    The purpose is to shut up the denialists who defend the church.

    I'll add titles in future, but links demonstrating that the abuse problem is enormous and world-wide are appropriate.

    The Pedo Church has paid over ONE BILLION dollars worldwide to its victims in settlement money/damage control.

    How dare you or any modern man defend superstition, let alone Catholicism? Even the Irish are getting fed up:

    http://articles.cnn.com/2010-03-18/world/ireland.abuse.fallout_1_child-abuse-ireland-irish-times?_s=PM:WORLD

    A better question is "why does a tech forum whose members should be educated enough to despise superstition have superstitionists posting?"

    If you support Catholicism you support pedophilia. Kill yourself.

    Anyone who doesn't instantly turn in pedos to the cops supports their perversion.

    The Catholic Church has demonstrated by paying out more than a billion dollars worldwide in ongoing scandals that it is nothing more than a pedo cult.

    If I were a "security researcher" I wouldn't offer anything to anyone unsolicited. Fuck 'em. Fuck ALL of 'em.

    The only way to punish these cocksuckers is to NOT look for any credit, expose their vulns, then laugh quietly as they are exploited.

    Nonsense. Leadership and giving the right ORDERS works fine.

    You can TELL the military to stop using Windows tomorrow and they either do that or it's UCMJ time. The example is extreme but real.

    A lot of cybersecurity would be to reduce bullshit computer use. Take away options. Take unclassified systems off the internet or filter them heavily.

  20. Re:Budget cuts on Air Force Network Admins Found Out About Drone Virus Through News Story · · Score: 1

    WRONG fucking answer.

    The .mil budgets are enormous, but Air Force customs regarding network management have been fucked up for many years.

    "Networking training is not cheap, understanding it is not cheap. Finding people with enough knowledge combined to work across these systems is difficult and comes with a price."

    The USAF capably trains people on tasks more demanding than networking, but MilPHBs who don't understand networking combined the computer maintenance folks and the welfare-queen/closet queen (yes, really) Admin paper pushers with predictable results.

    It's always been a MilPHB problem, and because the Air Force now is extremely "corporate" people who may be competent at war are taught to emulate corporate fuckups-I-mean-models.

  21. Re:Well, damn on Mazda Stops Production of the Last Rotary Engine Powered Car · · Score: 1

    Poppet-valved piston engines are wonderfully tunable and excellent when your goal is to manipulate the combustion process.

    Wankel rotaries and piston two-strokes (be they piston-port or rotary valve) are much more limited by nature. Their power-to-weight ratio makes them fine for specific applications, and of course two-strokes can be built cheaply though they pollute quite a bit, but if you want low-end torque for automotive applications the poppet-valve piston engine is what to use.

    The timing belt issue is easily solved by running gears or chains. Belts are used because they are cheap.

    Learn that the average HATE their betters, loathe being challenged, and will make your life a Hellmouth if you piss them off. X10 if you challenge their superstitions. They are vicious when challenged, but easy to manipulate as they deserve.

    Seek power and wealth. Become one of their masters instead of a target. Do as the wise and genuinely powerful do and live out of the limelight.
