  1. Re:Not Tor Problems! on Windows DRM-Protected Files Used To Decloak Tor Browser Users (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    I have to wonder at the ethics of law enforcement hosting illegal content.

    Well if you're up to no good you certainly should learn linux and also get some good info on computer security. Use one computer for fun, youtube, surfing, contacting family and friends, playing games. For anything where security is paramount you should use a hardened system. The more dire the ramifications of a breach the more hardened. Perhaps a CD based OS that is impossible to overwrite the system files. A custom built router with a good open source router OS. Keep all files encrypted on a removable micro-SD card. I'm sure if I was involved in anything like this I'd think of other things to do and avoid. Mostly I'm astounded by how careless people engaged in seriously illegal activity often are.

    sadly I think you may be right. Here's hoping Droid companies don't imitate all that shit.

    I know if I bought something that was supposed to help my child and it killed them there would be someone else dying soon afterwards.

    I've never heard of a child dying from teething pain. They do die from medicine occasionally.

    They voluntarily put a warning on the package already. It says homeopathic. What more would you need to know it was useless at best and harmful/deadly at worst.

    The problem is they've found evidence the product is defective and the poison is not properly diluted. From this point if anyone dies it's a murder case. It's not the kids fault the parents are deranged and there have been many cases where crazy/stupid fools have somehow managed to have offspring that far exceed expectations given their bloodline. Humanity is a crap shoot.

  12. I was wondering why something that produces such a small slice of our power needs employs so many people compared to the primary electrical generation methods. Is it that labor intensive?

    That's one of the things they were saying when Obama was wielding his pen. People were asking how the Democrats were going to like it when a Republican got in office. Now they've got a Populist and he's not even slightly bashful. Everything he said he would do he's going to try to do apparently.

    I care about the hardware too and there still isn't a real improvement out there to the 2012 15 inch macbook pro I already have. I'm still waiting on an actual hardware upgrade after 5 years.

    You don't read well dummy. I didn't say he wasn't the best candidate. I basically said there were two shitty candidates and a lot of ppl thought he was the least shitty. Your obsession with gender and sexuality is irrelevant as many of the ppl you denigrate in your ignorant rant also voted for Trump.

    I was surprised there were that many people there considering that it was an entirely negative election. Not many people voted for Trump, most voted against Hilliary. I actually feel a little better about him after his first few days in office. I'm surprised that he's actually checking off his campaign promise list. If he sends 11 million illegals back I'll be amazed.

  17. Okay Ken

  18. I remember Obama doing the same thing with FOX news. And FOX didn't say he was hiring hookers to throw a golden shower party.

  19. math is hard

  20. I doubt it's all about Trump but I bet taking that call from the President of Taiwan that so many people raged at him about didn't hurt our chances.

    It's about politics. There's a big part of the left, not the majority thank God, that are praying the economy will crash and we will go into a rehash of the Great Depression just so they can say I told you so. If Trump supports Net Neutrality they will be against it. If he supports limiting copyright they will support expanding it. It doesn't matter what he does it will be wrong to them because they are anti-Trump. They will shriek in rage for every job this country gains over the next 4 years.

  22. The middle class is the enemy of the elites. They want serfs, not a middle class.

  23. I knew years ahead of time the DNC was going to try to shove Hilliary "It's my turn" Clinton at us. I also knew that unless the Republicans ran Adolph Hitler's clone I was going to probably end up voting Republican. God what a shitty election. I'm still not entirely sure if Trump is crazy or just running a new reality show.

    You may be right. I probably don't have a business mindset. Which might explain why I am so seldom happy with businesses.
