Open source has another meaning in the intelligence community. Open source refers to unclassified information, such as the internet, newspapers, and other media. It's used as opposed to signals intelligence (SIGINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), etc. Often referred to as Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
That might make sense for servers connected to the internet, not so much for the other 36 or so intranets that DIA alone manages, like SIPRNET, JWICS, etc.
AMHS is not a code name either. It's Automated Message Handling System, a common tool analysts of many kinds use throughout the community (IAA Intelligence Analyst). Intelink is just a website with various tools and info. Kind of silly to list it, IMHO, because everyone should be familiar with it. Job descriptions frequently list tools candidates are expected to use. My resume includes perhaps two dozen. I recognize a few of those names. The name by itself is unclassified. What it does is not. There's nothing wrong with listing them on a job description as long as you don't explain what they do.
Calling it metadata isn't what's hiding a massive unconstitutional collection of personal information. It's not like the government has been forthcoming on everything except that it used one word you find misleading. It's the appropriate term in this context in this industry. Complaining that you use it slightly differently in your line of work won't change anything.
Oh boy. Same thing applies to them too. The data in text messages is the content, what was said. The "data" on data connections is what what downloaded and uploaded. Metadata is the date, time, location, etc. In the intel world, we call it internals and externals. Internals is what was said. Externals is everything else.
Nope. It's metadata only in very specific reference to phone calls.
Which would be the case here, right? Talking about phone calls and all?
When they say they're only collecting "metadata, not the calls themselves," they're being deliberately, disingenuously, misleading.
So by using the appropriate term for that industry, they're being misleading? Metadata of phone calls has huge privacy implications. I get it. In fact, I work in the intelligence community so I know quite a bit about this. And I don't condone or support warrantless wiretapping, violating 4th amendment rights, etc. But don't get bent out of shape because they're using the appropriate term for that industry.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms. Oh, I'll come in again.
I don't know what you see in your browser, but I don't see News for Nerds or Stuff That Matters anywhere on the slashdot page. They took that down quite a while ago from what I understand.
Wow, that's great. Thanks so much. I'll let you in on another little secret: Not everyone in a group is the same, nor does everyone have the same agenda. That's called Presumption of Unitary Action by an Organization.
Yeah, and don't appear in any photos so people can't tag you on Facebook while you're at it. Most of your personal data out there was uploaded and maintained by someone else.

Does it sync with Mac OSX Contacts and Calendar?
lolwut?
Though at least they may have better reading ability than you. TFS says Los Angeles.
You're both wrong. It's the Medic Droid.

I like quoting myself too.

That depends on how many years your falcon has. Decade Falcons take goddamn forever.
That's impossible. It's too small to be a space station.
Same, but with Lubuntu instead.
You can't repell tinfoil-hattery of that magnitude!
Presumably, then, the artist formerly known as Prince would be unaffected in this scenario.

Data in this case would be the content of the calls, as in what was said. Metadata is the date, time, location, panel number, frequency, etc.
Which explains the quotes around it.
Funny, I read it as "Microsoft Turing Fords Kelp Detriment Affection of Antimatter" but I didn't want to bore anyone with my lack of reading ability.
I would like to know 2 things:
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms. Oh, I'll come in again.
Seriously though, 1 question per post, dude.

this is supposed to be 'news for nerds'
Where does it say that?
I'll let you in on a little secret
