  1. Re:A little help here. on NSA Says They Have VPNs In a 'Vulcan Death Grip' · · Score: 1

    I like truecrypts approach of layering more than one encryption pipeline. (e.g. AES+twofish)

    In fact I first realized all this is what they were doing when I saw prominent cryptologists (I forget who) recommending against this as "less secure".

    I'd say its because they've been influencing it at the school level CS classes.

    "Its too hard" - "its too easy to make mistakes"
    -"let those who know what they are doing handle it"
    ubiquitous.

    trouble is. as I'm sure you realise. environmental issues are all local in nature.

    and all this sky is falling nonsense and funding takes money away from fixing very very real local environmental issues.

    but those issues aside the rest of it is something of a joke.

    what a load of crock.

    a believable site would say:

    climate myth:man is responsible for the ice melting

    what the science says: the earth has been coming out of an ice age for 10000 years.

    tax is some weird thing you communists do.

    but by "funded by your tax dollars"
    do you mean like new orleans?
    cos I don't think they got much.

    as for storms. wind rain and a barely measurable rise in sea levels.

    now I'm confused.
    I thought the next big problem was a shortage of water. sounds like you americans could do with some extra rain.

    implying planting trees is like sex. and if you don't yo mama will be crab food is definately going to rally the troops.

    surprised no one thought of it sooner.

    perhaps we can all live in tree houses.

    they should use that in their advertising.

    yeah, you are right, they should only try the individual limbs of criminals responsible for doing the damage rather than the whole person.

    yess the department of agriculture is tared by the same brush as the rest of the states.

    In fact, what the US government does reflects on all of you, so yeah, most of the world blames US citizens for all the shit their government does.

    Everyone blames all of sony for all the crap they've pulled over the last decade (not just limited to the rootkit by any means)

    That's just how the world works, and imho anyone arguing different just wants to work in a different branch of such scourges on society and sleep at night.

    You mean.
    Unlike skype and the https protocol........

    You don't seem to understand that tor is still THE most secure communication protocol we have over the internet. So secure that even the Snowden leaks discuss how the agencies you accuse of wanting to use it to spy on you - actually use it so the other agencies can't spy on THEM!

    It's not a panacea, it's not the sole solution, but unless you can point to a *BETTER* solution, what is the point in making blind and blatantly false accusations?

    quite. I know I'm being a little bit counter intuitive. but that is just to help me understand better.

    so. taking that drift velocity for example.
    that v ag = uE doesn't seem to depend on C. and u would appear to be a divide by zero in a superconductor.

    that's what made me "think the question out loud".

    but you disagree with yourself.
    for example "light" can travel faster than light if they are travelling in different mediums.
    a vacuum has really high resistance and I seem to remember that electrons travel at different speeds depending on the resistance.
