    Or a false flag justification for their attacks.

  2. "a European cloud provider" on Taking a Stand Against Unofficial Ubuntu Images (ubuntu.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That does us no good. Give us a name!!

  3. Re:What contract? on Taking a Stand Against Unofficial Ubuntu Images (ubuntu.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the name that's the problem, not that they're distributing source code.

  4. Thinking that you can amend the US Constitution now is as brainless as you think that Trump voters are.

    Doing it in a cost effective way for such a large scale will be the problem,

    Didn't I just say that??

    Why yes, I did!!! Because... "the biggest challenge will be growing enough seaweed."

    So right wingers are all murderous nutjobs

    Don't think I didn't notice what you tried to do.

    You're saying that because he was a fringe actor we shouldn't equate his actions with the right as a whole? That's fine and all, but it does go both ways.

    No, I'm saying that right wingers don't demand special privileges for being right wing. (Though they may demand special privs for being Christian.)

  9. Re:Nobody expects the Email Inquisition on Cybersecurity CEO Gets Fired After Threatening To Kill Trump On Facebook (mashable.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    The problem is that, "I'm gonna get a sniper rifle and shoot Donald Trump" is in no way shape or form even *related* to humor.

    At. All.

    And I remember him being executed, with full agreement by right-wing white dudes.

  11. The only channel of course is email.

    FTFY.

    A handful of tweets, and a bunch more articles asking "where will the Tea Partiers move to?" That's not much evidence.

  15. Simple logic? If I have a "free" service that it costs me money to maintain, I must somehow make it profitable

    That's not answering my question.

    If I sell software for a profit up front, or a fee I don't necessarily need to sell anything to keep the lights on.

    Shit. Even in this election season, that's the dumbest thing I've read this month.

    Why? Because the purpose of business (especially a publicly traded one) is to make lots of money, not just "keep the lights on."

    If it was discovered that Salesforce.com was selling anything on its users to 3rd parties there'd be a massive shitstorm that could put the company under.

    If it was explicit in the EUA/TOS that they could do it, there would be a bit of a storm, but not much.

    Companies are already cagey enough about having that sort of critical data in a 'trusted" 3rd party's hands to begin with.

    Stop smoking so much dope. Or believing in fairy tales.

    If businesses really cared about that kind of thing, then hosted services wouldn't be so popular.

    I don't recall many (any?) Conservatives saying they'd flee if Obama won. OTOH, it's been an election season pastime to see how many celebs swear they'll move to Canada if The Republican gets elected and then don't move to Canada.

  17. Departures on the half hour fulfills my fantasy.

    Much more realistic.

  18. No guarantee, but it lowers the chances from 100%.

    Whatever evidence do you have for that assertion?

    only 10% of Tor users are journalists, human rights activists, etc. A bit more than half use it to hide illegal activities.

    "few decades" is a bit of a stretch. "15 - 20 years" is much more reasonable.

  25. Saturn V, a very large booster, can put 120 of those metric tons into orbit in one trip ...
    I shudder to think what that would cost today.

    That's why this problem won't be solved until small, cheap fusion reactors are created.
