very much not true. It benefitted those on the top, and the expense of those on the bottom. The average salary has stayed the same and cost of living and inflation gone up.
and in europe, and in every post-feudalist/monarchist society.
When they talk about class in Europe, they mean class via money.
In fact it was Europeans who started this term, equating wealthy "capitalists" with with the previous generation of monarchs, and titled nobility. Its used far less in America, because the people at the time did not have royalty and nobility in the very close past.
You can here alot about "Class Warfare" written by a very (in)famous(depending on your politics), German named Karl Marx, in "Das Kapital", and the "Communist Manefesto", the latter being written in 1848.
Class mentioned in these books has nothing to do with titled nobolity or royalty, and nothing to do with America.
I love it when people refer to "Anonymous" as a coherent entity, or even one with a defined membership or even single motive.
"Anonymous" is not a group, but a tactic, or even a posting style. It comes from message boards that work like this one, and is dirrectly analougous to the "Anonymous Coward" on this site. So fellow/.'ers.
So its highly likely "Anonymous" is really many many diffrent groups and inviduals with diffrent, and even contradictory or even opposing views and goals using the exact same tactic. Just the same as the AC on/.
I think you can judge how popular an idea by judging how many people actually show up to attack it, and the group that does the attacking. Of course you don't know, but just guess via their skillsets.
"No one seems to have pointed out that North Korea has no national means of detecting the launch of such a missile" The press, and they will read outside newspapers.
"You do realize that Iraq's old tanks and personal carriers were taken out in approximately 48 hours don't you?" No actually. They're largest formation of tanks was taken out in the course of a single afternoon by a single company of American M1A1 tanks in what is known as the battle of 73 easting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_73_Easting
One of the major reasons for the Iraqi defeat is the open space of the desert where the M1A1 tanks shine, and American tank doctrine rules.
Another reason is the Iraqi commander did not know about GPS, and how the Americans could cross the featureles dessert, and defended a road, in traditional tactics.
This is 2013, and NK leadership have internet, and aparantly cell phones. They also have mountains where tanks are irrelivant.
They also have a fuckton of artilery which works great in mountains, and decades to compute firing tables for dug in guns.
"N. Korean special forces would not be allowed to leave the country. The leader knows that if they did, they may catch a whiff of food coming from a restaurant and find out there really is such a thing as Food and defect immediately." dear lord I hope your joking.
" Does North Korea have an Air Force?" yes actually. Semi-modern MiG-21s. They also have a lot of them. Comparable to F15s. Do they have fuel is another story.
"We are not very worried about the few T72 tanks that NK has" T 62s actually. probably one of the worst abortions of a tank ever. even for its day it was terrible and its service in its origin country Russia was short lived before they improved it. If not outdated, it used the same engine as the earlier T55 with heavier armor, thus slower, and less agile. Its turrent also has to be elevated and rotated a certain way to reload the gun, making it awkward to use and giving it a dismal 4 rounds a minuete fire rate.
Oh, why are we talking about Tanks, there are going to be no great tank battles in NK. Tanks are pretty worthless in mountains anyway.
"The few North Korean Soldiers on the border that lived after the first hour of engagement would be just like the Iraqi Army in Gulf 1 and 2. We would have more problems with refugees and surrendering troops than we would the N. Korean Military."
Most of them will be in tunnels with a relatively few rear guards getting hit with air/artilery fire.
"The biggest rational fears are with the few scud missiles they have," No, ABMs will take care of thoose.
Our biggest fear is the 120,000 man strong light infantry/special forces brigade of the NK Army. That is the only part that actually that poses and actual threat, and its a big one, especially with all the tunnels, some into south korea. I'm guessing the rest of their military is for show, and weapons for export.
No one in Eastern Europe really liked communism or Russian rule.
They were puppet states with little if any popular backing.
Regimes like Cuba, Vietnam, and NK, are regimes that did have, at least at one point popular backing, and were founded by charismatic leaders viewed as heros, because the people knew FAR worse than the regimes that got set up there.
