The NSA's policies have remained constant through "liberal" and "conservative" administrations. This is not a liberal/conservative or right wing/left wing issue. You don't need to decide which side you are on before you decide where you stand on the issue of the NSA's bulk surveillance of American citizens. Maybe you actually ought to think for yourself on this issue!!!
The NSA is a HUGE waste of money. I defy anyone to prove otherwise.
I like the idea of the NSA spying on the rest of the world. But when the NSA starts spying on Americans, bad people--very bad people--have taken over the NSA. These people are acting just like Stasi functionaries and it is scary.
Interesting you choose Ford as an example. Ford made its own share of death-dealing devices during WWII.
The Kalashnikov was born out of the USSR's life and death struggle with the German Reich. Don't see why anybody would have a problem with the designer.
(1) PR professional goes viral to a degree that she only dreamed of before (but it's not pretty). (2) People talk about her comment. (3) People talk about people talking about her comment. (4) People talk about people talking about people talking about her comment.
Yeah . ... And in the 19th Century Great Britain held an even vaster proportion of our national debt. Didn't turn out quite so great for those Brits, though.
Properly evaluating other peoples' work is very hard. The comparative evaluation of that work with other people's work is even harder. But in an optimal system, such evaluation is essential. This is one of the fundamental problems of leadership--and universities suck at it.
Publication isn't even the most important category of work output--teaching quality is. But teaching gets shunted aside, because nobody is really taking the time to carefully evaluate the quality of the teaching. Prospective students ought to be able to make informed decisions about their prospective teachers.
The real resources need to be put into hiring and retaining people who will fairly evaluate great work. Those are your most important people.
This is the fault of the Schools. The Schools pressure academics to publish, and the only publishing outlet is often Elsevier.
The Schools need to bind all of their academics to these contractual terms: (1) The School reserves the right to openly publish all work of its author-professors for no money. (2) The School designates the author-professor of the work as its agent for such open publishing. (3) The School will never ever second guess any decision made by the agent/author-professor's regarding any open publishing decisions that the agent/author-professor makes. (4) This agreement does not limit the author-professor's ability to profit from his or her work in any way whatsoever.
I totally agree with you, but I don't think it will be just drums and chants! Home production of first-class music is now available to almost everybody.
Unless there is dope residue in the car, there is no way that any prosecutor would ever charge this because there is no way they could prove the intent element.
It doesn't help the cause of privacy when people use ridiculous hyperbole to attack the government.
If the NSA-created holes really are "certainly" attributable to identity theft cases, then SHOW ME THE PROOF. Otherwise, stick to reporting the facts and omit your government-hating opinions.
The 4th Amendment protects people, but it also has a place protection component. The Supreme Court has been explicit about this.
If you enter into my home or place of business without a warrant (or exigent circumstances) and fiddle bits on my computer, then you are violating the Constitution.
If you buy the Court's reasoning, then the feds could move data (stored by me on behalf of another) from one hard drive of mine to another without a warrant.
Terry Childs arrogated to himself the right to decide who had the "right" to said passwords. The passwords belong to the PUBLIC, not him. Terry Childs doesn't have the right to make that decision. Terry Childs was a nutcase.
No fucking way is that plain view. First, it has to immediately be apparent that it is evidence, contraband, etc. The cop didn't have the slightest authority to lift up the file folder to see what was inside--because a GUN (all that was authorized to search for in the warrant) could NOT be inside the file folder.

This is awful and it needs to stop.

Selling dysfunctional encryption as functional encryption looks a lot like fraud to me.
Looking back with a little bit of perspective (after the NSA revelations), what do you think of 'The Zenith Angle' now.
Somewhere in China a group of Bitcoin-speculating bureaucrats are very happy right now.
Must make the Bitcoiners really happy to know that their financial world can be so readily disrupted . . ..
New Law Needed!!
If the Doctor doesn't wash his hands every time he visits you for treatment, then the Doctor must complete the treatment and cannot charge you for it.
This would cure MRSA REALLY quick!!

I like "Congress shall make no law . . ." and the incorporation of that provision into the Due Process Clause.

This would solve the problem.
Why wouldn't this work?
I totally agree with you, but I don't think it will be just drums and chants! Home production of first-class music is now available to almost everybody.
The problem remains distribution and promotion.

Major constitutionality problems.
All this is nothing to me. I'm waiting for a viable, programmable (and private) bike HUD (with rearview, HR, wattage, and navigation data.
That's what I'm waiting for.
If a contract was formed, the Company probably has a clause requiring either arbitration or litigation in its home jurisdiction.

Where's the great catastrophe for all the TRILLIONS of dollars we are wasting at the NSA?
This is unimaginable waste for negligible gain. And these people call themselves patriots . . ..

My dollar isn't just backed by lying bureaucrats. It's backed up by people with guns--big guns. And don't you forget it!

He got overprosecuted, though. That's for sure.
Give me a break. If the job's too risky quit.
And stop stealing out of peoples' luggage!!
There's no hint that the government is behind this. It looks like a squabble between to polygraph examiners.
The Supreme Court is really clear on this. If you tap a land line without a warrant, you violate the Constitution.
As the water table in Arizona drops deeper and deeper, year after year . . ..

This is SERIOUS bullshit.
