  1. Re:Okay, so what's the workaround? on China Bans Internet News Reporting As Media Crackdown Widens (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    there isn't a solution

    That's why I'm hoping that sufficient resources are being applied to find one. The press could do its part by making a lot of noise over it, but for some reason I don't believe their heart is in it, because it would only cut into their business. And there is also a noticeable lack of concern on social media itself. The people who would break through these firewalls can make a name for themselves. C'mon Snowden and Assange, show us what you got besides hearsay and gossip on American politics. Let's get the techies stop singin' the blues and tunnel under or fly over the blockage and get these folks a connection that can't be cut.

    Heh, let's hope they don't investigate Trump's Russian connections. Might explain his desire to pull back on NATO. And let's also hope that the only "briefing" he gets a look at the Zapruder film.

    Trump is the Kremlin's Kandidate. What are you, some kind of commie?

    How can they get the news they want despite the attempted blockage? Our next big thing for the internet is going to be the "ability to route around the damage". I hope it makes the front page when it finally happens.

    I still don't understand. By now you should that these "breaches" are an everyday thing. Why would you ever give your real name and/or card?

    That just might be the case. Most of the names might be burner accounts. Or do I have too much faith in people?

    Heh, that's true. Everybody should have just used a regular RS-232 serial port. But it still shows how everybody was trying to set themselves apart and corner the market in some fashion. I'm picking on the Mac because I had to buy an Apple printer, and of course, I could have nothing but the best... 1000 dollars at the time. But hey, it could print postscript right up there with the big boy laser printers (and with 8 colors!), just not as quickly and not nearly so quietly, damn near needed a soundproof room of its own.

  12. Sounds plausible on Clinton Campaign: Russia Leaked Emails to Help Trump (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    Trump and Putin share many interests and personality traits (going by what mass media puts out). And Trump is getting a lot of questionable help from others on the outside.

    It would be nice though if somebody besides the Hillary campaign said it, if just for the sake of appearance.

    Still the biggest shame is seeing the election coming down to these two... the very worst of the worst. A Wall Street dominatrix vs. a demagogue

  14. I think it was tax breaks and other subsidies that pushed them overseas to begin with. But I sure have nothing against import tariffs on American companies that exploit cheap overseas labor either, and make it high enough to support adequate unemployment and other benefits here. We can also put a domestic "tariff" on automation here for the same purpose, unless prices go down instead. We are all entitled to the benefits of automation, one way or another.

    Lowering the chicken sandwich to the ground? Nice way to attract all the neighborhood cats. You'd better be faster than they are to pick it up.

    They may have backed down, but only because she had WSJ lawyers, not some sleepy public defender. The law itself didn't come into play as much as public relations with a major newspaper

    But the truth is that despite our noisy minority, the majority of people are for this, and they actually want more. He who shall not be named will be putting up guard towers to satisfy the raging mob. Things are getting darker, not lighter. The feeble resistance will not be noticed.

    Yeah, let's not take this too far off base. It's only a story about Socratic rovers with frickin' lasers, not a another troll fest on gun control or he who shall not be named. Try to maintain some detachment. If the joke doesn't work, please, just say so.

    Don't want it shooting one of own wheels off, thinking was some curious object that didn't seem to belong.

    Giving such a young machine free will and a laser, isn't that a little like leaving the gun on the kitchen table where the four year old can grab it while you're out in the garden?

    They say it was a boring job, but for sure he had to have some holographic internet porn to watch, like Geordi did. See what happens when you're locked up in a tiny vessel like that? This is another reason I doubt that long term space travel is practical. From the looks of things today, even the earth might not be big enough.
