as a white person myself, although I don't understand why that makes a difference, I don't, yet. I don't think the black people do either... Although the repubs in my state are trying to change that now, too. You know polling places are neighborhood based, and everybody there pretty much knows everyone else. Pretty sure if I tried to pretend I was my neighbor, someone would notice.
Oh, wait... I said y'all, so you think I'm black. No racism here. Nope, move along, nothing to see here.
I lived in Russia for years, got asked for my papers all the time. It didn't bother me. Just about any other country requires foreigners to carry their papers 100% of the time, regardless of color. If I became a citizen of Russia, I'd still be asked for papers just because I look and sound American. There's no way to get around that and still allow Russia to have orderly immigration.
So we don't want to be socialist like Europe, but its ok to be totalitarian like Russia? Conservative logic never fails to baffle me.
You know, when I was a kid, way back in the 70's before the brown hordes invaded, I used to go out without my license all the time. That's when I had a license, which was suspended more often than not. If a license isn't valid, technically its not legal id. I don't recall being arrested or detained, even when I was pulled over.
This is all xenophobic bullshit, except the part that's about voter suppression, and y'all know it.

So you've figured out how to stop Facebook from selling your personal information and demographics to every company with a media budget? Congratulations, you win the internets.
yes, because government employees pay no state or local taxes, and don't purchase anything at the Wal-Mart. they get regular airdrops from Joe Bidens persanal helicopter, I guess.
Factoid: reduction in government jobs due to cutbacks in the past few years (mostly spearheaded by republican backed austerity measures) are responsible for a percentage point or more in the unemployment rate. Also, too, a lot of those jobs lost were held by women, contrary to the current republican talking point about the how Obama's policies are bad for women.
"If those state and local workers had kept their jobs, they would’ve been making and spending money the whole time, which would have further boosted the economy and provided jobs for other people in the private sector. Economists call this the multiplier effect, and it would’ve pulled the unemployment rate down further. On the flip side, if that demand had never been subtracted from the economy, fewer people would’ve grown discouraged by the economic outlook and would’ve remained in the workforce — instead of dropping out entirely as they did in reality, in large numbers. That would have pushed the unemployment rate back up.
But broadly, the unemployment rate would be significantly lower than it is in the absence of the past three years’ public-sector job losses, which in turn were the direct consequence of the austerity Republicans at the state and federal level demanded. "

Facebook is a media company, more like Time/Warner than IBM, except they produce even less. Facebook delivers eyeballs to advertisers, nothing more.
If pharmacists are allowed to refuse to dispense birth control based on their convictions, and churches can refuse to cover it due to their convictions, doctors should be allowed to refuse to treat idiots based on their convictions. Welcome to the free market, bitches.
Some idiot talking head on Fox actually called Warren Buffet a socialist. If there was ever a need for the phrase "I don't think that word means what you think it means" that was surely it.
The problem is capital gains taxes. The truly rich don't earn paychecks. they take dividends from their investments, or stock options from their boards. Raising income taxes isn't going to hurt them. Thats why Warren Buffet is taxed at a lower rate then his secretary. It's not hyperbole, it's actually true. He is being taxed at 15% on the majority of his income. Any of you all being taxed at 15%? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Not here. Everything goes through a proxy, all webmail sites are blocked, as is FTP to anywhere not specifically opened up through the firewall. The only things opened outbound is http and https. I've heard of tunneling ssh over port 443 to get out, but it's not something I'd want to bet a felony conviction on.
Yep, we've got software that keeps you from writing to USB drives, that watches what you save to your hard drive, scans your email for keywords in case you try to mail confidential info home, network software that checks every PC that attaches to the network to make sure all of the other software is installed and up to date. Grabbing a paper copy off your managers desk and Xeroxing it is about the only thing you can do if you want to steal company data.
This has nothing to do with foul language and everything to do with people walking out the door with account numbers, medical records, credit card info, social security numbers and other valuable private information.
Both these shows do what the real news channels will not. Show a politician lying, then show the video that proves he is lying. How hard is that to do, really?
My wife and I both work, make just over $100k a year and we never miss a show.
When any of the people you list say anything nearly as insane as the crap Palin and Paul spew on a daily basis, I'm sure the Daily Show will be all over it.
Well, that's because people who play with toys in public are weird little nerds. Go up to any woman and ask her who she's rather be with; Luke Skywalker, or Jack fucking Bauer. She will probably pick the one who's best friend isn't a shiny little computer.
LOL - so your reply is "big metal toys with bullets are cooler than little plastic toys with lights! That's how I get chicks." Nice argument there.
Didn't really shoot down the whole "susbstitute for a small penis" theory.
I carry a pistol every day. You know how many people I've ever shot? none.
The other day I was at the grocery store and a woman saw my pistol. When she noticed that the hammer was back (the proper way to carry a 1911 is with a round in the chamber, the hammer back, and the safety on) she asked me "Isn't that dangerous."
My answer to her: "Yes, that's the point of owning a pistol. They're dangerous when you need them to be."
She smiled, got the point, and went about her day.
I've never understood why people walking around carrying light sabers in public like Luke Skywalker are considered weird little nerds, but people carrying a loaded gun in public like Jack fucking Bauer are considered macho. It all looks the same to me.
And guess what those companies did? They RAISED THEIR PRICES for that software by the same amount of money that is being pumped into handouts to hospitals and physician groups!

If you tunnel SSH directly over the proxy yes, but if you tunnel SSH over SSL over the proxy then it would have no way to differentiate it from a genuine HTTPS connection.
Yep that's what i do, except I don't bother proxying web traffic over it. We only open 8080 and 443 outbound through the proxy, so I run an ssh server on a windows box at home, listening on port 443 (port forwarded through my home firewall.) Then I connect and tunnel RDP over it with Putty, and use the Windows box remotely to grab what i need, copying files back over the RDP connection shared drive. Close Putty and delete the registry settings, and most of my tracks are covered from auditing. I have two batch files, one to add the putty config to the registry and one to remove it. I have separate tunnels set up for all of my home PCs, so once I connect to the SSL box I can hit any PC that happens to be on. As far as the proxy can see it's encrypted traffic over port 443, same as any other HTTPS traffic
Mind you I don't use this to fuck off, but I'm in a position where I occasionally need to find tools for creative problem-solving or follow forum threads where there may only be one or two people posting the same problem I'm researching. Or I've left a file at home that I needed at work. Or sometimes I just really need to get to my personal email for one reason or another. Whatever, it's come in handy to have full access to my home network on more than a few occasions. They let us RDP into our work PCs from home through the corporate VPN, so it can't be any more dangerous for me to RDP home through my own VPN.

Nope, it's SOP. Obama's against it, therefore they must be for it. Plus I'm pretty sure at least some of them think it's for making nukyular bombs.

The democrats have never had a majority. Haven't you heard, a majority is 60 out of 100 now.
