    Where do you live that they normally hide in the woods? Around these parts they don't even bother!

    Unfortunately for them you can do DNS via all sorts of interesting methods, such as within an ICMP packet.

    I can't fathom how they might start blocking that, especially if one applies a simple cipher to the 'wrapped' data as well. Sure, my example does require an outside resource, but that's not really that large of an impediment.

    So wait a minute. What happens if I run my own local resolver? Who's going to enforce this at this level?

    I can query the root servers myself, and from that point talk to the domain's nameservers directly!

  5. Re:antimatter on Anti-Matter Belt Discovered Around Earth · · Score: 2

    If weaponized antimatter was such a big draw, it would be in use by now.

    Why? Because we can already manufacture it. (storage is the problem, and you'd bet your ass the Government(s) would be putting resources into solving that)

    Might want to contact the Forest Service (assuming your a US resident, you don't say).

    Given your reasons, you might be able to get a permit to trap, hunt, or allow others to do so.

    I'd rather keep bees. Bees are awesome. Plus, you can always take a container of them with you and unleash them on demand! ... perhaps I shouldn't keep bees?

    Here's a tip: don't check the "public computer" option and the site will keep you logged in via a cookie. I haven't had to log in for... months?

    4) Perhaps we just don't care for someone trolling for attention, whatever gear they happen to have between their legs?

    I don't know what you expect him to have done? The moment the Republicans wrangled back a legislative majority the power backing that hard negotiation position crumbled away.

    I don't see this as being a party's fault.

    I blame a single man, and a family: Reagan and the Bush family.

    Either that or the Republican party changed around 1981.

    Yea, and the FCC (and any other licensee who notices and/or cares) can come curb-stomp you for it.

    There's also a city/town near where I live called Cumming. Yea. The road signs say "Cumming, next exit".

    You're the moron, sir.

    If someone like me can get around it, enough people can do so as well to render the whole system pointless.

    This is entirely a problem of not having enough quality editors to review modifications, unfortunately.

    Accountability.

    Right now there's no easy way for a random user to look at an admin's history. You don't have to have real names. Just knowing that admin X blasted every comment about Y with position Z, whilst telling the objectors that their opinion (regarding the correctness of such action) was meaningless.

    Easy enough to doctor. It's pointless, unless they require a notary to sign off on it after physically inspecting the card.

    Which is also pointless, as I personally know several notaries who would likely do just such a thing for me.

    How are they going to prove it? What, are they going to start requiring scanned copies of government-issued ID?

    I don't suppose you noticed all those "supposedly"s stuck in there? You know, that actually means something. I didn't just put them there for the hell of it.

    It's "the land of the free" because assholes are (supposedly) held to account for what they do. Supposedly this results in less "this is why we can't have/do nice things"

    You're assuming that the hacks wouldn't involve simulating the source of the signal. They don't actually have to obtain the professional software, they just have to figure out the protocol. This needs be done once.
