You're like an ad popping up in the middel of TV What do you do to those pesky ads?

There's a lot of comments on this article, but. Hackaday should be more diligent. This article is supposition. There are no facts in it. Is it possible? Yes, I know for a fact what governments are capable of. And there are plenty of news stories depicting that router x has a backdoor for government Y and so forth, which are very specific, why isn't this article? But to post a story about this without any factual evidence is damaging to the IT industry. So IT person (me for a few hours) freaks out that they need to replace all of their hardware. From my reading up on this, the likely story is that there is a security flaw in the BMC as stated by Amazon when they acquired supermicro. This is a bug, not some government spy hole. Now, there maybe some server manufacturer that is using supermicro motherboards and building complete servers with this “chip” backdoor on them. but single them out if this is the case. Otherwise It's all B.S. And “oh it possible” as an IT person you account for the possible. But if there is hard evidence that some equipment or software is compromised, then it needs to be replaced.

Ok, I'm going to talk about religion. I know it's a touchy subject, but that's the problem. I hate the fact that people that believe in religion believe that their belief is the one true belief. It is the only one that can and will be. Who's to say you are correct about the religion that you believe in. What about the other guy's religion. Who's to say he isn't right. You can't go around acting all high and might thinking that you know the answer. This is what starts wars. I'm right and you're wrong and you need to suffer the consequences. Why can't you religious people just accept that the other person has a different way at looking at life then you do. It's an opinion. Yours, theirs, respect each others opinion and you'll probably get along. Thinking you know the answer and everyone else is wrong is arrogant. You don't have to agree with their religion you just have to accept that they have their point of view. Their point of view is different from yours. It's just like one of you liking Mexican food and the other liking Thai food. Accept your neighbor for who they are and don't judge them.

maybe it is due to the fact that when I am first introduced to a new person, I have this stand off emotional response and that is what is pushing the person I'm with away. This stand off emotional response is my uneasy feeling I have when around new people. It is basically my nervousness and unsure-ed-ness about what they want, what they are doing, and how they will react.
