I am a geek, but I do own businesses which employ other geeks, on several continents
Now, as a geek I know what we geeks are capable of, good, as well as bad
And I can tell you this one thing - no matter which continents, geeks are geeks, and our 'geekiness' is 'toxic' to those with thinner skin - we geeks like to compete, and whether you like it or not, the thickness of our skin has become one of the 'legitimate competitive category'
Our industry is founded by people who have the urge to learn to code, one key at a time, and spent many months, often years, to upgrade their skills
They did not have to be 'caught' by others - they are successful because they are self-motivated
To say that those 'rounded ones' needed to be caught is thus a misnomer --- as many of those awaiting to be caught do not possess the self-motivation to be successful in the first place
As the world's human population will increase from the current 7 Billion to over 12 Billion within 50 years, large scale gathering, whether it be religious ceremonies, sporting events, musical festivals political carnivals, protests and/or riots will take place, and more people will be trampled to death in stampede
As long as the humans still behave like pack animals, and as long as the designated gathering venues such as Mecca fail to expand to accommodate the vastly increase number of participants, you can count on even worse disasters to happen
I really don't care what the fuck Obama is, all I care is that the PEOPLE will *NOT* be victimized again!
I haven't the time to RTFA yet, so I haven't the slightest idea what the '4 backdoors' are, but anyway... I think the most important thing we must do is to find ways to defeat whatever fucking backdoor (or backdoors) that they might use on us
Any and all suggestions will be very gratefully appreciated !
... they secure the existing digtal assets of country from the not-so-scary-ists and educate the federa/state employees about social engineering. If they cant pass a basic cyber security evaluation, put them to work cleaning restrooms and kitchens where they wont endanger the rest of us...
The above job description fits Hillary Clinton to a 'T'
full pre-emptive nuclear strike against any nation with nuclear triad capabilities will only do one thing effectively: get 100's of millions or billions of human beings killed
Do you know that by 2100 the projected human population on this planet might hit 12 to 13 Billion?
A wholesale purging / thinning of the burgeoning human population _before_ it explodes further might turn out to be a Good Thing[im]
As I am from China, and have picked up quite a bit of Russian while I was in school at China, can I go rogue, join up with the hackers, create all kinds of cyber mayhems, and then turn around sell the information to those on the 'white side' of the line?
The whole thing is mindbogglingly ridiculous!
Are we going to encourage the hackers to create yet another stream of income by selling outdated info of the dark side?
I read the TFA, I even went to the news article at the Guardian, and still I can't find any real link !
It is easy to say that so and so lobby paid thousands to blogs to publish this or that, but until we can read the articles in question ourselves, how are we to believe anything reported in the news article is true?
... a condition where corporations replace the communist state as owner of everything and the people own nothing even if they pay for it...
I really sad to say it, but you do to get out more
From the owner-slave perspective, corporations act like the communist states of yore because they are the owners and they will do whatever they could to protect their turfs
If you ever find yourself to be a customer, take note that to the corporations you are nothing but a slave - something that they own, something that they can squeeze profit from
The grunts know how things work and what's possible in the infrastructure.
Managers have an idea how things.
Directors don't know how things work.
C level has no idea what they even have
A long, long time ago, the grunts totally fell in love with what they do
And then the grunts got promoted, supervising new generation of grunts, and/or got out and formed their own startups
And then they either retire, or their companies got sold... to the MBA types, whose umbilical cords are still attached to Wall Street / Harvard / Princeton
Most of the new generations of grunts don't get as much chance to get promoted, and the process of starting up their own companies got more and more complicated, again, thanks to the MBA types
I was among the grunts from the decades of yore - I still regularly wet my hands with the techno nitty-gritty, but I am a dying breed... as many had simply disappeared, and some who are still making themselves available are big wigs doing their gigs in venues such as the World Economic Forum,

From TFA:
... which implies that NICs can easily manage more than 10 million packets per second, right?
5.8 million packets per second might be fast, but it is still _ much lower _ than the theoretical >10 million packets per second max speed ...
I am curious, has any software (no matter if it's open source, or proprietary) successfully achieved the >10 million packets per second threshold yet?
... Apple decides that big data is more important than users' choice

Where the hell have you been??
America has _won_ the war on terror hands down, so much so that all of us are goddamn ***TERRIFIED BY OUR OWN FUCKING GOVERNMENT*** !!!

No, it ain't him!
No matter how good, how useful a product is, if the name is stupid, it won't be remember
Take toilet paper - what brand of toilet paper can you think of?
Take sport drinks - other than Gatorade, what are the other brands you can remember?
Ice tea ... can you pronounce 'loo-zee-ann'?
Microsoft Windows successfully toppled OS/2 because the 'OS/2' name was too fucking awkward
iPad, iPhone, iPod are popular not only because of their functionality - they have crispy clear sounding name
As for Microsoft Surface? Who the fuck can remember that?

Mao certainly did intend to kill everyone and anyone who questioned his leadership in any way
Mao Ze Dong certainly ain't an angel, but one can certainly state the same about Bush/Cheney on Iraq, Hollander on Libya, or Obama on Syria

I read your rant in utter amazement
I did work for others before I started my own companies, so I get the chance to observe this matter from both sides of the proverbial coin
This is what you said...
"... Sooner or later, someone will figure out that labor comes first. It precedes capital ..."
Dude, your leftist kumbaya can only go so far...
1. Capital *does* come first. Without $$$, how the fuck you can set up a company?
2. Without making a decent profit, how the fuck any commercial entity (ie., a corporation) can continue to exist?
3. Lastly, would you kindly provide us with a citation for the following?
"... when a worker does the same thing we're told it's bad for everyone..."?
Thanks!!
Instead of asking
"Best Country To Avoid Government Surveillance? "
a question better representing the reality we live in could be
"Least hypocritical country which neither pretends that it is democratic, nor that it never spies on its own citizens"

While there _are_ influenza in the Tropics, it does not occur so often
That is why chicken have yet the chance to develop that counter-influenza gene

Of course to Lennart Poettering "su" is broken !!
Long story short --- To that egotistical son of a bitch, anything that is not made by him MUST BE 'broken'
