Yep, nothing like those new fangled high priced exploding wireless earbuds, eh? What a cool idea!

And what did king George III think of a bunch of kids over in the "colonies" when they declared their independence, eh? I'm not saying that all jerks are worth listening to, I'm saying that some jerks are. They bucked the system, struck out for their own ideals and the result is... Umm.

Never mind. Moot point. Forget I even commented.

So posting a video with girls in wet t-shirts will be okay for most advertising, but posting a video that shows you how to make a nuclear weapon in your basement will be down-voted, ignored and (GASP!) demonetized. Kid videos with vapid Care Bear-like content will be okay for Super Frosted Sugar Bombs cereal but posting a kid video on how to take care of your bicycle will be put in the ignore pile and demonetized because it allows for free thought, independence and prevents the kiddy bicycle companies from profiting on kids demanding that their parents replace their six month old conveyance with a new one. Sounds about right -- I'll take the blue pill, no sense in showing that I'm capable of thought if the corporations can't get a profit from it.

Once upon a time, a family argued over what program they should watch on their TV. The father looked at the argumentative bunch and decided to weigh in with a bit of wisdom. "Let's resolve this democratically" he said. "Junior and Sissy should get one vote each for the show that they wish to watch, Mother should get two votes as her position allows for more power. As for me, I should get five votes as I'm the Pater Familias." At that point, the rich elitist bastard who lived in a mansion on a hill that had been in his rich elitist family for generations, used his master key and walked into the living room and declared: "You'll watch what I want you to watch. You don't get any votes. Fuck you!"

The family stopped their argument and sat down. "What do you want to watch, Uncle Fred?" They asked.

"DES is now considered to be insecure for many applications. This is mainly due to the 56-bit key size being too small; in January, 1999, distributed.net and the Electronic Frontier Foundation collaborated to publicly break a DES key in 22 hours and 15 minutes (see chronology)."
