    Their data is legally required to be public record anyway.

    Secret Police, like the East German STASI, always lead to abuse. Like this post, by a secret police, who commits a criminal violation of the anti-cyber-bullying laws.

    Criminal complaint filed. Demand for victim restitution registered.

    Why look at attacks on refugees which is a tiny percentage of violent crime?

    Why not look at attacks by refugees, which is a large percentage of violent crime?

    This reminds me of the Black Lives Matter nonsense where they singled out 0.7% of American black deaths and made a stand on it. That is absurd.

    This is a hoax story intended to continue stomping out dissent across social media.

    We are seeeing the largest censorship campaign in known history. You will be asked where you stood: With the all-censoring, pro-genocide population replacers, or with the free people fighting for their lives.

  6. Reduce Fraud! on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Use Computers To Make Elections Better? · · Score: 1

    1. Give each voter a unique receipt. number. They can enter it online to verify their vote was counted and who they voted for.

    2. Allow online access to voter registration data and records of who voted when and where to make crowdsourced voter fraud detection possible.

    3. Allow / requre recording in voting places (so the ballot can not be seen) to lessen fraud.

    4. Publish all challenges to ballots and all evidence aubmitted on a web site.

    5. Require photo ID and verify it in a database (like they do at traffic stops) when someone votes.

    6. Eliminate the ability of big web sites to bias voters - we need a Fairness Doctrine for Silicon Valley and for ISPs that is stronger than Net Nutrality.

    7. Count all minor party votes on election night. Permanently ban from public office any member of any political party that (as a party) has refused to count minor parth votes at the same time they count major party votes. Yes, ban from public office every Democrat and Republican on the plannet. They should feel lucky if we do not return their "favors" and count them as 3/5 of a person while auctioning their children.

    If we ban the smallest pieces of plastic, won't the larger stuff still break down over time?

    They are liars.

    Something like this could work, but they would need to use natural sunlight, and get rid of those chemicals by going to an aquaponics system.

    I meant to say:

  14. Re:NTFS on Ask Slashdot: Best File System For the Ages? · · Score: 1

    One more thing, DO NOT USE TAR, ZIP, OR PAR files! They add a point of failure. You will not find a un-rar program in 20 years, because you used the coolest, best thing out right now that turns out not to be supported past the 2029 update.

  15. NTFS on Ask Slashdot: Best File System For the Ages? · · Score: 1

    I've been archiving file since the 1980's, and have a ~20TB collection at the moment.

    Your potential sources of data loss and solutions are:

    1. Problem: Not being able to find the file in all the disks you have.
    Solution: Organize stuff, even if that means using twice the number of disks to leave room to add future files in the right place. Use the Library of Congress Cataloging system when possible; They really did think of everything.

    2. Problem: Not being able to find a reader for the file. (Thus mis-colored images as the image formats evolve.)
    Solution: Use only a few common formats: JPEG, PDF, DOCX, TXT, GIF. Seriously, even avoid TIFF files.

    3. Problem: Disk failure.
    Solution: Keep multiple copies of everything in different physical locations.

    4. Problem: Not being able to read the obsolete disk format (e.g., MFM, RLL, proprietary 1.76MB formatted 3.5" floppies.)
    This is what you asked about.
    Solution: Keep everything in the MOST COMMON formats available. ZFS is evolving so quickly that you will not be able to find a reader for today's version in 5 years. Stick to NTFS only because FAT32 refuses to deal with large files. Stick to USB enclosures, and make sure you can easily remove the SATA drives to access them directly if necessary.

    They are in the process of succeeding. It's not America's problem.

  17. The people of California believed the global warming lie that their debt would never end, and they cut funding that should have gone to pay for spillway maintenance.

    Bonus points for anyone who can find the original stories that said California was cutting spillway maintenance funds because they would never need the spillways given that global warming was going to cause a never ending drought.

    The truck driver could have checked the DVD player. I have seen truck drivers trained to do exactly that and then to lie about it.

  21. We've all used portable DVD players. How many of them would keep playing a DVD after being hit? I expect the disc would fly out of the ones I've used. It is far more likely that the truck driver has lied.

    Please tell me how. You could lift a spacecraft to orbit, put the stuff in it, and bring it back down, but that is not cheap.
