Every time someone compares a politician to Hitler it diminishes the perceived badness of what Hitler did.
I disagree. The outcome of Hitler's actions and policies are fixed in the public record. The only way for the perception of these data to be diminished is for the politician being compared causes/commits atrocities that exceed the badness of Hitler's.
When an especially smart person is called (or compared to) Einstein, it doesn't affect Albert Einstein's accomplishments, or the effects those accomplishments have had.
"Thousands" of Scots are going to take apart America? How do you figure? Can you name a single city that the Scots could capture without the population shooting at them from "behind every blade of grass?"
How could we open fire on Scottish infiltrators if we're unable to differentiate between friendlies and true Scotsmen?
If you have Netflix and consider yourself a scientist that is not afraid of new evidence, watch "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed". I found the documentary to be disturbing and scary as well as informative and entertaining.
Fuck Netflix, fuck Ben Stein, and fuck you for misrepresenting science and trying to dupe people into paying to watch Stein's tragicomic swipe at science.
One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.
Some people will show that they give a smurf about overcoming temptation to break from God's purpose.
How many gigs of spoofed pings should I send in order to overcome spanking this naughty monkey? I don't know the IPs of any false prophets or anything... Are false profits okay? That way I can just use Facebook IPs.
Those who do will be rewarded when the earth is rebuilt; those who do not will be destroyed.
Yeah yeah yeah, of course, but right now I'm actually more worried about CERT destroying me for these smurfs.
Gandi (https://www.gandi.net/hosting/proposal/price/) was widely recommended during rage-fest we had discussing the GoDaddy-supports-SOPA article discussion. There was one other with near-equal support whose name eludes me, if you care to go back and read that discussion. As I disclaimed before, I have no experience with any hosting companies (since the 1990s... rounds off to never).
I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. I haven't hosted a site; my reference to traffic coverage was in reference to personal use, as a requester. However, many small sites in HTTPS Everywhere's large default list use self-signed certificates. (They are noted as such, and disabled (from having HTTPS auto-enforced) by default). You can find many more by using HTTPS Finder , a complimentary plug-in that (quickly) auto-checks for HTTPS support and adds new rules for HTTPS Everywhere.
Just fine/etc the ISP's that give them an address to use under the guise of "contributing". Hit a few hard enough and then others will be afraid to give them bandwidth.
I think you underestimate the level of importance most societies' people give to the free exchange of information. Not even profit motive will prevail in subduing human nature.
You're willing to pirate commercial software worth hundreds of dollars [...]
A Photoshop license costs hundreds of dollars. To the poster you're replying to, Photoshop is only worth the time and bandwidth necessary to download and share it, plus whatever value he derives from it. I've never heard of a few graphic widgets and greeting cards costing hundreds of dollars.
Save up for it, or use something you can afford.
For what purpose? He's already got a copy of Photoshop.
[W]hen you send mail bombs and make assassination attempts you're a fucking terrorist. this whole pussy-footing around the label is horse shit. Calling a terrorist an 'anarchist' because you don't want to use the word terrorist is as horse-shit as saying only white people can be a racist and is right up there with calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant. Whats next? Calling drug dealers unlicensed pharmacists? Piss or get off the pot.. they're fucking terrorists.
Maybe whoever labeled them isn't as terrified of them as you are? A lot of people consider those who commit violent crimes "criminals."
The only "terrorists" I recognize as such are those who would lock me in a cage for doing business with an unlicensed pharmacist.
I don't know if it's as simple as childhood encouragement. As a 42 year old female who's been working in IT for more than 20 years you can imagine I encourage both my son and daughter to be interested in maths, science and computers. Boy loves it all and is very interested; girl does not want to know. Why is this? Maybe just natural tendencies - I don't know. Wish I did.
It is definitely (in part due to) natural tendencies. The same response is observed in at least one other primate species. I can't remember the specific species with which I saw this demonstrated, but when these young primates were presented with a selection of toys to play with, the females preferred dolls, while the males preferred to play with toy vehicles.
I'm pretty sure I saw this in an episode of BBC Horizon, but I don't have a reference to the particular episode. However, here are links to two articles that discuss primate toy preference:
End to end encryption as standard for everything. Censorship resistant technologies.
There is no resisting rubber-hose decryption.
That's not always the case; torturing me for SSL/TLS session keys would be painfully futile. This holds for >50% of my web traffic, thanks in part to EFF's plug-in, HTTPS Everywhere.
[I]f you AT ALL have any ED problems, or if you jerk off a few times a week, I challenge you to go cold-turkey for six months and observe the changes within yourself. You have nothing to lose!
Bullshit; infrequent ejaculation increases the incidence of prostate cancer, not to mention the more immediate discomfort of blue-balls.
Rational people merit rational debate. Irrational people merit ferocious hostility. Anyone trying to teach you to yield and submit has a motive. Unless they can kick your ass or you need to sell them something, piss on them.

Quoth the first paragraph of the video's review by The New York Times:
One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.
The following link is to TPB's best-seeded torrent. Check the comments; one user has included a link to subtitles that refute the video's claims as they occur: https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4469949/Expelled_-_No_Intelligence_Allowed_%5B2008%5D

In other words someone watched The Last Starfighter. Not exactly a new concept.
Considering the human degradation involved here, I thought maybe these employers had watched Bumfights .
I swear to the Tech Gods that if ANYONE comes out with "organic technology" I will personally use my homeopathic c-clamp to crush their testicles.
Get clamping, Clamps.
How, exactly, does one do search in a mobile app, other than googling it?
On both my phone and computers, I use https://ixquick.com/ or https://duckduckgo.com/; two search providers that seem to actually give a shit about users' privacy.
Scrooge Mcduck never worried about banks and he was loaded.
True, but he did have to contend with the Beagle Boys on a near-constant basis.

Yeah, the Phoenix area pretty much sucks. Scary. Too much meth and right-wing loonies and religious fanatics. I left that popsicle stand.
In Phoenix, that Popsicle stand can mean the difference between life and death.
