The reason the US lost in Vietnam is because they fought a purely defensive war. They never invaded North Vietnam and never carpet bombed their cities. The communists historically don't care about civilian casualties, but if the Americans had poisoned the rice fields and destroyed the bridges and roads it would have made it impossible to feed their soldiers in the field. China simply didn't have the spare food to give them.
During the Korean war about a 100,000 Chinese soldiers attacked 2,000 soldiers from Australia and Canada in the battle of Kapyong and were stopped. Of course that was a defensive battle not an allied invasion of China- and fighting defensively gives a huge boost. We'd not get the same result if we invaded. There is more to war than just numbers of men, aircraft, ships and tanks.
Life, liberty, and property? So the no-fly list is unconstitutional because it takes away your liberty, right? I'm pretty sure getting accused in secret doesn't count as due process of law.
"A" players tend to be poor team players, and "A" players need a lower paid support crew to do the simple stuff while they concentrate on the big picture. If you eliminate all the "B" players you force your highly paid "A" players to waste their expensive time doing stupid stuff- causing frustration and staff turnover.
Job security is a benefit, and when you take away a benefit from a job the employee will demand more pay to offset the loss. So all Netflix employees are more expensive. As they get older and married with kids, job offers from other companies will gain in value to Netflix employees, until eventually they will leave.
So what prevents the government of Italy from mandating the removal of all Google adds from web pages in their country? Simply tell Italian companies if they want to advertise, you advertise here or your customers won't see your adds. It's not like people use HTTPS, now is it?
Lowering your taxes means your workers take up the burden and therefore cost more than workers in the third world. The only way you can lower corporate taxes without making your workers more expensive is by eliminating all government spending on things like education, medicare, and infrastructure. And if you do that the corporations won't want to be there because they would have to supply all the infrastructure at their own cost.
If people in Italy are paying money for something, then the income comes from Italy and should be taxed in Italy as income. If Italian products are being advertised to Italians, then the service tax on the adds should be paid to the Italian government. We need to very carefully define where things are happening on the internet, there is a lot at stake for the world. Also it should not be legal for companies to put a clause in their EULA selecting a legal jurisdiction of their choice, when neither the customer nor the company are actually doing anything in that jurisdiction.
Given how extensively the NSA has been working to see everything, we should assume that TOR has been compromised. If you want real privacy, roll your own (hardware and software).
The amount of work required to install a back-door in the chip sets for all commodity network gear is low enough in comparison to the payoff that you can assume it has already been done. Why go to the trouble of hacking every OS in existence when your "modified" network card can just access the memory and HDD and send you the data?
It is of immense importance that we figure out how to secure the NSA computers, as once we know how to keep the Snowdens out of the NSA computers, then we can keep the NSA out of ours.
If you convert the video to license plate numbers (OCR) then you can put that in a database with the time. This allows searching for cars easily and quickly, and allows you to work out the probable route the car used.
The US was founded by multi-national corporations that objected to being told by the king of England to start paying taxes like everyone else. A country founded by the rich, for the rich, works ok so long as the rich care about the country (and there is evidence that was true). Based on more recent actions that no longer appears to be a common characteristic of the American rich.
Now we get to find out if their terms of service "contract" is legally able to force a change of venue to California, for actions that occurred in England.
Communications of less than 60 Americans- I think corporations are people in the USA, so that makes everything on AT&T's network the communications of 1 person. How many corporations run phone service in the USA?
A good point. And how do we know American corporations don't sell their customers data to foreign governments? If legality isn't an issue, then why not maximize profits by selling the USA out to Germany or Iran?
The senior employees at a company tend to share the same views and opinions. It's not unreasonable to expect the Republicans and Democrats to share views and opinions, as they both work for the same employer (the rich, not the voters).

hydro-electric works rather well for that. You pump water into the upper reservoir during the day and use that to run the generators at night.

None of those abducted and held in Gitmo have ever been convicted in a trial, not even the ones with US citizenship.

Isn't the life support part of the suit in the backpack? Why can't they just unbolt that to replace and keep the rest of the suit intact?
most modern IC's are designed in the USA. Either it's an American chip or a china copy of one.
I don't recognize your sig quote, but the math is wrong. 6x9=54.

Given the resources the NSA has, I think you can assume that any crypto they allow to exist must be back-door'd.

Is it legal for the NSA to directly undermine the national security of the USA?

Our moon would be ideal. Plenty of sunlight, plenty of metals and semiconductors, and no toxic biosphere.
