    The answer is reducing the power of the government so that corporations can not use the government against the people.

    We actually have proof that Google has fought at least one NSL already.
    So I think you can do it. You just have to have some balls and be Rich and Powerful to even think about it.

    Those NSLs did not just go to Verizon.
    They went to Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.
    We know one company just handed it over from a leak. We know one company is fighting NSLs.
    So we know the rest they already have.

    Why use it in court.
    Use data to find you enemies. (Democrat / Republican / Tea Party)
    Use IRS and EPA and ICE and FBI to harm you.

    So. Choosing and being forced are equal now.

    You have to PAY the license fee if you are CAPABLE of watching BBC.

    what I really don't understand is why building a nuclear power station is really news worthy.

    You will understand why it is news worthy once figure out how long it has been since the last bit of "New" nuclear power was built.

    The truly wonderful thing about Linux though is that you can like yours and I can like mine and for the most part we can still work together.

    I am not being a dick.
    I believe that in most cases that you should give the company a few months to put out a patch.
    Microsoft has shown many times that they will wait a year or more to patch stuff that people find for them.
    This is dangerous. If one person can find it and give it to you to fix another can find it and exploit it.
    The only way to make Microsoft patch things with importance is to disclose. Same with Oracle.

    just that he should inform Microsoft directly, instead of assuming that everyone on the planet should read that mailing list, and give them some reasonable time to fix it before publishing.

    The problem here is power and control. The US government is supposed to be one in which it "Serves" the public.
    They have too much power. Too much control. It needs to be ripped back from them. It needs to be done before they make it impossible.
    They are very close now.
