I figure they were flipping a coin to decide who has to stay outside and man the camera.

This is what happens when you have created a pay-to-play society like here in the US.

Education these days is nothing more than another form of corporate profit and requiring college degrees for even menial jobs is nothing more than a method to force people into a form of indentured servitude.

How's that you say? Well debt == enslavement and where is most people's largest amount of debt outside of their home? Debt which can not be discharged by declaring bankruptcy? Student loans.

Now be a good slave and get in line to get your expensive degree so you can work at McCrapphole corporation.

Here! Here!

There was a time when HR was simply an organization that made sure everyone had benefits, but as the years have progressed HR has become an increasingly detrimental behemoth in many corporations; directly getting in the way of finding and hiring good people by utilizing lame algorithms that are supposed to filter up the best candidates.

What is so freaking funny about the whole thing is right now you could be a genius in your field like my wife and not get a single interview due to these crappola job sites that most HR uses these days.

The only reason why my wife is not getting any interviews is because she decided to take some time off after working at a very stressful job in child welfare for 5 years; coincidentally at the time the economy started to tank and at the time HR decided to blanket reject all resumes where the person shows they've been out of work.

So very ridiculous but this is what happens when people who don't understand technology implement it like they are some kind of technological experts and I for one can say without a doubt nobody in any HR group I've ever encountered is a technological genius, much less even technologically savvy.

Get up and take a short walk outside - rest your eyes, get the blood flowing and some vitamin D absorption if it's a sunny day. Your body will thank you in the long term.

People that respond in such a mannger are almost always hiding a dark secret from themselves, it's over compensation for a truth about himself that he can't face. What that is? Who knows.

Word.

But whether or not Democracy falls is a small issue in comparison to the real worry, a potential future dystopia humanity faces as the machines rise and data compilation rise and a truely free press falls. Person's like Warrnen Buffet should be leaving their fortunes to the establishment of a global, non profit press outlet beholden to humanity, not governments and corporations. Voting machines? Hell we got bigger worries.

Forget what I said. the f'ing /. site was f'ing up as usual and the link when I clicked it went to a completely different page which had nothing to do with the current link, it was about some woman, not a suspected child pornographer.

Obviously NOT because not even the poster RTFA - or at least did not comprehend what is says because the title of this post is 100% inaccurate. The court sided with the government, she will have to decrypt - the court refuses to hear any arguments until either a conviction or aquittal is made in the case.

Yeah - when will there be a time when everyone truley grasps the concept of privacy? If it is required that something remain a secret, it must never be written down or digitized. Period.

So what? My personal box is nowhere near tapped out, I've been doing this since I got my first broadband connection and originally on a single core. And who gives a rats a** about the remote server resource useage?

Walter, a warden, may be needed to guard Alice and Bob in some respect, depending on the protocol being discussed.

Why is it that prominent security researchers have names like Moxie, Trevor and Tavis and not Bob, Alice or Walter?

Now not only do I have to worry about being seated next to a crying baby, but also if I'll get seated next to a jerk-off. Sounds like a great idea. (rolls eyes)

There's a local Indian eatery my wife and I enjoy from time to time. The service was always excellent until the time when our visit happened to coincide with a Groupon special. We walked in and noticed right away that the place as far busier than usual. Unfortunately that had a detrimental effect on the service, which stank and we were pissed off once we learned it was a Groupon night, as we paid full price for crap service and we are regulars.

Too bad for the restaurants in large cities which get sucked into trying Groupon. You place gets filled for one night with cheapskates, who then move on to the next Groupon deal restaurant the following night, and so on... You f'd over regular customers for a bunch of 20-somthing cheapskates - we have not returned and may not.

The whole point of coupons and specials is to get people to try your restaurant and then come back if the person likes it. However with Groupon I doubt very much this works as the only people using Groupon are the types that are eating at the next local Groupon special as all they care about is the deal.
