We'll have to wait to find out exactly what they're referring to, but if implemented well this should be resistant to current methods of fingerprint lifting.
I've been chided by... less well spoken people... for talking in ways that go over their heads; the sad part in those circumstances is not only do they lack a single clue as to what you're speaking about, but they will inevitably get pissed off at you (and, as an extension, whatever cause you're touting) for speaking in a manner they fail to understand.
TL;DR version - Don't use so many big words when speaking to the proles; it scares the living bejeesus out of them.
As the proud, former owner of not one but two 1992 Toyota Corollas (Well, OK, one was a Geo Prizm, but it's the same damn car), I most certainly do!
In all honestly, that little red riceburner still sits in the top 3 of my list of Favorite Cars I've Owned, after the 76 Trans Am (cripes but that car was fast!) and 81 GMC Stepside I built with my dad. I was super bummed when the transmission gave out.
So... I can stop paying my bills and still keep all my stuff?
Just fuckin' with ya - I get what you're saying, but I would submit that it would help more people understand what you mean if you were a bit less poetic.
Yeah, I see what you mean: the old "communists and jews eating our babies" conspiracy again - aka the Blood libel. It's not an explanation, it's a rambling collection of bullshit that traces right back to the Tsarist Ochrana and even darker times before that.
Sounds like something someone who doesn't know how to read between the lines would say.
Yea, 'jews eating babies' is a bit far fetched. A long standing dynasty of self-appointed, old-blood Royals running the show from behind a dark curtain, not so much. Shit, we can't even get details on what goes on behind closed doors during a G20 summit.
So this is similar to what companies do with their data on you?
Similar, with the exception that companies like Google don't have the power or authority to take away my freedom, either through incarceration or violence.
Yeah. We're pretty much the only nation on the planet that hasn't tried to corral and exterminate them.
That's only believable if A) you live an utterly sheltered life, where the only world history you learn about comes from Liberty University, or B) you're completely bat-shit insane.
Nah, we're just mostly trapped in a vicious cycle of debt that forces us to spend most of our time at jobs that treat us like serfs as well as instilling a fear that if we were to speak out and stand up for ourselves, our lives would be ruined by outside forces.
Oh, then there's that whole extraordinary rendition/Gitmo stuff.
Plus you can scale your display to whatever size suits your current needs, within reason (and device specs), of course.
I've considered going the projector route for my living room, but due to certain architectural details (like a 14' ceiling with no crawlspace above) the challenge of doing so is non-trivial.
Plus I can't hardly justify spending the money when I already have a TV in there.
OK, dude, you hang on to that undeserved sense of intellectual and moral superiority, and I'll go back to ignoring you like I do the rest of the trolls.
you can also get a dumb display of competing size and resolution for much, much less.
Would such a dumb display allow hearing the audio carried on the HDMI port?
One would hope so (although I only use the HDMI audio on my Bravia as a pass-through to the surround sound)
Would it work with my existing low-definition (classic video game consoles), standard-definition (non-HD cable channels), enhanced-definition (Wii), and ATSC (U.S. terrestrial broadcast video) sources?
One would hope so; my ideal TV is a dumb display (no 'smart' apps or unnecessary electronic bits like a camera) with a veritable metric shit-tonne of inputs, and a handful of outs (mainly audio, although it would be tits to have a video-out port on the display for daisy chaining and recording). Hell, let's throw an NTSC tuner in there, too, just for shits and giggles.
I know it's a pipe dream right now... but hey, maybe we'll figure out how to 3D print our perfect televisions in the near future... or something...

FTFY; just give it time.

Right; I mean, it's not like Mossad has a reputation for being disreputable or anything...
Compared to who?
Why does everything have to be a competition? Can't a person point something out without the conversation devolving into a dick-measuring contest?
You may jest

My '96 Corolla can go faster than the speed limit whenever I want it to.
Sure, but it takes 16 city blocks to get up to speed.

Spurred a thought: How do you think ol' Torvalds would react if people started referring to him as Tux?
If it makes you feel any better, the Israeli government pinky-promised that they wouldn't use it for anything bad. And that's a PINKY promise, mister!
Right; I mean, it's not like Mossad has a reputation for being disreputable or anything...
And, one should keep in mind that Israel is basically the 51st state so It's not as if the NSA is sharing this data with foreigners.
As I stated elsewhere in the thread, Israel is treated more like a 4th branch of government than another state.

Here's hoping there's some dead-man switch set up so that if Linus doesn't log in for, say, 5 days, the entire shebang is uploaded and mirrored.
Oh, there's an explanation, but it smacks of tinfoil hattery, so it gets ignored.
Go look up '13 satanic bloodlines' or '13 bloodlines of the illuminati' and you'll see what I mean.
Just think of Israel as the 4th branch of government.
FTFY.

In the last month alone I have been banned from two anarchist forums alone, for disagreeing with the admin's exact philosophy.
Sounds hilariously ironic; too bad they banned you so you can't point it out.
Never been on a nihilist forum
They're pointless, like life.
HA!
In other news, [Group A] released a statement indicating that the biggest threat to national security today is [something Group A makes money from].

Wow, did I actually just say, 'one would hope so,' twice in the same post?
Too early for this much thinking.

What about Anarchism, or Nihilism?
You think the only non-display features on modern televisions are cameras and microphones? Ever hear of a "smart" TV?
There was a joke? ... aren't jokes supposed to be funny?