Cuba - if you read history you knew cuba was never a democracy, Batistas regime was far worse than Castros. The revolution that Castro fought wasn't even communist until a few years after the revolution, after the US denounced it, and they needed political backing.
Vietnam - was lead by Ho Chi Min. He was fighting a gureilla war against the French before WW2, the Japanese durring WW2, and the French again after WW2. He was a US ally in ww2 against the Japaneese. He expected the US to help vietnam get indepedence after the war, they didn't, so he went to Russia and turned against the US. Still the constitution of Vietnam has very similar pre-amble and rhetoric to our own. The regime in the south was held together by nothing but the US Government, and fell apart when we abandonded it in 1973.
North Korea - Kim Il-Sung, the founder, like Ho Chi Min, was another anti-Japaneese insurgent in WW2, and extremely popular for fending of the Japaneese in WW2, this cemented his popularity. NK is isolated from the outside so no one in NK has any idea of the rest of the world beyond what they are told. They just know who saved them from the Japaneese in WW2. Visitors are carefully screened and chaparoned.
NK is also NOT a sattelite state of any other regime at current, as hard as it is to believe. They remained hardline stallinist durring China's "cultural revolution", and breshnev's liberalism, and later the fall of the USSR. Their policy of self-reliance and isolation has fended off Russian and Chineese reform policies at whrecking their once vibrant economy.
They have this massive army, and experts disagree with what state of repair their ancient military vehicles are in.
Which is entirely irrelivant because they do not have the fuel to power even a 1/3rd of their force for a signifigant amount of time, nor does any of it stack up to the latest NATO equivilants.
Further adding to the mix, is the rugged mountains of NK, making tank warfare almost worthless, along with most other armored vehicles. A battle with NK would be determined with infantry. NK's 120,000 strong special forces/light infantry corps being the only formation we really have to worry about, and their vast networks of tunnels.
These requires really little if any infastructure support, as they will steal provisions and equipment from the enemy, and try and infiltrate deep inside enemy lines.
Its also unlikely that if NK tries and nuke someone, it will not be done with missiles. It would be carried by these special forces by hand, and detonated in place.
Also, read more H. John Poole. He'll explain most of it.
"Lets see you take that out and destroy it (via remote wipe) after you lost your phone, or when the arresting officer confiscates your phone." how is this any diffrent than the device itself.
"which is why Google no longer recommends them, and Apple never did."
Two companies that take your privacy really seriously....
"Ya know I used to get pissed at the guys that would waste perfectly good working HDDs by taking a.357 to the thing when we have easy peasy ways to wipe those but with SSDs? they may actually have a point"
There are companies that do secure physical destruction of drives or physical components. as far as shooting HDDs go, its fun, but it still doesn't assure all data is irrecoverable. the.357 method is far more entertaining though.
Many new android phones automaticly use the SD card for everything, apps, phone data, etc... which is by far the best move there is, and why built in phone storage is worthless.
store everything on the microSD card, and when you End of Life, either physically destroy, or gutmann wipe it, or both, from a smart card reader, attached to your PC. Phone is clear.
it does sound like an intresting video game premise, though. Lets face in, in American video games, far worst protagonists have been used. I would be intresting to see the graphics and the gameplay, and how the storyline is interpreted.(is it shear campy propaganda, or did they enhance it for media).
The irony is that few of them have computers, and the handful of people who will get to play this will be regime loyalists.
"are making some disconcerting noises from their bearings"
Rule 1 about hard disks.
When the hard disk starts making funny noises it hasn't made before(especially after 10+ years), its time to start looking for a new hard drive, failure is imminent.

The biggest use of enforcement against police harrassment is it needs to stay unbroken long enough that enough eyes and public attention are on it before you have to decrypted it, that its hard to hide any wrong doing.
video evidence is how you can prove your case in court when the other person is a cop.
That said, the best idea is to stream it somewhere, which is not immediately accessable. This will be obviously detectable by the network, and will come out in court. But thats what you want. You want evidence comming out in court, presented by you, or your attourney, not law enforcement or the prosecution/their lawyers(if your suing them).

So while they might use rhetoric to get you on their side, Its yet to be seen what they'd actually do in practice.
