    Yea but look at your per month average expenditure on your phone bill now vs. then.

    They will just use it as an excuse to triple the cost. Did phone bills get cheaper? Did bandwidth get cheaper? Did rent get cheaper?

    No.

    They will do what the federal government says whether they or anyone else likes it or not and they will keep quiet about it at best, lie blatantly about it at worst. We need to stop this program and we aren't gonna get Google's help doing it. They are powerless in this situation.

    Thousands of unsecured IP cameras world wide belie your claims.

  9. Before "9/11" anyone would have told you that the US Air Force would have shot down any hijacked commercial planes if it would have saved lives of people in buildings on the ground. The 1 in 365 chance that terrorists would get lucky and pick the one day the entire Air Force is having a picnic was considered "insanely unlikely."

    Maybe they just don't have mass in this dimension, but gravity itself spills through to multiple dimensions.

    The new way to break into the "security research" market is to brand and report on entry-level system administration pitfalls in an alarmist fashion.

    Ok, to be fair I'm pretty sure that tar was never fixed and GNU tar was fixed less than a decade ago, but your point still stands as essentially valid.

    There is good evidence in either direction at this point.

    Stop arguing as though these two things are mutually exclusive. It's just as possible that he's helping Putin on purpose because he's incompetent, rather than in spite of it.

    His interview was originally aired on HBO. I'm sure you can find a pirated copy somewhere if it's not on youtube already.

    Why isn't Cheney hiding in Russia?

    I know you're trying to be funny, but unlike Snowden, Cheney is considered a war criminal there. Actually, technically he is here too... at least according to the law. It's somewhat profound to realize but, Snowden may actually be safer in more places around the world than Cheney.
