Irony: I do have an unbreakable encryption scheme. And no, I won't post it here on
{It's flaw is that it has to be used with significant sentences. Short messages won't work}
And now you are officially full of shit.
Lie about it, get caught, and go to prison for 3-5 years.
That's not the way things work in the real world. Move along and let the adults discuss the issue.
Ebola is easy to stop. We have oceans to protect us. All we need to do is stop allowing the 25,000 VISAS from affected countries from being used to gain entry.
1. Person from Ebola Land travels to Europe or some other non-US country, and exposes a person who is not from Ebola Land, who then travels home to the US.
2. US citizen travels to and from Ebola Land.
There are many different ways that Ebola can reach out and touch people who are not from Ebola Land, shutting down foreign visas is not the solution.
Can we get through Ebola, first, and then worry about...
The government should be able to multi-task more than one problem at a time, yes?
Riiight. Because US sex offenders lists contain people who made the mistake of drunkenly pissing against a wall in public...
Bullshit. Cite a reliable news source on that one.
Not to mention that US laws actually allows the prosecution of minors when their nude shot of themselves gets into the public internet.
We're talking about Google's response to the European "right to be forgotten", not US laws.
Can you stay on-topic? Or are you one of these one-topic fanatics that tie every subject into your obsession?
Granted, my son is 11.
Your anecdotal argument is irrelevant, your son is a young juvenile, which as you well know, are held to different standards that young adults and adults. For young adults and adults who do bad things, there are different consequences than a young juvenile would expect, and those consequences are generally proportional to the bad thing the young adult or adult has done.
But the real issue here is indexing publicly available data. These people that want to be forgotten need to talk to the people that are making this data public, not the people who are accessing in in a completely legal way and indexing it.
The people affected by this don't seem to be objecting to the past (and historical record existing), but only it's impact on the present.
This is the consequence of bad behavior: People get to know about it, there are repercussions in society for behaving badly. You don't get to behave badly and then demand that people forget about your bad behavior because it in inconvenient for you . That's not the way things work.
The Europeans should not be attacking Google for indexing what is available on the Internet, they should be talking to the people that put that information on the Internet in the first place.
Google's approach to this is reasonable. Criminals and public officials voluntarily give up a level of privacy due to their voluntary status as criminals and public officials.
Microsoft must be shelling out a bunch of dough to Dice for all these Microsoft ads.
Which makes me wonder if a lot of these comments will be modded down into oblivian by Timothy, like what happend in the Slash Beta Wars a few months back...
Is there anyone out there who you think would be even less well received by the slashdot audience than you? If so, who?
Hell, even Steve "DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!" Ballmer would be better recieved...
I don't have a Gmail account, but Google blocks all e-mail from my server to its accounts...
Than your email server is not configured correctly.
Oracle paid him (disclosed by Oracle under court order) while he was blogging in support of them. He admits to having been paid by Microsoft in the past.
He has probably since set up a series of "shells" to provide him with "plausible deniability" on this issue.
I really can't think of anything I would want to ask Florian Muller. Except maybe how much Microsoft and Oracle pay him to shill?
I had a meeting with the M$ person
And shortly thereafter were escorted off the campus? Did your "sage" advice come unsolicited? Perhaps your advice, which was not based on any direct knowledge of how their spam filters work, was not actually that useful to them?
I don't have a lot of problems with Outlook / Hotmail either, slightly more spam than Gmail, but not much. But do rock on with the anti "M$" blather, the "$" just adds so much more gravitas and validity to your arguments.
