  1. Re:Not really on FISA Court Will Release More Opinions Because of Snowden · · Score: 1

    And Congress's behavior and Bush's Behavior.....Fuck em all.

    Why? Aren't there enough of those bastards around already? Why breed more?

  2. Re:Also it stands to reason on German Data Protection Expert Warns Against Using iPhone5S Fingerprint Function · · Score: 2

    That your fingerprints are all over your phones.

    I believe mythbusters showed how trivial it was to bypass fingerprint protections by making your own "finger" from said prints? (This time on an electronic door lock).

    You can pry my fingerprints from my cold dead hands you filthy apes.

  3. Re:annual of $214! on No Child Left Untableted · · Score: 2

    You don't know what an "order of magnitude" is. Textbooks do not cost $20,000+ per year per student in K12 or anywhere else.

    ... We couldn't possibly know the effect of that by now!!!

    Sure we do, we can watch them on the installed video camera, watch what they type on the installed key-logger, listen to what they say on the installed microphone, and when necessary, alter the text material ala 1984.

    what are you trying to say?

    If you have to ask, then you are not on the "need to know" list. When there is a knock on your door at 2:00am, only answer while heavily armed.

  5. Re:Sounds like the lesser of two evils on Former DHS Official Blames Privacy Advocates For TSA's Aggressive Procedures · · Score: 1

    Isn't the same argument that was presented to an Indian Judge last week? Defense Attorney: "Your Honour, my clients are not guilty of raping and murdering that woman, she was a woman; and she seduced them by the act of getting on the bus." It's a shame this legal defencse went un-noticed at Nuremberg.

    The out of control political system with its arrogant employees of the American taxpayers, is the problem. The solution is known and at hand. What's missing is the catalyst.

  6. Re:Sparse Details on IETF Floats Draft PRISM-Proof Security Considerations · · Score: 1

    the draft is however very sparse on details

    Don't worry the NSA and GCHQ will help fill in those details.

    And you still won't have a clue what they are.

  7. Re:It's called IPv6 DNSSEC on IETF Floats Draft PRISM-Proof Security Considerations · · Score: 1

    Aren't you still trusting certs to a third party with DNSSEC? Hasn't the NSA already subverted that model of trust? And doesn't this only protect resolution confidentiality and integrity? What about actual http requests?

    Here's the circle of trust and you're not in it.

  8. Re:Treason.. or... on Yahoo CEO Says It Would Be Treason To Decline To Cooperate With the NSA · · Score: 1

    Don't we have to have a declared war to actually have a true charge of treason?

    NDAA.
    FTFY.

  9. Re:Treason.. or... on Yahoo CEO Says It Would Be Treason To Decline To Cooperate With the NSA · · Score: 1

    Either way it's a crap excuse.

    Treason is the act of sabotage, destruction, sedition, and suchlike. Refusing a search w/o a *proper* warrant is not treason. Secret court generated 'warrants' do not count as being proper by any stretch of common law.

    But, but, but...it's for the national security of the children. If you don't go along with the program, the terrorists win and it's all your fault.

  10. Take what you can... on Verizon's Plan To Turn the Web Into Pay-Per-View · · Score: 5, Funny

    Monopolizing greed only benefits the greedy. I see this as the writing on the wall, goodbye Verizon, the consumer has spoke. I sought a different carrier after dismal service from Verizon. If this is the future of phone service, then I'll go back to a land line with a rotary dial. Since few people will understand my last statement, it will be the most secure system ever.

    Uh-huh. And chances are, the NSA has your best interests at heart when they read your e-mail.

    Or this post.

  12. "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission."

    But it may not be safer.

    Safety is relative. When you are in possession of information others want hidden, you can become a liability that must be "dealt with". Releasing this information can piss people off, yet being an object of anger is better than being an object for disposal.

  13. As the saying goes, "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission."

  14. Re:You can switch it off. on UK Mobile ISP Blocks VPN, Citing Access To Porn · · Score: 1

    These guys are politicians. They ain't ever been accused of bein' smart.

    But they're always thinking of the children, the pedophile bastards. Obviously the VPN is more secure than regular channels, soooo, it must go. If you use a VPN, expect to be labeled a terrerrist by the powers that were as they use drones to kill people in foreign lands. How ironic.

    When the last dolphin, lion, elephant, lobster, whale is dead, what's their value? When an alien hangs your testicles on their ornament tree, what's the outrage? When man is hunted to extinction, will anybeing care? Does it matter?

  20. Re:Useful app... For poachers on Using Raspberry Pi and iOS App To Catch Rhino Poachers · · Score: 1

    Nice idea, but won't this help poachers as well? At the least the public app will help them to locate - elephants - park rangers - the cameras themselves

    Just think, observational skills and target practice before the poach. Wouldn't a catch and release program be better? Catch the poacher, take their picture and release them. Then tell the poacher they have 48 hours to leave the country befor their picture goes on a wanted dead poster with a $30,000 reward. The reward must be more lucrative than the poached animal. Getting a sense of how rare a poacher becomes is the only way to bring about a change of attitudes.

    As a US service member, I really don't want this to happen because I'll probably get sent there if this flares up and I've got less than 5 months left in the military. However, I think the US fully deserves it if they do carry out this attack on Syria.

    Now you know how it felt in Vietnam. The funny (as in odd) thing is, the profiteers of that war are the same profiteers of this war. The funnier (even odder yet) the bought dog politicians of that war are the AIPAC bought dog politicians of this war.
