  9. Re:No, it is not possible on FBI Hunt For Child Porn Thwarted By Tor · · Score: 1

    very true, anytime you make something like tor where its hard to track the users people will share all sorts of data legal or not. sad part is the government has not seen the pattern yet. first it was usenet then it was irc then it was Napster then it was gnutella then it still is bittorrent and now there moving to tor. point is no matter what they try to stop something else will replace it.

    that's a different issue, the issue is letting them tax soda that has no real link to making anyone fat. people are fat because they eat everything they see and sit on there ass in front of the tv or computer collecting government checks for being a lazy fat fuck. also diabetes can also be passed on. there is also many thing people with diabetes. that is not linked to wight only in extreme cases.

    sorry but no. the only thing the government is trying to do is find a way to make a buck. remember when the dubbled the price of ciggrets calming it would give us social health care and sll we got was Obama care and and a fine for poor people. a reasonable alternative is to protest this at the gates and keep there grubby little fingers out of it.

    they don't use real sugar in many sodas anymore being the price aruldy got to high compared to the fake stuff. but wtf is this witch hunt on sodas now. and these vs study's trying to say it makes you fat. letting your kids eat everything they want whenever they want makes them fat it does not matter what it is. you can get fat off rice for fucks sakes.

    i dunno what Microsoft is thinking with windows 8. didn't google try the same crappy look its a wbpage desine with chrome os and look how well that went. most just wanna see it dead in favor of a official x86 android. . i agree with everyone hear windows 8 will be another vista disaster where nobody will want it and actively seek downgrades to 7 or run linux. then of course by 9 they will bring back stuff they should have never removed and it will be a hit.
