If you think you must be doing something illegal to be using encryption, then what are you even doing on slashdot? You obviously don't belong here. Go back to watching your Video Professor DVDs to learn about computers. I guess every corporation that encrypts a laptop must be distributing kiddie porn too you sick fuck.
Granted, I was prepping the drive to be encrypted, but it sat around for a week before I actually encrypted it and put any real data on it. I also do that before pulling old drives to sit on my shelf. It's hardly beyond reasonable doubt. And quite frankly, it is on my list to prep a large drive with cryptographically secure random data cause it takes too long to generate on the fly.
Israel has acted with impunity for as long as I can remember. It was only a few months ago that they executed an American citizen in international waters and all the US congress did was issue a statement of support. Obama didn't even request a return of the kidnapped. They sank the USS Liberty and the US military issued a gag order to prevent the soldiers from talking about it. Why wouldn't they see how far they can push it?
I don't understand how a person can respect hypocrisy. Why is it ok for Israel to have nukes, but not Iran? Why is it ok for them to attack their neighbors and when anyone else does it, it's a crime?
Oh give me a break. Israel has the biggest hard on for Iran, of course it was them. They've been hyper little kids, jumping up and down on the couch for years now yelling, IRAN, IRAN, IRAN more than Guiliani refers to 9/11. I suppose it's possible it was the US. But really, six in one hand, half a dozen in another. The rest of the world simply doesn't give a shit about Iran.
I am both a Skype and Facebook user. This move will mean that I'll stop using Skype. Maybe Google Voice will pick me up as a user, maybe someone else. I don't want my facebook tied to skype or anything else. I won't log onto another website with my facebook account. I won't use google mail, because I use google search....and so on. All these companies are bad enough on their own. This drive to merge, will only drive me away. Every time I read a story like this, I end up googling for disapora (only to see that it hasn't gotten anywhere).
There is no notion of collective rights in the constitution, only individual rights. Corporations (and LLCs) are state sponsored entities where businesses give up some of their rights in exchange for limited liability. By granting them the same rights as people, while still granting them limited liability, they're elevating corporations above individuals.
Now if you're talking about a proprietorship or a partnership, then yes they should have privacy rights as their liability is the same as yours or mine.
If AT&T doesn't want to play by the rules, then they should have their corporate charter revoked. Otherwise just shut up and enjoy your dance with the devil.
At least you're a student. You have the excuse of not having been through too many election cycles. Everyone over the age of 30 has seen this back and forth, no difference between the candidates BS, all our lives. Republicans and Democrats have nearly identical policies and only get votes by scaring people into thinking the other side will destroy the country. People will vote for vague promises of change but anyone who gets specific with that change will typically be branded an "extremist." My advice is not to throw your vote away on the same old shit and find a third party to vote for. The system is rigged against third parties, but since it doesn't matter who gets elected, you might as well send a message to the GOP/DNC that you're not apathetic, you're just not voting for them.
Every other upgrade breaks ALSA for me, but for some reason, I'm still no expert on fixing it. The last time sent me over the edge. Of course I checked with alsamixer to make sure my sound levels were unmuted (not sure why it doesn't default to that), but it turns out that some idiot added two new hidden sound level that only show up in alsamixer by issuing some esoteric command that I only found after days of googling. I love linux, but alsa very much needs to be replaced by something cleaner.
Sure Budweiser and Coors deserve to be slammed, but America has a nearly endless selection of great beer. I'll take a local brewed double IPA over anything I've had during Oktoberfest in Munich. People who slam American beer probably weren't into beer to begin with.
Now, if she gets a new computer to blog with (or anything costing $600 or more), she'll have to provide her social security number so that Dell (or whomever) can properly file their 1099s on her (starting Jan. 1, 2012). Welcome to the world of small business sweetheart.
The health care bill was a big deal when you consider the new 1099 provision. Now, every business that buys anything $600 or more has to file a 1099 (which involves getting the EIN of everyone you do business with). That's an insane amount of overhead for any small business to deal with.
I also think it's a pretty big deal to start targeting American citizens for assassination. Even Bush didn't go that far and it does set the stage going forward.
I'd think Dr. Paul's libertarian followers should have left shortly after the idiots hijacked his populist movement and turned it into the pointless anti-Obama mob it has become.
We pretty much have. I was hoping that Obama's popularity would have kept the GOP out of power long enough for them to reflect on their screw-ups. Instead of teaching them what conservatism means, all we've done is reinvigorate the most vile among them. It was nice dipping my toe into politics, but I (and most of my fellow Ron Paulers) have pretty much dropped out in disgust. Anyone who thinks there's a difference between Bush and Obama is pretty much a lost cause at this point.
Yeah, I had some Seagate drives with a firmware problem and they wouldn't make the patched firmware available to the general public. You had to request it. Well I requested it and they never even responded. I used to be a Seagate-only kind of guy, but that debacle turned me away from the company forever and I buy at least 4-6 high capacity drives a year. I'll wait for one of the other companies to put these out.
For you maybe. For me, disk space is and has always been the one thing that can't keep up. I don't ever need to max my ram, cpu, or gpu. But until they make a quantum leap in disk capacity (like 100 TB), I'll always been on the verge of being overwhelmed by data accumulation (mostly video).
I disagree. Without government licensing, how would people know that they're ready for marriage? You'd end up with divorce running rampant. For that matter, how would people learn to have sex?
In most (if not all) cases, we're talking about getting signatures to put something on the ballot. It's just about giving people the chance to vote on an issue. Is verification really more important than privacy over something so minor? I suspect this is more about attacking the petition process yet again.
I've done petitioning her in Colorado and we hardly go a month without having to fight some new bill that effectively outlaws it (through absurd conditions that are impossible to meet). It's no secret that they're openly attacking the process here. State governments are in dire straights from reckless spending and they don't want to be legislatively bound by the will of the people. Pretty much all the legislative energy in this state goes towards fighting citizen sponsored initiatives and I'm sick of it. What the people say, goes! Get it?
That's a ridiculous statement. America has by far the best beer in the world, so long as you stick to the microbreweries. Unfortunately most Americans have no taste for quality beer and prefer piss like PBR and the silver bullet.

Hate to break it to you, but this is what they were fighting for. All the talk of freedom was just to get the rubes on board.
Well, it's happened to me before. So I hope you're not sitting on any jury of mine.
Really? Cause I just ran this command last week:
badblocks -svw -t random /dev/sdd1

Is that when the screen turns blue? Hell, they can have that patent.

And it's not an unfair thing to pay the mafia protection money to keep them from breaking your legs.

Have you been to California lately?
No. I try not to think of the insanity over there. People here are more focused on reigning in the recklessness of government, not adding to it.
I disagree. Without government licensing, how would people know that they're ready for marriage? You'd end up with divorce running rampant. For that matter, how would people learn to have sex?
