Yes, windows blows, but a smart operating system doesn't protect you. A known flaw in the drivers for a USB drive could still allow execution of arbitrary code.

You had me sold on this theory, right up until you said "warrant".
Then I knew it was bullshit.
Like our government feels the need to recognize the legal process anymore.
You know that he's going to have a trial, right? And that the FBI won't want him to get off because there was no warrant for the evidence the prosecution presents in that trial, right? There might very well be unconstitutional monitoring in this process, but to bring it to court and get a conviction, a warrant is necessary paperwork.
Tor isn't a magic bullet. It's still fundamentally putting your trust in someone else. There's always a human element to relay communications. Any complicit person can yield some useful information. You can encrypt what you're saying, but someone has to know who you're talking to.
Or more specifically, monitoring known(or complicit) tor entry nodes, looking for quantity of activity corresponding to activity by roberts, back tracking to the origin IP address, getting a warrant for a full-on-monitoring of that address, verifying their target, then going for a bust.
Encryption and anonymyzing technology only works in as much as no one with any resources actively wants to figure out who you are. You might be able to hide your message, but you'll never hide your existence.
Well, sorry, I was being a bit judgmental of an internet stranger. I apologize for that. But it seemed reasonable in the face of the fact that you were judging the every single voter you've never met.
Yes, the constitution gave the most power to the only directly elected body because the founders didn't believe in democracy. A brilliant deduction there. Certainly since Americans are not the most educated they've been in history, the moderate popularity of a few inane forms of entertainment is reason for condemnation of an entire society.
Alternatively, if people are such suckers, why haven't you suckered them into doing the right thing?
You do it because the election system was developed very very very early in the modern democratic era, and there hadn't been any "play-testing" of democracy, and then you include those imperfect rules into a constitution that is very hard to amend. It certainly results in the situation you describe, but ignorance is the cause, not malice.
Oh, yes, this is absolutely a "beta, so you'll get used to it" not a "beta so we can get feedback". Otherwise you'd see at least a little editor participation in the comments.
There aren't any slashdot devs anymore, remember the CmdrTaco designed much of the original himself. This is clearly a styling to match dice.com, which means that it's likely their own devs were moved over to a project to perform this particular stylesheet murder.

Yeah, I think it is, since the nominal meaning is the correct one.
No, wrong. You parsed that wrong. Try again, please.
Have you tried a modern art museum? They might haul away your trashbag for you as "found art" too. It's a commentary on a wasteful society.
Facebook or google pretending they are the internet again. Sorry to any of you that enjoyed the days where there were more than 2 websites.
I assume that a reasonable conclusion from a line of reasoning is laughable to you as you as you personally disagree.
That's like blaming the gun when someone is shot. i.e. I think it's a perfectly reasonable thing to say, but someone will argue with you forever.

No, not necessarily. Conjecture is conjecture.

You know how much kids like to rebel against authority figures. It's all a secret plot to teach kids fractions.

Sure is easy to blame people, and move on. Keeps you from having to take any responsibility for change on yourself.
Fine: modern, constitutional, representative democracy.
And it helped me get my insect porn business off the ground, and won me elected office!

It's presumably modded down, not because of the opinion, but because of the antagonistic phrasing, which is the actual grounds for the flamebait mod.

that "flat", pastel, square look. Like, Windows 8. Or new iOS.
There needs to be a word for this: eliminating functionality in the name of creating a "new" way of doing things.
