  2. The Markov State on The US Now Faces the Same Dilemma Over Drones As It Did Over Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 1

    The Markov State:
    State where the Ricin is admiited not by Umbrella but by Drone.

  3. Question on Study Finds Digital Activism Is Effective, Mostly Non-Violent · · Score: 1

    How do you define 'best'.
    Aren't the USA's average joe & jane in a let's say a rather shitty predicament?
    If you don't see that -- that's what I mean when I raise the question.
    Could it be that the 'terrorism' has been institutionalized?

    That's a feature.
    Any stability the Internet (TM) might boast off -- that's Debian right there.

  8. Re:Debian?? on MATE To Make It Into Debian Repositories · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu is a PR machine.
    "We'll be converting to foo, we'll be rolling our own bar".

    And where does it, on its web pages, say Ubuntu runs Linux?
    For all we care (we don't), they might as well run an MS kernel.
    And I don't mean MS as in M. Shuttleworth.

  9. Re:When... on Vint Cerf Thinks Privacy May Be an Anomaly · · Score: 1

    So why don't you start a website, collecting and publishing ahum ... 'metadata' on the
    ones in power and in charge.

    After all, 'It's only metadata' is their selling point. So what's good for the goose, etc.

  17. Re:Which Encryption Scheme is Safest? Can we tell? on Yahoo Encrypting Data In Wake of NSA Revelations · · Score: 1

    ...how can Yahoo determine if the scheme they implement is actually going to prevent the NSA from decrypting it? It's a serious question

    Yes it is. And these SE-Corps (looking at you GOOGLE!) should be much more vocal and transparent in letting the public know the predicaments they as a Corporation are in, what factors are there to consider, and their respective weights, what the options are that they're contemplating, and what their decisisions, when made, are based on.

    In short -- your users may be searchers, and as such they are learners They are not dumb and will not be kept in the dark!
    To NOT mention, to AVOID SUBJECT, to be SILENT, are all modes of being vocal, as a matter of fact very vocal, but prob. not in the way and having the consequences that your business model much agrees with.

    See this link for some stunning imaging by amateurs: http://www.cometisonnews.com/

    Personally, from its outburst a couple of days ago, I expect it to become negative magnitude easily (the more negative, the brighter).

  22. Re:Fore! on How Big Companies Can Hamper the Surveillance Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    I'd mod you up.
    But in my case, it would have been invalid, since out of /agreement/ to your view,
    as discernable from your post.
    (However, since that view is an ironic comment to the current state of affairs, I
    personally would want to claim a small dissent with the expression of the fact that
    'it doesn't have to be that way' (i.e. it's not a law of nature), with my mind going to
    what Noam Chomsky [now there's a personification of hope!] always says).
