Shortly after the 9-11 attacks, there was a spammer who posted a diatribe against the anti-spam posts, defending his free-speech rights to spam by saying "you guys are the real terrorists!"
That's funny. I believe that was the reaction we got as well from the original Green Card Lawyers.
Failing to equip children to deal with today because you are longing for yesterday or because a child was distracted is most definitely abuse.
Failing to equip children, such as teaching them that a fifteen second long attention span is plenty? Such as teaching them that proficiency with spelling, grammar, math & etc. are unnecessary skills now that you can look up anything on a computer? Such as teaching them Justin Bieber and Britney Spears are just fine examples of musical mastery, and that's just the sort of performance we expect them to emulate if they hope to make something of themselves?
If you want to do them a favour, equip them to deal (survive) with less. Based on what I see these days, that's what they can expect in their future. Learning to enjoy reading would be a good start. Eliminating irrelevant concentration-busting intrusions, such as from cell phones, would help too.
You do not, and I suspect there's a wikipedia page for the phenomenon of arguments beginning with that phrase made instantly false due to that phrase preceding them.
(e) botnets that use TOR for command and control stuff.
Entirely possible. I could be one of them. Prodded by all the bad NSA publicity, I recently installed a tor daemon meaning to look into how to use it. Gkrellm does show lots of stuff going on, but I've not looked into tor further than reading through/etc/default/tor. I've no idea what to use it for. I intend to eventually learn how.
Journalists need to start calling people out on their bullshit with actual facts rather than reporting "Well according to obviously biased source A..."
Tell that to the cops reporting the street value of the latest drug bust. It's expected inflation.
You are using an antiquated early 20th century practice for your analogy. It was found that driving the vulnerable community underground with draconian quarantine practice is counterproductive.
Yeah. Current practice is to just throw it away and buy a new one. This's immeasurably improved the situation for everyone affected.
The hypocrisy of the/. crowd it quite stunning : most of them would do exactly the same if given the chance.
I believe you're tarring yourself there more than your intended targets. I've never given a rat's ass about co-workers' or supervisors' personal secrets or private lives. I very much doubt that anyone who chooses tech for a career would find that cruft the least bit interesting. If you do, you might find reality TV more entertaining than/.
But there is no doubt that he was doing illegal things and he KNEW they were illegal and actively took measures to avoid being identified or caught.
I'll bet if you watched closely enough, that would describe everybody.
I don't know anyone that isn't aware that breaking and entering is a crime.
Breaking and entering, to steal back stuff that was his and was stolen/misappropriated. You go ahead and hire a lawyer and rely on your pathetically flawed legal system. The rest of us have better things to do than futz with entitled morons.

Defendants cannot commit perjury, they have the right to lie.
I believe you're mistaken. There's plenty of things like interfering with an investigation or the course of justice that they can charge you with for lying. You (generally) have the right to remain silent (in the USA). Use it.
There are no (as in NONE) states that require you take one.
The issue is when a polygraph is a defacto requirement for getting certain jobs even if you have a right to refuse.
That's not the only issue. Plenty of LEOs assume failing the polygraph indicates guilt so they'll double down on proving guilt on the part of their suspect instead of widening their search to find the real perpetrator.
But thinking that the FISA infrastructure will just be swept away with without something having to fill the void is just not realistic.
Why? You'd end up with what you had before. NSA and CIA spying on foreigners, FBI on citizens, courts issuing warrants on probable cause, etc. What else is needed, besides lots of politicos in jail for treason?

Unjustifiable downmods ...
If you posted discussion, perhaps it would be otherwise. Instead, you pontificate. Zzzz ...

I believe the suspicion is the RDRAND cpu instruction itself is a black box from intel that may have been subverted by the NSA.
Based on recent news, anyone would be perfectly justified in believing that, and may even be correct. Linus: 1. rdrand: 0.
I'm no expert though; I just read TFA.I'm no expert though; I just read TFA.
FAIL!!!!
First off, everyone that posts here is an expert. Sometimes self proclaimed but expert none the less. Secondly, reading TFA is strictly /forbidden.
Would you please go play in traffic? Thanks.
Low hanging fruit abounds.
For that matter look at George W. Bush. He didn't have to plagiarize, he simply had daddy buy the papers.
Wow, still blaming Bush for everything. When will people grow up.
Jesus, would you two just get a room already?
You mispelled lazy. Thanks.
An MBA who had a C average in college and ran every business given to him by his daddy into the ground is what anyone thought was a "super genius"?
Imagine what all those people who supported and voted for him to get there were thinking.
Not to mention what they paid for the IT guy who walked out the door of those secret, guarded facilities with all the secrets in his pocket.
Yeah, what was that IT guy doing there allowing such an abysmal internal security regime to continue?
Just run a TOR exit node ...
Hardly an option in my circumstances, a laptop grabbing IP from almost random sources.
... but I've not looked into tor further than reading through /etc/default/tor ...
... and reading through log files that it works, whatever its doing.

Did you know it's now illegal to use a pellet gun in city limits? I did that all the time as a kid (no, not shooting windows! :-).
