Mr. Sherman: You made a good point in your conclusion, "we need reason not rhetoric." That's exactly why it was a terrible idea for you to have written this rhetoric-filled inflammatory piece/we're done here
yeah, like, derp, everyone can read twitter, or that slashdot site or whatever it's called
people who suddenly want to delete their shit because OH NOES THE GOVT CAN SEE IT: I got news for you, they already can
We know what their keywords will be:

What do they mean "natural variability"? 20,000 years ago, New York state was under 2 kilometers of ice.
Now that's variability. Seems to me any swing in temp is inside 'natural' variabiliy.
I'm just hoping the current warming trend will forestall the next ice age, which would crush society.
When I got a Thrive there were the inevitable "Why didn't you get an iPad?" questions.
I can program it without paying a fee. It's open source. It's Linux. I can run Python apps.
The list goes on and on, but all the people who ask the question don't care at all about any of that.
Pity, they should.
Top it off: you weenies WISH you had 10 inches.
and if the content on your phone is encrypted, can they force you to give up the keys? all because you ran a stop sign
this is quite stupid. cops aren't qualified to do computer searches. you can hide stuff on your phone they will never ever find
but can haskell effectively leverage multicore? one school of thought suggests that parallel processing is perfect for non-deterministic functions, which can be trivially implemented in Haskell. But I read that about Prolog. Not Haskell.
How do you know that code they are using is any good?
What if some bad guy (or a Russian teenager with nothing better to do)
rooted a server somewhere and got the code, and discovered that it's shit?
I would seriously be MUCH happier if the missile silos published their code
along with proofs that you can't get in. As of now, I assume anybody can get in
You are young. You don't know. Eventually they'll figure out the secret, if it's valuable.
Your security is flawless if nobody wants your data.
You are a script kiddie.
Pro hackers can figure out what OS is being used by the way it responds to packets.
The point is that if you are relying on secrets like what OS version you are running,
then you lose.
I've written security code. Have you? Check my slashdot id number. I'm an oldfag. I've been here a LONG time. I know what I'm talking about, and you don't.
The key is a secret. If it gets loose you have no security. However, the security protocol (if it is a good one) will allow rekeying; keys are one-time only, and if a key is revealed you can immediately switch to a new key the attacker doesn't know (keys are just random numbers).

It's called the FAR side of the moon. I hate it when people say dark side of the moon.

Security code should be open for review anyway, or it's probably full of bugs and worthless.
I think you could do that with a tilt meter. They need those in classrooms, too.

MPH is fine but MPG?
most installations ... so you'll break it for the rest and not care? there is value in the separation of function

When the Europeans got to the new world they cut down more trees than ever! If there had been reforestation, where are those forests?
no, seriously, didn't Google just abandon the Go language?
funny, I liked the Go language they developed

Most of the posts here are missing the point ... Oh wait, this is slashdot.

hi. that doesn't really mean anything. please try using terms that mean something. 'postmodern' is a wooly bit of fluff, not real meaning

seriously, security by obscurity has been show to be stupid many times over. why are we even still talking about this?
you're paranoid
