That is a load of bull. The US Congress approved both the 1991 military action to remove Saddam's forces from Kuwait, and the 2003 military action to remove Saddam from power. The US public backed both actions at the time. In 1998 Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Change Act passed by Congress.
You claim to remember what Mao did nearly 65 years ago but can't remember what happened in the US a little more than 10 and 20 years ago. Are you quite certain you truly made it out of China, or did you leave something behind? Your heart perhaps?
It's possible we're in the same store, and they are on the wrong side of the isle for you, but we're in different isles. (Not that I would necessarily claim that they are in your isle.)
In the early days the leader of the NSDAP was claimed to be comparable to that of the CPSU.
New York Times, November 28, 1925, p.4. HITLERITE RIOT IN BERLIN Beer Glasses Fly When Speaker Compares Hitler and Lenin
... Last night, Dr. Göbells tried the experiment in Berlin and only police intervention prevented a repetition of the Chemnitz affair.
On the speaker’s assertion that Lenin was the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was very slight, a faction war opened with whizzing beer glasses....
I think I've pointed you at this before. If you have 5-6 minutes to watch starting at 16:03... or maybe 14:15 if you are feeling generous with your time... I think it is worthwhile.
If you're thinking of going for Swedish citizenship and you haven't started already, you might want to think about beginning training up for the Surströmming portion of the test... unless they have repealed that.;)
Most developer's I've met have little interest in being Sys Admins, and even fewer of them had the background to administer a large complex site. (Not that they couldn't learn.) In a similar fashion not many Sys Admins are software engineers even if they are capable, even accomplished coders. They are different skill sets even if there is some overlap, and definitely a significant difference in emphasis. Temporary substitutes for each other at best.
I see you've mastered the Big Lie technique. There is, as you put it, a more "statist asshole" on Slashdot: you. The only reason the "status quo" upsets you is that you want to see the power of the state grow to be ever more encompassing, more powerful, more smothering, making more choices for us, depriving us of our liberties, all of course "for your own good." Obama upsets you because he isn't radical enough, and isn't making changes to American society quick enough. You better be careful what you wish for, you might get it... much to your regret. You apparently pay no attention to the experiences of others.
I am in no way surprised to see you try to depict defending the US as "Anti-American." After all, a weakened and damaged America will be easier to "change," won't it?
You don't support free and open debate. Who are you to talk about "Anti-American" activities? You called me a "Nazi" as an invective, but you are the fascist.
Well well, a visit from one of our persistent local fascists. Here to shout me down again? Or are you just here to show off a new set of jackboots?
By the way, thank you for your last visit. It isn't often that I get treated like Socrates - too dangerous and corrupting to hear, not believing in the god of state. I'm honored. I will grant you I am often the one-eyed man in the land of the blind, but your reaction is unusual: "Who does he think he is with that eye! Poke out that eye! To hell with seeing!" I guess that explains your inclination towards building a dystopia.
True but I doubt that it matters that much since another client talking to the same vulnerable server could compromise the server keys and potentially allow intercepts of other client communications.
The US was out of South Vietnam in 1975. That is nearly 40 years ago. I doubt there are many CIA agents that were working in Vietnam still working at the CIA. Iran Contra is also well into the past. And once again, a former Director of CIA is not a current Director or employee.
The internet certainly did exist in the 1980s. But you basically concede my point then. Tails had nothing to do with the actual fight for freedom that was the struggle against communism let alone the Nazis. The real contributor to freedom was the CIA, not the small Tails project only a few years old.
I look forward to you identifying the relevant facts. You would then be less irritated and probably no be proposing such nonsense.
How many of the present CIA had anything to do with Vietnam? Iran Contra? See, I can play that game too.
Watergate was Nixon's own men, not the CIA.
Were the North Vietnamese in Cambodia and using it to attack South Vietnam? Yes. Are you claiming that Cambodia was outside its rights to ask for assistance against the North Vietnamese occupation of its territory?
Now maybe you can tell me, how much did the Tails project help dissidents against the Communist governments of Poland, USSR, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and many others? What did the Tails project do to defeat Communist takeover attempts in free European countries like Greece? Nothing.
What I wrote has the irritating quality of being true.
... surely this team has advanced the cause of freedom and liberty more than them, in silence.
I'm pretty sure that the answer to that is no. "Tails" isn't more than a few years old. The CIA was fighting communist dictatorships for decades, and before that its predecessor the OSS fought the Nazis.
That is a splendid troll, but all I do is read the media (papers). Maybe you've noticed there is plenty of information there, including much classified information?
Putin's Russia, oddly enough where Snowden now lives, has already been exploiting the information Snowden revealed to strengthen their intelligence apparatus and exploit gaps in those of the West. Snowden doesn't deserve a Nobel but maybe the cover of Time magazine, a distinction he could share with various other notables of ill repute. (Was John Walker or Kim Philby ever on the cover?) On top of that Snowden deserves prosecution.
. They are clearly violating the constitution already and there seems to be no one willing or capable of stopping them.
They are only "violating" the cartoon version of the constitution. The real Constitution is doing ok, at least for this issue.
This really is a Global totalitarian secret police state. They haven't started herding people into camps or anything, but really... what's to stop them?
Do you have any links to info about those "FEMA death camps" you care to share?
What they are doing is preparing for an IPO. I realize that as a corporation in a free enterprise economy that makes them automatically suspect in your eyes, but their actions seem to be pretty typical.

Entirely wrong side of the aisle, my good man.

Snowden betrayed multiple intelligence operations of Australia. Are you cheering that on as well?
True but I doubt that it matters that much since another client talking to the same vulnerable server could compromise the server keys and potentially allow intercepts of other client communications.
Former CIA agents are not current CIA agents.
As the Cambodian situation became worse, the Cambodian government sought military assistance from the United States and South Vietnam.

What about a use case for client software with library dependencies on OpenSSL?

I think that what we have is you feigning ignorance when it suits your argument.
I have little doubt that the OpenBSD team will significantly improve the code.
That is a splendid troll, but all I do is read the media (papers). Maybe you've noticed there is plenty of information there, including much classified information?
... it is reassuring that the Press remains a thorn in the side of those who would oppress.
Unfortunately the Press is all too often no longer "equal opportunity bastards," they are far too partial to one side of the argument.

Wow, a code audit. What a great idea for a FOSS project.
Rhetorical question: I wonder how Euclid managed?
Slingshot. It is a slower process but still provides a useful answer when under primitive conditions.
Don't be silly, the method should work in any country.

They had to test it on school children. Environmental law is too strict to allow testing on rats.
