No, you talked shit about how easy a hard thing was, and only later realized that you are full of shit.
Cutting a copy of a regular key that has an easy to obtain blank (and in fact nobody gives a crap why you did it) is nothing compared to copying a key on a manufacturer controlled blank that also has a security gimmick feature.
It is a collection of ten photos of art projects, which are neither useful, nor available for any practical use. Sort of like showing an exotic concept car.
Verisign or any other signing authority don't have Google private key nor anybody else private key for that matter.
They do have the ability to provide a second key for a common name that end users will trust, allowing a man in the middle attack. Having the CA private key would allow someone to do this at their leisure.
Sometimes when I read YouTube video comments and realize that is likely about the average person in the world, it makes me a little scared to leave my house.
Anonymity also allows someone to further their own wills by entirely fabricating entire interactions between several individuals. In this case, whether the threats are real or not, this person's claims are furthered, even vindicated, by these supposed unpleasant comments.
I'd consider that I was being "hunted down" . . . and react accordingly. Especially if I believed that he/she was carrying a gun.
What would be a prudent reaction at this time? Personally, if I thought somebody was looking to shoot me, I would tend to go somewhere else. The last thing I would think was a good idea would be to start a fist fight. There are old expressions about bringing a lesser weapon to a gunfight, particularly that it is unwise. Perhaps they carry a certain wisdom.
I hope you're trolling, but if not you must be functionally illiterate. Jane Austen is one of the few authors where you feel that every word is just right and couldn't be improved. Seriously, as a guy I waited a long time to read anything by her, and when I finally did I was blown away by the quality of her writing.
Was this really the best retort you could come up with, NeutronCowboy? I suggest proofreading, you know, to check if a logical point is being made. Ideally, the sentences should form a coherent idea when read using a conventional interpretation of the English language.
How could I deny it after a history class that only taught it? It is certainly true, or at least some version of the truth. So great, everyone should learn about it, which arguably everybody at my school did. There are other major points in American history, and we are not 100% assholes. Ignoring those facts is done with the same blindness.
In my high school American History class, we mostly learned how white people oppressed some people or other people at various times,
Please explain to me how that is incorrect or even not one of the top 5 most important characteristics of the development of the nation.
Honestly, I am sure the class was based in at least some version of the truth. My top 5 list is not finished yet, so it would be hard to say if anything should or should not be there. Other major events in American History, were totally omitted, such as the events leading to the American Revolution, almost anything about the Civil War (besides that everyone in Tennessee was a bigot), any point in time where someone, anyone, was treated fairly, etc.... It seems inappropriate to teach one thing from your top 5 list without teaching the others. Just my $0.02.
In my high school American History class, we mostly learned how white people oppressed some people or other people at various times, and that we should become activists to affect society with communist changes.
More likely a case of somebody lying to get around a FOIA request, for which there will be consequences. All government agencies have very strict regulations concerning record keeping and FOIA, with jail time possible for anyone who fails to abide by those regulations.
Consequences? What, for the requester? I think we both know that nothing will happen. If it ever turns into a real scandal, the president will just say something stupid about George Zimmerman, wait for everyone to go insane, rinse, repeat.
The part where we were comparing the US to NK in earnest. Honestly, I think what we turn a blind eye to there, and what continues to happen in NK, are some of the greatest embarrassments to the human race. We have many stopping points before we get there though. I just though it was funny that they would pick something so feudal and bogus as, "three relations".
That is assuming that 4th Amendment protections have been lost. Have they?
The right being lost is that of not having your communications searched without probable cause. In the past this has typically required a warrant, or at least some justification to be made to the judicial branch. They do still need the warrant for the one guy, but perhaps the more shocking revelation is that one search warrant is giving them the, "go ahead", to spy on hundreds of thousands of people. How many friends do you have, that might have a friend, who then might have a friend who is suspected of something? Note that I say something, instead of terrorism, this is because anti-terrorism laws are used to prosecute normal crime. Case in point, trafficking drugs is now a terrorist act, because by golly some of the proceeds might somehow be going to Osama Bin Laden.
Nah, I was just sharing an incontrovertible fact about North Korea. The rest of that stuff, you are correct that it is wrong, but congratulations because you also made it up.
Then again, if we can lose our 4th amendment protections by association, one must question what other civil rights are subject to forfeiture by association.
In North Korea, under the, "association system", up to three generations of a persons family can be taken permanently to, "a place to make a good person through reeducation", for that person's crimes.
I get the feeling that whoever is actually responsible for sending out the notices has a fair level of malice in their heart, it is the board who hires them that is more interested in returns.
You can return stuff. Been that way since the age of the Dinosaurs.
The blueray player was great though, it was just the Netflix app that felt tacked on. My unit was a low end one about a year ago though, so maybe the contemporary experience will vary. Granted, it has served as an excellent backup to the Roku when we lost the remote.
Trying to fit the debate between freedom and tyranny into a debate about Republicans and Democrats, is like comparing apples and oranges to illustrate the difference between fruit and rocks. Nice try though.

What do a bunch of anarcho-capitalist lapdogs and religious nutjobs have to do with protecting the Constitution and defending Liberty?
In your view, who does have anything to do with defending the Constitution and Liberty?
And if Bill Gates is the one who makes it happen, more power to him! (pun not intended)
If not intended, at least appreciated.

It would hardly be Star Trek movies if every other one wasn't horrible.
The only people punished by DRM are the ones paying money....
Care to point out the stuff I "made it up?"

Here is a wonderful book that anyone wanting to know more about NK prison camps should read: http://www.davidrhawk.com/HiddenGulag.pdf
A very strong argument could be made that it is also cruel or unusual, so therefore prohibited by the 8th amendment to the US constitution.

I actually laughed out loud at this one, thanks.
I have found the sony Blue-Ray player Netflix integration to be HORRIBLE. The Roku is a like a breath of fresh air.
