  1. Re: Virtual Private Raid on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Implement Site-Wide File Encryption? · · Score: 1

    It's called vSphere. Learn about it.

  2. Re: "Civic Society" not a very impressive euphemis on Steve Bannon Suggests Having Too Many Asian Tech CEOs Undermines 'Civic Society' (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    Allow me to clarify: as a white person, I can assure you that it isn't non-whites who are inferior, it is you bigoted, ignorant folderol who are inferior. I'm not interested in informing or educating you, I'm only interested in your extermination, as you are a cancer on the Republic. You were able to cheat your way into control this time, but the educated, wealthy blue states will eventually eradicate you and your racism, sexism, and xenophobia. This is a war, and you are the enemy, to be shown no quarter.

  3. California pays more to the Federal government than it gets back (it's a "maker" state not a "taker" state), and the state has a surplus.

  4. Re: Just stop raising cows on Can Cow Backpacks Reduce Global Methane Emissions? (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Now I KNOW you're crazy. The notion that fat and cholesterol lead to heart disease just isn't true, it's been totally debunked.

  5. Re: Yes, definitely assholes on Self-Driving Tesla Owners Share Videos of Reckless Driving (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Airline pilots get much more training before they can fly than the average driver does to get a license. A plane's autopilot will keep you on the same heading at the same altitude until you run out of fuel. But if you are at a low enough altitude it can still fly you into a mountain. The real question here: even if the camera couldn't tell white from blue, why didn't the RADAR or LIDAR detect the object and brake the car? Does the Model S lack RADAR?

  6. Re: Not a realistic possibility on President Obama Should Pardon Edward Snowden Before Leaving Office (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Look, you can level all the Ad Hominem attacks at me that you like, but you still haven't refuted my claims about President Obama. I think that's because it's hard to rebut facts. To sum up: it is precisely BECAUSE the president is immoral that he will refuse to pardon Snowden.

  7. Re: There is no "government only" backdoor on Feinstein-Burr Encryption Legislation Is Dead In The Water (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Anyone with access to such keys would be subject to blackmail, extortion, and murder. And do you think other governments are just going to sit by while the U.S. holds the only decryption key? They will pass their own back door legislation, so every time I send an email with S/MIME it's encrypted to more than 200 state-owned keys, any one of which could be compromised at any time to decrypt my message.

  8. Re: Again, Republican obstructionism keeps... on Feinstein-Burr Encryption Legislation Is Dead In The Water (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    She sure is...but maybe that's because so many of those positions she took were Republican positions. Just like Hillary and Obama, Feinstein is a moderate Republican, and not an actual Democrat.

  9. Re: The recurring problem on Feinstein-Burr Encryption Legislation Is Dead In The Water (slashdot.org) · · Score: 2

    The larger problem is Americans don't vote in numbers high enough to retain control of their government, as they do in Europe or Australia. Also, Americans are astonishingly ignorant, so it makes us easy to manipulate. I don't see how we fix this country until we fix these two problems.

  10. But the second amendment was written at a time when we had no standing military, and a citizen militia could repel an armed government force, neither of which is true now, Once you get rid of our military and have formed militias, I'll support your interpretation, but not until then.

  11. Re: Not funneled into on Cupertino's Mayor: Apple 'Abuses Us' By Not Paying Taxes (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Apple is already the top taxpayer in Cupertino. And in California. And in the whole fucking country! While it would have been politic for Steve to mollify the city council by building free wifi for the city after they requested it, it wasn't a requirement for the deal. Until Congress closes all the loopholes, government officials should shut the fuck up about corporate taxation. Apple, Cisco, et al are just playing the rigged game by the rules. And why do they always pick on Apple instead of the dozens of Fortune 500 companies which pay no tax, or worse, get refunds?

  12. Re: Mavericks, same requirements as previous versi on Many Mac OS Users Not Getting Security Updates · · Score: 1

    That is just flat-out wrong. There are several models which can run 10.8 but cannot run 10.9.
