| schestowitz | " | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | Good article and dialogue. What is discussed is the conversation presents an interesting perspective. That said, I'm fascinated yet perplexed... | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | I couldn't help but notice that (on the one hand) statements are made about not changing behaviour, effectively a 'let the govt snoop if they want' -type reaction. On the other hand, rms is stating that he doesn't shy away from using Google for searches; however, he mentions using others' computers to do so. | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | In doing so, rms basically turns the other user into a human shield (bad turn of phrase, I know - others escape me even now...), adding to that individual's profiling data collected by Google (which is then passed, scooped, or otherwise "handed off" to govt). | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | I can absolutely appreciate the idea disarming Google's data collecting activities/abilities, but this method seems a bit... unsavory, or (at the least) not as human-centric as one might expect of such a brilliant, open, free thinker. I don't mean any of this as insult, I'm genuinely curious where one draws the line. | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | At what point should/could a user (who has nowhere near the resources of either good doctor) consider the idea of encrypting personal communication to keep nosey, Googley eyes out, yet bank on the idea that a motivated govt, should they crack said encryption, would only to reveal innocent communication and wasted efforts? Could this not be consider another way of thinking about the problem? | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | " | Jul 11 01:32 |
| schestowitz | I like the human shield analogy and I agree. | Jul 11 01:32 |

| schestowitz | Actually if you pay close attention to the NSA slides that are leaked as well as the FISA documents so far, it is clear you are far more likely to have your web traffic siphoned and analyzed if your connections are encrypted than not. The NSA captures all encrypted traffic with the idea that if it's encrypted it must be important and thus saved and subject to analysis at a later date. Whether or not they can | Jul 11 16:57 |

| schestowitz | In response to user another's computer for a Google search, it seems like a good tactic to me. In fact I know many people who randomly search for things on Google they are uninterested to confuse TPTB.

| schestowitz | As for getting in trouble for what another has done on your computer, time and time again the real life situations have shown that more often than not people are let off the hook in situations where they are initially incriminated for another's Internet behaviors.

| DaemonFC | ZOMG PINK PONIES says: | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | Well, they usually pay better anyway. | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | Some of the Meijer stores around the Fort Wayne area are unionized, and the start out pay is significantly higher than Walmart's. The price for the merchandise is similar. Some prices are lower, some are higher, but never by much. I'd say the average is probably the same. | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | The biggest difference is that a few extra dollars go into the pockets of the workers instead of the people who own the company. | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | Thankfully, there is a new Costco being built, with a second one proposed. There's also another Meijer being proposed. Combined with the rest of the hiring going on in the Fort Wayne area lately, and with any luck, it will put upward pressure on Walmart to raise wages. As the unemployment rate goes down and people can be a little bit pickier about where they choose to work, wages rise. Wages at Walmart will always be lower than a similar job | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | elsewhere, but they only have so much wiggle room. | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | Without the competition, businesses are basically free to pay minimum wage, which is depressingly low, and nobody can afford to argue with it because it's that or nothing. I'm excited about the employment prospects in that area. | Jul 11 17:10 |
| DaemonFC | The Republican-controlled hickville that I live in hasn't added jobs to a significant extent since the recession officially ended, but we're close enough to Fort Wayne that maybe a rising tide will lift our boat, despite the evil incompetent bastards that run Huntington. | Jul 11 17:10 |

| DaemonFC | Our mayor is the most worthless sack of shit in Indiana. | Jul 11 17:13 |
| DaemonFC | The U6 unemployment hasn't budged in years, but every time there's a ribbon and a camera nearby, expect an appearance from the mayor. | Jul 11 17:14 |
| DaemonFC | He's not as incendiary and offensive as his predecessor, but he's as functionally worthless. | Jul 11 17:15 |
| DaemonFC | The last one couldn't get a tax hike rammed through, so he punished the city by canceling trash pick up for more than three weeks. | Jul 11 17:16 |
| DaemonFC | When someone demanded that the trash pick up resume, and pointed out that our effective tax rate is the second highest of any county in Indiana, he replied by calling them "Taliban terrorists". | Jul 11 17:16 |
| DaemonFC | So they compromised. They raised taxes as much as he wanted to raise them to begin with, and called it a fee instead, and then started his next campaign boasting that the tax rate never increased under his "leadership". | Jul 11 17:17 |
| DaemonFC | They also started a "Grow Huntington" grant (I'm not sure if that's the exact name) with the promise of jobs, but what it really ended up doing was paying out tax money that they took from tax payers, to give to private businesses who are making a profit, so that they can upgrade their own property. | Jul 11 17:19 |
| DaemonFC | They recently approved $130,000 to replace an awning covering the sidewalk outside of an insurance agency. That's just an example. | Jul 11 17:20 |
| DaemonFC | Meanwhile, meanwhile..... Walmart is still enjoying effectively tax free status because they agreed to a ten year tax abatement in exchange for the promise of jobs, which mostly never appeared, are not full time, and pay close to minimum wage. | Jul 11 17:21 |

| DaemonFC | McAfee themselves have been using malware-style distribution tactics lately. | Jul 11 22:37 |
| DaemonFC | Somehow this McAfee Security Scan thing got on Dave's computer. | Jul 11 22:37 |
| DaemonFC | It pops up a box saying you should buy McAfee every now and then, and as far as I can tell, that's all it does. | Jul 11 22:38 |

| DaemonFC | Some routers have security vulnerabilities in their firmware which can be used to temporarily install malware on them. | Jul 11 22:41 |

| schestowitz | " | Jul 11 21:57 |
| schestowitz | Actually if you pay close attention to the NSA slides that are leaked as well as the FISA documents so far, it is clear you are far more likely to have your web traffic siphoned and analyzed if your connections are encrypted than not. The NSA captures all encrypted traffic with the idea that if it's encrypted it must be important and thus saved and subject to analysis at a later date. Whether or not they can | Jul 11 21:57 |
| schestowitz | break or have a backdoor into said encryption is a matter of debate at this moment. | Jul 11 21:57 |
| schestowitz | In response to user another's computer for a Google search, it seems like a good tactic to me. In fact I know many people who randomly search for things on Google they are uninterested to confuse TPTB. Using another's computer for a Google search does the same thing, the algorithms or individuals analysing search history will have a monkey thrown into the wrench so to speak. The same tactic can be used for | Jul 11 21:57 |
| schestowitz | targeted advertising algorithms. | Jul 11 21:57 |
| schestowitz | As for getting in trouble for what another has done on your computer, time and time again the real life situations have shown that more often than not people are let off the hook in situations where they are initially incriminated for another's Internet behaviors. Such as been the case with many people who broadcast open wifi hotspots. Everyone tries to scare them into believing they will be prosecuted and such | Jul 11 21:57 |
