That is only because the Wikileaks people were able to move fast enough to ensure that you could still read it. It was not the US government that facilitated your ability to view it. In fact they tried all the tricks they could to silence the site.
Society cannot advance until perception is aligned with reality. America has become the mother of all lies. More and more it seems that our Constitution is an hurdle to those who would seek to govern us rather than the guiding principles.
The only criminal activity I see running rampant is in the major banks and governments in the "Western Democracies". Perhaps INTERPOL can start by ID-ing politicians and bankers and track their flow of money and transactions first. Think of it as a high value pilot project.
How about Fucking Wall Street and Banking Corruption Crackdown???
You know why we're voting you out in 2012? Because of the massive collusion between Washington, Wall Street, and Bankers to fleece and rip off the American People every chance they get.
Those jackasses in Washington worrying about copyright have much bigger things to worry about IMO.
But I don't see the connection between no-privacy and cost of living discounts and crime. Prisons lack privacy yet crimes still happen. As far as cost saving? If I know your vices, your living habits, your consumption behavior I will charge you more for that Rum, the doughnuts, you name it cause I know you need is not elastic.
Let's not forget the education model is still mostly outdated. The breadth and depth of knowledge for many traditional courses has expanded exponentially. Not to mention there are a few new ones particularly in genetics, bio-tech, etc.
Should the study and test model of the industrial age still apply in the (unprecedented volumes of) Information age?
They are still useful if they are repurposed they simply may not be useful for the original objective for which they were designed. Think the original apple computer selling for $200K+ recently.
Free Software != Open Source software. Open Source Really has nothing to do with free. The value of Open Source is that you are able to look under the hood. If it happens to be Free and Open and Good ala Apache and many others then it's just a bonus.
Of course you still need IT staff to manage it, pay for a computer to install it upon, and all the other fun stuff. Just because it's Open Source doesn't mean Joe Sixpack can suddenly administer a server - duh.
Having said that, experience has shown that Open Source software documentation is infinitely better than the rubbish in MS user manuals.
10:1 says its some statement strung together by a bunch of assumptions, conjectures, and hypothesis without any real proof of any biological entity actually being anywhere but here on Earth.
"Napolitano added she hoped the US could get to a place in the future where Americans would not have to be as guarded against terrorist attacks as they are and that she was actively promoting research into the psychology of how a terrorist becomes radicalized."
Abolish the Department of Homeland Stupidity, imprison corrupt officials like you Ms. Napolitano, and let Americans have their country back. When people fear their government more than terrorists you have to begin to wonder who the REAL terrorists are.
"United States probably wouldn't experience on a corresponding scale"
Pure horse shit. The only reason the United States doesn't do more with mass transit including rail is the government is a sell out to to auto and airline industries. America's corporate lobby from the industrial age is relegating the United States to third world status in the digital age.

"We should prepare for a world where our products will be exchanged for free" - Really??? how bout giving me your car now to get this model started.
That is exactly what brought it to this point ... everyone is waiting for "our leaders have done anything to address it"
Americans need to get off their fat lazy asses as take grab that ol' bull by the horns.

Doesn't the TSA already have a big lead in "study[ing] Uranus"?
WTF is going on - really?
"Drug couriers captured by Australian authorities at airports last year were carrying a total of 27kg of drugs."
Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor, you sir are an ASSHOLE.
MS is the kiss of death for Nokia
"There's a sucker born every minute". To spot them see if they're using a Apple or Amazon device. LOL
"under no circumstance is it possible to confess by iPhone"
What about a burning bush????? I suppose that's an approved holy communication device?
Because these firms are anything but "intelligent". They are too stooopid to secure their own systems.

30% more Shit from the USPTO
There I fixed that for you.
"I - personally - find it frustrating that we listen to the naval-staring philosopher, and forget what wisdom is in the same moment."
I find it frustrating that people can't spell "NAVEL". I have stood next to friends of wisdom....
Naval - "of or pertaining to warships"
Navel - "umbilicus"
"'One-Way Public Relationships' in social networks and other online properties, lawyer-speak for what's more commonly known as being a 'fan' "
Microsoft should patent assholes too, layman-speak for what's more commonly known as being a lawyer.
Enough is enough already: abolish the USPTO
How Huck Fin to try and white-wash America's racist history.
