Well, I don't believe him anyway. I don't think you can find a group of more than 10 people anywhere on the planet that is not online. Even Gilligan's Island would have a twitter/Facebook account.
Going along to get along appears to be an inherent trait of humans...
Nothing 'human' about it. It's plain old herd instinct. It's hardwired in. This is what is being exploited so easily, and we're not ever going to argue our way out of it. On the contrary, we will continue to write holy books wholly rationalizing it as necessary subservience to whoever's god rules that particular century. The best we can do about our biological nature is ponder. Change is not forthcoming.
Constant repetition is a proven method of reenforcing an idea, no matter how absurd it might be. People are believing. All is well. There is nothing to complain about.
What are you talking about? We're living it. Authority is being abused in the manner described. This, Milgram, Skinner, and Pavlov all show how the game works. Power without thorough oversight invariably corrupts. Especially if there is any ambition to begin with and the corruption is regularly rewarded as it is today. This cannot be disputed anymore. It is also duplicated in animals, which we all are. It's the simple old cliche, people do what they can get away with. Even the best will go sour given enough time.
On the farm, individual packs would mean you don't lose everything at once during the outage.
I wish our desktop machines offered power supplies with a built in battery, at least for time to shutdown the machine nice and clean. These new all-in-ones are just laptops with a big screen, throw in the battery too.
If you want longevity, you can't go wrong with Nickel–iron... I heard about those things lasting 80 years. But, you'll need another building big enough to put them in.
The world is a giant Stanford Prison Experiment, outside the lab, and the results have been confirmed many times over. Unfettered authority will be abused. But people throw the report into the round file every time they vote... Further confirming the results how everyone turns a blind eye because of some tribal bond to the party.
People with the resources (if you get my drift) can conduct passive traffic analysis, and anonymously post the results, and even post them right here. Apparently I'm only pissing into the wind with the suggestion that we defend ourselves against domestic threats...
There is a lot of evidence the TOR is simply a honey-pot.
Yeah.. I don't get it. It is absolutely ludicrous to think the government is going to offer up secure technology that it can't circumvent to its enemies (the American public).
Yep, you can't beat simple traffic analysis. How come we aren't don't doing more of that on government/corporate communications? I mean, turnabout is fair play, no? We might not know the content of the secret deals they make with the terrorists behind our backs, but we will know when they are talking to each other. Take away their privacy and maybe they'll respect ours.
...there was a good amount of turnover in the mid-terms.
You call 95% reelection rate a good turnover? Seriously? Gee, I don't know what to say. Aside from that you are reversing everything I post on the subject.
Competition is a bitch; a government never likes it.
Yeah, we noticed, when they give monopoly franchise contracts to their business associates in energy and communications, and family. We need open markets, but we need public oversight. We are supposed to use the government for that purpose.
Damn! I don't even remember responding to you originally before you jumped in with your absurd nonsense about DuPont. In fact, it was completely offtopic to what I was saying. Who's trolling whom?
Take off the blinders and read the words. Or have your machine read them for you. Or maybe English isn't your native language, I wouldn't know. I really cannot be more obvious. I'll just have to assume the answer to my question is, 'yes'.
When you keep the divisions within the margin of error, it is very easy to push the results one way or the other without raising suspicion, and any possible evidence is very easy to hide, or destroy, as the case may be. But without that, it is not difficult to trace means and motive, and only one conclusion can be drawn. Why should I ever give the authorities the benefit of the doubt? Isn't 10,000 years of precedence enough?
Well, both do run at 2.4GHz, at least in my house... They have a clock, and they beep when they're finished. And the computer keeps my coffee warm. Is there really that much difference?
No computer is suited for elections. They need constant verification, which they are not getting.
And I sure do hear a lot of people saying, *I didn't vote for that!*, more than usual, but I don't expect anything to come of it. Everybody is just too conditioned to write off such talk as crazy.
Yeah well, it did slow things down a bit and the targeted machines were hit, and forcing a reroute through your own planted machines can be just as much a part of the deal. Court orders are easier to circumvent than ROT-13. Personally, I think it would more beneficial to leave the sites up and sit back and watch. I would rather monitor the communications than block them.
I am very surprised half the responses don't mention this. This is why spoofing IP and MAC addresses should be publicly encouraged, not vilified. Anything that can help defeat geo-location can only be a good thing.
Peering through less hostile neighbors wouldn't just stop.
A couple of well placed boat anchors can do the trick... Anyway, I doubt some silly ol' court order is going to stop the government. They'll just DDOS the shit out of them and plant malware. I mean, c'mon, the war is on. Buy bonds. Support the troops.

I always though the noise from coming from a cap that was ready to explode.
One big unit... to go BOOM! and take everything down at once. My evil plan cannot fail... this time

Well yeah. How else are you going to sell it?? Please, it's plain old marketing. You have to appeal to instinct.

A long time ago. Tor does not blend!
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
