Cduffy, please stop repeating yourself when it's already been addressed.

Read the discussion. Contribute where you can.

I've shown where I begged the question of whether police need encrypted communication.

If you can't follow the thread, just move on.

E

Giant Douche.

Please explain why encryption ensures their[sic] performing their job without interference?
Then when you're done, explain why Congress shouldn't encrypt and never publish their work, so as to prevent those pesky media people, those "liberal bloggers", and those "Occupy" people from protesting.

After all, a lack of transparency and accountability seems to be what you think is necessary for their[sic] performing their job.

I would respond further but it will be encrypted. That makes it easier for me to get my point across and you not to be able to respond. Trust me, it's for your own good.

E

Yeah, actually I did. I said "I'll beg _that_ question" (emphasis added) as to "The police _need_ to have encrypted communication." I didn't ask for why that is, did not address whether it's true or not, and proceeded further. That's begging the question.
> WTF?
Yourself.

E

It's important for the police to have secure encrypted communication?

Ok, I'll beg that question.

In that case then if I encrypt my hard drive the police shouldn't come asking me to decrypt it.

Oh. Wait, now there are double standards. You like that Law Enforcement can force me to give away the encryption key but they get to keep it.

Nuh uh, Opey. Keep dreaming.

The organizations pushing for these changes are not "Copyright holders" and there is no "Copyright industry."

These are clearly trade organizations attempting to censor the Internet to effect a better bottom line. They are not the holder of any rights, other than being the US Hollywood movie studio and music lobbying arms, and they bring nothing to the table.

Death to the MPAA, RIAA, and BSA. Long live freedom of speech, expression, and no more stupid nonsense words like "Copyright Industry."

Seriously.

You're on a committee about things you don't understand.

Your CHAIR is another guy who knows nothing about this.

You have come up with rules about how to implement this (e.g. "these people will have access" "these people will not have access") and you don't even know what "access" is.

Here's my advice.

You're fired. You're all the worst kind of incompetent... the kind that EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW that you know nothing you insist on doing it.

Dipshits like you are a dime a dozen. Don't worry. You'll be replaced, but odds being what they are you'll be replaced by someone smarter.

A statistical error, a Sample of Convenience is when data is used that is "easily acquired" instead of "equally acquired." Network Applications is able to detect which browser is used by those who went to the pages Network Applications chose to monitor.

Here's an edge case. Let's say that all users of X-OS are stupid people who love celebrities. Someone observing the X-Kardashian web site might note that lots more people use X-OS. This is a sample of convenience. It doesn't take into account the source of the traffic.

Another example: go to an upscale shopping mall. Watch phones. The convenience sample is NOT of "phones" but rather "phones used by people in public who shop at an upscale mall." Perhaps I, a discriminating polite person, will not pull my phone out in a mall for no reason. Perhaps I will pull out my Nokia N900 and not the Android phone. In either case, there are other factors, but it's "convenient" to do NOTHING to remove the bias.

I sure hope Java ME and IOS and Android continue to dominate. I also hope SURVEY TAKERS who do a piss-poor job of removing bias GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

Iran is like that third-world pimply kid next door who thinks he can date the head cheerleader.

They don't have ICBMs. They fake missile launches. They can't refine nuclear weapons. They can't even get a monkey into space. Their suckage is legendary.

Really they're a dirty third-world country that want to pretend to be "the great Persian Empire" except they forgot that Iran was NOT the heart or the meat of said empire.

Welcome to third-world ass pimplehood, Iran. Your supreme Ayatola is the head pimple.

The judge is a stupid son of a bitch.

He is not only an idiot, but doesn't understand prior restraint, freedom of speech, and thinks his shit shouldn't stink for 50 years.
