  1. Re:Two minds on Hackers Expose 26,000 Sex Website Passwords · · Score: 1

    I doubt these people are the majority anymore. They may shout louder, but the only thing I see that has a majority view is trying to keep teens from having sex (young pregnancies), and the usual pedophilia & beastiality. The latest country wide debate was about homosexual marriage. (I guess gays in the military might count, too)

    If your on this list, change your password immediately. Then say "Go to that site, it won't work. See, they just put a made-up password with my email."

    If that's the worst they did/do, I'd be happy. Mostly it's affairs, hookers, long-term mistresses, etc. Isn't Penthouse magazine like online porn now? I think Playboy still just shows nudity. Hardcopy vs. online, what the difference?

    Already in the public domain, ie internet. It's not like he's posting secret information for the 1st time.

    That was the first thing to pop into my mind. Unless there is some specific porn stuff that couldn't be found through a search engine? Overseas stuff that is illegal in the US? Sure I may check out some racy pics of celebrities or models, but the more 'intense' stuff was solved when I got married 10 years ago.

  8. Eventually share the data on Fermi Lab's New Particle Discovery in Question · · Score: 1

    I understand keeping the data to yourself/group while you analyze and perhaps publish. I understand not just throwing out huge data sets for everything, but giving it if asked for. Just as long as the data is not made 'confidential' forever, though I'm sure some (many?) may be classified as 'secret' due to government involvement.

    But how would you set it up that the ghost guard the pellets? They have to keep moving, so at some point the pellets will be exposed.

    All this article was, was an announcement for an announcement. (could I get any more repetitive?) A list of people and groups who will be there. Yay! Nothing substantive besides, basically, "this will be awesome, and will use IT!"

    Bad even for /.

    Cool, I must have had an honorary CS degree when I was using my Apple ][ and Amiga 1000.
    Then you give MS credit for x86 architecture, which is hardware. Interesting.
    Far as I know, OS X is way cheaper than Windows.
    Don't know what the 'locked down features' are that you are talking about.
    And then you go back to IBM.

    Might want to streamline your arguments a little better, next time. You run all over the place with little direction, mixing your arguments into each other.

    I keep trying to think of a properly worded joke along the lines of "just use taste testers." Not working.

    Oh sweet monkey balls, that is so sad, funny, and probably happens a lot that I don't if I should laugh or feel pity for designers. Can I do both in good conscious?

    It's a bit different. I'm not finding it onerous. Of course, I have about 150 movies backlogged already, and I normally already know what I'm looking for, so.... ehh.

  22. Re:What's good for the goose on US Funding Stealth Internets to Circumvent Repressive Regimes · · Score: 1

    Yes, I was wondering if either the government or someone (like Anonymous) has or is thinking about deploying a 'shadow internet' within US (maybe Mexico & Canada, too?) borders. The gov already has separate hardlines, so who's to say that those 'Verizon' workers putting in new fiber are actually working for Verizon instead of putting in new hardlines for the gov? Or using reserved frequencies for wireless communications? As for non-gov groups, there are also other channels to use. Wonder if the gov would bother tapping old-style modem to modem comms? VPNs, encryption, anonymizing nodes, extra-US nodes...
