Comment If they're cheap enough... (Score 1) 81

If the drones are cheap enough, then it probably doesn't matter. Send several and let them try and catch them all. If any product makes it, you win. And your own neck is never at risk since the drone isn't going to squeal on you.

Well, it probably is, though. It would be hard to cover all your tracks digitally. Hmm...

Still interesting though.

Comment Dear Mr Alexander (Score 2) 238

Dear Mr Alexander, fuck you. No, seriously, fuck you all to hell. At this point I would rather be attacked than be your slave. At least if I am attacked I will have an enemy that I can fight instead of some asshole trying to justify his own slimeball existence. Your fear mongering can go right back up your ass for all I care. I'm sure you can get the University of Maryland to do a study on that for you as well, so long as you pay them enough.

Sincerely, Bob

P.S. Fuck off.

These cloud guys always forget to mention one glaring problem with their model - they're not adding any new software to the picture.

Everything they have is available to you, Joe Serverhugger, as well.

So in short you're paying someone else to do something you could do yourself, rather like webhosting in the early nineties.

If you really want a cloud, go build one. It isn't even hard. Then you can stack your stuff on your own servers and enjoy your own profits, instead of outsourcing them for no reason.

Except this latest spat is specifically about Crimea.

Now, now, let's be clear. This 'spat' is about Syria.

1) US wants Syria taken down, appeals to world to do so.
2) Russia blocks at every turn.
3) US attempts end-run, attracting only France in the process, then backs out
4) US deploys PsyOp to destabilize Ukraine, and 'spontaneous' protests break out.
5) Now Russia has more pressing shit to deal with than Syria...

Honest government. Yes. Everyone wants that. Too bad that *both* the "west backed" and the "east backed" governments did the same thing - rob national coffers for their own gains. Both are completely incompetent.

This can't be said enough. Both sides are the same. Each wants to influence the government using processes other than democracy. Their methods wouldn't matter even if you could distinguish one from another, and you only just barely can.

Two sides of the same coin. Heads Ukraine loses, tails Ukraine loses.

Anyone who sees the anti-Russian side as some kind of benefactor is either stupid or drinking the Kool Aid.
