  1. Re: Oh please! Really? on Congress Seeks To Outlaw Cyber Intel Sharing With Russia (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    Hello, new goalposts.

    It's gone from two weeks ago, being completely ridiculous that anyone in the Trump campaign having any kind of meeting with Russians of a non-trivial nature to yeah, we did, but it wasn't illegal.

    I'm sure if they continue investigating and find that the Trump campaign did work together with the Russian gov't and Putin was sending Donald bags of cash, you'll go "Well, so what. Anything to prevent Clinton from being elected."

    So what?

    Jr, Kushner and Manafort, going into the meeting, all were expecting to meet a agent for the Russian government, to get dirt on Hillary from the agent, and jumped at chance for this meeting.

    Why would it matter if she is a registered foreign agent, or she was or was not an agent for the Russian government.

    This meeting is something that 2-3 weeks ago, The Donald would say is utterly ridiculous, that his son and son-in-law are both patriots that would never meet with a russian agent like this. Hell, based on Trumps comments like "Most people would have taken that meeting", Trump himself would have gone.

    Anything to win.

    Yeah, maybe we should make some kind of joint task force, where we have the Russians help us redesign our nuclear program, so they can't hack into it.

    I understand.

    For you right and wrong are synonymous with legal and illegal. Whatever Trump and his family and his campaign do is right until a judge says "Guilty" and the prison door closes behind them. Therefore, all investigations of them should stop immediately.

    It's totally find for Trump's son, son-in-law, and head of his campaign to meet with someone they all were informed ahead of time was an agent of the Russian gov't, which wanted to help his campaign, to give them dirt on Hillary.

    Clearly, this is Obama's fault, because if one of his minions hadn't let the agent into the country, then they would have nobody to meet.

    Nobody else besides Trump (and Putin I guess) is suggesting that their government should make a joint "cybersecurity" unit between their gov't and Russia to help prevent future cyber-attacks on their elections.

    It was, as usual, something that popped into Trumps head (or perhaps was suggested by Putin), and Trump was mentally unable to figure out, by himself, that it was a bad idea.

    We've elected a stupid, ignorant man simply because he is "different" and was on tv.

    What "late to the game"? They were only late to copying the iPhone.

    They had WinCE (pronounced "wince"), WAY before the iPhone was a gleam in SJ's eye. And when the iPhone was released, the head of Microsoft, at least publicly, dismissed it as a toy. Google at least pivoted to a touch-screen only UI when the iPhone was announced. Microsoft took years to switch.

    Not only that, but just seeing the source is no guarantee. The gov't would have to inspect the source AND compile it and then use that executable. As well as examine all the various virus definition files and only use the ones they have examined. And then somehow make sure Kaspersky isn't holding back some of them and isn't intentionally using an incorrect virus def file (say one that lets through a Russian gov't virus).
