Pretty funny how right-wingers cry freedom of speech to defend their inflammatory bullshit but are the first ones in line to whine like babies about Colin Kaepernick exercising that right by quietly kneeling during the national anthem. Everyone is a hypocrite, on both sides.
Except that ICANN only controls a small number of the root servers, which overall receive an extremely tiny fraction of all DNS requests. The system is too distributed to be of any substantial use for surveillance.
Cool story bro. Too bad the real truth is that ICANN will just keep on operating the same as it always have and nobody will notice any difference at all.
It is actually not fast compared to most other things you would think of as "fast". It takes roughly 10 minutes to find each new block, and a transaction is usually not considered "confirmed" until 6 blocks in the chain have been found and agreed on. So it takes about an hour to confirm a transaction currently in Bitcoin, compared to a few seconds with a credit card.
There is no evidence that they were pointing the guns at cops. They were simply carrying the guns. And, surprise, Ohio is an open carry state! So even if the guns were 100% real, the cops did not have the justification to shoot those people. There are white people occupying Chipotle with assault rifles but they never get shot. I wonder why?
Believe what you want but there are lots of types of speech that are currently criminal. I'm talking reality, you are talking fantasy land. Just curious though, do you think things like fraud, copyright infringement, false advertising and child pornography should be legal? Because those are types of speech.
And people should stop taking Trump's campaign statements seriously. Candidates running for office say and promise anything to get elected but rarely implement any of their campaign promises.
Then what should we judge him on exactly? His many fraudulent businesses dealings? His terrible interpersonal skills? His constant, pathological lying about things that can be simply fact checked? His ridiculous hair? Give me something here.
Trump would have no support from either party and the chance of him getting some of his more crazy ideas moved forward is effectively nil.
Again, if you don't believe any of his platform will actually happen then you are effectively voting for a complete unknown politically, and a person that has shown to be vulgar, petty, vindictive and racist on a personal level.
It's pretty terrifying to me that on multiple occasions Trump has publicly said his strategy with respect to nuclear weapons was to, "be very unpredictable."
You can yell "fire" in a crowded theater. You can be held responsible for the direct result, but no one can ever legally restrict your right to say whatever you want.
That is a nonsensical statement. The only thing that makes something a crime is that you are 'held responsible' afterwards, there is nothing specially sacrosanct about speech. The reason you can't be restricted from saying criminal things is because nobody knows what the fuck you are going to say before you say it.
Nevertheless, it's still monumentally stupid to mix your business with politics
Insomniac has been around for over 20 years making highly acclaimed and successful games through four generations of consoles. I'm pretty sure they don't need business advice from some random asshole on Slashdot.
You know a lot of companies have missions and ideals other than just making money. Are you an investor for Insomniac? Do you have any evidence that the board is not behind this decision? Because otherwise your post is pointless.
I mean it is literally true. They don't have shareholders that could take the profits. But thanks for your flippant comment that adds nothing to the discussion. Real good stuff.
Ok but then you are saying it is only secure for certain types of traffic. How do you quantify when you are secure? Is it 1 MB? 100 MB? It is a bad idea to have situations where you might not be secure and have no idea.
Now, neither the packet sizes coming in over VPN nor the total transfer-over-time directly correlate any longer with the stuff going unencrypted out of the VPN box.
Why do you say this? Think of it this way, if I see a stream going to wikileaks and I want to track who it is coming from, consider the individual packets from that stream. Every packet I see, I look at the incoming traffic and think, "which client could have sent this?" I put some generous bounds on the network environment and what I know about your padding system and say, "any packet sent between this time and this time, between this size and this size, could have corresponded to that output packet". That results in a, potentially large, set of "suspicious" clients. Now over time I do this for many packets, one by one eliminating clients. Unless there is another person who is sending packets at the same rate as you, for the same duration, you will eventually be singled out regardless of padding.

I propose anyone still wanting to claim we have Freedom in the United States be charged with criminal ignorance.
This was the funniest part about people claiming that only the US should control ICANN because we are the only ones with "freedom".
Except that ICANN only controls a small number of the root servers, which overall receive an extremely tiny fraction of all DNS requests. The system is too distributed to be of any substantial use for surveillance.
Where did you get the idea that people are spending millions of dollars to lobby for this?
Cool story bro. Too bad the real truth is that ICANN will just keep on operating the same as it always have and nobody will notice any difference at all.
But then Jack Bauer will show up to stop them. We are talking about TV right?

Already exists.
They got out of the car and immediately opened fire. It's on surveillance tape.

You are being willfully obtuse, you know what I meant. Criminal speech is no different from other crimes.

This boycott approach smells a lot like tactics used by vile characters in early to mid-20th century germany.
lolwut? That came out of left field.

Except for the most practical purpose, that they don't make profits or have stockholders.
How much do you think professors make?
