  1. Re:Bob: So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch on The Department of Homeland Security Needs Its Own Edward Snowden · · Score: 1

    Turn all the records over to Congress and start over.

    I'm sorry, what? Turn the records over to the same panicky corrupt bastards that created the department? Give me some time to figure out the logic there..

    I'm afraid if you want to start over, you'll have to destroy the universe.

    ...a motivated Congress...

    Congress is already motivated by that which brings the greatest rewards. Who is going to motivate them to change anything?

    Then you need someone to watch the watchdog and oversee the oversight committee, turtles all the way down, and up...

    Instead of raising prices they just water down your beer and step on your drugs.

    ...it just has to increase the cost of mass surveillance to a level where it is no longer feasible.

    It doesn't work that way. It becomes a call for a bigger budget and higher taxes to pay for it.

    See? Now I know you're full of it.. When have you ever seen anything subtle from the Russians?

    How is this different from what the Stasi did?

    Our government acts with the full consent of the governed.

    Baby Boomer generation built Internet...

    Baby Boomer generation monetized the Internet, and left us AOL in the wreckage. Then again, the "greatest generation" sent them to Vietnam to settle a trade dispute. Guess which program lasted longer.

  9. completely subjective on New Digital Currency Bases Value On Reputation · · Score: 1

    As is the "value" of everything. Money certainly has no intrinsic value in nature.

    I don't believe that for a second. Everybody is censoring now. Of course in the US the laws mandating censorship are secret, cuz, you know, terrorists.

    And by the way, why would a commercial airliner fly through such an airspace anyway?

  13. Re: Awesome! on 'Hidden From Google' Remembers the Sites Google Is Forced To Forget · · Score: 1

    "We", is "us"? Who is supposedly doing the "fixing"? With all the guidance we go through in our lives, very little of it is devoted to fixing one's own self, before trying to fix everybody else's. We're creating a world of little Napoleons here.

  14. Re: Maybe, maybe not. on Obama Administration Says the World's Servers Are Ours · · Score: 1

    In fact, TPB and wikileaks are perfect examples.

    They are still getting the velvet glove treatment in a public relations game, and can be nuked at any time. The ruling institutions are not affected at all, in fact, they are fortifying as more and more people hand in their underwear to provide a DNA sample for an MPEG license and demand that you do to. As long as somebody owns your wire you are screwed.

  15. Re:Net Neutrality has always had a clear meaning on Telcos Move Net Neutrality Fight To Congress · · Score: 1

    Just like our phone calls go thru no matter who we call or we is calling us, that is how our internet should work.

    Apparently the internet scrambles a letter or two. And the phone system? Well, I have memories sonny. Calls didn't always go through... And a quarter for the first three minutes just to call out to the suburbs. Ah, but we had it good, only had to dial seven numbers, none of this area code crap. KLondike-5 3825

    Polls are one of the worst methods of "information gathering" known to man...

    But elections, the only polls that matter, speak volumes. Salesmen know their trade... Some may claim they're being hacked, but it still boils down to free choice. The trinkets and money have no power of their own. Media polls are pure advertising and distractions that exploit known psychological weaknesses of... the crowd

    ...I do think there needs to be some crackdown on bullshit advertising in the SEO/PR sector.

    Oh please! The very premise is based on fraud. People should just learn to ignore it. And we desperately need alternatives to Google. It is so heavily compromised. It's hardly anything more than a barroom trivia and shopping site.

    It merely states that the U.S. gov't will recognize extracted minerals as being the property of those who extracted them.

    The key, exactly. You own what you create, nothing more. And a performance is only a performance when you perform. (That was a preemptive Shh!...)
