Posted by samzenpus on from the lock-it-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Simon St. Laurent reviews the options in the wake of recent NSA revelations. 'Security has to reboot. What has passed for strong security until now is going to be considered only casual security going forward. As I put it last week, the damage that has become visible over the past few months means that we need to start planning for a computing world with minimal trust.'"

    "Thrustworthy" sounds like a colloquialism for someone worth having sex with.

    Whatever, I could use a holiday. If chatting about buying a kitten or playing guitar hero can get me a free holiday, then by all means I will continue what I'm doing.

    If you think extraordinary rendition is like being on holiday, I'd hate to see where you usually vacation.
