You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, asshat. PGP has NEVER been used in Linux. GNUPG has.. But that is, effectively, a PGP CLONE.

Rewriting it in something that is memory-safer is hardly a bad call. Further, you retarded, inbred, fuck:

Key Exposure and Leakage: Encryption relies on secret keys stored in memory. A memory-unsafe bug—such as a buffer overflow or out-of-bounds read—can allow an attacker to read arbitrary memory blocks, exposing private keys, initialization vectors, or plaintexts directly to unauthorized users.

Control Flow Hijacking: Bugs like use-after-free or stack/heap overflows allow attackers to overwrite function pointers or execution logic. Even if an encryption algorithm (like AES-256) is mathematically unbreakable, an attacker can hijack the program to dump data before it is encrypted or after it is decrypted.

Bypassing Authentication: Many cryptographic protocols (such as TLS or SSH) bundle encryption with integrity checks and handshakes. Memory corruption flaws can let an attacker skip verification steps, forge authentication tokens, or accept invalid certificates.

The Heartbleed Precedent: A classic real-world example is the Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL (a buffer over-read vulnerability). It did not break the underlying math of SSL/TLS, but it let attackers read server memory directly, exposing private keys and session cookies.

That was a cop error, not a Flock error. A cop entered the wrong license plate number into the database as the suspect vehicle. The Flock database faithfully reported that license plate number, and the other cops reacted to finding the reported suspect vehicle. This happened in the days before flock as well -cops put out an APB on the wrong vehicle/suspect.

License plate readers are not the problem, the database of all known occurrences over time is. I don't think we will outlaw surveillance databases in the USA anytime soon -they are too useful. But no amount of band-aids will solve the problem.

Except that the information Flock logged in their database was correct. It was the cops who decided that she was guilty just because she drove thru the town that day.

This was not a Flock error. It was bad cops.

The problem with Flock is that it should not be legal for it to exist. It is legal, and we need to change that. We need bar the collection of this kind of data, unless required to provide a service, and mandate the deletion of any data that is collected as soon as it is no longer necessary. If data is collected, it will be abused. There is no safeguard that can prevent that other than not collecting it in the first place.

Bad cops. That is a bigger problem. We need better cops. We need to purge bad cops from the force and hold those who remain to a higher standard. "with great power... great responsibility" The tradeoff is that we will not have many cops if we do.

Good for you? Ill bet the list of things you didn't do in the Guard is much longer than the stuff you did do.

Because modern journalism often misrepresents scientists statements in order to make more exciting headlines.

This time it was the scientists who were wrong. (Although it should be noted that these were Electrical Engineers not Population Scientists, and expertise in one field does not impart expertise in other fields -aka "not that kind of doctor".)

The rate of change is more important than the degree of change (up to a point).

Everything you said is a lie, fed to you by right-wing media to stoke your fears and paranoia so you will vote Republican no matter how much their policies hurt you.

Humans are not fungible. We may all be cogs in the machine to our corporate overlords, but you cannot simply swap a person into a different job. We have different skills and abilities.

Except that according to the summary above, that did not happen:

I did watch Shady Vance's speech, in which he accused Microsoft of laying off 9,000 American workers and replacing them with 6,000 H1Bs.... but like they say "How do you know when a politician is lying? His lips are moving." (especially true just before an election)

I do agree with cutting off the flow of H1Bs to the outsourcing companies (WIPRO, TATA, etc.). They have long manipulated the system.

As far as the University students, they announced a $70,000 per student annual fee for a work permit, up from the previous fee of $500. These are foreign students getting advanced degrees at US colleges. We want the best and brightest to come to America. If we educated them in our top universities, we should be trying to keep them in the USA, rather than sending them back to their homeland with their newly acquired knowledge & skills. These are the foreigners we want to stay and become Americans!

I have always felt that if we are going to do nuclear power it should be done as a government operation. Not as a for profit enterprise, but as a public good. We successfully operate nuclear reactors for military purposes. Treat it the same for civilian needs. Military security. Strict operation and maintenance protocols. Force Majeure decisions on where and how it is operated and waste handling/disposal decisions.

Bad people are gonna do bad things. That doesn't mean we should not try to live our lives anyway. It is not worth giving up our freedoms because we are afraid for our safety.

That said... I would prefer that they built new modern design reactors than restarting older reactors -because safety :)

My biggest concern with these deals is that we-the-people do not foot the bill. No tax breaks. No rate increases for citizens. Let the private industries pay for it out of their massive revenues. Google wants the energy, Google has the funds to pay for it. Let 'em. And make them pay for the regulation and security and inspections and disposal of the waste and every cost associated with running the plant. Make them set up an insurance bond to cover future costs in case something goes wrong or the operating company goes bankrupt. It is expensive and it should be. It is a big ask, but not unreasonable -just part of the cost of doing business.
