what, you mean those indigenous reddish-brown life forms? They were strewn all over the continent, rather than just the small rural reservations to which they were entitled!
that's okay. If you're willing to go to the work of a key exchange over the phone, you might as well tunnel it.
Generate a keypair and instruct the remote party to do the same. Exchange public keys, then sign the HDD key with your private key and encrypt it with the remote party's public key. Then you both have the assurance of having heard (and presumably recognized) the other's voice, and you have guarded the transmission of the HDD key against eavesdroppers.
The indifference of a million teenagers is actually a remarkably difficult force to subvert.
That might be what gives this movement its power; if these protests were being carried out by a small cadre of dedicated, passionate ideologues, then the CoS would have people to retaliate against.
When the raid is huge and each individual's contribution to the raid is small and disinterested, then a campaign of retaliation becomes prohibitively expensive. No one person has done enough to warrant fighting back.
Michael Savage is the most mentally incompetent piece of shit ever to have stumbled upon a microphone. Everything he has ever said in his life was wrong, except where it was tautological.
If he were shot in the head at birth it would not have been soon enough.
If the frat dudes adopt this as a new stupid jocular competition (which I'm certain will be the case) then the pub owners now have a totally weird new driver for beer sales.

There might be a legal distinction between decoding enough data to snoop on a call, and simply decoding enough data to distinguish one unique signal source from another.
a dude is sexually attracted to kids, and he grew up ethically well-adjusted and has gone to great effort to suppress his urges, and he finds that if he blows off some steam watching, say, CGI kid porn, he has an easier time convincing himself to take the longer route to work that doesn't skirt the playground?
We can't even guess at how common or uncommon this might be, since almost all pedophiles make a point of not telling anyone.
However many or few people there are who fit into this category, they're not going to disappear, and we have a legitimate interest in helping them to find safe outlets for their creepy urges. If completely fake, licensed-and-certified child porn is legal and readily available, I expect most closet pedophiles will jump at the chance to get their jollies and not spend every moment they're outside the house worrying that the FBI is imaging their hard drives that very moment.
I'm happy to take income away from real child porn rings. If someone can do so without harming any real children, I want to remove every obstacle for them.
pedophile != child abuser. The distinction is between crime and thoughtcrime, and everyone's forgotten it.
Some people's sex drives are just wired wrong, and I have a great deal of respect for any guy who is able to show the self-denial and mastery over his own biological impulses to ensure the safety of others.
Eventually it will be illegal to think about doing anything illegal. Staying out of jail will be just like The Game.
prohibiting digital alteration of an innocent image of a child so that sexually explicit activity is instead depicted.
Whoa there. Photoshopping up child porn is going to be a crime, even if no child abuse occurs?
I could see if *distributing* such an image was a crime (because of the use of a kid's likeness), but producing it in the first place? If the law says what TFA says it does, this is constitutionally VERY shaky.
What legal precautions should I take the next time I break up with someone to make sure that they don't decide to kill themselves and make me a murderer?
Is it enough if I get them to sign a written promise not to end it all, or do I have to get it notarized?

has anyone suggested setting up a Cantenna yet?
Witches and hoes.
Aww yeah.
I live on the moon, you insensitive clod!

Nah. It's like IPv4 address space. There'll always be more.

Whoa, that's totally the opposite conclusion from what I would've expected!

off topic, but re: your sig.

You must have a source on the 200B story that doesn't cost $20 to read.
This is the Internet, for Pete's sake!

OK, but what if:
a dude is sexually attracted to kids, and he grew up ethically well-adjusted and has gone to great effort to suppress his urges, and he finds that if he blows off some steam watching, say, CGI kid porn, he has an easier time convincing himself to take the longer route to work that doesn't skirt the playground?

here's the thing:

(which I just lost.)
A good argument can be made that ethically-produced child erotica helps pedophiles to live abuse-free lives.
Others will argue that the porn creates its own market, and might give people creepy sexual appetites that they wouldn't otherwise have.
Of course this is controversial, but a decent rhetorician should at least be able to argue the former point without sounding like a kiddy fiddler.
Maybe I'm giving legislators way too much credit.
