    "a slight liberal lean"... during the 2016 election cycle, their parent company, Time Warner, donated over $500,000 to Hillary (and $37,000 to Bernie, lol). https://www.opensecrets.org/or....

    It must be hard for you, I mean, having the same name as him. I celebrate the guy's entire catalogue.

  10. Re: The farther left you go, the more you lose on Canada Reinstates Mandatory Census, To Delight of Social Scientists (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 0

    Not wanting to fill out an intrusive form like this for no good reason, divulging personal history and other sensitive information to the government, does not make you a "paranoid conservative". It is the prudent thing to do. Setting aside the fear of the government having such information on you; how much do you trust their information security? The census information would be a treasure trove for social engineers. Rather than saying "paranoid conservatives", you should say "people who aren't fucking idiots and weren't born yesterday". Political affiliation has nothing to do with desiring privacy.

  21. Re:Absence?! on How Ready Is IPv6 To Succeed IPv4? · · Score: 1

    NAT has no security benefits.

    Just because that is repeated ad-nauseam doesn't make it true.

    Of course NAT has security benefits: It acts basically as a "one-way" firewall, which is exactly what most people that don't run a server at home need.

    Of course you could configure a IPv6-firewall the same way, but that would take several days and who has time for that?

    NAT IS NOT A FIREWALL IN ANY SENSE OF THE TERM. Also, why is anyone bothering to debate v4 vs v6 with people who think that NAT is a firewall, and that you have to "call AT&T and request IPv6"?

  25. Re: RSA keys are the new nightmare on Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Keychain? · · Score: 1

    You must mean something like securID token dongles because RSA keys do not weight anything and you can put thousands of them on one single USB dongle.
