I had to do something similar but the other way around. A php server melted and took all the configs/drivers with it. It was PHP (php4 in 2012!) to MSSQL 2008.
It has never stopped me from playing games? It just pops up a box and says that my saves won't go into the steamcloud. If the game had DRM on top of it then THAT would stop me.
Or sometimes not: For example, I tracked down a fatal error that was occurring because a default argument (an array) was being manipulated inside of a function. It turned out that what PHP was doing was treating that default argument as a static value the first time, and the second time the function was called it was crashing because it was trying to access the first run's value on the stack. I was able to work around it, but that's not a bug in the program, that's a bug in the PHP interpreter.
Wouldn't the value change of the array not matter because it goes out of scope? Every time the function runs it would be default again.
I get the feeling that you just don't like our (making an assumption here) government. That's cool man, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't infringe on anyone else's freedoms. The government is filled with all kinds of people, good and bad. There are checks and balances to keep shit from going too crazy. But as Americans we are also responsible for raising our voices so that the people that we elected know which direction to go. If those elected officials are marching to their own beat then fuck them and let's all vote for someone else.
Emergency powers are very important, imo. I understand what you are saying. That there is a kind of slippery slope there. But i think you can agree that Emergency denotes a temporary situation. Changes to our society that are permanent fall far outside emergency powers. Like the TSA. That is just a huge waste of time and money. I'm probably a bit biased though because i always get the *S* on the plane ticket : /
Honestly i feel that most of the problems we have are with private companies manipulating our officials. When SOPA went off it was fun to watch everyone scramble. Just as they are right now over PRISM. I've signed a couple of the petitions on whitehouse.gov. Check it out, there's a ton of good petitions there (and some crazy crazy ones too). I'm pretty excited to see the answer to this gem: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/pardon-edward-snowden/Dp03vGYD : )
If you'd rather have the Country capitulate because you buried victory in red-tape, that's certainly okay to think. Emergency powers exist for a very good reason. The TSA is not an emergency power. It is the kind of loss of liberty brought about during peace time because of fear. Please direct your attention there. The government is large. The mailman/lady is just as much "the government" as the president. They are not all trying to spy on you, or violate your privacy, or cause you problems. Work with the system. It is your system. If you don't like parts of it then go to a rally, write a letter, call your Senator's office, or whatever you feel comfortable with.
Yikes man, i never said anything that contradicted what you are supporting. I'm talking about War on US soil. You are talking about Peace. It's probably just that you've never had a feel for what a war would be like. No one will follow traffic laws. The TSA probably wouldn't even exist as you know it. Crime will be insane because so many people will be unemployed or stranded away from their homes (imagine all civilian flights being grounded for months). ATMs will run dry and stores will have problems stocking shelves. It would be crazy but most people would just be trying to survive. Petty crimes will be ignored, who has the time and capacity to deal with that? That's not tripe, that's real life. Do you think the US Army would ask a judge for a Search Warrant for every building in a town because a Scout followed an enemy company there? Or do you think the US Army would ask your permission to drop a 500lb bomb on your garage because a tank was hiding in there? That garage will be gone (and everything within a dozen meters of it).
Did you know that the US Military swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution first and before the President or any other position/person?
This relies on Carol controlling everything Alice and Bob can see. Anything outside the channel Carol controls will uncover her. This is why public keys are posted everywhere. "Hmm, Alice, that key doesn't match what i'm seeing here: http://wwwkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&search=ak+mark"
Then in this hypothetical war you would have died. Either when your home was occupied by enemy (and you didn't immediately cave) or when your own troops came to search it because a citizen told them the enemy was near there (and you shot at your own people). War is not an environment where everyone can have their normal freedoms. If we tried, we would lose spectacularly. However that doesn't mean there isn't courtesy. Soldiers aren't going to burst into your home or anything. They knock and ask if you could please wait outside for a few minutes while they search. Then you get to shoot the shit with them and find out how the fighting is going : ) Maybe offer them some drinks? Or even ask if they have time to help you tow your truck down to the shop.
Freedom comes AFTER the fighting, not during. You fight to BE free.
You do not. The private key (used to sign and decrypt) is never exchanged. Nobody can be the man-in-the-middle. If your private key is exposed you issue the revoke and generate a new one after you've cleaned up your box. The private key can also be passworded so that even if someone copies it they can't do much with it.
The public key is free to be copied and pasted anywhere and everywhere. That's what people will use to send mail to you. You can prove it's your public key by having them send you a test message. You will be the only one that can decrypt it. If you can't then they are using the wrong key or someone has tried to replace yours. You reply and tell them that they don't have your key and to get it $here or from the attachment. The only thing a middle-man could do is try to interrupt the process. They could never read mail encrypted with your public key. They could try to cut you out of the process but then they'd no longer be a middle-man but an imposter. I doubt that would last long though. One out of band communication (did you get my email?) and they'd be busted.
I'm sorry, but you are wrong. If there is war on US soil you would find many things suspended. The big one i can think of is searching without a warrant. If there are enemy soldiers (or rebels, or insurgents, or anything) seeking refuge in private buildings. The buildings will be surrounded and searched methodically. Any contraband would be removed and enemy captured (or shot if they are armed and do not immediately surrender). Contraband is usually military grade stuff. I should point out that military grade isn't AR-15s/AK47s. I mean manufactured explosives, armor defeating devices or ammunition, and overly large stockpiles of food and ammo (think of the quantity needed to siege something).
hmmm, i have no idea what you're talking about. When i power mine on it goes to the login screen. Selecting an account brings you to the main menu. I usually go left 3 and down 1 to Netflix. There is no screen of ads to be seen.
Morals don't have to flow from religion. I don't like my stuff being stolen. You don't like your stuff stolen. So we agree not to steal. Some third guy steals from us and we push our morals on him in the form of laws (and the punishments for breaking them). God was never involved.

I think it's more like "meh, good enough".
and someone to blame, lol

Down with Core! Arm all the way!
Except for the part where they have zero rank, no uniforms, and you never see them on TV? It's a civilian organization.

Yeah, nobody uses an online pseudonym.

lol, because you can't know more than one language, right?
PHP derived from C, the language the linux kernel is written in.

Oh damn, sorry. You're right. I didn't see the last line of your previous comment. It is certainly possible and would be awesome to see pulled off : )

TL;DR - It's safe, use it.

Only if there's a lot of drama and talking.
The link worked for me.
The NSA is a civilian organization, not a military one. The US Military is the Navy (including Marines and Coast Guard), Army, and Air Force.
