Speaking only for myself, just about everything has to be taken on faith, I neither have the time nor the intellect, in some cases, to understand at a fundamental level what is occurring, but it isn't just science, it's almost all knowledge and concepts that have this "taken on faith factor" because we built what know/think internally from other peoples training and knowledge as we grew and were "raised" (programmed?) by our parents, so how much can we actually verify? What if everything we learned growing up is just plain wrong?
If you think about it how much "original thought" do you really have?
The rise in Satanism seems to match the rise of Catholic pedophiles, considering just how many priest are pedophiles, sexual deviance must be listed in the Catholic recruiting pamphlet as a bonus. IMO the Vatican should be torn down, all their "treasures" sold to benefit Man and of course their library (which points out in their off limits books just how much of a sham/scam Christianity is) will be open to the public so we can discuss why in this day and age the ignorance of religion still exist. Truly I am baffled by religion, that anyone who goes into *any* church can take what happens there as truth, or that it has any more meaning than a well run scam.
What the FBI/CIA/NSA have that does the same thing? Why Goldman Sachs thinks Facebook is worth 50 billion? Why people join and participate in Facebook willing giving up their info for others to profit by?
Something more important is how this will play out down the road, will that porno you downloaded suddenly be used against you retroactively in the newly founded America run by ultra right wing religious fanatics?
Will copy right infringement someday have a death penalty? (you know at least one Hollywood mogul is pushing for that)
Sure, these are very extreme examples, so come up with your own tamer versions, because I am a cynic, I feel the world will be under constant surveillance once machine AI can access and use the CCTV camera systems, back-scatter scanning while walking down the street, every communication monitored for "key words" decrypted on the fly and stored permanently. Hell they may even monitor facial expressions for "malcontents", once all that is in place just imagine what a corrupt government (which they all are) would get up to.
You're kidding your self if you don't think we are headed for a world of hurt, and all thanks to technology as used by fascist and religious nuts.
Wasn't the American government consulting to find a way to discredit Assange and Wikileaks? Didn't defense contractors and Bank of America work together with Palantir Technologies, and Berico Technologies to discredit Wikileaks?
I can't wait till all the bank info comes out, I got a nice long section of hemp rope I've been saving.
I welcome it all, let everyone come forward and spill the secrets.
Gates spends the money on the root of the problem, population control, then you won't have so many babies to die from disease, seriously there are 7 billion people on the planet and we aren't addressing population control but rather keeping more of them alive.
We are in need of a 4 or 5 billion deaths from a super virus.
At this point if you pay for music or movies then you are complicit to these criminals, you are financing their lobbying. Never has there been a better time to be a pirate, stop paying them for anything and they go away, try to do the right thing and pay...well you can figure that out.
You personally have no way to know what is running out there or active malware that's targeting macs, if it hasn't already been detected and made public.
You simply can't know everything out there, your comment is rude and shows an arrogance born of ignorance. Simply read my post again.
"Android with custom hardened OS hands down, Apple has never impressed me with security and they've run off of "macs don't get viruses" for too long (although they never officially state this it is a common misconception)."
Mac's have been infected with viruses in the past and could easily be infected again should anyone make the slightest effort to write malware for the mac, the bottom line here is not many malware programmers are interested in that vector any longer it's botnets and rootkits or whatever makes them money.

Does VPN defeat DPI? Does encryption beat it? If they want to look at everything I do so they can parcel that up and sell it to someone else as well as charge me for using services over their (to me) a dumb pipe, then I should get to use their pipe for free or they should pay me for my info that generates income for them.
They are doing the same thing they did to TV, how many of you actually watch a TV anymore? Not TV shows, an actually TV.
Frankly (feel free to flame) it appears to me that the virus/trojan/botnet programmers/scammers are far more intelligent than the majority of security professionals working the other side of the fence.
Technology kills yet another greedy practice by corporations, first the business and distribution model of movie and music industry (oh OK and porn too) now this!!!!
I love Wikipedia, used it all through school and that information was correct and up to date, seems to me instead of ads Google should take over funding, a few million is nothing to them and it would be a great public relations.
Slashdot Mirror
to get the info for illegal immigration.
In the scheme of "worth saving" where do humans fit in? You know since we cause all the problems.

No one but humans are keeping score, grow up.

I often get my security software from pop ups.
You know...I would say people need to take a test and get a license before they can "surf the net" but look at how well that turned out for cars.
FF4 behaves like it went on a diet, fast and snappy like it used to be.
I approve.

See the difference between "screwed" and "laid".

Were you really ignorant enough to put that info into Facebook?

Propaganda pushed to my over priced hobbled tablet...yay?
Mac OS X is vulnerable because of exactly your attitude, another person might read your comment and not protect themselves.
Even Apples web page states "protection from viruses"

Hopefully you're not in the security business.

This has nothing at all to do with Wikipedia, it has everything to do with the actions of a juror who could have gotten that information elsewhere.
The UN will be one of the first buildings to be burned to the ground.

You're expecting to much from these thieves as they are most likely so drunk thinking isn't an option.
My frat brothers and I would like to know if you could be a little more specific as to where the GPS on the menorah is actually placed.
