    Ummmmm, yes we do. Go up a few floors above the level of the street lights and you see tons of light pointed towards the sky. There is no reason to have the bulb hang below the shade.

    Why do we have to shine all that light into the sky?

  11. Let's not mince words on Equifax Says Almost 400,000 Britons Hit In Data Breach (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The entire consumer credit reporting industry has been "breached". It's only a matter of time before the other two players make their announcements.

  12. Re:Okay, things are progressing smoothly on Equifax CEO Hired a Music Major as the Company's Chief Security Officer · · Score: 1

    Probably the only more dangerous job (for entrapment) is "procurement", but its great power over all else is very tempting, and the money that can be made, just by leaving the door open...

  13. Okay, things are progressing smoothly on Equifax CEO Hired a Music Major as the Company's Chief Security Officer · · Score: 1

    We have our scapegoat to let the board members off the hook. Not that's she's qualified or anything... They just hired somebody that wouldn't demand a high salary. Sounds like a common practice to me.

    Now then, as for the other two major consumer credit reporting agencies, when will they report the "breaches"* into their systems? You know it happened there too.

    Authorities can and do compel people to violence by speech only.

    You have failed to explain how that happens.

  20. Re:lowest common denominator on EU Set To Demand Internet Firms Act Faster To Remove Illegal Content (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I disagree with your opinion. Where there is freedom of the choice (and there is), the speaker is not responsible for the followers' actions. I hope that's civil enough.

  21. *sigh* Here we go again. on EU Set To Demand Internet Firms Act Faster To Remove Illegal Content (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Until we can unchain ourselves from the ISP, there is no hope. We need a real P2P internet with multiple routing that can't be shut down. Without it the tyrants will always win.

  22. Re:lowest common denominator on EU Set To Demand Internet Firms Act Faster To Remove Illegal Content (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The law is an ass. "Incitement" is a bullshit pretext to censor. Speech cannot compel action. But forced censorship can, and should, and don't give me the *bomb on an airplane* crap, we're not talking about that. Blame the listener/follower for any action taken, not the speaker. A true advocate understands that the followers are the problem.

    It's destined to turn into a political shit-flinging contest now.

    Precisely its intent, no? Nothing has been "derailed". Trump is the conversation in almost every "news" story now.
