Are they also going to release a story detailing what the Chinese are doing to spy on US from leaked Chinese intelligence?
Seriously?! Are you trying to insinuate that they wouldn't if such leaks were available to them? If so, then maybe you should actually read the actual article alternatively work on your reading comprehension before commenting again as there is a paragraph clearly indicating that they would.
If you have to subsidize it, then it ain't culture.
Isn't a lot of the US cultural institutions subsidized via donations and fund raisers so that rich folks to mingle and be seen with other of their ilk also pretending to be socially/culturally concerned by donating a tiny fraction of their wealth and then write off the donations on their taxes? The difference is that in socialist Europe we cut out the middle man by taxing directly and then distribute to directly to theaters, museums, art projects, movies and so forth.
Culture being subsidized is hardly anything new, be it via donations, taxes or a patron.
By your criteria Beethoven's compositions would fail to qualify as art as he were dependent on Archduke Rudolph's patronage to such a degree that he dedicated more than 10 of his compositions to Rudolph.
Maybe so, then again that might not be necessary as NSA are on very good terms with their Swedish equivalent FRA as revealed by a Snowden leak published in Sweden a couple of days ago which reported how FRA assisted NSA in the hacking of target machines in operation Winterlight. I can easily see how Sweden would bend over backwards to help USA gaining physical access to the cables just like with the extraordinary rendition of two asylum seekers in December 2001. I long ago ceased being proud of the (imaginary) neutrality and foreign politics of my native Sweden, and sadly find it easier and easier to explain why over a decade ago I decided to leave Sweden and its great health care, education, welfare, beautiful nature and so forth.
The type of tracking in question have nothing to do with what OS you use as it is done via those little social media links that are present all over on nearly every damn website of a reasonably large size.
Use an iPhone. Stop being the product.
Use CyanogenMod. Stop being the product or a tool.
The one thing that nothing seems to handle well are compilations - there's the dichotomy between "albums" as they are released vs. organizing based on artist, etc.
which is my only serious gripe with Clemetine, sure there are some clunky ways to work around it it but they aren't pretty. That aside, I do find that Clemenitine do the job very well, and based on the few times I've encountered iTunes I'd that say anything is an improvement
Foobar2000.
The only piece of software I really miss after moving to Linux.
Simple but effective GUI, crazily customizable and low on resources, Clementine which I use now is a good replacement but still there are times when I miss Foobar.
The book were published in 2009, the agent that prevented her entry specifically referred to a hospitalization that took place in 2012. How did they know about events that should be shielded under patient privacy laws and took place years after publishing of mentioned book? Unless you can point to a source describing her 2012 hospitalization that were publicly available at the time of her entry denial, then I'd say that her story have a very interesting place in this matter.
Might help more to educate the users what a certificate is.
Many of those users fall into the category that believe the CD tray is a cup holder, that Internet Explorer is the Internet and that Pass1234 is a secure password. Good luck educating them, I've tried and on more than one occasion left with the feeling of having dropped a few IQ points.
I summoned Walt Disney to ask him about his opinion on the matter but we got into a dispute on whom that would own the rights to the recording I were making of our session and before I could ask him he the question he flipped me off and vanished.
Possibly killing and maiming everybody in the same house by burning it down, is way worse than e little explosive in the face of a policeman.
Well.... I didn't recommend it as a solution only pointing out that for data destruction it would be rather extremely effective, and if side effects as described by you occurred it would quite likely severely set back the investigation, albeit with the quite possible result that from only being a person of minor interest one would end up with being the new hearts of 5 on playing cards.
The site works fine and indeed those are some interesting products. But as as far as I can tell the physical self destruction is accomplished by sending an over-current charge to a flash drive (SSD) and they have no spinning disk drives that physically self destruct. So how flawed the assumption were is dependent on which type of storage media we discuss. But for obvious reasons both explosives as suggested in the post I replied to and thermite as I suggested have some serious inherent risk factors so those are best left in the realm of Hollywood;-)
Or place a small explosive charge within the drive itself that will be triggered unless an authorised command is sent. (yes, it can be done).
I doubt that a explosive charge that small could guarantee a destruction of the hard drive that is rules out forensic recovery of at least part of the data. Now thermite neatly wrapped around the hard drive burning at 2400 C now that would leave nothing left to work with unless there is a way to physically rebuild a hard drive from a smoldering pile of molten metal, plastic and cement. Though I have to admit to being paranoid I am also far too attached to my genitals for ever even considering rigging such a thing in my laptop, and so should everyone else be with the exception of aspiring Darwin award winners
Until the vatican can admit that priests molested children, and that they were complicit in those behaviours, frankly I don't give a flying fuck about the catacombs or anything else related to Catholicism.
That is your loss, despite all the atrocities caused by and within religion, the Vatican is well worth a visit just to marvel at the amazing artworks and architecture that it contains, and if you are so inclined to get filled with disgust over the massive amounts of wealth that have been spent in the name of some bearded dude in the sky.
That you now can "visit" a tiny part of it without lining the pockets of the Catholic church is in my opinion a win, win situation. For added realism fill a jar with some soil from a cellar to sniff during your virtual tour.

Isn't it 'Langley'?
As far as I know it's neither. Langley, Virginia is where the CIA HQ are located while NSA have their HQ in Fort Meade, Maryland.

Then what would you call it?
Covert Operation Collecting Knowledge, or COCK for short? Which clearly would not be the same as spying.
> European Government actually does something about patent trolls. Yeah, right. A warning carries a lot of weight.
Do you mean "warnings" such as when the European Patent office revoked the Nespresso coffee pod patent?

and now that the society's figurative anus is stretched enough they can drop the lube and start the main act.
Wow, did you just call society as a whole Goatse? Now that's a bit harsh!

not truthfully responding to such questions
So I shouldn't let on that I have contracted cold fjord to secure all my data?
You must be new here.
No-one has patented the 'rectangle' as a design element, nor could they..
Really? https://www.google.com/patents/USD670286?dq=apple+rectangle&hl=en&sa=X&ei=yqqOUvetHuKyiAem5YGYAQ&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAA
Irrelevant as routinely patent reviewers fail in identifying the lack of "novel" and "obvious" when approving patent applications.
I did go there last december and had to pay an admission fee. I cannot remember what the fee were, but now the full admission ticket is 16 euro. http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/z-Info/MV_Info_Orari.html

Nope, from a South Korean company. None of them have any scruples.
Unlike fine reputable American institutions such as Lehman Brothers, Exxon and Blackwater?
Whats this? Cold Fjord dressing up as a sheep?
Not at all, it is cold fjord trying to divert the topic from NSA to IRS.
