  1. Re:no remote workers on Pakistan Bans Encryption · · Score: 1

    They won't have anymore telecommuters. One of our workers awhile back was resident in pakistan. No way are we going to let our data over the wire in the clear, so we can't hire from there anymore.

    Guess what? There are plenty of people in your own country that would be happy to work for you. They just won't do it for slave wages, what a shame.

    The baby boomer generation is the greatest generation's GREATEST FAILURE.

    And the boomers greatest failure is raising a bunch of whiny blame-shifters who would rather bitch and moan than get off of their hipster asses and participate in society.

    As soon as iOS5 removes the need for a PC, expect the iPad to accelerate it's genocide of the "normal" computer we're all used to.

    Sure the iPad is a cute toy for the execs and they are really pushing them to doctors as well but they will fill their niches soon and plateau. Typical of all Apple products, sexy and expensive but the glitter wears off fast.

    Meanwhile legions of PC users are actually getting work done...

    I say 80% of evil on earth is ignorance-driven.

    I would say most types of behavior we would call 'evil' stems from lack of empathy rather than just plain ignorance.

    Remember, the people in Congress are always up for re-election (unless retiring).

    Now if a few groups like The Eagles decide to make this a public issue, then their fans may be persuaded to vote in a different person who is more agreeable to The Eagles' argument.

    It is well known that the candidate who drops the most money on his/her campaign is the one who 'wins'. There is a lot of money out there for politicians who are willing to support the desires of these parasites, especially now that money has been ruled 'free speech'.

  11. Re:Who else is using Epsilon? on Hackers Steal Kroger's Customer List · · Score: 1

    So Kroger's customer list is stolen from Epsilon! I wonder what other companies are using Epsilon to manage their customer list. So we need to identify who is managing the client list of Epsilon. If that site is known to be hackable .. hee... hee... :-)

    I found an email this morning from Usbank telling me that they use Epsilon and that my email address was among the stolen files. I did a Google search and apparently Chase also uses the service.

    This isn't good.

  12. Re:I think most of it is crap... on Gadgets For the Ghosthunter · · Score: 1

    EVP and IR camera's can and do pick strange readings. Readings that aren't easily picked out. whether or not they are ghosts is something else, but there are readings that shouldn't be possible with our understanding of the physical world.

    Take an IR camera, and a regular camera, strap them together to they record separately but identical images(offset slight of course) and walk around some of these "haunted" places. it may take a week or so but you will pick up things on the IR camera that isn't recorded by the regular camera. IR camera's can detect heat flows but a heat flow that randomly appears lasts for 5 seconds and disappears is unusual.

    Better yet, take the IR camera outside to look through girls dresses.

    Did I say that out loud?

    Nope, don't flatter yourself. I just hate spammers that join forum discussions just to lure people to their spam links. I had had a few beers and threw some nerd rage your way.

    Well, considering that it was largely the newly minted Tea Party caucus that sunk these three provisions, I'm thinking that a petition from a fringe leftist group probably didn't have much to do with it.

    However, if it makes you feel better, you are free to pretend whatever you like.

    The great thing about tea bags is that once their usefulness has ended you can simply toss them in the garbage and forget about them.

    We'll see how relevant your Tea Party is once the Republicans have finished using you. You might actually have to put down your black and white glasses and finally accept the shades of gray reality has to offer you.
