It seems to me that just having access to a machine where a lot of the information is is encrypted by means that the superuser cannot override doesn't do much good. If a pass phrase of a few lines is required to decrypt even brute force could take a while no? Perhaps you could even encrypt your binaries and require them to be executed through some kind of decryption parser before it feeds the decrypted code to the kernel for execution. I am just a lame user and I can dream up all kinds of ways to defeat your Kung Fu, given access and time.
that is just an example the hymalayas are expanding too. even greenland is overrun with polar bears trying to escape the encroaching ice. You cant start with a conclusion and then start looking to support it and call it science...
however I am sure your nobel prize wielding moron can somehow rationalize that all of this ice forming is a result of the warmth created by buffalo farts or some such rot.....
He is a politician not a scientist. Moron seems to fit him very nicely keep swallowing.....
Oh and that peace prize was a real accomplishment eh? while the glaciers grow all over the planet chicken little runs around screamin the world is melting. Then a bunch of doofuses come to the conclusion that the "MORON" screaming at the top of his lungs about the boogie man has done something to benefit world peace? Brilliant! So from this we can conclude what exactly the nobel committee is composed of morons too?
I will say this about that. I am sick and tired of there only being 2 viewpoints expressed. I would like to hear a third, fourth, opinion. To say that choice is pick one from to is like saying what is your favorite color magenta or cyan. That is fine if your favorite happens to be one of those two. Otherwise it is ridiculous.
This rig sounds like a dec based graphic system that I saw being developed at bell labs in homdel. It was around 1986 and they were getting Mandelbrot zooms in real time and could zoom in past the processor's precision in less than a minute taking small gulps. It was a rather impressive thing to watch in the days of ascii graphics. The stuff that they were doing with ray tracing was phenomenal. It probably wouldn't impress a 20 year old today but this was some very cool stuff. I saw them doing stuff I still haven't seen anyone duplicate it. I am looking forward to seeing some real time computer generated graphics that aren't dependent on all kinds of raster trickery.
it seems like to me at some point there will have to be a "central" cpu core that pretends to be the processor. It will then pass on instructions as it receives them and pass the result back. kind of like a kernel in an operating system. this would free coders up from figuring out how to multi thread apps. just do it all in hardware and virtualize it like one core.
Spoken like a true salesman. salesmen generally wildly over estimate their value and how easy they are to come by. Ill grant you a tech with no "personal skills" cannot manage well. A bullshit artist is just that full of shit and useless to technical people. Its just common sense to look within the pool of competent technical talent to look for management to "bring" along. To many times I have been stuck on a project with a politician in charge because this is the traditional business method and the project just failed miserably. Google has a track record of being fairly successful at completing project competently. If this is because they don't promote people above their ability to comprehend what it is they are involved in and this leaves "sales and marketing" out then that explains a lot to me about their success.
The point is not that we don't think that foreigners should not be included in these protections in my opinion. The problem is the irrational desire to blatantly violate what is one of the founding principals of our country. I find it absolutely infuriating that this is actually a topic of discussion given the 4th amendment to the constitution. Everyone I MEAN EVERYONE should be totally outraged by this policy. These drugged up (zoloft, wellbutrin,xanax and god knows what else)psychotic whack jobs running this country can find all kinds of rights for criminals, terrorist, and yes social deviants but, can read the constitution and not see that they are stomping all over the "average" citizen's rights. Well they are just the dirty ole serfs ahem I mean taxpayers.
I find it even more outrageous that we "Americans" sit numbly by and watch this charade.
it is the 4th amendment to the constitution of the united states of america. Why they are discussing anything that violates this with regard to a united states citizen baffles me to no end. what truly astounds me is that anyone that argues in favor of such a violation actually considers themselves a U.S. Citizen much less intelligent.
why when this topic comes up this isn't like one of the first three posts and modded to 5 ill never understand.
FOURTH AMENDMENT [U.S. Constitution] - 'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.'
THIS PRETTY MUCH SAYS IT ALL.
Any variation is simply unconstitutional and another example of out of control government and the sheeples willingness to support it.
If that is true and I have no reason to disbelieve that womans statement its just another reason these people should not have the right to violate us on a whim with some repercussions if they over do it.
oh how nice you took the time to reply to everything that i said. nice retort. You are the superior being you have an answer for everything. why aren't you dictator of the world with that sharp mind of yours. I made my point and you just kept changing the argument. typical whiner...
You hate america and all you can do sit around and cry about it.
"Never before (that I am aware of) has my government sanctioned torture."
So you are the keeper of all knowledge....
"If I had voted for Bush, or not voted at all, then I would have culpability. But I voted against him, and did so twice. How am I to blame? What would you have me do, take up arms?"
