If you use Tor you should pay the price for your malfeasance. Every computer should be registered with the authorities and be remotely accessible and its physical location should be quickly identifiable.
That way, anyone who disagrees with those in power can quickly be crushed and the proletariat will have no way to express their discontent.
I'm running Gentoo and I remember a few years ago, when installing Chrome, it required that I enable a config option in my kernel that would give it the access I mentioned.
At the time I thought "? Why would a web browser need that?"
My memory is a bit cloudy on the details, I admit.
It may have been in relation to the V8 thingie that Chrome apparently needs, I believe that may have been the module in question.
I suspect they do. The only evidence I have is anecdotal but hear me out: I love cat videos (yes, yes, I know, very original) and I've watched hundreds. One thing I noticed was that cats that came from asia tended to have strange-sounding (to my ears) meows. Researchers (not sourced, sorry) have discovered that cats meow not for each other but rather as an attempt to communicate with humans.
Might cats adapt their meows regionally to maximize their effect with the folks they're meowing at? This is what I theorize.
So if wolves can howl with regional accents, why couldn't cats/dogs? Albeit for different reasons.
I think if you programmed it to modulate the voice a little each time (by varying its pitch or other parameter), it would prevent matching algorithms or force said algos to become a lot more intelligent.

I understand creating video-game simulations so real they're hard to distinguish from reality but why bother giving the characters sentience?
If you *do* give your creations sentience, then aren't they as real as you?

Talk about moronic... They couldn't make themselves appear dumber if they tried

Only myself.

On linux, Google Chrome requires you to enable the ability in your kernel that permits arbitrary processes to read the memory of other processes.
Originally intended for debuggers, apparently Google's web-browser won't run unless it can spy on any process in the system.
Nice work Google. Change your motto to "Do evil", please

When I first started programming, I dreamed of owning a Mac.
I couldn't afford one, so I got a PC and learned about programming DOS.
When Windows came around, I bristled when people would tell me "It's just a fad, a toy"
When first being exposed to linux, I told others "It's just a toy" and laughed that it had so much ground to make up to be anything like Windows.
When I switched to linux, I realized that it was Windows and the pre-OSX Mac that were toys.
I suppose I'll be saying the same thing again some day...

I first read that as Dick Clark and I thought "What, again?!?"
I suspect they do.

Yup, stopped reading right there
