Have you actually played golf on a course? It is a park. It's quite nice and relaxing, so long as you don't care about your golf score...

This is not completely true. Even back then, certain computers running skype could become "super nodes" that handled incoming connections to devices e.g. behind NAT. All you needed to do to wiretap was become one of these nodes,

They can't be made for less so if the value isn't there for you, stay out of that market (I never have or will bought a 3D TV for this reason). Buy your "dumb phone" and be happy.

The problem with Ballmer has always been that the man has literally no vision. I saw him speak once and have questions afterwards. He was actually a very good speaker but when the questions came the whole thing fell apart. Someone asked

Unless that particular farm is the US or North Korea. Both of which expect you to keep filing taxes on money you earn no matter where you earn it [1]. [1] Obviously there are exemptions for foreign earned income, but if you're in cou

One advantage of Switzerland is that the people have a much stronger voice in telling their politicians to do exactly that (and in some cases, voting on the issues themselves).

There is truth to the fact that we can't completely choose who we work for. But none the less, you are responsible for the choices you make. If a man is repeatedly raped and abused as a child we still hold him accountable as a man wh

Lots of reasons. If someone were employed by, say, the Gestapo then it's pretty clear you would want to discriminate against them.

I consider spending your life behind bars as a form of torture as well, or very close. It's certainly incredibly barbaric and I can't think of any advantage it has over a mental hospital.

No, I'm saying before you waste hours and hours doing tedious tasks on Turks, just get a job at McDonald's. It will pay more and probably be less tedious.

Those on earth would still have the biggest military and as soon as the martian colony made it clear that they didn't submit to which ever overlords claimed them, that army would be in space on its way to Mars.

True, but at least you might enjoy it.

What do you imagine will happen if Musk lands on Mars? Various countries will be claiming jurisdiction before he lands (assuming they don't already). They could simply call mars an extension of their country and hold him accountable

It seems to me like the GP got that and responded appropriately.

But that's irrelevant. I'm sure most in the UK didn't like one of their own being extradited to the US for having a UK-legal link site.

In this context "transparent" means "we can see what you're doing" not "hide even more from us".

Get rid of all the financial data passing to the US! Fuck them, they were the absolute worst player in the financial crisis. How dare they demand that everyone send them all the details of almost all financial dealings.

So if they're beyond help you want to torture them? Why not put them into a mental hospital and try to work out what went wrong? They'll still have a sucky life, but at least we might get something useful out of it.

I'm misquoting you? I copied your line exactly... You can look right above and see it there unless you've edited it.

I was furious when I was under the impression they were slurping up any data that came near the US. Now I'm even more appalled.

Well, as I stated: in Smalltalk I can trace statement by statement (compound statements work flawlessly), make a change to a method and the debugger does the right thing. With SBCL under SLIME on Emacs I have to fiddle around with optimize

I think that would be news to the rest of the world since it's likely illegal in most of it.

So you've compiled your entire OS from source with a compiler you verified to be safe? Because if you use a prebuilt OS how do you know it isn't already "root kitted" to not show certain traffic?

Actions have to be taken. Germany is spying on its citizens. The US is spying on everyone . It's pretty obvious where the priority should be here. Man I'm so sick of any fucking action anyone suggests getting met by a bunch

Of course it fucking helps. Every step helps. Your suggestion is so useless to be irritating. "Oh, we can't say anything because there might be some asshole on the internet who could make it sound hypocritical. We best just ke

Are you saying the NSA is spying even on traffic that never goes near the USA? That would be one of the biggest claims so far. EDIT: appears the claim isn't as big as I thought, though I'm surprised that's not the case!

There are many ways you could legally put an encrypted file on someone else's computer. But if you use actual KP then you're putting yourself at unnecessary risk. Better to have something innocent so if you get caught before you

Maybe Obama really is an extremist muslim trying to destroy America? Things are getting bizarre enough that that no longer seems one of the craziest ideas I've heard.

And what possible plan of attack is there for fixing its problems? Voting clearly doesn't work. Violent revolution has about a 0.0000000001% chance of success (if I'm extremely generous). If you could get hundreds of thousands
