Sports Illustrated devotes every issue to readers who've had this procedure done.
Apple and Microsoft seem to be working hard to make BeOS look modern again.
So here's a guy who calls himself a "libertarian", declaring that it's not legal for a private entity to refuse to do business with him based on their political views.
We could put Libertarian dogmatism and naivety on the list, but they themselves have little influence, so it isn't like fixing them would fix the problem.
I guess you could call it pathological cynicism, and it expresses itself in many ideologies: government is evil, corporations are evil, America is evil, the West is evil, cisgender heterosexual white men are evil, etc.
I did say "sad and desperate".
The irony is that the kind of people who post comments on articles on web sites tend to be the least qualified to do so. By commenting on a news article, you are acknowledging that you have nothing more constructive to do with your time, and that you aren't satisfied with the attention that you get from the people around you. The level of hateful and ignorant bile in most news sites' comment sections is so great that anyone who would stoop to adding to them must be kinda sad and desperate.
And yes, I am completely aware that my comments here contain a full day's supply of irony.
Or maybe the comments are just so full of utter garbage posted by the most degenerate members of society that it turns off regular readers.
The person started off by asking me if it was an excel file, a PDF, etc
That's a reasonable question. Without knowing the level of security required, the encryption facilities that are standard for these file types could be sufficient. The applicant wanted requirements, which is a smart thing to ask.
And why the fuck should everyone know the details of PKI? You didn't say it was a security position. Hell, a little knowledge of encryption can be worse than no knowledge, because then they might try to roll their own.
Something tells me the submitter is inflating his/her own expertise.
"Brigid" (named after an Irish Saint no less!).
Or maybe the Irish goddess.
"Lack of national unity" isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Is there really any one person – even Theo de Raadt – who is personally familiar with the entirety of OpenBSD? And even if there are such people, isn't that more a reflection of the fact that it's fundamentally still Ye Olde BSD (which was tightly focused and built-to-purpose), and not a modern general-purpose OS?
It's a "solution" that only a libertarian would think is workable. Instead of enforceable government regulation, it's a voluntary opt-in system run by a private entity, which will work because all people are "rational actors" who will see that their self-interest is served by it. Or something.