So everything that happens in the U.S. is bush's responsibility? UH huh so what do you make of the congress and the supreme court? local and state governments? all sock puppets right?
"No, it doesn't. It does what Sony and Shell and BP tell it to do."
just such an idiotic unsubstantiated statement I can't believe you wrote it much less believe it.
"Normal people do, but Bush isn't "normal people". As another commentor said, he's a psychopath, or at best a sociopath."
Oh so this commentator is what in your delusional world? Let me guess he is the clinical psychiatrist of all people in the universe?
"You've never met me, yet you think you know all about me. I'll bet you can't even tell me my last name, despite the fact that I've posted it here at slashdot."
Pointless your ability to comprehend anything other than your own bowel movements seems beyond your mental powers....
As for your other lame remarks regrading my vocabulary.
wat? fail!
"And I have nothing but pity for you and your apparent medical condition. I urge you to get professional help."
that is your problem in a nutshell you feel so superior to the rest of the human race you feel , feel being the operative word here, that your empathy somehow makes superior. Emo's are ruining the world. You should try developing some critical thinking skills.
let see you have to buy a kicked up version of "vista" to be eligible to "downgrade" it. Then you have to pay a premium for the downgrade. Only in the computer business can something this idiotic be proffered and people will actually go for it. just another reason not to by any crap from any of these people. if you do go for a deal like this then well, hum... nevermind
Somehow I think you are lying. The first time in 56 years over some criminals stashed away in cuba this make you ashamed? You know what just kills me about all of this is that people talk like there is this universal intelligence that drives the country, government, business, etc. Do you think that the cashier at wallmart is under direct supervision of the chairman of the board? Does exactly what they would have them do at all times? Do you really think that "hello my name is tina" cares what wallmarts goals are? Is she part of the evil empire because she has a blue smock on? If you are an American you are part of the government you are just as much to blame as any functionary. Does the government do what you want it to do? If it doesn't does that make you blameless? is it bush's fault that sirhan killed kennedy because he was pro israel? life is random and chaotic "we" want to blame "them" and then exonerate ourselves so we can feel good about ourselves. Liberals seem to be especially good at blaming everyone but themselves for the mess we are in. Its called the human condition and its not static. I think that most people do the try to do the right thing no matter what their politics, religion, ethnicity, or any other category you want to name. That does not mean that it will turn out well. You put gas in your car right? You have electricity and flush toilets don't you? You use a computer that was created for the most part in a communist country that oppresses its citizens don't you. You are guilty of pressuring the government, corporations, and yes probably even your own family into doing things so that you can continue to live the way that you want to. They also want to continue their lifestyles too. So lets all find a straw man to blame friggin everything on and dream up all kinds of rationalizations as to why they and those around them are evil. Then we can feign embarrassment at their actions and feel superior. Yes all sides do it and most of the time they do it at the expense of common sense and reason. You sir are a hypocrite unless you are living in a field growing your own food and of coarse not eating any meat. Your spare time should be spent volunteering for the poor and any money or possessions you own should immediately be given to some charity that supports those that can't or wont support themselves. I have nothing but contempt for your ilk's spoiled whiny self righteousness.
dont confuse the poor people. they think all things technical require some sort of digital component.... you will shatter their world if they find out the term engineer doesn't refer to some kind of uber elite computer skill...
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
it pretty much covers this so, i guess that liberalisms creative reading and interpretations of the constitution has pretty much trashed the whole thing now.
if an outright assault doesn't work then obfuscate. change the subject attack a strawman. Congratulations you are now fail. I never said i was a bush fan. you know nothing of me or my politics. I just stated a negative about a specific person. which i by the way stand by. you have extrapolated all kind of moronic assumptions based on a simple statement. very typical for and "enlightened" "open minded" "thoughtful" "compassionate" "superior" "smug" "whack job" LIBERAL....
my aren't you quite the intellect. now who is name calling...
Oh and yes it is a tirade as he is sitting there all alone.
and yes it is a waste of taxpayer's money because the building is lit up and all the staff that has to entertain him in his delusional pursuit are all getting paid. not to mention the utility and lighting power he is wasting.
as for your ability to determine anything the fact that you are a fan boy pretty much says it all...
well, that is some compliment. I have read a great many posts here on this topic and so many of them were prizes. thanx for the vote! I still think you are being to generous though. After all replying to that post was well uh? you explained it very well...

it would also be nice if all this emotional hysteria would stop. Its really gotten rather ridiculous and absurd.

yeah and you are a doodie head too....
when all else fails resort to name calling.
Like I said you are a weak America hating troll that does nothing to fix anything and has nothing of any value to contribute.
