I’ll be watching. I have no voice so I can’t scream at the screen, which is something the other occupants here will appreciate. 🙂

My older kinder when he still lived at home would turn to me and say,
“You realize they can’t hear you, right?”

Wow, I think Reince should hand out daisies to go along with his snake oil Kumbayah skit.

Carson with his arms crossed.
And of course Trump was gracious to all of them 🙂

So I just went to CNN to watch on line (since I had too much coffee and can’t nap like I need to – pulling an all nighter) and am hearing them yap about the electronic data collection. It’s just silly. Nothing stopped that they were doing. New technologies are being used. New names. New methods. SMH

We lost our server for most of it, after patchy cutting in and out. I guess I’ll have to catch up and hope they post the whole debate unedited on UTube or something similar.

I remember reading articles back in the 90’s how encryption was compromised by our intelligence agencies. This is nothing new, and everybody has been using the same security encryption since then. And by everybody I mostly mean the public.

I haven’t listened or watched the prior debates (because they aren’t debates). I find it very disappointing how much technical misinformation is out there. I understand it isn’t their job to know the deep details of stuff, but whomever advises them seems to be just as misinformed.
Freedom of speech and a particular method of conveyance are not the same thing.

I just thoroughly enjoy deciphering personalities and I love watching Trump make their heads spin in a way that would rival the Exorcist babe.

Someone needs to have Trump stop using the term “Internet”. It’s a bunch of computers linked together via a network. “The Cloud” is just a marketing term for the “Internet”. It’s the same bunch of computers linked together, except you know even less where the data physically is sitting. Saying “We need to close down the enemy internet” is technically ambiguous to the Nth degree.
Just as a national security rant, we need to stop the offshore cloud storage data center locations. We need to bring computer chip manufacturing back into the country. Information technology HB-1 visa work needs to be suspended. Offshore customer support call centers also need to be stopped.

I consider myself a technology buffoon. But I do understand that Trump uses the word “internet” far too loosely. Anyhow I get that you can’t take pieces of the internet away like you can remove a physical thing. It sounds like we can at lest control some of the physical pieces that go into the network.
I don’t have a solution for keeping people who want to kill us off “a bunch of computers linked together via a network” other than to bomb the shit out of them 🙂
It sounds like you have some good first steps that would help us rein in the wind.

“… I don’t have a solution for keeping people who want to kill us off “a bunch of computers linked together via a network” other than to bomb the shit out of them…”
It’s not necessarily necessary to bomb anything to disrupt communications of a computer network. Most of todays networks are controlled by other computers that don’t do anything other than control the network. They are still computers though, based upon the same technology of the computers you want to interrupt.
Our technology industries have become less and less mindful of security in the last 20 years. Which goes back to my IT education rant.

Thanks Nyet, I agree. My comment was more to the point that the computers aren’t the problem the people who want to kill us are the problem. They were barbarians long before they used computers to promote their hate and savagery.
I appreciate your rant and your knowledge, if there is a way to make us safer and disrupt their use of computers I am all for it.

Get the software/hardware vendors out of the education system! The course materials are geared to selling more products and licenses four or more years in the future. It’s a revenue stream for the vendor. Almost all physical research and development is done offshore now.
