[00:18:45] <x> *** new comment: 03hemocyanin [186] (Score:2) 02Go ahead - 06TSA Moves Closer to Rejecting Some State Driver’s Licenses for Airline Travel - 790 chars -04 http://soylentnews.org
[00:18:45] <x> 08└─I'm all for the states refusing to comply, and the Feds then requiring non-compliant states' residents to use their passport to fly, because it reinforces the notion that the US is 50 individual states (in the international sense -- like France is a state and Sweden is a state) which have banded tog...

[00:18:54] <x> 08└─They'd rather have people they could rely upon, not lose their tribal wisdom, not have to do a fresh search for the right skills every damn time. This is damned expensive. However, there are lots of times when these people are, for one reason or another, not a good fit for the permanent workforce. T...

[00:19:07] <x> 08└─At least with double density disks, it is clear that 1kB has 1024 bytes (2 512 byte sectors). Using double density disks is actually less confusing than using High-density diskettes: because with high density (1.2MB and 1.44MB) diskettes, 1MB=1000kB, which is again, 1024bytes.

[00:19:59] <x> 08└─They want a chilling effect on encryption. Discourage wide spread use of encryption capable of resisting surveillance and even lawful warrants. Keep close tabs on the remaining users.

[00:21:24] <x> 08└─Well, it probably takes using a heavy hand in dealing with the incompetent bureaucratic bozos running the train service. That's something the US refuses to do, but someone like Hitler has no problem doing. Google for how the DC Metro train system is doing these days; it's an absolutely disaster.

[00:21:53] <x> 08└─Is your reading comprehension that bad? You really don't see the difference? Maybe it would help if you pictured a progressive reformer, surrounded by one of the more chemically empowered groups of Occupy movement people, head in her hands while the TV cameras roll, saying: "Guys, please, stop tryin...

[00:24:54] <x> 08└─I read everything you said, and you are making a distinction without a difference. The difference exists only in your mind, and you seem to like to impose your definitions on the world at large. It would seem you actually do like Hierarchy after all.
