Wouldn't it be more effective to open more trade with Russia and introduce them to more of our culture? That'll put them flat on their ass. Give them all the Coke, Meth, Gay Rights, Westboro Baptist, Al Sharpton, Ku Klux Klidiots, Hollywood, Ferguson and throw in a GIANT Double Helping of Illegal Mexican Immigrants who want rights, Indian Casinos, Kochs, Polygamous Mormons, "potpourri", industrial pork, McDonalds, WalMart, PBS and Diane Feinstein. Just see if that doesn't set them back a ways...

Comment Re:Do the math (Score 1) 338

Approaching the problem from the perspective that EU vacuums use more than the whole of Denmark; a 1000 watt bulb can produce 16 sq feet of marijuana, a cash crop, therefore banning carpet in favor of wood floors throughout the E.U. should solve the problem. Especially since the advent of L.E.D. growlights. Now we can either trade that 1000 watts for 100 or exceed our area to 160 sq.ft. of marijuana and trade the problem for water usage. However with todays technology, we should be able to reuse the unevaporated water from our grow system and measure the nutrients in order to re-add the necessary food to the plants.

Yes, I want to live in a world where I can leave my keys in the car. Amputee ex-car thieves are a good idea.

I'm willing to let competitiveness between companies decide the quality of any product. Amputee criminal hackers are a good idea.

Bugs ARE found and exploited privately with/without disclosure. These zero day groups could easily be providing support for each other in an amputee support group.

Security exists to protect the interests of the customer, who, is always right. No sacrifice except the offending limbs of the guilty is necessary for this scenario.
The only way to maximize security and therefore convenience is to remove the problem from our midst. Let starvation do the rest.

I am one of the 51%. I don't see things changing, the computer is a convenience device for most of the world. It needs to be convenient. As per usual, attention must be called to the fact that stolen and misused passwords constitute a crime and examples should be made. I would recommend cutting off the arms of computer criminals at the elbow, so they still have something to scratch their ass with. Enforcement is the answer, failing that, vigilance. Too much money has been spent for personal computers/devices to have every Tom , Dick or Harry trying to make a name for themselves finding and publishing weaknesses. Yes, I am glad bugs are worked out, but, publishing them causes more crime than it prevents and puts black hats on to the right trail. Simply remove the human designation, mistakenly given to the scrubby bastards and open a trophy hunting season.

Comment Re:What kind of fish? (Score 5, Funny) 180

We have an overabundance of carp here. Normally eating carp seems to be an ethnic thing around here.Even then, only an older generation bothers with it. I would like the world to come and rid the Mid U.S. of carp, so I have included the only recipe I know for carp.
        1 pressure cooker
          1 5-lb. rock
          1 carp
          Pressure cook the meat till it slips from the bone (about 2 hours) let cool, discard the fish and eat the rock.
