    So it is their fault you voted for a totally corrupt out of control government who tramples on your rights daily in the name of "security"? Perhaps you should vote for someone who will actually uphold the US Constitution?

    If an attacker has physical access to a computer(PC, Server, phone, etc...), is there anyway to stop them? Is there really any unbreakable way to encrypt your data?

    Yes the same body you voted into office...the same body you are responsible for electing. Either you voted for people who created the franchise laws, or you voted for people who are not tearing those anti-competitive, innovation stifling, laws/ordinances up.

    I know i am attracting the faux news astroturfing drones now, but care to cite how the retirement age protests "..destroyed the economy for the next several years..." considering that was last month? Interested in using your crystal ball to see how my kids have grown.

    So you are of the type which just wants to bend over and get fucked by the government? Who in their right mind would want to raise the retirement age? you might enjoy slaving away at work, but most people would prefer to not work until they are dead. Again, if the government is not working for you, you need to change it so it does.

    so what you are saying is we should a dictatorship...why muddy the water with differing opinions...we need to get things done. If you do not like it, too bad, deal with it.

    Look at how passive and out of touch the USA has become. I highly respect people in France for having massive protests against their government when it does not serve their needs. The USA did this once, but now the people have been brainwashed so heavily that no one protests anything...they just whine and bitch on Slashdot and say they have no choice but to deal with a totally corrupt government _they_ elect.

    So, rather than vote for a non Republican, or non Democrat, you are just going to whine and bitch about it? That makes a lot of sense. The only vote wasted is a vote not cast. Your line of thinking is yet another example of how gullible and brainwashed the populace of the USA is. You know Republicans and Democrats are totally corrupt and unethical yet you continue to vote for them.

    The problem is the customers are the ones responsible for having only Comcast. See, the voters elect politicians who pass laws and ordinances banning competition in the ISP space by granting exclusive franchises. You see a lot of laws being passed now which ban public ISPs. Amazing how people continue to vote for politicians who are so corrupt, but that is what they do. The worst part is, these same people complain about not having a choice of ISPs.

    .net is just a ripoff of java. Not to mention it is a super expensive, proprietary, patent encumbered Microsoft technologies which limits your choices to only Microsoft products. Mono is garbage and will never be able to do everything that Silverturd and .net does thanks to the proprietary nature of .net. You can create a full Enterprise class system with Java and not pay a penny for software or be locked into a single vendor. Choice is good.

    Beacuse Java, unlike .net, actually scales (see london stock exchange for a recent example), costs $0 to use ( microsoft nickel and dimes you to death), and does not lock you into a single vendor.
