    Its not unreasonable to say tor is broken until they move to 4096 bit keypairs.

    Its not unreasonable to say tor is broken completely if facebook is involved.

    The cops can do any damn thing they want, and nobody's lifting a finger to stop them. On the contrary, most people thing this is a good thing. That little factoid will be confirmed when the numbers start rolling in Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. It is not going to get any better any time soon. So, like they say, relax, it will hurt a lot less.

    I agree that they should have expanded Medicare to cover everyone who wanted it - that's by far the most efficient system with the highest patient satisfaction. Much better than private insurance, so likely the competition would have forced insurers to become at least marginally efficient and improve coverage.

    I'm sure you understand why that didn't happen, right? And you do know that it will never happen while the voters keep reelecting lying carpetbaggers into office, right?

    The old cliche, "Follow the money" could not be more important than it will be on Tuesday. Maybe people might start voting for *Medicare for all* instead of the insurance companies their regular politicians represent. And my Romex watch really is authentic. See, I have to believe that if I'm going to believe anything out of the ordinary is going to happen.

    Well, absent any useful information, your opinion on systemd would have been preferred to a lecture. Me? I'm suspicious of anything new, and believe that SCO should have had the last word in this whole UNIX thing.

  8. Re:Not a technical problem, probably no solution on Smart Meters and New IoT Devices Cause Serious Concern · · Score: 1

    No, do not vote for the "less bad". It is completed owned by the "more bad", a subsidiary that keeps "more bad" in power. First, to have any meaning, the incumbency must be voted out entirely (25% would be an impressive baby step though). If that does not happen, then I will insist that the voter is asking to maintain business as usual, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter. But this whole "lesser evil" bullshit is what put and keeps us where we are today. The entire House of Representatives can be swept clean overnight, with simple push of a button, or touch of the screen. You won't regret it.

    It doesn't matter what level you're at. The politician represents his financiers, or he receives no financing. Our obligation is to seek out those that aren't on the organ grinder's leash between elections so we have somebody to put on the ballot. That's how they do it, and it shows.

    Last mile needs to become a public utility.

    "Reform this! Reform that!"

    Everybody keeps saying that like it's going to magically happen by some miracle.You think the politicians currently in office are going to let that happen? Especially when they have 95% chance of being reelected no matter what they do? When voting, know who/what your politician is representing, and then decide if you want the same thing. Their records are easy to find now, and you can stop believing the lies they tell you on the TV. When I see a big turnover (get rid of the entire institutional republican/democrat party), then I'll believe people are serious. But everybody please, quit crying about how the system is rigged. It is a social/psychological exploit, that needs to be patched on the individual level, like any other system update. This patch however, requires a firmware upgrade.
