    It's probably that your just old, but... my reference is from like 3-4 years ago (as opposed to yours that span decades), they weren't new then, but they were very uncommon and relatively unheard of (usb hd encrypted sticks).

    If all you need is syntax (like mwha), why not exclusively use google?

    Your question is ez to answer via http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control/ .

    The art comes in putting in the right search terms (where previous language knowledge makes this possible) and eventually you just kind of pick it up and w time you get better and better as you solve various scenarios and cases in the new programming language.

    Still, at least at work, I like to have a book handy just in case I need to grasp a concept or something dumb like HQL, that you just kind of learn the rules to prior to use and google examples are very inflexible and limited due to that language's structure. SQL, any flavor of c, any flavor of vb, most other open source, have EVERYTHING documented on their parent websites as well as abundant examples and use cases floating around on places like codinghorror.

    Your right, my mistake, maybe the physical size of the stick is what can make it 3k as opposed to the $700 1tb version. Still I remember when a 1gb one ran for like $250, thus the confusion. I have no need for these, but they're cool as hell.

  7. 3k??? on Victorinox Makes 1TB Swiss Army Knife · · Score: -1

    I was wonderin, but... http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43868/victorinox-ssd-swiss-army-pictures has 3k for the price, though unofficial. I'd love to hear how swiss army came up w that $ sum.

    I say this because... swiss army knife = $15 on a good day, 1 tb usb drive = $10 on any day, granted the hardware encrypted and shock proof ones are more expensive, but https://store.ironkey.com/personal = $80 and if anybody wants something like http://www.amazon.com/1TB-Encrypted-Slim-Drive-256BIT/dp/B0036TVX94 they're just being stupid and trying to rip you off. So, $100 v 3k? why???

    I somehow don't see american soldiers controlling the states, sure they can lock a city or two down, but not the country, we have about a million soldiers (much less very soon), and about 500x the population. If anything I can see more of a v for vendetta type scenario w mass protests. It's not the first time it's happened to this country though, we actually banned alcohol once.

    Why don't you take a look at what's at 1025 F ST N.W., 10th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20004? It's even in the capital for short walking distance to transport the bribe. They don't give a fuck about Europe because they just pass w/e laws we pass, so winning the law in the states = it gets passed in europe, cause europeans don't have spines, contrary to biology.

    Great, our legal system doesn't have a decent way to remove laws is the big big flaw imho, but let's say they're passing all these laws, it may be hard but it may not stand in court http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_challenge_a_law_once_it's_passed . It comes back to what its always been, if you have $ the laws aren't for you.

    #38619674 (your OP) talks about everybody in New Orleans losing their guns during Katrina, the police's response is logical, there was mass spread looting and crimes going on, however... here's the difference: If this happened 100 years ago, there would have been a major court case in regards to the 2nd, and those police probably would have been martyred and fired. Take us to present day and nobody says a thing. The most effective defense unfortunately imho is to challenge while getting your rights violated, however that usually does not end good as innocent until proven guilty is a joke.

    You can't compare to Rome because when Rome collapse there was NOBODY to step in, thus the dark ages, I'm sure a few come to mind nowadays if the US collapsed, but a recession doesn't equal a social collapse. I seriously wonder what would happen if the US got nukes launched at it though, I don't think its a scenario anybody has really thought through. We definitely wouldn't want to launch ours back to avoid MAD, I wonder as to the state of US missile defense systems, esp since the 2002 exit from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

  20. Re:SOPA and DNSSEC? on Comcast DNSSEC Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I like the analogy, it explains both SOPA & DNSSEC, but unless I'm missing something, they are not related in any relevant way, where one actually requires the other. Picture this, I go to the pirate bay, but SOPA blocks me, so I hop on a. a proxy b. a non-usa dns server. I don't need b but some people do. Now... to the point... if tpb is running dnssec and the dns server i'm on doesn't have a valid signature for tpb cert, and doesn't allow non-cert users, i'd be screwed. Except... the web admin of tpb isn't that fuckin stupid. I mean he'd have to live under a rock to not know to disable dnssec on tpb lol. Thus they can only be related in really abstract scenarios.

    Correct me if I'm wrong :) I haven't done heavy reading on this, but signed certs (public/private key model) aren't new except maybe to dns.
