  6. "SECURITY MEASURES" = "FINDING OUT" on IRS Gets Hacked Again, Forced To Scrap Their Entire PIN System (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This time, the IRS detected "automated attacks taking place at an increasing frequency" thanks to the additional defenses it added after that initial hack...

    The IRS is not alone in this. After entities get hacked, they implement tighter detecting tools and sigh with the false comfort that they "are on top of things."

    Look ...

    If your storage building is being ransacked and you put up security cameras that show people breaking in, you have not actually SOLVED anything if the thefts continue.

    It's not hard, folks: Get a goddam lock.

    This.

    Data breaches will halt very soon after litigation becomes the norm.

    At this writing, gatekeepers are not held responsible.

    For every breach, the custodian of the data should pay out the nose.

    Until then?

    Yawn.

    That will help, but a more effective strategy is to find the breaker box and flip them all off and stuff.

    However, be aware that the FBI can, and does, monitor the water flowing up to your house for subtle vibrations caused by voices and footsteps.

    They do the same thing with natural gas.

    They even put vibration sensors on the cable, telephone, and electrical lines that physically attach to your home from that pole out there.

    The only real solution is to move out.

    They will know you did, though.

  17. Here's why it's bullshit ... on Let's Drug Test The Rich Before Approving Tax Deductions, Says US Congresswoman (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ... to test welfare recipients for drug abuse:

    Read the goddam summary and note that it's the OTHER people abusing drugs. 1% vs 9+%.

    Most people on welfare work. Get off your fucking ass and click over to Google to check that.

    Look at the test case in Florida (it's a classic) and look at the current results.

    Here's the real reason for testing welfare recipients:

    1.) They are too fucking poor to to defend themselves. If you and I were subjected to this, as a class, we'd vote the fuckers out of office.

    2.) Stupid people stereotype welfare citizens as non-Americans and not worthy of basic human rights.

    3.) The drug testing companies have lobbyists who push this shit just like commercial prison ventures lobby for imprisonment of minorities for drug possession.

    4.) Politicians' sole endeavor is vote survival and they will sell you bullshit as wild honey, to get reelected.

    I endorse this product. The rock was used by early Native Americans and was called the "apasapion rock."

    I asked an expert in Native American geological studies and he said that, apasapion comes to us from the Greek (ca. 400 BC) for "sex."
