  1. Re:Seriously? on Mars One Selects Second Round Candidate Astronauts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The difference between you and I is that I don't know if it will work. You seem convinced there's no point in even trying.

    Nope, he's not saying there's no point anyone trying. He's stating that these specific people are scammers and there is not point in them wasting people's time because all it will do is hurt the credibility of anyone else who will try.

    Why does it have to be 100% safe?

    It doesn't and they neither said or implied any such thing.

    No one is saying that no one should try to get to Mars. That's completely different to pointing out that this is an obvious scam.

    You're simply looking at this through the wrong perspective. This is a new and innovative way to win a Darwin Award.

    Now the translated sentence is well over 60% accurate, but do you see you know how the meaning has completely changed?

    What do you mean? The NSA was being used for domestic spying on political adversaries for decades before the Church Committee. It was a major reason the committee was formed.

  7. Re:Spy tools on The Startling Array of Hacking Tools In NSA's Armory · · Score: 2

    The NSA has always been like this. The only difference between now and the 70s and earlier is their better tools. The NSA has been an abusive, corrupt organization since its outset. The very things they are doing now is what the Church Committee and FISA was meant to prevent. FISA was not meant to be a rubber stamping of any and all actions of the NSA as it has become.

    I'm not being a jerk. I'm simply stating that the person should actually do something rather than just blather on with empty threats. They aren't going anywhere and they know it.

    Instead of the empty threats, simply do move on. I'm sure the kernel devs won't miss you.

  15. Re: "Slashmirrored" on Kernel DBus Now Boots With Systemd On Fedora · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nope, it's because gotos are very nice for error handling over rats nests of if/else. Which is what its predominate use in the kernel is.

    Btw: Why is KDBUS code full with 'goto' calls ?

    For the same reason the kernel uses them. Because they aren't mindless ideologues.

    Really, "the eric conspiracy", and you to a lesser extent, are merely being pedantic dickwads with your comments, weeping like little nancies because your sense of nationalistic pride has been bruised. Get over it.

    Riiight except neither of us believe that. And from eric's post below he even says:

    The NSA is seriously a problem.

    Didn't say the summary was wrong. What it said was perfectly correct, but leaving out the fact that the article didn't just talk about US companies made it misleading.

    No the summary had: "US companies including" and failed to mention any of the non-US companies that the article explicitly called out.

    A mix of US manufacturers and non-US manufacturers makes it all 'fine' in some way?

    Well except that the GP made no such implication that either was 'fine'. They were simply correcting the summary because the article mentions the exploits cover equipment from non-US companies.
