    FBI says search warrants not needed to use “stringrays” in public places

    Not a trolling post, I asked a legitimate question which you ignored in your illiteracy or whatever. Since I am not reposting the question a 3rd time, look 1 post higher and you can answer it in your spurious post. Also as to fucking us all, I work overseas.

    FBI says search warrants not needed to use “stringrays” in public places

    Actually I 100% agree, and sadly I got a downvote for asking what I believe is a legitimate question. What recourse does the average technophile have in this day and age if they get swept? Until this practice gets smashed by the Supreme Court, the average person is hosed. I do this shit for a...

    FBI says search warrants not needed to use “stringrays” in public places

    Already exists, I have gone into length about technologies involved to counter IMSI/IMEI catchers. What is a law abiding, educated technophile going to do if they discover they have been hoovered (the term used) by a stingray though? Nothing really, you don't know who is running it, you...

    US sanctions North Korea over Sony hack and classifies attack evidence

    The NSA knows this was not North Korea, just like how the CIA knew that it was Al-Qaeda that was heavily invested in the rebels in Libya... The President doesn't care about facts, he is happy to twist things to his own agenda and the analysts and 3 letter organizations are told to shut up and...

    Bloodhound SSC: How do you build a car capable of 1,000mph?

    Incredible the engineering that goes into something as "simple" as going 1k on land. The follow on videos of forging the wheels, and testing the brakes are incredible as well.

    If the Supreme Court tackles the NSA in 2015, it’ll be one of these five cases

    Within our network. It's not DNS driven either, looks like genuine web filtering.

    Amusing enough, the EFF website is blocked on our government network, just tried going there to look at the shirt...

    Comcast just upped its cable modem rental fee from $8 to $10 per month

    The modem was one of those high end Motorola SB's that have built in wifi. I have since changed my modem to a stand alone with a good wifi router plugged into it. But they claimed since they had control of the modem(because they really do control the guts of the modem, even though I now have...

    Comcast just upped its cable modem rental fee from $8 to $10 per month

    TWC not a whole lot better than Comcast. I have been buying my own hardware for years, and noticed a 5 dollar "wireless" rental surcharge on my bill pop up... I called TWC to ask what it was and they started charing me for using my own wifi. I told them to refund me as I was using privately...

    NSA has VPNs in Vulcan death grip—no, really, that’s what they call it

    You should look up the definition of treason some time. They are not attempting to overthrow the government... They ARE the government. To the very best of my knowledge, there is no recourse to having your constitutional rights impinged upon, until you are charged with something.

    NSA has VPNs in Vulcan death grip—no, really, that’s what they call it

    OpenVPN is owned, PIA with the "Maximum Protection" setting is still secure.

    Bankruptcy judge: Aereo can sell its TV stream tech—with some caveats

    I only understand how personal bankruptcy works, corporations confuse me since they get to be treated as "people" only when it serves them. Aereo is effectively dead, I don't understand why this is such a drawn out process for them. Can't they file, disband the company and walk away? They are...

    Bankruptcy judge: Aereo can sell its TV stream tech—with some caveats

    Which part of "just walk away?" confused you?

    Bankruptcy judge: Aereo can sell its TV stream tech—with some caveats

    Can't the Aereo folks just file chapter 7 or 11 or whichever one is applicable and just walk away?

    California DMV will miss its deadline for driverless car regulations

    I'd rather see the driver able to take over control only with the autonomous features failing. While humans may be able to process things better, there are so many terrible drivers on the road that them having control are not a good idea. On Christmas day for example, one of my very good lady...

    Steve Wozniak on track to become Australian citizen

    Very much so actually, people like to compare the US to countries that don't have the demographic mix that is present in the US.. Most of Europe is comparable to places like Maine... So yes.

    Steve Wozniak on track to become Australian citizen

    As with everything that is on the internet, it is take with a grain of sand. http://www.nationalreview.com/agenda/386280/principle-infrangibility-and-white-white-murder-rate-reihan-salam#! 2.37 per 100k upon reading, thanks Hinton. Although the numbers do line up pretty good with the FBI...

    Steve Wozniak on track to become Australian citizen

    Intentional homicide rate per 100k for white victims in the United States is 1.29. Most of the issues in the US are inner city violence. If you trim the inner cities out the US is on par with most of Europe.
