I'm sorry, but this rings of such blatant ignorance that I couldn't help but respond. Have you ever even been to a poor neighborhood, in your life? I've lived there. Everyone I knew growing up lived there. Poverty doesn&#x2

Certainly could. But God, talk about risky investment. I don't see how you'd reliably make your money back. Not to mention, what business is going to say, "Yeah I want the dregs of somewhere really far away." without ext

I don't see it getting used by a majority- but 10, 20% maybe? Sure. There's a lot of shame that comes with being jobless, and as much as you think we're more entitled as a culture, people who go years without work, while livi

Not all of us are born knowing people who can get us jobs. Fresno had one of the densest populations of poverty in America, and as someone with no college, finding minimum-wage work was near impossible- 4,000 people show up for jobs at groc

Honest question: Have we, as a society, looked into possibly supplying people with short-term loans, with a guaranteed open position for someone at a place in more rural parts of America? Originally, I was born in Fresno, CA. We didn't

Uh, what? They were hashed and salted, from everywhere I've read.

It's a bit aggressive, yet still feels respectful. I like the tone it balances.

There's no reason to limit the length of passwords whatsoever, except perhaps to be sure you're not trying to hash 20mb of text.

Why? Something I've contemplated for a long time is why there isn't a social network catering specifically to peoples' online personas. After all, there's a lot of stuff a lot of us do that we'd rather others not kn

It's a good lesson to learn. After all- most web apps aren't that complicated in the first place. To steal a quote, they're just "skins over databases". Yet, they have immense value.

This post really frustrates me. The moral is right and true: If you don't like what you're doing, stop that, and do what you enjoy. Find a way to make it a viable way of making money. But thinking you can ever avoid being someone&

Then what reason do we have to believe anything Snowden/Greenwald say?
433.
by quaunaut 13y ago
I genuinely don't care about Snowden. I want him to force Greenwald to give us some more fucking information instead of this pussyfooting, because at this point all I'm seeing is those two skewing a lot of facts and getting a lot

I'm still leaning toward the idea that if this is happening at all, it's happening at the ISP/Backbone level. Which would mean none of these companies are lying- but still that the Government is way overstepping, by leaps and

The ethics of this is actually terrifying. On the one hand, this is unbelievably cool, and a really interesting way of getting more people into this kind of technology. On the other hand, we're controlling a living thing like it's

The thing is, those are all NSA folks. The tens of thousands of security professionals I'm talking about is everyone outside the NSA .

> Greenwald has stated that more revelations are coming. I would say to watch this story closely over the next several weeks, but I'm sure you were going to do that anyway. I was, but at this point he needs to offer actual evidence

We have literally no reason to believe that they are doing a database dump. And I'll also refer you to point 3 again- if all they're getting is database dumps(even if daily), why are the claims so much more? I also have a hard tim

Why is that so suspect? That's just TNO-style encryption- as in, you encrypt it going up, and download the encrypted chat history, before decrypting it using your login information. Now, if they're sending it back to you as plaint

Okay, a few things I'm just plainly getting pissed off about every time I see these threads. * Bitching about the words "direct access": Guess what, these are words, they have a meaning. They're saying that the governmen

This opinion is pretty behind the times. Like, two or three years behind the times. Just a few examples of games that make the majority of their funds from virtual goods: League of Legends(the most played game worldwide right now) DotA 2/Te

I'm not so sure they deserve the sympathy though. Nearly every game released for the past several years has been a literal clone of another game- usually so wholesale, so completely devoid of any innovation or new content, that it was ind

You're probably right. I'm just sick of childish arguments being treated as brilliant insights. Doesn't exactly help my case though, does it?

No, you're spending the 2 pounds because you think it's worth it. So that STILL makes his argument nothing more than "I don't think your product is worth the 2 pounds" argument, which still makes the logic of his post absolutely missing the

My problem isn't with their enthusiasm and coffee. My mind is capable enough to understand that the majority of Americans absolutely adore their coffee. Y'know what I absolutely adore? Pudding. Pudding is god damned amazing. I love the tast

The venom is because this is literally nothing but a childish contrarian argument being made because someone can't follow their own logic to conclusion. He can't see the clear point they're making of saying that you think the 2 pounds isn't

You're not seeing the end of the logic chain. You're also failing to see that there are reasons the people that make statements like this, make the statement. * In your head, 2 pounds sounds insignificant to pay for anything(because it is).

by quaunaut 13y ago
This almost seems like just someone being contrarian for the sake of it. I've never used the "Costs less than your latte." spiel, but this is just a childish thing to write. Yes, your coffee is great and wonderful, it's what you look forwar
