No, your just being extremely shitty at explaining your point.

I understand this completely. I did not vote for the man either times. I niether said nor implied I did. I see someone is connecting dots that don't exist.

A politician goes back on his word and now is being described as a flash of insight? sweet shit. Did you graduate kingergarten?

What the fuck are you even talking about, how does this have to do with Obama, who was first elected quite a bit sooner than a decade, and why am I supposed to run for president with no money, no donors, no political standing and no visibility in the public.

Somewhere, somehow your logic train de-railed, you need to fix this.

Except its really not. Don't believe the hype, intellegence agencies have all the power they need without trampling citizens rights.

What they are doing is looking for dissent, and moonlighting for private companies. 60% of all surivailence is economic according to Snowden. They're spying on your business for your competitors who are paying moonlighting NSA agents.

They are spying on your kids who fed up with the system. They're making up terrorist plots to bust, with intellegence being used to help frame people

They looking for complainers, and harrassing activists. They are not preventing you, or your loved ones from dying horribly. You are more likely to die at their hands, or have you or your loved one have their life destroyed at by them then you are having them protect said lives.

I don't feel any fucking safer, in fact I feel less safe.

She made an important scientific breakthrough.

In my opinion, thats very sexy. 10/10, five stars.

I'm just waiting to be "rescued" from political and social ideas that don't jive with facebooks political and advertising partners.

no. we are only empowering non-techies at the expense of programmers. While I might urge people to take action, and agitate, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, and of course, anti-sexist ideas in tech, the concept that we allow this sort of politics in tech is unacceptable. The reason is not to tollerate sexist ideas, but to prevent the framework for the type of political witch hunts, strong-arm bully tactics, that proffesional activist/vanguardists allow a few non-productive conpersons to exploit and industry for personal gain at the expense of the workers.

Even if a programmer is harmful, it does not make his work inherently harmful.

What else are they watching. The ability of the system to arbitrarily detain people without due proccess is mortifying.

I urge everyone to close all real name accounts and halt all activity on facebook not directly related to agitation of political ideas immediately. All cordination of facebook activities from this point on should be cordinated off site.

Now, if AMD linux drivers could really not suck, that would be awesome.

Because their drivers are crappy. Their FOSS driver is crappy and their propiertary driver is crappy. They are really putting the cart before the horse here. What they really need to do, is just a massive bug hunt with their drivers. Right now they are lacking.

Oh, and its hurting sales, because people won't buy AMD cards because they are known to be buggy. Even after they fix them, its going to take a lot of them to be seen as reliable.

unpopular as it is, they can always raise taxes. Simply just take our fucking money without having Officer Hardon come fuck with us, or generate criminal records and the otherwise unwarranted search of persons and property.

which doesn't change the definition of "net neutrality", the concept of the internet as a public network, that private companies only charge access to, but don't decide content. I am also OK with takedown orders/siezures of equipment as long as there is a court ordered warrant, where probable cause has been established, and the warrant exists only for the minimum amount of equipment reasonibly suspected to be involved in the crime. This is the same burden of proof for law enforcement under all other circumstances, and my only demands is that the same standards apply everywhere, and the cops aren't simply given unlimited power because society is simply affraid of the internet.

Point 1:

Context. Judaeism is both a race and religeon. There is a stark diffrence between jewish ethnicity, and jewish religeon.

Israel is not founded on the jewish religeon, but on the jewish race. 90% of the population is secular, and its founders where athiests and national socialists.

American and European Jews mainly identify by the Jewish religeon, but the Jewish religeon has a racial element to it.Your jewish Identity determined by birth, i.e. your mother's status, rather than your beliefs. Becoming a Christian is often as simple as getting baptized, and reciting "God loved the world so he gave them his only son". Becoming a Muslim is as simple as reciting "There is no god but allah, and his messenger muhammed, peace be upon him" in arabic.

Convert to judaeism? Forget about it. The proccess is extremely difficult, and many rabbis simply won't do it unless you are either marrying in, or they have some other motive or really like you. Even still, your conversion most likely won't be recognized by all of judaeism. Under biblical law you'd still be a "gate jew", and not a real jew, something attainable only through birth. Forunately if you lived in America this wouldn't be an issue, because American Jews are extremely westernized, and they don't follow this.

