• On the post: Want To Destroy Any Hope Of Serious Cybersecurity? Give The DOJ Its Desired Backdoor Wiretaps On All Communications

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 18 May, 2013 @ 05:24am

  They can keep it up and I will cancel my internet, my cell phone, my cable TV and have nothing to do with satellites. I will go back to News Papers delivered to my home. I will watch only broadcast television and put my land line back in.
  Then it will be just like the old days when the FBI only tried to infiltrate us and set us up in a sting. They can tap my land line and I will make up stuff to talk about. Gotta keep those guys busy listening.
  Remember this is a huge country and there's lot of land where no one lives. It's easy to escape the city life. Just get on a bus, Gus, drive your car Lar, and get the hell out of there.
  Everytime I think of our current government I think of Star Wars and the wise words of Princess Leia:
  "The tighter your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers"

  The only Robots I'm worried about are the Drones guided by humans. I'll shoot them down if they fly over my property.

• On the post: Saudi Religious Police: Anyone Using Twitter 'Has Lost This World And His Afterlife'

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 17 May, 2013 @ 08:39am

  No great loss, since there is no proof of an afterlife. From what I've seen of God's works, that would be the ultimate joke on you. You believed it because some human wrote it down, and there is nothing there for ya. Oops! Control the masses with the fear of losing their immortal soul. Har Har!

• On the post: This Week's Bad Photoshopping Lesson Comes From Scientology

  Scientology and Tom Cruise are wankers!

• On the post: Footage Of Lethal Beating Deleted From Seized Phone; Sheriff Asks FBI To Take Over Investigation

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 17 May, 2013 @ 05:52am

  Record the incident directly to the cloud. Don't be a dumbass and have it sitting on your phone. If they confiscate your phone with no footage on it. That's a lawsuit. Sue the bastards, they are broke. Nail them now!

• On the post: How GEMA Is (Still) The Worst 'Collective Rights' Organization In The World

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 16 May, 2013 @ 06:02am

  I want to watch GEMA go to the German Underground Club(s) and try to collect. That's a mini-series. I would pay for that. I'm sure it will be very entertaining. They have SWAT right?

• On the post: Eric Holder Answers Question About Kim Dotcom Prosecution

  Holder will never let his guard down. He is the best of pimps.

• On the post: CBS Says It Could Move To Cable In A 'Few Days' If Aereo Wins; Receives Several Offers To Help Pack Its Bags

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 03 May, 2013 @ 06:46am

  Cable TV doesn't respond to my requests which are "Let me pay for only the Channels I want". I really, really don't want all the extra channels. So I stopped buying it. Cable AND Dish, the big come on for the big ripoff. I don't know what LALA Land the CBS CEO is living in but the lala land I live in, CBS is required by law to broadcast over the open airwaves. ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and the GW are all networks and required by the FCC to broadcast. That's it no more argument. After all we were forced to buy all those stupid digital boxes so we could watch TV.

• On the post: Pirate Party Elected To Parliament In Iceland, First Pirate Party Victory In National Parliament

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 29 Apr, 2013 @ 01:25pm

  Hallelujah!! About time. I don't remember a lot from my youth because of the haze I was operating in, but I remember this lesson from George Lucas. The most poignant line every stated in a movie and I quote from Star Wars "The tighter your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers." In other words MPAA and RIAA, we smell your foul stench. The corporations forget that according to the supreme court they are only 1 person, 1 entity. So treat as such. Vote against anything the corporations want. Believe me when I say no corporation is your friend! Unless you are an American politician then that's all that matters. The hell with the people.

• On the post: Gawker Defies Judge, Refuses To Take Down Post About Hulk Hogan Sex Tape Despite Court Order

• On the post: McAfee Patents System To 'Detect And Prevent Illegal Consumption Of Content On The Internet'

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 27 Apr, 2013 @ 06:23am

  As a tech for 30 years I have installed thousands of McAfee ripoffs. We used to joke? McAfee was creating the viruses! He was just too quick in finding the latest greatest virus. Nothing sells product like fear. We made 2 mill a year just installing it. What a gravy train. But totally full of it. In all my years as a tech and cleaning Virus, Malware and just bad installs I have never run across a virus that actually did any harm. I never lost a hard drive, I never lost a computer. I had way more problems with crap manufacturing of computer parts than I ever did with a Virus. GM was a customer and we found the Word virus on thousands of documents. Did it hurt anything? NO! It just spread itself around. But we made tons of money getting rid of it. Companies like GetSavin with their browser hijacking are far more worrisome and predatory than any virus I ever ran into.
  To cement my point: Have you ever heard of a hacker losing their system because they were developing a virus? NO! Never! It would be in a blog somewhere. Google it. "hacker loses system developing virus" I did! Nobody has ever been reported.

• On the post: MPAA Tells US Government To Screw Over The Blind, Reject Fair Use

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 21 Apr, 2013 @ 07:17am

  Absolutely! Who cares about the blind? They don't watch movies. They don't buy movies. Who gives a shit about them. They are not Customers. Why should you give a damn about someone who doesn't pay.

• On the post: The Greatest Trick The Government Ever Pulled Was Convincing The Public The 'Hacker Threat' Exists

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 17 Apr, 2013 @ 07:20am

  Most of the intrusions are Search Engines. They are always interrogating our servers. We have secure servers, so no hacking problems, just out of date search engines.

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 16 Apr, 2013 @ 07:07am

  You should put the petition on here. You have to sign up at whitehouse.gov in order to sign it, that why no one is signing it. That's bull. I don't want them having my email address. Too much spam!

  Love the Ninth Circuit, too bad the rest of them don't go along with them. Too many cases get overturned from the Ninth.

• On the post: Exxon Hates Free Speech

  

  Shon Gale ( profile ), 13 Apr, 2013 @ 08:54am

  It seems that is the new direction for all American Companies since they started doing business with China. They want to monitor and censor all employees and customers to verify they are good and following the company line. We in the USA call it Communism.

  It won't be Apple or Microsoft. Apple will sue over stupid rounded corners and Microsoft will bore us to death with squares. Strange world!
