Think about it this way. Say you’re being chased by the police and you have two options. The first option is to run into a neighborhood you’re familiar with, but that has few people, and hope you can hide out somewhere they won’t think to look. The second option is to run into a crowded, but CC-TV monitored, fair with half a million other people.

On the internet you can create artificial traffic to waste time, you can use proxies you bounce your traffic into other jurisdictions, you can easily create clean e-mail addresses, you can take advantage of encryption, you can use public hot-spots and unsecured (or poorly secured) wifi. All the while any investigator will have to find some way to slog through the mess you’ve made and differentiate you from all the other uses with similar activity profiles.

I’ve got 14 strong wifi signals from my couch. Three of those are complete unsecured, seven of those have the default router name (meaning one of them likely has a default password). With ten minutes of effort and a program any child can use you can brute force most WEP keys. Monitoring the internet is ridiculous, a violation of privacy, and unacceptable. Its also essentially worthless.

Got it. Just making a note for when the shit hits the fan.

I could always hit the fire out of lefties. I could see the ball much better coming across the pitcher’s body.

You should’ve learned to switch hit.

Besides, I am Tarheel and we were BORN to fight!

Go HEELS!

1. southpaws throw a right hook, not a left hook (unless they’re wild haymaker throwers, like right-handed Mayorga). It’s the right jab, straight left and right hook that are unfamiliar to conventional stance fighters.

2. while De La Hoya is left handed, he fights in the conventional stance. That gives him a stronger jab and left hook, since he’s leading with his strong hand. That comes at the expense of his straight right, which isn’t as strong. It’s a trade off that has been successfull for him, but isn’t going to work for most lefties.

1) People will hopeful learn to encrypt more e-mails. And never e-mail evidence of criminal activity encrypted if the statute of limitations is longer than the time it would take to brute-force decrypt your message (including an estimate of improvements in such decryption with advances in technology).

2) Everyone should attach, to every single e-mail, several copies of mp3s, oggs, flvs, textual lyrics, jpeg stills, etc of Rick Asten’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”.

Cuba is far left-leftie Utopia. Communism works just fine if the right people are in charge, right? Never mind the destitution and squalor. They get to see a Doctor (maybe a Dr., well, some guy with a stethescope, anyway) for free! Every 5 years or so.

I played enough baseball in my youth to know that I would rather not face a southpaw pitcher.

I’ll just leave this here.

The Left is even more absurd on this than your post indicates. They venerate Castro, who has credibly been accused of 25,000 murders, and who instituted a revolution on his own and still (at least nominally) holds power. Pinochet, on the other hand, is only accused of killing half that number, or even less, in the process of fighting a Civil War against an executive (and faction) who had grossly overstepped the limits of his office, and at the request of his country’s legislative body. And whatever he may have done for his own benefit while in charge, he also restored the country’s economy and in the end stepped down voluntarily.

The key is that the Left absolutely cannot allow the behavior of their pet monsters (such as Castro, Mao, and Pol Pot) to be held up to anything like objective standards of civilized behavior. If they did, too much of their make-believe world would come crashing down around their ears. So they must demonize anti-Communist bastards like Pinochet and Franco while defending creeps who make them look like boy scouts.

I hate teaching teaching lefties though. Never seem to get it correct, because the entire game is different, and I just can’t seem to get the parries correct when teaching a lefty.

Hate fencing lefties in sabre, but I love doing it in epee, because the trick I figured was to just keep my arm outside theirs, and I can pick them off most of the time, because they’re so used to that being their trick and don’t expect it from a righty.