Oh, but thats religous standards on race, of which Americanized jews(hassids not withstanding) are notoriously lax with. Most consider themselves white, and are very accepting of their neighbors. However, Israeli standards on judaeism are soley race based with the exact same standards as nazi germany had on the subject: Two or more Jewish granparents:

Point 2:

you obviously have not studied the holocaust too well. They were slaughtered for their race. A jew was not someone who believed in judaeism, but someone with two or more jewish grandparents. Secular jews, and even people with some jewish blood and no relation to the Jewish community where also sent to the camps, or at least singled out from society. Along with communists, gays, gypsies, even slavs(eastern europeans).

you can stand up for yourself anywhere for being a human being. Also exploited where roma(gypsies) and homosexuals, they never got a state for being themselves.

basicly occupied land based on imperial holdings, with original residents still living there. Israel was founded by colonists from Europe.

Ancesteral homeland of what? A race. my people insiuates race. "Blood relation" that is not extended family. That is race. This is also ridicolous. Its land your ancestors lost in some long ancient war. Its also land they gained a thousand years prior in some long ancient war as well. You have no relation to any actual flesh and blood people from that long fallen ancient empire. Just distant memories.

Your also using Hitler logic. The German people have also been pushed around for most of history. By France, Spain, England, Russia. They only became a country in 1876, with No empire, and no colonies and the traditional European powers saw them as a threat to their imperialism. But hey, it just so happens their enemies have thier "ancient homeland", where northern european people originally came from, in a lot shorter time span than the ancient Judaen empire.

Also by your logic, is that of Osama Bin Laden reviving the Islamic Caliphate from Anniulus to India, again, their ancient homeland, of which is a much shorter timespan between that and the ancient judaen empire.

Mousillini and his Rome, Saddam Hueissan and Babylonia. The list goes on, but you share a common delusion with dictatories, Fascists, and crazies. You are attemping to re-start an ancient empire soley based on you distance racial relations to its residents. Its not your fucking homeland.(If Israel sticks around another 100 years, then mabey, its actual residents could call it their homeland. History has shown conquest and genocide to be legitimate.

point 3:

Assuming the NSA finds out. If your the best the NSA has, and you know all their systems because your the guy who's basicly the NSA, who exists to find you?

Snowden was the guy. He didn't get caught until he outed himself to give the leaks credibility. Of course if he was doing espionage he just would have kept is mouth shut and accepted money.

What is more likely, is that NSA contractors have jobs moonlighting for large corporations as intellegence officers an simply use NSA resources at work for their corporate patrons. If they outright gave them the code, it would make themselves fairly worthless as consultants. This matches up to teh %60 of espionage being economic. I.E. Corporations pay NSA employees for use of NSA resources. It also calls into question the technology "invented here" meme, which just might have been, "invented somewhere else, but stolen by the NSA and given to private partners".

Combine this with the fact the best "security" i.e. hackers working for the government, are for-profit blackhats that get caught and flip as part of a plea deal.

Except its made by the government in charge of the world's largest prison system, and by far the largest per-capita incarceration rate. Irony being duly noted. Despite what you think, the US Government does not tollerate dissent.

Nor is the US Government populist, and rarely do they sponser populist regimes overseas unless they are wealthy enough to buy senators. They are notorious for astro-turfing revolutions for gain though.

I do agree, there are many benefits to TOR. However much of the code should be double checked, and because of the US Government's closeness to the TOR development team, all of which most likely have their personal information documented, heavily, it really wouldn't be hard to manipulate them.

It also would not be hard to put pressure on tor exit node operators to co-operate with the federal government. Many of them are already run by MITM attacks, many of them are suspected to be NSA already. Not only could the feds get foreign citizens to use TOR to beat their own surivallence, it could set up its own survialence on the same citizens via owning the exit nodes. It could then create profiles and find who it can be best manipulated/used to create an astro-turfed revolution.

Of course there are work arounds for this, but before the first wave of "pedophile" busts, Freedom hosting also included a hidden site called inspecTOR, which simply looked for, and reported on bad nodes. visitors could generate code to copypasta into their torrc to keep from using them. Among the ban list was a node named NSAFortMeade. Most likely a simple troll, but its odd behavior had intrigued many. This site with the rest of "Freedom Hosting" went down and never came back, and was never re-implemented. Also, things like canada's "pedo bust" last week, was really a indiscriminate TOR server raid. The government had no idea how much, if any of the data they collected actually had kiddie porn if you actually read the article. They did know that they were running TOR. Thats all it really took for Canadian authorities to simply sieze the servers, and then label the event as a "pedophile bust".

