Exactly. He had explosive residue on him (or something else that triggered the sensor), he behaved like a wise-ass punk in front of the scanner, and then again in front of the pat-down. I'm not saying that any of those procedures or objects are right in themselves, but he knew how it worked, and he got what he had coming.
On the one side, you have hackers from everywhere, just aching to add your machine to their botnet (while ISPs just stand there, whistling, looking the other way), and on the other side, you have Microsoft behind whose back stands an ever more enabled US government, ready to copy your secrets 'for your own security, or that of the state'.
And you *must* choose. I say PJ had a point - that choice is just un-makeable.
"The paper had repeatedly pointed out how pointless destroying the data was: copies exist, and all reporting on the Snowden leaks is already being edited and published from locations other than the UK."
That may be, but I fathom that the UK's policy is: it may leak, but it won't leak from the UK.
That could also be, because people knew they ran a risk of being frisked, and thus didn't carry a weapon on them. Which may or may not have prevented crime.
Bottom line is: as in IT-security, preventative measures prevent intrinsically. The only way to tell how much they prevent, is to run an experiment double-blind on other, similar, unprotected environments.
Right then. So 'objects' are out. Does 'celestial bodies' work for ya? Oh, and you mention that 'the distinction between planets and moons is still a useful one' - can you give an example?
I remember having a discussion with my biology teacher: he claimed that humans don't have instinct - none, and why? Because the definition of 'instinct' involved stating that it didn't apply to humans. That's what these lists are: a way to win a discussion and if you can't win it, you just change the rules.
Yes, people need something they can relate to. Sure. But I'm not so sure that it would hurt if things were taught a little bit more to their specific merits: I remember how distraught I was when I learned (on my own BTW) that you could never walk on the surface of Jupiter. Why not? It's a planet after all!
Thinking of 'planets' and 'moons' is all nineteenth century 'science' - the edge of ascribing to God's plan and capturing everything observable in orderly lists, so that school-children have something to recite in groups: five continents, five senses, five races, seven seas, seven wonders of the ancient world, order species genus family class kingdom, and nine planets.
Today, I've uninstalled Skype. And every single one of my colleagues. If trust is all you have as a company, and something like this happens, then you can go bankrupt for all I care.
Apple is going to find out the hard way that 'fast development/aquisition' means something entirely different to Apple than it does to the military. Apple probably thinks that half a year is a long time, while the military thinks that five/ten years is quite average.
Apple is mistaken if it thinks it's going to play a role above level 'Restricted'. Well, unless it's pilots. But pilots get whatever they want anyway.

Good call. Nobody ever says Android is cool (in the way that Apple products are), but they're still at 70% of their market. So 'coolness' isn't it.
I wonder if 'free shipping' also includes trans-Atlantic shipping? To eh.. say Russia, for example?

You can have Ubuntu for Android. It is in beta and it works. I use it.

there is no picture of that meeting. It was confidential and shit. But, apparently, audio totally A-ok. Is this a clown-company or something?
You'd have to be really close to the equipment to detect that. Put it inside a Faraday room and your advantage is gone.
The editor's computer was infected by the world's largest computervirus.

In reality, things don't work out that way.
The NSA already knows the outcome of this trial.

That's why, today, we have error correction.
Take the text - run it through your own 'correctifier', and re-distribute. The trail will never stop at you.
x = y = z = 2, and A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is true for A=3, B=4, C=5. Common factor between 3,4 and 5 (other than 1)? None.
Because they come from fear. And fear is the emotion that keeps you alive.
Hey - you must be me! (Except for the DUCK). Did you also go on to learn C using the Borland C Compiler?
You find three people in a year, and then you have to do nothing else?
Well, I'm sure you've heard that Adolf Hitler was an Australian!
And we're *still* fighting *chat*wars? Bloody hell. You'd think the big boys would have found something better by now.
