Comment Re:So the FBI hacked servers to find pedos? (Score 1) 292

They are. I totally love France. They are great. But, just because Bush was actually an asshole about it above and beyond a gentle ribbing. Doesn't mean the standard fair of croissant eating surrender monkeys stopped being a go-to joke. What next I can't make fun of the British's teeth because their health plans added it and they largely have fine teeth now? Or that they boil their food because sometimes they don't?

Would it be that conspiracy theorist to suggest the feds just asked them to turn it on.

It shouldn't even be able to be turned on. Like even if people tried. And it shouldn't let you access clear-net either. If you're going to write a bundle with clear security problems, if people do things wrong, you should not allow those things to be done.

Actually you'd need to turn scripts on in tor, and use it outside of tor too. Two things you are never suppose to do with tor. In fact, it's a security problem that the tor browser pack even allows either of those things to be turned on at all. It ended up serving malware to pretty much nobody, I'd figure. I don't know how stupid the average tor user is.

Comment Racism isn't entirely about hate. (Score 1) 737

Generally it's commonly about not thinking you are worth as much or as good as you are or not giving you opportunities.

Misogynists don't tend to hate women, they love women's bodies. They like to take them and lock them up and keep them forever. And there's the problem. The problem is their view of women basically could be replaced with a very sexy looking robot. Feminism is the rather paradoxical notion that women are people. And yeah, even without foaming at the mouth hate, you still have problems when it comes to gender equality and treating people like people.

Comment Please do. Do not however release with no license. (Score 2) 356

If you release it with no license at all, I don't know what the hell to do with the code. Can I have it for my program? Does your copyright trump everything. Absolutely no license is pretty much all rights reserved by default I'd suppose. No license is as bad as GPL. I don't really know what my obligations or permissions are, so I actually forego using the code. If I don't have legal right to use your code, I do not have legal right to use the code. If you don't expressly say I can, I may not be allowed to.

Using a more liberal license than GPL is great, I always do it. But, TFA says "no license" and that's a piece of crap, upload a BSD code fragment for goodness sakes, or oddly enough you completely own the code and I have no right to it at all.

Comment Password Algorithms (Score 1) 211

The problem there is that if they get a plain text password it might be determinable, also there's too much secondary issues.

A better password algorithm is something like preface the passwords with something like #1 (for the alpha numeric requirements) and then invent a word alphabet for the letters like various animals. So say you take the last three digits of the site name. Here DOT, you'd have a password #1DogOstrichTurkey -- It would be unhackable, hard to figure out how you made it, and you'd be able to dodge those alphanumeric and capital lowercase letter issues. Site unique and with enough bits to make take a few hundred years to brute force, and you'd never forget it.

* For those curious, no I don't use a password anything like that don't fucking bother.

Comment Re:Reddit beat him to it (Score 1) 143

Heck the other day Megaupload sent me an email saying that a file sextrivia.txt violated their TOS. It apparently had the word sex in it. Even though it was just a list of trivia questions rather than porn or something. I might have been like one of the only people using it for legit purposes, and still got burned.
