    "Capable of bearing a child" isn't a good cutoff point for pedophilia. A pedo just got sentenced this week for impregnating a 10-year-old https://www.washingtonpost.com... and as I recall some 5-year-old gave birth in Peru... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Will push forward with continuing to not purchase any of their products.

  4. I currently work at a data center catering to adult websites. Based on what I see as I work, your statement appears to be quite false.

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

    I think this is a major part of TAHOE-LAFS. https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/ta...

    Tahoe-LAFS is a system that helps you to store files. You run a client program on your computer, which talks to one or more storage servers on other computers. When you tell your client to store a file, it will encrypt that file, encode it into multiple pieces, then spread those pieces out among multiple servers. The pieces are all encrypted and protected against modifications. Later, when you ask your client to retrieve the file, it will find the necessary pieces, make sure they haven't been corrupted, reassemble them, and decrypt the result.

    I'm not sure where you think I defined a new function. Are you rectally-sourcing your information?

  11. Steam on a Chromebook? Old News. on Intel ChromeBooks Can Now Run Wine and Steam (codeweavers.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I had Steam (both wine version and Linux version) working on my Asus C710 Chromebook a couple of years ago. The system itself lacked enough power to do any big gaming, but FTL worked well enough.

    Last year I played quite a bit of Skyrim, streaming it from a Windows desktop elsewhere in the house.

    So the top 5% of earners pays only 60% of the taxes, while just the top 1% has 48% of the money?

    If the missing 4% of people are getting at least 12% of the money, then they're still getting off lucky.

    This. A million times, this.

    I used to read about 80 webcomics. Most daily.

    I'd also read about another 30-40 pages whenever they updated.

    Google Reader made it so easy, all I had to do was click the Next button in my bookmark bar over and over until I ran out of Internet. My only whine was that it was always newest first, which sucked if I missed a day for whatever reason and would end up seeing today's comics before yesterday's. :(

    But then Google killed off Reader, and now I only read XKCD and Cyanide+Happiness. :( :( :(

    Where I work, everyone's health care went up about 40% on average last month, with everyone getting either equal or worse coverage than they had previously. I think the ACA was a necessity, but premiums certainly did spike for a lot of people.
