Yeah, it must be immensely hard to have a domain foobar.org and just create a cdn.foobar.org subdomain. Instead, every hipster startup goes to register fbrcdn.org instead. It's as if noone understands DNS anymore - every purpose gets a new domain instead of having a good structure.

I don't think an unencrypted virtual network satisfies the P in VPN.

I don't see how this could be verified. Sometimes, even compiling the same code with the same compiler twice doesn't yield bit-identical binaries, let alone using a different compiler.

Isn't Schneier being way too naive here?

Amen.

Humans pursuing their petty little human needs when noone is looking? YOU DON'T SAY!

Separation of power was not thought up by idiots, you know.

Another one confusing NAT and packet filters.

Plus it is easier to defend a single point of entry than it is to defend a 255.255.0.0 address space from the world.

What the hell does address space size have to do with how easy it is to "defend from the world"? Do you patch a cable for each individual IP address to your border?

NAT+filter or just filter, which one is simpler? All security comes from the filter, not from NAT. OTOH, all problems come from NAT, not the filter. The question is not whether you have a good reason to put your toaster on the net, the question is whether you should cripple yourself _if_ you want to put it on the net.

So in other words, they discovered gcc -static and just ship giant binary blobs? Yawn.

Hipster shit.

In other news: botnet sizes at all-time high.

As if you can't have both. That's what branches are for! Duh.

But of course you'd have to understand branches and their use first. Why call it stable if it's just another testbed where everything is shipped regardless? If "stable" is moving so fast that bugs that are already recognized cannot be pulled back in time, something is just wrong.

"In accordance with the law" is a hollow phrase when the laws itself are unjust or secret to begin with.

Everyone following your "laws" and not openly disobeying them is in good company with people "just following orders" in 1933's Germany.

If you think the Internet could ever be trusted you started using it way too late.

The Internet once was this cozy anarchistic place where it was all just packets and if you didn't secure your shit, you were owned, right as it should be. Now it's all marketing scum drowning you in ads, trying to get into your pockets and living rooms, global adversaries becoming a real threat and ass-backwards pussies trying to censor your shit.

Fuck that.

I don't know but I have a feeling a safely stored gun was not the intent of the amendment.

I think the point I was trying to make is that even if you tried to claim back your country from the corruption that's currently running it, what would your revolver or rifle do against a drone miles high in the sky controlled by a coward behind his joystick? Or a plain old tank for that matter?

I like how you tried to put forth the idea that there is still such a thing as democracy and votes actually matter. May I point to the title of the news again... What was the saying? "There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury and ammo. Please use in that order."

So you're an illiterate idiot or why the need to speak up?

TL;DR, the gang sign of illiterate idiots.

It's sad that you're arguing what the non-torture promise is actually for. If the USA was actually a free and civilized country, it would be so outlandish a thought that they could torture anyone, that an extradition would actually be doubtless.

The whole situation says a lot about "The Land of the Free" when a communist country known for not-so-democratic behaviour has to protect a citizen from a so-called western democratic country.

Why Americans aren't using their 2nd amendment rights already to get rid of all these corrupt fucks is beyond me.
