  1. Re:Nexus aren't satisfactory on Google To Take 'Apple-Like' Control Over Nexus Phones (droid-life.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A removable battery is a necessary safety feature, and the only way to ensure the phone is powered off.

    No, the crackling you hear is the humidity in the air conducting a bit of current around the ceramic insulators. If it's dark out, you can see it.

    You can get a little something from a piezo with less give than asphalt, which by the way could be laid on top. Probably not worth the cost though, not unless oil goes back up to a hundred bucks, which it won't. But you know, we could at least paint the lines...

    Yeah really, they should give the road a piezoelectric surface. Put the solar on the shoulder.

    No such thing!

  9. If the market can be pried open... on Why Does Twitter Refuse To Shut Down Donald Trump? (vortex.com) · · Score: 1

    Let them do what they want. Now, I'm not sure what made Twitter so popular to begin with. but there is no reason simple word of mouth can't help to find alternatives when user restrictions start popping up. It is the restricted monopolistic market which makes corporate censorship an issue. The real problem comes from the way internet access is so tightly controlled and makes competition so difficult. We have to demand a dumb pipe so that we can connect directly to each other. The entire system is way too fragile and brittle. It seems that way by design, so the authorities can shut it down with the drop of a single anchor. Ma Bell still rules...

  10. Re:Why encrypt non-sensitive content? on Google Will Soon Let You Know By Default When Websites Are Unencrypted (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It's pretty damn simple. You don't want the encrypted shit to stand out. It puts a bulls-eye on the message. It's a beacon.

  11. Re:Why encrypt non-sensitive content? on Google Will Soon Let You Know By Default When Websites Are Unencrypted (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Because when you separate the two, you are flagging one as the more valuable target. It will call unwanted attention from the exact people you are avoiding. If everything were to be encrypted your adversary will waste time chasing it all, whether it's credit card numbers or a shopping list. If he were to do my shopping for me, he can have both.

    All of that notwithstanding, HTTPS is a joke, worse, it's a tracker. Its vulnerabilities are well documented (I love seeing this story on a "secure" site). And our favorite TLAs have it all covered. The internet is still a broadcast system, just like TV and radio. Everything you do can be seen by all. So the best way to hide a message is to say it real loud with flashing lights and blaring horns.

    Why yes, it is! And it is highly rewarded by the general public at large, for thousands of years.

    Yeah, and despite all that, they still get reelected. How strange... It's like people can't be bothered to seek out a replacement when they bump into this.

    :-) Exactly. I do stay out of debt. The main cure to the problem is for people to zero all debts. But it will cause complete collapse. C'est la vie... It will free up the market from the creditors...

    But we haven't had a capital constrained economy for almost two decades now.

    More like four and a half... However, normal society is still capital constrained, by the financial industry through usury. All that money is flowing overhead and we get what leaks through the pipe.
