    I couldn't agree more. I recently changed jobs and re-discovered how great it is to be surrounded by intelligent and curious people who like to see why, not just how.

    My friend had a wooden eye. He was really embarrassed about it, but his family could not afford a glass eye. He was a quiet, shy guy who had trouble approaching women. One time, at a school dance I convinced him to approach this cute girl who had some sort of leg problem that caused her to limp. He worked up his courage and asked her, "Would you like to dance?"
    She jumped up and exclaimed, "Would I!"
    He yelled, "Harelip!", and ran away.

    If the gov wanted to murder people, they would have. This is about a contract dispute with a thief hiding behind a mob.

    Grazing cows are very damaging. Granted that damage was done hundreds of years ago. Hint, the southwest wasn't alway barren dessert. The introduction of horses made a huge difference.

    I don't see what the point of that article is? Sure, lots of people were requesting certs. I saw their site slow to a crawl, from 30 seconds to 5 or 10 minutes to get the page to load so I could request certs.

    They did not however, change any of their intermediate trust chain certs. I don't see Commodo really did anything except issue certs as requested, like always.

  15. Re:And the attempt to duplicate their efforts resu on Commenters To Dropbox CEO: Houston, We Have a Problem · · Score: 1

    you guys are down the rabbit hole. Who really cares about the illegal war as it relates to dropbox. Sure she bent the truth, but it was pretty will obsfucated and deniable. Sure she had knowledge of and tried to justify illegal torture, but nobody is being prosecuted or even really investigated. Your objection means nothing, unfortunately.

    The root problem with Condi and Dropbox, is her coziness with the intelligence community, which we know has been infiltrating and damaging encryption, security, and privacy.

    hah, $40 for a doc visit? I wish, more like $90. You'll also happily pay a discounted $75 for the same $100 test that my insurance company negotiates to $7. Which test is marked up that much? I'm not sure, i pay someone to keep track of that stuff, my insurance company.

    Yes, people were denied healthcare they couldn't pay for. Some homeless mentally ill person could feign chest pains and get a full workup and warm bed. Not to mention an ambulance ride. Then skip out on the bill.

    Meanwhile a working poor person with an asthmatic child gets to visit the ER every time their kid has a major attack and then gets shuffled off with no followup.
    -and the hospital will refuse to see you if you have an outstanding bill, barring imminent death.

    I read tons of internet stuff and still get through 2 or 3 fiction books a week (at least). Speed depends on interest level.

    I do have trouble reading straight through technical stuff, I tend to use them for reference instead of reading straight through.

    The difficult part would be deciding between who wins the bids, since time is an unfair determining factor that leaves some other metric like price bid or bidder's history or a random element.

    That's easy... of course my brother-in-law/fraternity brother/ex-coworker wins. Same as now.
