    If the nsa figures something important I don't think they'll tell anyone. They don't care about public scientific progress.

    Your sig doesnt contain proper scientific notation and it angers me.

  7. Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say uploading an entire harddrive backup (for me either 129gb/400, 885/1tb, or 2.4TB/3TB) is entirely unrealistic. Upload files you might need and grab them later..

    Or just keep a second HDD with solely stuff you need that isn't sketchy.

  8. This guy had his laptop confiscated for 11 days. I don't think it was just the TSA taking a peek at it. They certainly didn't just glance at it, and hand it back.

    They shouldn't get paid a single red cent of MY money to spy on me. They should be thrown in prison for treason for a year at the bottom and life at the top.

    Oh and for the record I mentioned economic slavery because that's the impression most people have of libertarianism. I wasn't necessarily knocking the tea party. There has to be a balance.

    Economic redistribution is simply nonsense though.

  25. Re:Close but not quite on US Working To Kill UN Privacy Resolutions · · Score: 1

    Well first of all that's a strawman argument to the point where I don't even know who you think I'd vote for. Modern liberals are infinitely worse as summed up by someone's signature "progressive liberalism: ideas so good they have to be mandatory", so I generally lean conservative.

    So I would vote conservative if I thought votes did anything. I vote for local elections, and rep elections, and that's it. That being said here are my issues with the tea party:

    A) The tea party wants special interest groups to disappear. Citizens, companies, groups advocating a specific goal, etc should have a voice, so yeah, that's an issue. For a party that wants individual rights this seems inconsistent.

    B) "English as our core language is required" the message here is pretty simple. They want to be able to exclude immigrants (I'm referring to legal immigrants here) from municipal services, running from offices that they can run for (obviously they can't run for a lot of them), and I've heard it directly from them. That's the motive contained in that "idea."

    C) They want to integrate religion (Christianity being the only valid religion in their mind) into the political process. This should not happen in any sense, ever, at any time. I think anyone should be able to express their religion (even in public! Shocking I know!), but the nation should not be ruled be any one religion. This is also one of my gripes with the conservative party.

    D) They call Edward Snowden a traitor while paying lip service about NSA spying. The party itself does not, as it's official position is that they want to stop the spying. However the vast majority of it's members, and it's leaders, are outspoken against him. NO true libertarian or conservative could call him a trator. Practically by definition under either of those philosophies (as they were violating individual rights on a truly massive, horrifying scale) snowden should be a patriot.

    Granted I'd be more likely to vote tea party than liberal. I just wish the actual libertarian party could produce a good candidate who isn't Ron Paul (who it turns out is crazy and hypocritical.)

    So I'll keep trying to vote as close to the middle right as possible.
