  1. Re:Dis is one half on Ransomware Creator Apologizes For "Sleeper" Attack, Releases Decryption Keys · · Score: 1

    None of my keys say "any" on them :(

  2. Exactly the same thing in going on with the on Cybersecurity and the Tylenol Murders · · Score: 2

    "Patriot [sic] act" and the "USA Freedom [sic] act". I am so disgusted that congress acting to circumvent the Supreme Court through technicalities, while changing nothing at all is being called "surveillance reform [sic]". If you ever hoped that Obama's background as a professor of constitutional meant that he would protect the bill of rights like I did, you just got shat on.

    Yes, I understand that having the entire world under surveillance all the time is very convenient for law enforcement and keeps us "safer [sic]" than having any right to privacy would. It's just a shame that no one in the government cares.

    Also, do you know how many terrorists they caught with the metadata program? They caught ONE taxi driver who wanted to send a couple thousand to Hamas. That's it. Well, now you know what your freedom used to be worth! Less than one taxi driver's donation.

    You're just not hipster enough for it.

    I don't know about vanilla Mingw, but tdm is on 4.9.2 - just tested, no bug.

  5. Re:Sample questions on Al-Qaeda's Job Application Form Revealed · · Score: 1

    There was a famous math book for small children used in Lebanon and probably Syria that had questions like:
    You have twelve Jews to kill, you kill five of them, how many Jews do you have left to kill?

  6. Re:Innocent is a relative term here on Al-Qaeda's Job Application Form Revealed · · Score: 1

    Naw, they just don't think of people who are unlike themselves as people, and they're sure God agrees and will reward them for killing them.

  7. Sadly I already answered in this topic on Al-Qaeda's Job Application Form Revealed · · Score: 1

    Or I'd mark you and your parent as "overrated." We don't need this kind of bullshit here or anywhere.

  8. Re:Truth be told... on Al-Qaeda's Job Application Form Revealed · · Score: 1

    These 'applicants' would probably never consider the path to jihad if they had a decent job and the ability to earn a living to raise a family

    Sadly, not true there was a study that showed the terrorists, at least in the middle east, tend to come from relatively upper class backgrounds. It's more a bunch of privileged apsies who think they know what God wants and have no human empathy. People who are struggling depend on other people enough to learn a little empathy and have other worries than "what does God want"

    At 1st I misread the notnewsfornerd! as a fnord! http://www.rawilson.com/illumi... :/
    come on, begin gay or lesbian is often a bit nerdy. Church-lady types approve of neither science nor sex, and certainly not non-standard-issue sexual attractions.

  12. Re:you've got a nice algorithm there on Academics Build a New Tor Client Designed To Beat the NSA · · Score: 1

    Our darknets are better than their darknets. If you read the history of darknet systems I think there are two or three of them, Japanese ones, that turned out to have serious flaws - programs are out that will give you the IP addresses of people on one of them, of commenters on the other. And the Japanese police went around picking people up. Major difference from our ones, theirs weren't open sourced.

  15. Re:how long until the internet dies? on FCC Tosses Petition Challenging Its New Internet Regulations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The right wing "news sources" and blogs have been saying that Obama is trying to take away our freedom through net neutrality all along.

    Seriously.

    And in the disqus comments and the like you can read thousands and thousands of hysterical old people screaming and crying about it ...

    It's like that on everything. The hysteria of confused old people is a commodity bought and sold by corporations.

    being allowed to bilk the whole world with junk bonds and fraudulent securities. If the government was allowed the power to regulate, that wouldn't have happened - but corporations bought the government off and apparently will continue to, forever.

    They also control your mind, such as it is.

    Doesn't it say in the Bible that corporations go to heaven? I'm sure it must.

  19. Re:how long until the internet dies? on FCC Tosses Petition Challenging Its New Internet Regulations · · Score: -1, Troll

    The corporate controlled right wing zombie force, like (including?) the Koch brothers neo John Birch Society KKK, are actually being indoctrinated to believe that and have been for months. These are people who can barely figure out flip phones, mostly. And they're all writing letters to congress opposing net neutrality. I wonder how many of those letters are on paper. How many came out of typewriters. Or are hand written.

  20. Re:sampling bias on Is IT Work Getting More Stressful, Or Is It the Millennials? · · Score: 1

    Young men (and some girls) just like to troll people.

    They'll pretend to be racists and the like just because they know it makes people angry, it doesn't mean that they're really those things.

    I say this as a relatively older person. It turns out that it's older people who are whiny and immature.

    People get worse with age, and they no longer have people telling them when they get out of hand.

    People used to complain about 4chan, but when the God damn 70 year olds figured out Disqus they turned out to be much more heartless and disgusting trolls than any 13 year olds. The 13 year olds try to pretend to be racist sexist sh**s but the old people are THE REAL THING. The kids will grow out of it.

    Someday in the future Windows will decide that none of your software is compatible with an update, uninstall it all, be unable to update it due to circular dependencies and then spend 30 hours of your netbook's time and all of its batteries recompiling the Kernel.
