US/UK Will Stage 'Cyber-Attack War Games' As Pressure Against Encryption Mounts
An anonymous reader writes: British prime minister David Cameron is currently visiting Washington to discuss the future of cyber-security in Britain and North America. The leaders have announced that their respective intelligence agencies will mount ongoing cyber-attack "war games" starting this summer in an effort to strengthen the West's tarnished reputation following the Sony hacking scandal. Somewhat relatedly, a recently-leaked Edward Snowden document show the NSA giving dire warnings in 2009 of the threat posed by the lack of encrypted communications on the internet.
Fortunately the US is likely to tell Cameron to fuck off, since it would be unconstitutional to ban encryption and after the economic damage that the NSA did they won't allow the UK to force service providers to back-door their apps.
Have you forgotten? Up to and including the Clinton years, encryption was classified as a "munition" and was very much controlled by the US Government.
Wow. I mean double wow. Is this that new common core system I keep hearing about? Common core 'free form' word art. or somesuch?
Mr. Sadler, you have written a string of I guess 15 or 20 sentences together, loosely directed at the topics of crime, substance abuse, mental illness, sexuality, hiring practices and such.
Your initial assertion, that burgalaries and caused primarily by "substance abuse or mental illnesses" is made, then you don't even attempt to support this in any way, while rambling on - in a few cases nonsensically, and others you simply throw things out there devoid of any logical argument at all ("Businesses also create criminals.") and finally move on to the blockbuster statement that society in fact wants crime.
So which is it? Are burgalries the result of substance abuse and mental illness, or are they caused by businesses and the justice system? Is this, in the end, all perfectly normal and good, because society in fact wants these criminals?
I have to ask, is this the product of your schooling? Or is there some other reason (like for example "usual levels of psycopathy due to mental problems")? I wonder for a minute here if this is what happens to a persons mind when they spend excessive amounts of time on twitter, where, I seem to recall, you are limited to issuing 'Twits' (or whatever they are called) in 40 characters or less, all day long for months at a time. I wouldn't know, because I have never, nor have I ever wanted to Twit myself.
Are you aware of what you are doing? That is to say, that your communication, in this case at least, indicates to me that you need at the very least to lay off the coffee, or worse I suppose, lay off the blue meth.
I've never seen anyone write this way and it does worry me. Is this really what our educational systems are producing? On the other hand as it just occurred to me after writng that sentence, are you 12?
Anyway, if you are 12, do please pay attention when you start to take English courses as you may be latching onto some interesting ideas, you just need to look for ways to organize your thoughts, understand basic logic and reason, and then lear ways to express these ideas. If you are in fact much older than 12, I'm frieghtened, I sincerely think you may be suffering from "usual levels of psycopathy due to mental problems" and you may want to call someone.
Good grief, I will *never* go anywhere near facebook or twitter, and thank god I never have.
Good day sir!
