  1. If you want better legislation on The Groups Behind Making Distributed Solar Power Harder To Adopt · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is important to vote out the corrupt politicians who take industry money and write their laws. Otherwise, it can only get worse.

  2. Robots on Should a Service Robot Bring an Alcoholic a Drink? · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't they always serve the operator? I mean, if it didn't, I would exchange it for one that does. Now, if it is a free robot, well, just don't get caught hacking it.

    A latch? Try using a bear trap. It's much more effective.

    The original question is so silly, it leaves me at a complete loss at the moment. What kind of crap is this? Do we have alcohol vending machines now?

  4. Re:Live by the sword... on Jury Tells Apple To Pay $532.9 Million In Patent Suit · · Score: 0

    What "sword"? This is pure entertainment. They'll all end up at the pub together, having a nice big celebration. I am beginning to believe that these kind of lawsuits are more of a tax avoidance or money laundering scheme. There is no other logic to them.

    Watch for this guy. He can really draw a crowd. In fact, that could be his job, noting every response. Spies are everywhere.

    :-) He didn't like being called out, not that he was really hiding or anything.

  8. Re:Facts not in evidence on NSA Director Wants Legal Right To Snoop On Encrypted Data · · Score: 1

    So how about you consider the alternative: one where you don't assume that everyone working at every/any level of government, e.g., NSA, doesn't have the worst motivations and is actually trying to do their best to honorably, legally, and Constitutionally, protect our nation and its people instead of the opposite. How about that?

    Because most of the evidence says exactly the opposite. If the Russians are a problem, and they are a minor one, in a mobster kind of way, then point your rifle at them. And whether it's constitutional or not doesn't matter. The people who vote solidly approve, the wars, the spying, the patriot act, all of it. I don't blame the grunts (including you) for *following orders*. That is the job the voters gave you through their reps. Only they can reverse it. The government has no incentive otherwise.

    I try to remind people that they should take every step possible to protect the security of the communications, and to ignore those who claim they have any right to interfere with their pompous rationalization of *god and country*. It's a lot of hogwash.

    :-) It's all good, man. I'm pretty sure I'd feel the same way if there something in it for me. We're all just regular folks.

  10. Re:What that tells me on Researchers: Alcohol Health Risks Underestimated, Marijuana Relatively Safe · · Score: 1

    The only important thing was reopening the supply lines. And notice how quickly it was done, talk about military efficiency! I believe the Taliban didn't destroy the crops or the infrastructure. They just tried doing an OPEC style embargo. It is insane to give this war any more credibility than Iraq. Since Vietnam we watched them lie, and they're doing it now. In fact we are seeing and hearing the very same identical liars from all the way back to Nixon. They have poisoned more than one generation.

  11. Re:Facts not in evidence on NSA Director Wants Legal Right To Snoop On Encrypted Data · · Score: 2

    It's just nice to know the motivation for ones position. It means something. And it serves to further validate the counterpoints. The cops want to disarm the people.

  12. Re:good bye to US datacenters on NSA Director Wants Legal Right To Snoop On Encrypted Data · · Score: 1

    ...is the NSA going to get access to the data?

    Through a 'defect' in your encryption. The situation is such, all trust has been destroyed. It is naive to assume anything less than the worse. People will surrender everything for a bit more convenience.

  16. Re:The facts are irrelevant! on Researchers: Alcohol Health Risks Underestimated, Marijuana Relatively Safe · · Score: 1

    Everybody, including you is trying to find fault where there is none. The study is just another of many confirmations that pot is harmless, unless a bale of it falls from an airplane and lands on top your head, especially compared to legal intoxicants. You're calling it an *axe to grind*. Another guy calls it *pro-pot propaganda*. Sounds like you two are saying the same thing. What would that axe be? What is the implication of your post? Is civil rights an *axe*? No, all that crap sounds like code words in defense of the status quo. The fact is no more studies are needed. Prohibition must end. Personally I don't care how it is done.

  18. Re:Not Censorship on Google Knocks Explicit Adult Content On Blogger From Public View · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because censorship is censorship. Government and business are not the separate things they appear to be. The most unfortunate thing about this will be the lack of resistance against it. We need to fight censorship from all angles. Since so many people disagree with that sentiment, we must do what we can to make censorship technically impossible.

  19. Re:The facts are irrelevant! on Researchers: Alcohol Health Risks Underestimated, Marijuana Relatively Safe · · Score: 1

    So, what, you want to maintain prohibition also? Look, regardless of the studies, nobody has the right to prohibit the stuff. Enough studies have been done to confirm that. This is the angle to attack the prohibitionists from. We just gotta tell them to fuck off. I would prefer that it not be done with bombs and bullets, but they are inevitable if the fascists keep pushing. It boils down to simple self defense. Prohibition kills.

    Enough 'metadata' leaks out for all your surveillance needs. HTTPS only works if you personally know who/what is at the other end. The certs are wishful thinking. And I will maintain until the end days that publicly available crypto is a fraud. The state is way ahead in every way. The absolute worst must be assumed, and just roll with it. Not a hell of a lot can be done right now.

  22. Re:amazing on Intel Moving Forward With 10nm, Will Switch Away From Silicon For 7nm · · Score: 1

    We have to go the other direction and make large pizza sized chips, and maybe move to a more 'fluid' medium, like a big blob of neurons and synapses. You'll have to feed your computer sugar water to keep it running. *We have a bug*
