Because, quite frankly, parts identified by hashes is not all they see. If you're monitoring and logging the traffic then it's trivial to not only determine the filename of a bittorrent download, but also everything you need to

Depends on the speed you most commonly drive. For urban drivers, they spend a lot of time at slower speeds where aerodynamics is less critical. Also, even pickup trucks are designed to be much more aerodynamic and efficient then they used t

Ha! I didn't even think of that. :) We're talking about a vehicle that's not really even relevant to the question of why different countries prefer different four-wheeled vehicles, though. People looking for a four-wheeled ca

Because the pickup truck form factor is the most efficient and inexpensive one there is. No really, hear me out! I see this asked all the time, but you're actually asking the wrong question. I mean, think about it, what's the most

I'm just a few pages in to the tutorial and I already want to try it out myself... but how? Where's the link? Is this not available to the public yet?

Has that always been? Were the first engineers regulated and licensed? By whom? Perhaps we're just looking at a category of engineering that is not yet at that level of maturity.

If this technology is being made available to consumers now, that means it's existed before now, probably for years, outside of the public's awareness. Makes you think. What's been faked in the last year or two that we didn&#

Ah, yes, if only the British had responded to the American rebellion by "not allowing it", then the US would have never existed. That sounds reasonable.

On the other hand, a very significant number of military bases (packed full of military weapons and equipment) are in California, and thanks to California's out-sized population a major portion of the current active military are native

That Venn diagram has little to no actual overlap at all. The objectivists just find it to be to their advantage, these days, to make it appear that they might. The controversy that you suggest is as manufactured as the controversy about an
