I don't know what you are smoking but given your comment history, I am sure you would be fine if the police came knocking at your door at night and randomly wanted to search your p…

The NSA said they prevented 54 attacks but it was widely reported supported by evidence that that was not the case. Not to mention that they repeatedly lied to Congress. If you tru…

A serious question: while I have nothing against Silk Road (the drug war is a waste of money anyways), aren't people afraid of putting stuff in their body that they had an anonymou…

Check it out, there is a new book in the series. POSA. The Performance of Open Source Applications.

It's stupid. That is what it is. The industrial surveillance complex that is being set up, do these companies really think people are that naive? And what makes me even more sad ab…
