    The FSF has a leaky sphincter (think goatse) so they shit themselves on a daily basis. It has nothing to do with this particular issue, though.

    No, 45 days after you swallow it, you'll run to the nearest toilet (or wastebasket) and strain to remove the brick residing in your large bowel. You'll understand what women go through when they give birth. The rounded corners usually prevent anal bleeding. Usually.

    You can limit the bandwidth. 20kb/sec is the minimum. I've seen other people advocating using free AWS for tor.

  12. Connect the dots. on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 1

    Today, a former NSA leaker revealed that the NSA spied on judges (including a current SC Justice), politicians, military, etc. Among other names mentioned: Barack Obama in 2003/2004 (while running for US Senate).

    Barack Obama was unopposed in his 2004 senate bid (if you don't count "token" oponent Alan Keys). Why? Because Jack Ryan's sealed divorce records were leaked -- including accusations from his (ex-) wife (Star Trek Voyager actress Jeri Ryan) that he took her to swinger clubs, sex clubs, etc and asked her to participate in wife swapping, gang bangs, etc.

    Was the NSA involved? Barack Obama, Senator, was opposed to the Patriot Act, gitmo, etc. As recently as Inauguration day 2009, he stated that we didn't need to make a "false choice" between security and liberty.

    Something changed his mind. What does the NSA know about Barack Obama?

  13. Re:Good for the economy. on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 2

    bittorrent over tor is frowned upon (although it seems to account for 40% of traffic). There are a limited number of exit nodes and many reject bt ports. Additionally, your encrypted traffic may bounce around the world a few times so you're bogging down the tor network.

    I would encourage everybody to run a tor node, though. Either permanently on a server or temporarily on your computer with vidalia.

  16. Re:GIT sucks on windows on Subversion 1.8 Released But Will You Still Use Git? · · Score: 2

    That was my first reaction to git (coming from svn). But if you use a nice GUI tool to commit, not only can you pick and choose your files, you can pick and choose chunks of files or individual lines to commit.

    Generally, I make a bunch of changes (often unrelated), then eventually I get around to checking them in. On the command line (git commit -a, svn, etc) I would update everything at once. With a git gui, I can break it up into individual commits. And work in progress, debug code, unrelated changes, etc don't get accidentally committed.

    Bennett isn't crapflooding us, he's crapflooding the NSA. I guess he's hoping that if he writes enough pointless shit like this, the NSA's AI bots will commit suicide.

  23. Iran vs US on Snowden Is Lying, Say House Intelligence Committee Leaders · · Score: 2

    Iran is in the news today for their Presidential election, which reminded me of an interesting parallel.

    Iran has a nuclear program. Critics insist they're trying to build nuclear bombs. Iran insists it's for nuclear energy. But take their word on it because they won't let inspectors anywhere near it.

    Which brings us to the NSA and surveillance state. What information are the collecting? What are they doing with it? They won't tell you because it's secret. And anyone who leaks information is a liar. But trust them, they won't do anything illegal or unconstitutional. And you know that because they said so.
