Ditto... I guess you be right... I'm gonna download all kinds of encryption software just to piss off the government! Yeah! That would make it worth the effort.
SIMPLETON!?!? Anything but. That was just the practical side of what I had to say. I'm pretty radical in ideals, but what I was saying is that hte government (and us) are not really acomplishing anything from there/our actions.
If they start to make the society more tolitarian, then the enemy has one!
But what are we arguing about anyway... they didn't really do anything that affects us. they could listen to our phone conversation anyway, and ect. They probably have the ability to do everything we think they can't. Its only a matter of time before we know.
So what I was trying to say is that there is no real danger to our society! They just have other ways to tap into data communicatiosn (which they have been able to do all along!)
Yeah guess so... I mean it really screws up the whole thing that says we have the right to privacy... one problem tho...
The government doesn't give a good god damn about us. At least the people who really have control over the situation.
And I am by no means a complacent bastard that sits on his ass all day and lets everyone screw him over! I'm as pissed of as everyone else, but its not like they haven't been able to do this from the beggining. Now they just have an excuse.
But the thing is... all these normal Tom dick and harrys think they are gonna have someone watching them 24/7!
If you wanna become a political activist... just give it a break, let them know what you fuckin think! Unless you want to roust many americans from there relitivly good lifestyle in forms of violence... thats just stupid right now.
Now they have more ways to invade our personal lives... but I think maybe some people might want to ease up a bit. Its not like the police and FBI really want to listen to your "Top Secret" phone conversation with your mother or something. Or to read your spam mail or anything like that.
So unless your a mobster (or someone else with a nefarious purpose in life) you don't really have to worry about anything.
This seems a lot like when Diamond got bought by S3... they are discontinuing the Viper V770! And Hercules was one of the companies that was supposed to be one of the main dirtibutors of TNT2 with a couple of other companies (like Creative). So it seems that Creative is gonna have to step in and become the main TNT2 card provider.
It just seems that all the chip companies are starting to make their own boards... which doesn't look good. Less options doesn't seem like a good thing to me.
You almost can tell that this device can be used for nefarious purposes. I guess companies will have to develop an "Anti Person Finder" like the radar detectors and the like.
I have lots of old computers... we use it for all types of things, mainly Linux servers. Just simple stuff... and for 40 bucks you can't lose (thats the going price for one nowadays)
I just wonder if it would be possible to use these old boxes for Seti@home... THAT would be useful (the combined computing power wouldn't be bad, right?)
But don't get rid of these things... they can be used just so you can say "I have [blank#] Computers! Bow down before my geekness!":)
