If the Koreas start fighting again, why should the US get involved?
Because the Korean War never ended. We are still in a state of conflict with North Korea. That won't end until one side surrenders or offers a peace treaty. And North Korea is evidently not interested, even if they don't intend to start war. However, they will walk into South Korea if we leave.
That artillery wouldn't last very long if a shooting war broke out.
It wouldn't have to. North Korea is essentially holding Seoul hostage. Projections indicate that North Korea would kill millions of people in the first hour after war breaking out, through the use of chemical artillery.
North Korea also has chemical artillery pointed all at Seoul. While a cease fire was a good thing, the consequent amassment of troops and weapons of mass destruction has turned South Korea into North Korea's hostage.
Projections indicate that MILLIONS of South Koreans would die within the first hour of war breaking out.
Feces eating happens naturally and instinctively during birth, and is the how intestinal flora first reaches our bowels. It otherwise takes several months to occur (for example, after Caesareans).
Because if you have a compromised BIOS, it could "read back" whatever you wanted to hear. Asking a hacked BIOS to read itself back to you is like asking a liar whether he is a liar -- it gets you no reliable information.
Surely you jest.
As to updating the BIOS in a TPM system, I imagine that the procedure would be like this:... (3) On next boos, TPM raises an alert saying "BIOS has been replaced -- new bios hash XXXXXXX"
If you think this scheme works, but the one above doesn't, I have a bridge to sell you. Where do you think this data to hash is going to come from? From the BIOS, which you claim is an unreliable source. Indeed, if you rig up a BIOS to return the same signature as your current one, and you can run step 2 with no step 3 or 4.
And how much of that presumed 1000 times more code is in reality just retyping the code to fix a bug, because you couldn't be arsed/were incapable of doing the job correctly in the first place?
Because it is potentially patent encumbered. So if Microsoft decides to sue, suddenly tons of software won't work without breaking the law or using their implementation.
Or maybe he doesn't care for your type of inane babble, and uses the internet solely for his academic pursuits. You know, the same kinds of reasons some people don't watch television, or fall in line with your every whim. PERSONAL REASONS.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that it makes a mockery of the effort of the 35 million working Americans who struggle to feed their families every day.
He was making very broad assumptions about the benefactors of that tax. That's what the problem is. Hidden under the guise of the phrase "those people", as if "those people" were a homogeneous group of leaches. He probably has never met any of "those people" but feels comfortable bashing millions of working class and unemployed.
Strip searches of students are NOT against the law. This particular search was found to be unconstitutional, because the school administrators did not have sufficient evidence.
That's not the line the Supreme Court drew. They denied the constitutionality of a strip search in this particular case, because the school administrators didn't reach a minimal burden of proof before commencing the search. But they affirmed the school's right to conduct invasive (including strip) searches.
You are certainly right about that. If there is no God then you are no more valuable than a cock roach, because all life climbed out of the primordial ooze. Only a personal God can give personal value.
Bullshit.
Value is given by evaluators. In my case, the evaluators are me, and the people who know me well enough to have a valid opinion of me. I don't need a fancy invisible god to see that human beings are more valuable to human beings than cockroaches.
Guess how much Disney I consume. None. This outrages me because if Disney content can be restricted in this way, ANY content can be restricted in this way.
Also, if your ISP pays for Disney.com or whatever, the cost will be passed to you. I have no interest in subsidizing Disney watchers -- at least not under the proposed terms.
Yup, I built pretty much that same box, with an e5200 Wolfdale instead of an AMD X2 (it was in the sweet spot when I built), and no monitor. Came to about $560. Just fine for my file serving, dev-boxing, hide-in-a-cupboard uses.

Very little, thanks for asking.
You're an idiot.
Yes, please tag this story "wheresmypony".

And I do have a problem with that.

Fuck you for saying "those people".

No, they aren't. \
NONE of that contradicts what he said.

It's the ISP that's doing the buying. And they get nothing for their trouble, except a bigger bill to pass on.
Qwest doesn't have access.
I told them I was emailing my ISP, specifically telling them to not pay Disney's extortion...