Also, serveral weaknesses in TOR make it vulernble to attack by government. Attack might not always mean "shutdown", but "forced compliance":
1. Tor Traffic, by design is meant to look like TOR traffic, its only supposed to be indistiguishable from other TOR traffic. Its easy to spot nodes and bridges. Support for anonymizing the "first hop" with a dedicated bridge exists. You also need to have information on the bridge. So it only protects people in target countries that exist outside the bulk of TOR infrastructure. You also need specific information given to you from someone in a reigon accross the globe. Random citizens do not generally share this information with other random citizens, that speak diffrent languages in two countries with hostile to eachother governments. Publicly publishing such data would result in authorities finding and blocking the public nodes. Its only real practicle application is with spies, and those with help on the outside, i.e. recruited assets of an intellegency agency.

2. Because all casual, non-spy TOR users are already flagged as users, if push came to shove they can all be arrested if need be. Given the fact that pedophiles exist on TOR it would not be unbelievable to anyone that everyone arrested was a pedophile. They would not have to arrest everyone, just enough to scare the rest off, weakening the network further by lack of mainstream usage. Further driving it to the fringes makes it even easier to target, because it will be increasingly run by the people most people don't give a fuck about, and of course, government agents running the fastest nodes, which of course don't get busted. Remember, this is the USA with the highest incarceation rate in the world, and more than enough prison cells, and a population that for the most part accepts the government's word, and a press that would more or less report exactly what the government releases in a press confrence.

3. Exit nodes are even more vulernble, because less shady work needs to be done on behalf of the government. There are also far fewer of them, giving less protection in numbers. Because of the way TOR works, the government could specify an exit node, and pump kiddie porn through it, with no trace on the governments end, and then arrest the entity running for the kiddie porn(or terrorism). More likely they'll use this as leverage(read coverage of barret brown/jermey hammond trials) to get the operators to co-operate with the government and run a government backdoor on the exit nodes. The mere threat of a trial will get most people to fold because of the shear expense, and the fact that it will be a slam dunk case with the non-technical jurors, because there is dirrect proof that kiddie porn would have gone through the router. The instant you say "kiddie porn", in most jurisdictions the law mandates removes all legal framework for mitigating circumstances, and it pushes an emotional button which will get a "guilty just because" in most people.

4. Directory servers are a central point of attack, and could be used to gather information. It might be able to redirrect traffic at the request of the government(unknown). An attack on a directory server might lead to the government having the ability to redirect targets through their own exit nodes.

5. .onions hidden sites are fairly weak, with a keypair of only 1024 bits, agreed by most experts not to be strong enough to protect against state sponsered actors with a large volume of compute power. (i.e. hijack attack by brute forcing private key for the .onion domain). No plans for 4096 bit onions. This is in no way set up for "freedom". It is set up by the US government to help spies communicate. The fact that criminals, especially drug smugglers are co-operating with the US government, is nothing new.

Net Neutrality has nothing to do with government/law enforcement ordered takedowns. Its simply non-discrimination of data. ISPs are allowed to regulate the size of the pipe,(i.e. rate limit the whole connection), how much data goes through total, and nothing else. It has nothing to do with blocking sites based on court order.

Yes, we all know it hardly existed before hand. If you really cared about such, you'd have better luck invetisgating the athletics department. If you questioned the actual rapists and actual people promoting and normalizing rape if they post online, if they learned to rape people online, the answer would most likely be no. You also give no real evidence to support your claim. Rape culture is propigated by people who are very much not anonymous, not online, but simply above the rules. People who are too big to jail, popular and "member of the community", which we are unwilling to prosecute. These are the people who commit most of the actual rapes. Example is Bill Cosby, most of the same "leftist" hollywood types where quick to question the accusations against Mr Cosby, and many people quick to dismiss them because he played the loving Mr Huxable on TV 20 years ago. People like him commit most of the rapes. The biggest reason why we can't deal with rape culture is because some of its biggest supporters are women calling themselves feminists.

Speaking of online anonyimitty, I am logged in and you are not. The irony is both hillarious and glaring.
