  1. I call BS on There Would Be No Iranian Nuclear Talks If Not For Fracking · · Score: 2

    China could easily pick up the slack.

  2. Re:Each other on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 1

    Yes but does this mean that in general people all over the World "don't have a grip" or is there something unique to the US.

  3. Oh...and on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 1

    Fear (the irrational type I believe this article is addressing) comes from your head, fear is mainly generated by ignorance, you don't understand what's going on so you're uncomfortable, the news exacerbates that feeling, so take a long hard look at modern media in the US.

    I dream sometimes I can shut off ever TV and every movie, even stop the Internet, force people to deal with each other face to face.

  4. From your own head. on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 2

    The US is heading in 2 directions, a revolution of violence or a complete collapse coupled with fascism that will begin within the next 5 years.

    It's been my opinion that the US is being dismantled, rights, culture, education, unity.

    Massive injections of illegal aliens, multiple languages, central religion discredited, collapsed public school system, uneducated children with no culture (think about it what is your culture?) collapsed economy, continually putting the same kind of sociopathic people into the same positions of power.

    I think the US is viewed as a problem to a unified one World government and so the termites were dispatched to our financial system, our media was corrupted and now America has no central culture (worth mentioning) and therefore no unity.

    We are not "A people".

    A public fractured and fighting against its self, economic collapse, well you get the picture.

    If you look at history these violent revolutions create a lot of chaos, some things change but given enough time the new society will succumb to the same issues as the last one.

    The only society that works long term is one in which all the participants are forever vigilant and active against the creep of stupidity.

    That leaves the USA out.

  5. Well on Movie Review: Ender's Game · · Score: 1

    Anyone that read the book should prepare to be disappointed, you can't convey that epic read in one movie.

  6. Re:The Korean War never officially ended on North Korea Developing Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons · · Score: 1

    I would like to be there when you realize the NK is a metaphor for all of humanity.

  7. Also on North Korea Developing Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons · · Score: 1

    Candy Mountain is in NK near the unicorn lair.

  8. The quickest. stickiest, hardest to get out from under smear in the book, paedophile.

    Just the accusation is enough to ruin people.

  9. Maybe on Apple Issues First Transparency Report · · Score: 1

    Apple gets around this sort of request by being proactive and supplying the "security forces" with the means to act on their own, through Apple devices.

    In other words designed to be exploited from the ground up.

  10. What's the change in radiation exposure?

  11. Indian Saying on Oil Recovery May Have Triggered Texas Tremors · · Score: 1

    "When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money."

  12. Re:Ugh - Feinstein really shouldn't be off her lea on Feinstein and Rogers: No Clemency For Snowden · · Score: 1

    You're correct to feel that way, she *is* the enemy.

  13. Bah on Feinstein and Rogers: No Clemency For Snowden · · Score: 2

    There was no disservice done to me from what Snowden released, if the governments honestly didn't know they were being bugged they are too stupid to last.
    In fact, no matter what you think of Snowden it's pretty clear that our "security" services are incompetent, so he did us the favour of clearly exposing that.
    In addition, the rhetoric coming from the likes of Feinstein and her ilk (Bloomberg, Schumer, etc) is what really concerns me.

  14. Laugh on Microsoft To Can Skype API; Third-Party Products Will Not Work · · Score: 1

    Was Skype just too effective a communication tool that the NSA asked M$ to buy it? Was it still too effective using 3rd party products as well so that M$ killed the API?

  15. Mind blowing on Airgap-Jumping Malware May Use Ultrasonic Networking To Communicate · · Score: 1

    That someone used audio to spread malware is impressive, that they were able to gain control of the machines is even more impressive.

  16. Welcome to the future on Twitter Marks Clean Sites As Harmful, Breaks Links · · Score: 1

    Of the "safe web", all content not making "me" money gets blocked.

  17. Laugh on Microsoft, Apple and Others Launch Huge Patent Strike at Android · · Score: 1
  18. The wave of the future on Google Chrome Is Getting Automatic Blocking of Malicious Downloads · · Score: 1

    Stupidity is here to stay choice is not.

  19. Useless on Drone-Mounted Laser Weapons Are On the Way · · Score: 1

    An autonomous platform asked to perform beyond existing technology using a weapon that is inefficient, ineffective, and hyper expensive.

    Useless.

  20. What if on Ten Steps You Can Take Against Internet Surveillance · · Score: 1

    The NSA ran out of room? What would it take to flood them overwriting data with random media? A day everyone leaves their phones on Youtube kitty videos? Is it even possible to overwhelm their storage with the cell network? With the Internet?
    Is this what data caps are really about? Surveillance, anti piracy, and monetization?

    As far as encryption goes, it decrypts somewhere.

  21. SSL irrelevent. on The Internet Archive Switches To HTTPS Connections By Default · · Score: 1

    SSL strip (Moxie Marlinspike) or some suped up variant is being used for sure, the NSA has the ultimate MITM so of course they strip.

  22. Stop Using Facebook on Facebook Faces PRISM Data Investigation In Ireland · · Score: 1
  23. Re:Can VPN traffic be identified as such? on Google Wants To Help You Tiptoe Around the NSA & the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    I believe it can be, in addition there are so many legit uses it might be open for that reason, that to block it would create more chaos.
    Just as SSH was always allowed (in and out) on almost every corporation network.

  24. If true on Would-Be Tesla Owners Jump Through Hoops To Skirt Wacky Texas Rules · · Score: 1

    It's entirely illegal whether Texas made it legal or not.

    Doesn't this come under interfering with interstate commerce?

  25. OMG on Cow Burps Tapped For Fuel · · Score: 4, Funny

    I visualize a vast tower full of tubing hooked to burping cows powering a massive AI and all the humans are jacked into the other side living in the Mootrix.
