    ...if they resisted enough it would eventually be the US Army knocking down their doors.

    Transparency isn't a product

    No, it's a commodity. To be bought and sold like everything else.

  14. Vanity Fair? on The Guardian's Complicated Relationship With Julian Assange · · Score: 2

    Hardly a disinterested party. Reads more like a novel. And damn near as long.. In the meantime, all the "confidential" gossip is a nice side story.

    Heh, it's like how you torture blind people by moving all the furniture around.

  17. Re:He's right on Rushkoff Proposes We Fork the Internet · · Score: 1

    Then you should choose wisely. And there is a process for exorcising the bad seeds. I don't see anybody forcing you at gunpoint to vote for their hand picked candidate. The only remaining question is whether you're want to exercise your free will or just play along because it's easy.

  18. Re:He's right on Rushkoff Proposes We Fork the Internet · · Score: 1

    But but but what if we make it a public interest? Yeah, that's the ticket...

    I'm afraid we're doomed.. unless we develop a reliable alternative

    Ahhh, bullshit. We choose our government also. Even if only by being so compliant. We have crappy products and crappy politicians for no other reason that we enable it for the god of convenience.

    I was responding to the apparent surprise that people still use Hotmail. The moderator is carrying some kind of grudge. If somebody else had a convenient white list, I'd jump in a New York second.

    Truck drivers have more sensible rules.

    But a doctor can usually only kill one person at a time. Depending on the cargo, a truck driver can take out a pretty large area.
