I should have included that in my original statement.

Don't ever talk to the police of your own accord.

TrueCrack - a brute-force password cracker for TrueCrypt volume files [RIPEMD160, XTS block AES; CUDA optimized] by fnord0in netsec

[–]onyxrev 3 points4 points ago

It hides the data in the "free space" of the normal volume. Because it's all random data you can't discern which is which. That's why if you fill up the normal volume you hose the hidden volume's data. So don't do that.

800-year-old tree at Vancouver Island park falls to illegal loggers by jonsweetheartsin worldnews

You've picked such an easy example. Congress created the Oil Liability Spill Trust Fund to protect their oil buddies which limits their liabilities to a ridiculously low $75 million.

Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/02/us/02liability.html

Without the government's help that project would have been so risky to BP's liability that they would never have considered it. And that's not factoring in the revolving door policy where EPA officials get cushy oil job for giving dubious inspection exeptions for rigs just like BP's.

In need of help with an Al iMac and 12.04 by Uberg33kin Ubuntu

[–]onyxrev 2 points3 points ago

More recent Macs won't boot from an Ubuntu USB or CD unless you have both inserted. This took me forever to figure out. No idea why. And my MBP doesn't have a CD drive, so I had to borrow an external from someone.

I don't know if you really are missing an EFI partition. I think if it were really gone the thing wouldn't boot at all, so you GPT is probably just out of sync. The only way to get EFI back is to install OSX again, wiping the whole drive. Follow the most recent guides in the wiki from there.

I believe you will need rEFIt installed even if you are single-booting Ubuntu.

The worst part for me and the part that I think most Libertarians find most offensive is that one cannot typically hold one's government accountable for such mistakes like one can an individual or private company.

The year of the linux Desktop!

Sorry, had to. I have noticed the same thing. People recognize it on my screen thanks to the new colour scheme.

Chomsky: Bush tortured, Obama kills by Diego780in Libertarian

Ah. Excellent. At least they're consistently hypocritical.

I realized the other day that his administration kills people because he promised not to employ extraordinary rendition.

There are Libertarian socialists who map well to his notions.

When someone yells from a car window you can ... by Aushikerin bicycling

That is totally excellent, goofy laugh and all.

I've seen this graphic before and I have done most of these things. I will tell you that these ideas are all equally likely to piss off a driver who doesn't want you to be there. The idea that this so-called positive action will make a difference to them is ignorant because they don't see the world that way. It'll just be antagonism. There is nothing short of getting out of the road that will satisfy them. The sorts of people who will berate a biker only understand power and property. The police will do nothing for you. Those drivers deserve a smashed tail light courtesy of a U-lock or a healthy dose of pepper spray in the air intakes. Bikes have no identifying plates. Take advantage of that.

This is coming from someone who used to bike with laminated copies of the law in my jersey.

FBI Entrapment Is Inventing 'Terrorists' by zzill6in Anarchism

[–]onyxrev 2 points3 points ago

I'm being a little coy, but I'm saying that there are plenty of people getting arrested who either a) haven't committed acts of terrorism but are committing civil disobedience or, more important for this argument, b) strict pacifists and/or journalists who have nothing to do with terrorism.

Additionally, if you want to be arrested don't commit acts of terrorism. Just to clear things up.

It is now illegal to be homeless in Denver by cristoperin Anarchism

[–]onyxrev 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. I've moved a ton. 14 times in the past ten years or so. It's always a bitch of a chicken-and-egg problem getting bank accounts, ID, somewhere to live, and a job. Except in Canada. I moved to Vancouver from San Francisco and pretty much everyone let me scribble down anything. I got a cell phone by providing a PO Box address and got a PO Box by writing down the address of the cell phone store ("wow! you must live right downtown!" "uh, yeah! crazy!"). Changed them later to real addresses once I had some place to live. Even doing that is probably illegal some places.

I for one agree with you. I think it's important to prove who you are so that votes can actually mean something? We should lower barriers to getting an ID, if anything.

Or perhaps provide for other means to prove identity.

[–]onyxrev 3 points4 points ago

Interesting point. Honest question: do you think homeless people vote?

So basically we're going to provide taxpayer funded room and board for homeless people by throwing them in jail? Brilliant. Well played prison industry.

Okay, guess Canadian Redditors don't want that and think it's a bad idea. Y'all are odd.

As a Libertarian this made me sad. Respect went down a notch, for sure.
