" And the most worrisome attack on national security and counter intelligence agencies is the idea that the US should extend the protections of the Constitution and Bill of Rights to foreigners operating internationally or domestically."
Fucking aye right we should extend these to foreigners. The bill of rights is a basic template of right that all human beings should have not just citizens. How can we be any kind of example if we say "Nope, you're French so no freedom of speech for you." or "Nope, you are here on a visa so you don't have "habeas corpus" right so we can imprison forever without redress."
Nothing in the Bill of Rights inherently limits these rights to only US citizens.
Tried in the 90s and was working until the government suddenly allowed the giant mergers of the large ISPs that owned the local loop and then stopped mandating that the smaller ISPs be allowed non-discriminatory access to the last mile.
It you download from a third party server who's owner has it throttled to 1Mb/s per connection you're never going to get anything but 1Mb/s out of it. You might have a 100Mb/s ISP connection but it doesn't make any difference if the server is implementing throttling. Many people do not understand this and complain to their ISPs about slow download speeds.
You sir are correct, BUT I should be able to access third-party speed check sites AKA Speedtest.net and see a speed that is within 10% of my advertised rate. I spent six months trying to convince CenturyLink there was a problem with I was receiving a max of 1.5 mb when I was being billed for 10mb. They tried to claim congestion on the network, if true they needed to upgrade their backhaul to eliminate the congestion and provide me with something close to the 10mb I was paying for.
Or the various municipalities should be ensuring that "franchise" license agreements aren't screwing over their customers. All it would take is some large enough subset of municipalities to include net neutrality clauses to ensure that customers aren't getting defrauded.
Won't work, the ISPs will then lobby the state governments to make net neutrality clauses illegal. Just like they have lobbied state governments to make municipal ISPs illegal.
Again no rights are being created, they already exist. Yes it should beup to the states to recognize the rights and but when the states fail to protect the rights of citizens, for example equal schools, then the federal government has the obligation to step in an protect the citizens rights when the state fails or refuses to do so.
Same Sex Marriage was always a right, whether or not it was enumerated in the constitution. The only problem was a failure of the state to protect the rights of ALL its citizens. The federal government recognized the failure of the states and stepped in.
That is unless you believe that that President Eisenhower had no constitutional right to enforce the desegregation orders during the 50's.
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Seems like the founder already took care of this one. Many rights exist that are not specifically enumerated in the constitution and the courts are free to find those right violated. Unfortunately strict originalists like Scalia forget about the Ninth Amendment when they want to go back to what "The drafters of the Constitution wrote down" as their primary source for rulings. The Ninth basically says there is a lot of rights that we the founders haven't written down but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Now taking bets on if gigabit Ethernet will still outperform wireless in almost all use cases that don't require someone to be able to sit in their office chair with their laptop and spin continuously like this sentence...
In a home environment wireless can out perform wired as long as you don't have interference issues with your neighbors, but in an office environment where everyone connects to the same or a limited number of WAPs you have contention issues that bring the available bandwidth for each client down to less than optimal.
For a while I worked in an "open plan" office where everyone connected via wireless, many people used a tethered cell phone for access as it was SO much faster and more reliable than using the office "wi-fi" connections. The company had a screwed up infrastructure that treated every connection as external so you went through the external firewall whether using the provided wi-fi or tethered cell.
The one I see most often has a blinking envelope and tries to look like a mail notification. The other trick is to make the "Close X" button not appear for a few seconds or make the actual button smaller than the X so you open the App store instead of closing the Ad.
BS, the reason most offices implement the shred everything rule is so that the employees don't have to make a decision about whether or not something meets the "Shred This" criteria. Better safe than sorry.
Really well, your friends/family tell their client to trust your CA by installing the root certificate you provide and boom you are good to go.
Sure you need to paranoid to the extreme to establish a CA for use on your home network but then self-signed certificate on a home network shouldn't really be an issue either. Again with a self-signed certificate on your home LAN you don't need to trust an outside agency at all. Trusting a self-signed certificate the first time you encounter it is no more dangerous than trusting a signature the first time you SSH into a device. You initiate the connection to a known device.
Establish your own CA on the internal TLD, trust your own CA on the test network and use certificates issued by that CA for testing. Eliminates self-signed certificates.
That 240Z was pretty damned cramped too. I used to own an Opel GT, now own an S2000, same interior volume but the exterior of that GT was so much smaller. Reason why? Mostly safety, crumple zones, airbags, reinforced doors.... Crash in the GT or 240Z and you die, same crash in the S2000 and I walk away.
Insightful and wrong. I work on a daily basis with 20 somethings supporting multiple networks and I definitely new less about this shit at the same age.
The problem is the one-size fits all mentality, 5" phone screen to 28" QuadHD monitor. The motto should be fit for purpose.
Maybe, but we can't even get decent speeds to areas with a much higher population density.
Explain to me why 10 miles outside Colorado Springs all we can get is 10/1 DSL or most of Wisconsin outside the cities is in the same boat? FYI the area I live in outside Colorado Springs had a old style rural telephone company that was laying fiber and upgrading the infrastructure until CenturyLink bought them and stopped all infrastructure upgrades and went to charging us for $60 a month and 10/1 advertised that delivers about 2.5/.5 between 6:00PM and midnight. No other provider available.
The population density argument MAY be valid for portions of the US but not for anywhere east of the Mississippi River or the larger cities in the west.
AKA Cingular, Cingular bought ATT wireless and the ATT name then promptly changed their name to ATT because Cingular had the absolutely worst reputation for customer service. Unfortunately they continued that level of customer service after the name change.
My kingdom for mod points. This is what all those conservatives are missing, we had the opportunity to dominate the technology and production of solar panels and blew it because of our unwillingness to invest the dollars.
While you are at it don't forget to cut the Coal, NG and Oil subsidies. Or maybe you don't think having a Navy to keep the Straits of Hormuz open is a subsidy for the Oil Companies.
Lots of politicians never run for any elected office. Any General Officer got there by being a pretty damn good politician, the officers that aren't good politicians never make it past LT Colonel.
If you hold an elected office then you are an Incumbent.

Because that requires me to trust an external agency. Anytime you trust an external agency you introduce some element of risk, however small.
Establish your own CA and issue internal certificate for devices that you don't expose to the Internet. Trust the CA internally.
So that clutch that needs replacing at the tune of $700-$1500 including labor isn't part of the drive train?

Good headphones and work just the way you describe with excellent Noice Cancelling also.

Global warming on not, the radiation present in the fly ash and the mercury that goes out the smokestack are sufficient reasons to stop using coal.
Not to mention what coal mining does to the rivers and mountains in the areas that it is mined.
