    I find your name and the content of your reply slightly ironic.

    But essentially it's true that in most cases the authorities cannot compel you to to divulge your crypto keys, but under certain circumstances they can.
    For example if they already know what they can expect to find (I.e they have examples of say child pornography coming from your IP), then a judge can compel you to divulge your keys or be held in contempt of court.

    There are other cases mentioned in the video.

  2. NOT hate speech: Mohammad had sex with a 9 year old girl. -- This is a widely accepted historical fact.

    No.
    Pretty sure the "fact" just is that the dude married a 9 year old.
    Marriage back then meant something entirely different.

  3. Did you miss the elections? We are already pendulum-ing back the other way. It's what we do here. I really hope the Democrats win the POTUS next round while keeping the House but not gaining the Senate.

    Both sides need to be perceived as winning often enough that we don't fall into a civil war. You don't want one party gaining and keeping a super majority for more then two years. Really not even the two years are acceptable but as long as it doesn't go beyond four.

    In this day and age, we are so polarized that for one party to win to many times in a row will likely cause a civil war. That's bad for everyone regardless of your strip.

    Hence, we aren't going to be the next Reich. That doesn't mean we won't nuke someone or they nuke us. Humanity will definitely nuke itself out of existence. It's not IF, but WHEN.

    I think you guys should just shit or get off the pot, and have that damn civil war.

  4. What would even be bad about a One World Government?
    Most the global issues today come around because governments can't agree on things.

    You don't have to provide an encryption key - you don't have to help them. l

    Not entirely true.

  7. For extra security you should set the password to "username"

  8. has it given you superpowers or let you see into the space beyond space, yet?

  9. Yes.
    But what other systems are these connected to behind the scenes? Can you move laterally from these servers and deeper into more sensitive parts of the votins system?

    Communism - as defined by Marx - isn't something you make happen, it's something that has to happen on its own as society responds to pressure.

    You know what's going to happen next - we'll find a star with a failed star planet, which has a moon that has a moon, that has a moon.
    What will we call that? moonmoonmoon? a moon3? a subsubmoon? how about a submoonlet?? i doesn't scale. Stop asking stupid questions, astronomers! Stop naming things that don't need names.

    It's moons all the way down dude.

    Alternatively moon^3

    turns out slasdot doesn't know what to do with the sup-tag.

  16. So how do you tell the difference between Titan and Hubble, then? They are both satellites, after all. Also, according to some definitions, Earth is a satellite of the sun. Depends which dictionary you open.

    The word "moon" is a commonly accepted term for natural satellites orbiting planets. If you want to talk about our moon specifically, use "the Moon" with a capital M, or "Luna".

    Yeah all the "society on The Moon" sci-fi writers just LOVE calling The Moon "Luna."
    Guess it sounds fancier.

    I don't think Federal Law actually prohibits the posession of nuclear weapons.
    There might be laws regulating the sale and production of the components.

    but I don't think it's strictly speaking illegal to possess a nuclear weapon.
    it's against a whole bunch of international treaties. But not against federal law.

  19. What kind of an idiot posts this gibberish under a named account?

    Yeah, that account totally isn't a throwaway or anything.

    You should watch what you type, because if you don't some day you might accidentally say something in meat space that wins you a broken jaw.

  24. Yes, all that poop on the streets, used syringes everywhere, crazy bums assaulting people at the BART station and living in the elevators, we'll deal with those later, we need to address the critical issues first.

    It's almost as if a large-scale operation like a city government can work on more than one thing at a time, innit?

  25. They're planning to offer Windows on a rental model to companies, in essence trying to get all IT outsourced to them. That's not their plan for home users.

    I mean, it probably is, but not until ChromeOS and OSX are planning on doing it as well. Probably not for 5-10 years at least.

    companies already effectively rent Windows. that's how the volume licensing works.
