    Just stop lying and pretending that this is a hard problem. It's bad enough that this crap goes on in the first place. Pretending that nothing can be done is adding insult to injury. STFU and admit that it happens on purpose and nothing will change because you like the status quo. Stop lying to us!

    People have to stop rewarding the liars with their votes if you expecting to happen at all. You will get nowhere with the continued 95% reelection rate that Congress enjoys.

    To see anybody even considering this only illustrates how easy they fall for every con in the book, and not even new ones. This shell game goes back to ancient times.

    Well, I'm just saying the rule does distinguish blocking and disrupting. An over zealous bureaucrat can easily run with it until specific methods are stipulated.

    Copper foil would be more effective than a mesh full of holes, and it can be made very thin. Aluminum might also work, anything that can run the signal to ground.

    The person that modded that down does not know the bureaucrat. They could make it that absurd if enough money is at stake.

    The method is not specified in the rule. It just says blocking and disruption are prohibited.

    The rule does include blocking... "In addition, we reiterate that Federal law prohibits the operation, marketing, or sale of any type of jamming equipment..."

    Can't be any other way. Proper security means knowing who you're talking to.

    Maybe we should apply this great cable technology to subway trains. I do notice the pits on the third rail. They always have to send some poor guy out to sand them out real quick before the next train comes.

    You go ahead. I'll stick to mine. I don't play the appeasement game to curry favor. No tradeoffs are necessary.

    Instead of covering peoples' eyes, ears, and mouth, teach them how to resist. Censorship is the devil's work.

    Anybody that uses and is dependent on their cloud services probably cares very much. I hope they save all their pictures in TIFF.

    I tried 'em all, and always came back. 4.7 worked perfectly well for me. 18 years later and still, nobody can catch up. I am very grateful that it's still available. Otherwise I still would be using Mosaic

    Facts that are hidden from view are no less valid. But very simple deduction and precedence(the courts cite it all the time in deciding cases. If it works for them, then I can use it too) can and frequently does suffice. Eh, all this is pointless while your personal bias blocks your vision. You fail to treat authority (especially that of your peeps) for the adversary that it is. Please, don't try to cry innocence with me. This is a proxy war amongst the great empires (the five families). And so is Greece for that matter, since that was the original subject. They also suffer from the influence of outsiders. This is what crashed their economy. The money was simply stolen, just like my pension.

    'Facts'? When did people start believing them? If they are where you say they are, then you too know where to look. There's too many to list, and they say things you don't want to hear. Citing precedence is more than sufficient. Of course not for you, but since you will simply spend your time poking holes to prop up the beliefs you cling to, I'm going to leave it that. And be happy, the mods are on your side.

  22. Netscape is still the best browser by far, with a familiar look and everything. The page source viewer is wonderful. Even the web page composer isn't too shabby. It has always been that way.

    Data density is lacking. We could use glass though. It has a pretty good shelf life. The big problem though is that all the consumer grade stuff is absolute junk that barely works when it is new and goes downhill from there. You might have good medium with nothing to read it.

    Are you going to blame the CIA for it?

    Tell me why I shouldn't. If they're destabilizing the place like in the middle east and south Asia and Africa(The US has 'operations' in over 100 countries. Many are work for hire), high murder rates are going to be normal.
