But then you would be flooded with warning messages for some legacy system. Some would be bugs, some exploits and most would be deliberate attempts by programmers showing how clever they are.
If your company tries this then just leave. This happened to a friend of mine; his company tried to crack down on telecommuters and they lost critical employees.
As far back as 9/11, terrorists did not use email or cellphones, and they are even less likely to do so now. No, this surveillance is directed at the common citizen.
Why the hell should I have to pay to be spied on? This "service" should be free?
How about some price competition? I pay $50+ a month for slow service with Comcast.
It would be hard to believe that their long track record of cost-cutting employee moves and incompetence will be reversed in few months. When I was at college, we could not believe the dregs they send in for network work.
The real science is done with robots.
Manned spaceflight is just pork for Houston and its contractor. It is all show and nobody cares anymore. The Space Launch System (SLS) has been called the Rocket to Nowhere sine it has no mission; it is just there to create pork for Houston.
The real science takes place at NASA/JPL and their robotic missions.
What really sucks is that Houston is continually poaching funds from JPL to fund their pointless manned pork; JPL's planetary missions are in grave danger. The two agencies should be split so that NASA cannot steal from JPL.
Before this ridiculous mission gets off the ground, the moon need to be thoroughly investigated by robots that have been thoroughly scrubbed of bugs that could reproduce and contaminate Europa and drive any exiting life to extinction. It is almost, but not quite, impossible to do this with a an unmanned mission and totally impossible with a manned mission, even if the astro-idiots die of radiation poisoning on the way...

As if the internet surveillance is not enough, most cities now have networks of microphones so that Big Brother can listen in.
The same idiots who pushed C++ on us hate Java because it is not verbose and not "powerful"--i.e. it is easy to use and safe.

Aliens as in Chinese, yes. Microsoft was another possible enemy of Linux...
I am sick of being at the mercy of managerial whim and fashion.

Any saving is not being passed on to the consumer...
How can you pour billions into making an artificial brain when no one knows how the brain works in the first place?
Which Hunt is that? 1984 is alive and well in China.
Right out of 1984

They have been waiting for this...now it will be played up ad nauseum
The bigger the company, more likely it is to be run by accountants. And they hate paying top dollar for computer geeks.
When ISON orbit was first calculated, it was thought that it could hit Mars. I guess that is no longer the case, eh?
He is just a figurehead. All he does is try to smooth out controversies and keep the status quo.
Once it is gone, it is irrevocably gone. We should be a LOT more careful with this resource.

Why didn't the consumers see any of this? My rates keep going up, up, up....
This is just to facilitate spying. A great way to see who is visiting which sites.
Here is an easy way for the hacks in the government to raise money and create US jobs; an outsource tariff...

The problem is that the Dept. of Energy, although hugely wasteful, cannot "afford" to make plutonium for NASA/JPL. Yet another way this and previous admin is trying to gut planetary science: http://www.planetary.org/blogs/casey-dreier/2013/20130913-the-doe-is-full-of-wasteful-spending-but-forbidden-to-help-nasa-make-plutonium-for-space-missions.html
