    "Lawful interception for devices, but no backdoors"

    Interception is a fucking back door! It's an alternative way to make encryption useless. It's like having a heavy duty front door and deadbolt but leaving the key under the welcome mat.

    More like leaving the key in the lock with a PLB (personal locator beacon for emergency) a flashing strobe light with a 120 decibel siren as a fob.

  16. Re:I get my soft drink cravings on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 1

    looks like the cost for "chargers" could end up being expensive. Syrup looks to be pretty reasonable (about $13.50/gal with a 4Gal purchase), I bought a sodastream and an adapter for paint-ball CO2 cartridges (refill for a couple bucks at Sports Authority) but it doesn't seal quite right and I have to unmount the cart after each use. Plus you have to fill the bottle with carbonated water, THEN add the flavouring, a PITA.

  17. Re:I get my soft drink cravings on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 1

    I cant find it affordably priced in the west (Vegas, San Jose, Phoenix). In Chicago burbs I'd find flavoured soda (no sugar, no sodium) in raspberry, orange, lemon, lime for under 90 cents per 2 liter bottle. All I can find are 1L over $1.25 and usually artificially sweetened (aspartame gives me migraine headaches that last for hours). Hell, I cant even find the more expensive Canfields soda waters on Froogle
