i said this in another comment:

i'm not saying anyone with a CCNA can hack Tor

i'm saying that anything that exists that can be transmitted and decoded can also be accessed by a third party

if it exists, it's not "secure"

maybe my analogy is awkward, but it's valid and accurate

what i'm really trying to say is, if you can access it, so can someone else

i'm not saying anyone with a CCNA can hack Tor

i'm saying that anything that exists that can be transmitted and decoded can also be accessed by a third party

if it exists, it's not "secure"

maybe my analogy is awkward, but it's valid and accurate

anyone who has done IT or t-Comm work knows how they did this...

if you're not a CCNA, then this analogy may help:

your data in transmission is like a swimming pool

if you want to keep people out, you can fence it, protect it, lock it down any number of ways...

but as long as you can use it, others can gain access as well...

absolutely no one cares about your thoughts on government regulation or that you're "still waiting" because you're inherently, philosophically biased against ALL GOVERNMENT REGULATION

you've removed yourself from the discussion by taking an irrational position

we could/should be on Mars **now** but as a NASA/ESA/JAXA combined science/colonization/mining mission....not some reality show!

TFA is a good article...it's one of the few times I'd read TFA *before* it was on /.

the author does a good job of telling the truth (MarsONE is a SCAM) while respecting the dreams/dignitiy of the unfortunate souls who have dropped everything to sign up

what MarsOne tells me is that **people are ready for this**...it's time to go...but there's only one way to do this: FULL ON...no half-assed reality shows...let the pros do it!

well, i'd mod you "informative" if i could

thanks for breaking it down

i guess i still think the "god particle" stuff was hype, but like i said a few iterations back, i agree that scientists doing science is good in general

their data is good...so it's there for us to use forever...that's great...i think we can agree on that

ok...i don't debate when military action is justified with a pacifist, and i don't debate government regulation with a "libertarian"

you should have said that up front...and saved us all the trouble of reading your responses

you really have nothing to add to this discussion...except to remind us that you exist...

"hey look at me! I'm a libertarian! all government is wrong!"

thanks...

being "anti-regulation" is the same as being an anarchist...not a leftist...like a true, "anarchist" in that there should be absolutely zero government

police are just "property regulation"...and so on...

that's the only logical conclusion

that's why "libertarianism" is a farce, a non-theory that is really a tautology trolling honest discussion

unfortunately libertards are virtually immune to logic or rationality...

good comment though!

very polite of you...i'd be pissed (i'm getting better though)

busting out the dictionary in a philosphical discussion like this is not a solution

it's reductive and it shows a fear of complexity

"socialism" is such a charged word, anyone who is being honest in the discussion must admit this

the dictionary isn't going to solve the health care crisis

you think the ISP's should not be regulated at all?

are you inherently against all government agencies that regulate anything?

you're criticizing a policy move that every techie and educated policy thinker (besides ISP's) supports

you're position is not falsifiable

how could Obama do the right thing (Common Carriage) and *not* be criticized by you?

regardless of the crappy reporting, the research design was bad

as i said before, when I addressed the research design, the idea that we needed to "confirm" a model that is already full of holes, and that, as you even admit, the are other particles that can produce the same data....

it's bad research design...why test that?

test another, more relevant hypothesis with your CERN supercollider

I'll add health care...

I support fully socialized medicine....all health care orgs become non-profit...

Health Care scarcity is Artificial Scarcity in 2014....in the US we have more than enough resources to give for free the health care everyone needs...So you might say I "oppose" Obamacare in that *isn't socialist enough*

But conversely, he Republicans have only criticism of Obama's work on health care, but no actual solution for the health care crisis

the GOP didn't even think the health care crisis was any of their concern until liberals forced the issue

yeah...what does this even mean?

are you saying that opposing political parties will do things to oppose one another?

why is that relevant?

this is /.'s problem....always have to have the false dichotomy...

why even mention Republicans as if they are rational actors?

they deny climate change...and try to put creationism into textbooks...you can't expect their policies/rhetoric to be taken seriously

you're an idiot

this move, treating all ISP's as "Common Carriers" has been pushed for almost a decade in IT policy circles

everyone, including every single tech company, wants this law

all techies want this law

you're getting what you want, then you say "bah...it's just *political*..."

you're the problem here...you're obstinate immature notions of how this country should work are ruining America

people like you are a pox upon Democracy
