Definitely not trying to give China a free pass here, but in the large cities, they have implemented laws which enforce automobile pulsing. License plates ending in 2 can't be on the road Monday or Thursday, ending in 6 means you are not allowed to drive Wednesday Friday, and so on. They certainly do not deserve an A, but maybe a little credit for hitting step one and admitting there is a problem.

"allow the NSA to collect online communications of foreigners outside the US. Prism collects these communications from internet services, and Upstream taps into the internet'"

And who is shocked by this? Who thinks this is a bad idea? Many do, I'm less on the fence than many others.

They are executing the mission they have been charged with by the government since its formation, and how many times can we point to and say this was enabled by illegal [something]? Malice, or intent to defraud, extort or harm someone has usually been a condition of charging someone with a crime. Let's fight for our rights! But make sure we know what we are fighting for, spinning wheel wastes energy on both sides.

Honestly, we want scapegoats, but in this case, we have some semi-reasonable ones. Every CISSP C***P CSISPD* blah blah certified anything security down to Security+ should be stripped of the cert. As the case unravels over the next 5 years, only keep those who were in positions to say something or do something who neglected to do so, with this blight on his or her resume, and every else can try to piece his or her life back together. Honestly, they will be in the same boat as a good portion of the people who now must obsessively monitor the world of credit information that could be used to screw them over.

Is this fair to all of them? No.

FINALLY! All of the shit that Equifax has never been able to correct on your file such as the spelling of your first name as an 'alias' or the incorrect zip code of your first apart will finally come in handy! When someone applies for a new student loan under "Hataple from Cleevland California 65108" and is approved, they get full force. This could come in handly especially since they have consistently been the most difficult to correct information. Transunion was the most difficult to get a credit report from, but it was 'relatively' easy to fix glaring errors.

IANAL but I wonder if that will actually be useful.

Comment Intentionally Harmful Downloads (Score 1) 55

What if I'm trying to download harmful stuff on purpose? If they put the 'fix' behind some backasswards tab in the developer tool panel just they made us all play Find The Certificate, it's full time Opera for me. Which I actually would not mind. The 'chromaddons' addon allows pretty much the entire chrome store extensions to work in Opera (even some weird ones).
