  1. Encryption has few (If any) valid private uses on A Bit of Bittorrent Bother · · Score: 1

    The "valid" uses of encryption you mentioned are largely commercial, and require an actual business to do things like get an SSL certificate. Very few people outside of paranoid the tinfoil hat wearing crowd do things like encrypt their e-mail traffic. E-mail encryption is justifiably considered a red flag, for the simple fact that so few people see the need to use it. How many businesses really encrypt their communications? None that I know of. Hell, from what I hear the CIA and NSA still use so called "plain text" e-mail for most electronic communication.

  2. Re:Your tax forms on Minnesota GOP's CD Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Without income taxes, you wouldn't get to spend money you didn't earn

    On the bright side, the new budget cuts a lot of that entitlement crap. Not enough, but it's better than it was before.

    Even that high water mark of Liberal "news" PBS is getting a budget cut.

    Still not as good as cutting 100% of it's budget, but again, it's progress.

    You ever notice that Liberal news programs don't last that long? Air America is bankrupt. If we got rid of PBS, most of the Liberals would be stranded without any way to annoy the Conservative Majority.

  3. Re:Spying on innocent Americans? on Minnesota GOP's CD Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Uhm, kid, it's a SURVEY. The kind that's been sent out on PAPER for ages. This one is just faster, because you don't have to mail it back. Aside from that, it's no different.

  4. Re:Spyware? on Minnesota GOP's CD Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    No, it's called a SURVEY being distributed in the MAIL. Why are you liberals up in arms? Just because a computer is being used instead of an envelope?
