Explostive story on Beto O'Rourke held by reporter till after election

[CanadianJudo]

do you have proof that Beto hacked anything?

[TheDoctorIsIn]

I’m not opposed to that idea, but there a lot of them out there. I’m sure they already have a number of them.

[TheDoctorIsIn]

Of course it is.

Just this afternoon, I whistled into my cell phone, and made a free long-distance call.

This is movie was based on the life of beto.

So you’ve never used an acoustic coupler modem? Make the connection, get the tone, put the receiver in the modem cradle, and off you go. So yes, you COULD do that.

[TheDoctorIsIn]

I was gonna go with Hackers, but that works too.

Hack the planet!

Why did they sit on this story it only makes Beto even cooler.

[BonAppetit]

The media was in the tank for Beta from day one.

Beta wrote about fantasies about killing children. Yet it’s devoted family man Ted Cruz who is the creepy zodiac killer.

Can you only imagine is the reporter had discovered it was a Republican candidate that was a member of an infomous hacker group in their youth? Now way in hell it have been held.

Reuters reporter Joseph Menn exclusively revealed on Friday that Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke belonged to one of the best-known groups of computer hackers as a teenager.

After more than a year of reporting, Menn persuaded O’Rourke to talk on the record. In an interview in late 2017, O’Rourke acknowledged that he was a member of the group, on the understanding that the information would not be made public until after his Senate race against Ted Cruz in November 2018.

Can’t help but wonder if the election would have been more of a blow out for Cruz had this information come to light just before the election instead of 4 mouths after the election.

Even now it doesn’t seem to be gaining any traction in the lamestream media about his hacking days. You know with the Russian hacking and all . . .

Clearly Beto’s discussion under an agreement stole that election. It’s just the same as Trump and the National Enquirer, I’ll bet you think.

[FlameHeart]

Okay, but what policies does he have that will make the country a better place? The POTUS election should not simply be a popularity contest. Sometimes the best policies are not always the popular ones.

[CanadianJudo]

You do know that pretty much everyone who work in cyber security was a hacker.
DARPA is full of former hackers.

I’ve heard from many people that Ted Cruz’s father helped kill JFK and Ted protects him and lets him near his children. So save the eye rolls.

Hacking is overrated these days anyway. It’s illegal, and even script kiddies get arrested and thrown in jail. I used to think hacking was funny too back in 6th grade when I played Toon Town, but in reality, it makes things a nightmare for programmers of well-intentioned software. If you want to create something cool, don’t steal another person’s work and alter it. Create your own.

I remember in the early 80s my boss carried a 20-something pound Osborne 1 on an overseas business trip, and burned it out using the wrong kind of step-down transformer for AC power in the UK. A couple years after that my wife and I bought our first computer, a Gateway 2000 286/20 running DOS. Back then you could actually do stuff with a 20 MB hard drive and 128K RAM. The tractor-feed dot matrix printer made a bit of a racket, though.

Hacking is what teenagers do when they learn about computers, they end up working for the DOD if they are good.

I worked on many Osburne’s in my youth… Also the Compaq luggables… I remember the first time I installed a 300MB hard drive and just could not understand why they need that much space… Okidata rules… Netware was magic…

Among the questions voters should ask, she said: “What was the violation? Was it egregious? What does it say about their character – do they believe the rules don’t apply to them?” If substantial time has passed, she added, voters should decide whether the person “learned the error of their ways and no longer engages in those kind of behavior.”

Funny how you people don’t read the links that are put up.

Second link were I linked the actual story.

Voters SHOULD ask

Voters SHOULD decide

Yet the author decided to agree to hold the story until AFTER the elction.

Why would he do that if it wouldn’t be bad for Beto?

Why would Beto not want the article BEFORE the election if it was going to be neutral or good?

Can you spot the difference between this story, and the story about Fox killing the Trump story until after the election? I’m curious to see if you can, or will.
