you assume the Obama DOJ is looking to continue the program, rather than simply support the Defense of AT&T.
Trying to stop a legal precedence from being made where private companies should be afraid to help their government, even when their government is with in the scope of the constitution is not the same thing as continuing an illegal spying program on the American citizens.
The problem with this statement is the lawsuit is not addressing what AT&T did. This lawsuit is seeking damages from government officials who knowingly broke the law.
These laws are very clear on wire taping, and it is not hard to get a FISA warrant if the taps are justified.
What the Obama administration is doing is really disappointing. I was cautiously optimistic that this guy could implement some real change, but that does not seem to be happening here. Lots of talk, not much behind it.
People often wonder why there is so little interest in elections in this country. Well this is it. A candidate takes the course of, "I am going to give you change [in how government is run]", gets a bunch of people excited about it, they rally and get the candidate elected, and then nothing happens. That is more likely to disenfranchise his base then anything the other side could have done.
I voted for the guy, and I still think he is better then the alternatives we had, but my cautious optimism has turned into the realization that this guy is not really different then any of the others. I sort of expected that, but it is still sad.
A software program running on a computer automatically replaces itself with a newer version in a completely automated fashion, without interruption of its primary function, and in a manner that is completely transparent to the user of the computer.
So would conficker be in violation of this patent?
