  1. Re:First look at what EFF has to say. on Your High School Wants You To Install Snapchat · · Score: 1

    And how do you propose to disable screen capture? And why should Snapchat be trusted?

    The person who pays and I will agree on something if the work is to be done. But if I have to store what currency I gain for a while, I want it to keep its value. It shouldn't be a perishable item.

    What is wrong with speculation?

    Too many third parties are effected. It results in hoarding, creating the 'shortages' you fear. My purchasing power should be determined by my skill in my labor, not by stock market speculators thousands of miles away in some fenced off island. 'Supply and demand' is a myth. Commodity prices are arbitrarily set by corrupt institutions such as Libor. This market is like a rain forest canopy, all the action is over our heads, and we live on what little falls through. We should not be letting them determine the price of the sea shells I collect on the beach.

    The ones I see are towing a 20 foot trailer full of equipment behind their brand new suburbans. They started out poor too. Really the trade you pick is irrelevant. Skill and charisma (more like chutzpah) will get you through. If there's no money in IT, do something else.

    Just another commodity rip off scam. We need a medium of exchange that stands by itself, not subject to speculations of the 'market'.

    They can wrap the building in tin foil. I'm sure that's perfectly legal.

    You completely neglect the benefits derived by the people that employ them, who also happen to be heavy 'contributors' to political campaigns. They are the tax cheats, not the workers. The workers get 'taxed' through sub-minimum wages and abusively long hours, while the employers pocket everything that would go into social security and payroll taxes and the withholding. As long as the present situation remains the most profitable, this is how things will be done. And playing into the hate only serves that purpose.

    That's okay. The real money is in landscaping, plumbing, and electricity. Do any of those well, and you'll be a hell of a lot richer than some IT schlub working 60-70 weeks.

    Yes, I did fail to bring up the fact that most people want this. We truly do have a very representative government in the US.

  13. The NSA has nothing to regret. on NSA Official: Supporting Backdoored Random Number Generator Was "Regrettable" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nothing happened. The spying continues as if nobody said a thing. It had no effect on the election, and it won't have any effect in the next one. Whatever the NSA does from here on out cannot be blamed on anybody but the voters. It's extremely simple.
