    no, wrong. i just want to make it harder for you to find my bad credit. i may even give you a false SSN (oops). pretty much everyone needs a phone, you know. even those of us who make plenty of money but have shitty credit creeping up on us from our reckless youth.

    did you know that you already have the required amount of system ram, and enough graphics hardware for a visually stunning experience if you'd only check out your first life?

    actually, debian etch runs great, with xorg config and all on my powerbook g3. who wants to wait 12 hours and do every single thing to put together the system. i've done that loads of times by now, i know how it works. i just want to be able to install and get to work.

    i've never had this problem with my 84 rabbit...

    why the hell do you need a chip in the key anyhow? why not a normal key and an optional proximity thing to hang on your keychain.

    so, patterning a series of packets a certain way could cause more harm than regular traffic over wifi? denial-of-health attack?

  15. Re:Pretty interesting. on Site Claims to Reveal 'Tattle-tales' · · Score: 0

    with those who know that a real cop doesn't have to tell the truth, the "are you a cop" question is often just baiting for a reaction, see how they answer the question.

  16. Re:i support the legalization of marijuana on Site Claims to Reveal 'Tattle-tales' · · Score: 0

    still you're making a decision about "what's best" for people. i'd rather do that myself, thank you. and heroin is not overly inebriating, regardless of what you think. who can hide it more convincingly - the guy on heroin, or the guy who's drunk?

  17. Re:This is an outrage on Site Claims to Reveal 'Tattle-tales' · · Score: 0

    no, i'm sorry. i'm glad that there is a way to find out who is undercover or an informant in order to avoid them, not kill them. that said, i don't have a problem with snitches getting stitches, either.

    some of us "innocent, (sane) law abiding persons just trying to live a normal life doing the right thing" happen to smoke pot, or use other recreational drugs, you know.

  18. Re:Legal Remedy? on Site Claims to Reveal 'Tattle-tales' · · Score: 0

    why? a lot of this is drug war related. what's wrong with fighting back? if you do that, the sites will just move out of country, anyhow.

    this is how i roll...still. however, where i work they are trying to get everyone to go for direct deposit, so possibly not for long.

    it will be a sad day when it's impossible to make an entirely untraceable transaction.
