Comment Re:The bigotry of the political correctness crowd. (Score 1, Flamebait) 107

Collectively, we can't move forward if we grant a monopoly on "legitimate" discrimination to one particular group of people (the political correctness crowed, for example).

You gave yourself away too easily. This just some rambling bigotry from some right-wing nutter. Being against institutionalized bigotry has nothing to do with this nonsense. No one believes this outside possibly a few fringe nutters and caricatures created by the very bigots themselves. Nothing is more funny than listening to them trying to paint themselves as the victims of "PC".

Comment Ditch Windows? LOL!!! (Score -1, Troll) 304

especially if game developers start to ditch Windows

Hahahahahaha! Good joke! Ditch 99% of their customers in PC game market? Yeah, right. Even Valve doesn't even believe this nonsense otherwise it would have already gone Linux-only. Gabe is saber rattling because knows freetards can't sustain his business.

Yeah, it's a typo. The privacy report says in the last full paragraph on page 13:

As it can't be ruled out that the published Windows executable of TrueCrypt 7.0a is compiled from a different source code than the code published in “TrueCrypt 7.0a Source.zip” we however can't preclude that the binary Windows package uses the header bytes after the key for a back door.

Seems the author retyped the statement themselves rather than just copying and pasting then the summary carried it over.

PengPod Crowdfunding a Tablet Made With OS-Switching In Mind 93

PengPod is running a crowdfunder to create a GNU Linux/Android tablet, the PengPod 1040. This is their second such product; the first was mentioned on Slashdot last year. PengPod has pledged to make all source and tools used to build the images available, so users can build their own OS top to bottom to guarantee that it's free of NSA tracking. The PengPod has previously found some success as a low-cost touch platform for industrial/commercial control systems and is partnered with ViewTouch, the original inventors of the graphical POS to offer PengPod1040s as restaurant register systems. The feature that the developers seem keenest to emphasize is that the PengPod is built to run conventional desktop Linux distros without special hacking required; Android is the default OS, but it's been tested with several others (including Ubuntu Touch) listed on their Indiegogo page.

Comment Re:Liars, liars, pants on fire (Score 1) 301

Except I'm not ignoring anything. My statements are based on actual statements from officials in the administration, declassified documents and info from FOIA requests. Do you have proof that Paul O'Neill was lying? Or can you at all provide evidence to dispute my second length based on declassified documents and FOIA requests? All you seem to have is ad homs.
