  1. Re:So SCOTUS says anonymous software = illegal on Supreme Court Gives FBI More Hacking Power (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    The SCOTUS is corrupt plane and simple! We can all jar this one to death, but the simple fact is that the SCOTUS has routinely violated the US Constitution on quite a few issues for their own liking. Come on folks...the pols and courts are corrupted just like the Fed gov't. Check and balances....Ha!

    Yeah, right... Absolutely no credibility morons!!! Oh, and politicians have no credibility either. You all have proven over and over again that you cannot be trusted.

    over generalize... not really, you make some valid points to think about.

  4. Good point.

  5. Pretty straightforward huh? No qualms about that. :O)

    Don't mess with Chuck Norris! :OP

  7. Yes, there is more to "liberal arts" than social sciences. My point of statement was towards social sciences and that may have been confusing. I wasn't trying to paint with a broad brush so to speak. Gotta watch that myself eh?

    Not true. Engineers love surprises...when the damn things starts working! :OP

    Now, that's a good one. :OP

    Isn't this fun?! We just expressed our differences yet... Aren't social sciences great? :O)

  11. My a bit touchy about ole NDT eh? There is plenty of "evidence" if you bother to do the research. I guess your idea of an adult is different than mine...I like to think for myself. Time to end this tangent anyway. Have a great week. Happy Thanksgiving!

  12. Hmm, that has not been my experience. Over 30 years as an engineer....weird eh?

    No, not really. I think you're talking about fascism.

  16. That could be because inexact sciences like liberal arts (social sciences) go no where. Looking at crystal balls all day and trying to paint everyone or a group of people with the same brush is a joke. No reward and it is always wrong.

  17. Unfortunately, NDT has all of his eggs in one basket...only things he can study and explain away. I believe the arrogance of that stance really puts a lot of undue pressure on oneself.

    Sorry to hear that you seem so confused on so many things. I've been an engineer for over 30 years and am pretty much have the opposite world view as you have.

  19. Yup, that's pretty much the story on studies these days. Science (or should I say more in the "Social" Science area) studies start with an opinion/narrative and the search begins to find the supportive information to wedge in there. Pretty sad the state it is in...

  20. Re: Lack of protection on Why the Snowden Situation Shows 'Protected Disclosure' Is Critical (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Fascist BS...? Not sure how to take that comment, nonetheless, the big picture of justification for actions has to be addressed whether it's spying on foreign gov'ts or domestic spying regarding one's own citizenry. Do you not agree? If there is past unjustified intrusions from specific gov'ts, that discussion of "intelligence collection" is legitimate for debate. This should be on everyone's mind since we live in a Constitutionally protected/governed country. Just to head off any confusion, I am not suggesting that our Constitution expands beyond our borders nor does it encompass non-US citizens.

    Interesting.... So other countries hacking into US systems are justified under the guise of "intelligence collection against foreign gov'ts"? Is that the premise here?

    Hmm, regardless of what Snowden said or supposedly exposed there... Are you somehow trying to grab a moral high ground for the US? As in, US spying and hacking attempts into Chinese systems are OK but Chinese hacking attempts into US systems is not...especially when no information to date has been brought forward to justify the US hacking attempts?
