You're reading this poorly.

Encryption is only useful if he wants to be able to cover his tracks, and selectively release video.

...or have an officer believe "This is not evidence that can be used against me." Count yourself lucky that you don't have enough experience with corrupt police officers to understand how they operate.

"I was recorded committing a crime, but I can use as much force as I want without any consequences in order to change how much evidence becomes available to prosecutors, who are mostly my buddies. Plus, my partner has been inculcated to back me up on anything and everything with a straight face. If I fire my gun, though, there's going to be a hell of a lot of paperwork."

I'd rather use my handle than my real name, because then people will not confuse me with any of the other guys. My handle is practically unique

I face the exact opposite problem. It's kinda tough locating things I've written on the net.

In this particular case, negative comments are not lies.

If you do find out who he is, change your SSID to *his* name and address. That should freak him a bit.

I love you. I would give up my first cup of coffee for you. I already did, and you owe me a new keyboard.

You wrote,

The end result of all this is, at some point, you're going to hit a bump where tons of ex-students default on their student loans because they don't have decent jobs and can't repay the loans, and it's 2008 all over again, with banks crying to the government and getting bail-out checks, with the students still not able to get a job or allieviate this debt, so they can never get a decent job (what's the point? Their wages will be garnished so they won't make any more than flipping burgers, so they won't even try).

If the banks get a bailout from the government for student loans and then still come after the students for money, a whole bunch of lawyers will get rich off the resulting class actions. Rich, I tell you. I would throw my morals out the window, emigrate there, and take the bar exam.

The issues have not been addressed.

Only old people use ifconfig, it's been deprecated by ip.

I sure will miss Starbucks.

The Napoleonic codes apply for provincial civil matters, but for criminal matters, the courts are federal - English Common Law all the way.

Methinks you are mistaking "acceptable" for "commonplace".

If you're expecting a return, you're not taking a risk.

30 years have accomplished exactly what was set out to be accomplished. It's now considered acceptable for a CEO to make over 1000 times what the guy actually creating value makes. Well, acceptable by anyone with an MBA, and you don't have one, so what do you know you moron get back to work, and don't worry your head about what percentage you take home of what you produce.
Trust me, they knew what they were doing with `trickle down'. It's based on the premise that, given an arbitrary level of national economic output, people who have more money should get more money. The question of who doesn't get it is left as an exercise.

...and would have a one year warranty.
People really shouldn't post while drunk.

Do I count just the RCMP, or do I include CSIS, FBI, the NSA, and DoubleClick? I dislike badly worded polls almost as much as bad number ranges.

I have some formal training in HCI and a love of accurate terminology, so I have the ability to articulate problems with a user interface - I can voice my opinion and experience with weak design. A regular user doesn't have those skills, so they appear silent. The end result is that you call us IT types whiny.
"Less sophisticated users" aren't getting along fine. They struggle to use it and/or call for help because bad user interfaces (and arbitrary vendor changes) interfere with the creation of an accurate mental model of how the software is supposed to be used or what it's capable of. The confusion created in their mind is real.
