I think it is great to question Schneier, for the same reason we do security audits. You need to examine your trust anchors from time to time. So for Schneier, we ask ourselves a simple question, is the advice sound? The idea that the math is sound, but the implementations are broken has been a constant refrain from everyone for decades. There would be no benefit to paying or threatening Schneier to make him say that, as it has been his refrain for ages. Tomorrow the people in the field with the skills to attack the math will do so, just as they were doing a year ago. The people with the skills to attack the implementations will do so like they did a year ago, but with a few more obvious targets. We'll all continue to harden our security the same way we have for ages, by assuming that there is a flaw and that it must be found.
Damn right real men aren't afraid to order fruity drinks because they taste good, they are afraid because those things bring a nasty hang over with them.
Henry Bessemer revolutionized a bunch of industries. Andrew Carnegie was less revolutionary. Walk out in the street nearest you and ask which one people are familiar with.
Even if a majority of p2p traffic is legitimate, some is copyright infringement. More legal sources for the content that would be pirated would lead to a decline in overall p2p.
The reason people are suspicious is that a group with a bad track record is encouraging something dangerous. Sure the Chinese, the Iranians, hell the Canadians are looking to access systems in the US, but that isn't a reason to trust DHS. What we know about this one incident is that DHS made a rather unorthodox request.
Centralia is only the best known coal fire in the US. Some are not mine related, some like Laurel run PA are. Centralia is a mix. The fire was started at a landfill, but that landfill was located in an abandonded strip mine. The natural coal seam wouldn't have been near the surface had it not been for the mine.
Twenty years ago the Republican nominee was a Title X sponsor. One of his major campaign themes was no new taxes. You really need to pick a different time frame if you want Santorum to look like a viable candidate.
I doubt books from the 1940s or 70s have anything to say on whether a specific recent increase in earthquakes is fracking related. Sure we've known that it was related in other situations, but this one is a new incident worthy of study on its own.
I seem to recall a Google study that said almost the opposite. It points to a small spike increase in death rates in the first few months, then a drop, followed by a continued climb. Their references also point to issues with specific types of drives, though I haven't read it and can't speak to the results.

It doesn't produce media footage that looks bad, just people running away. Tear gas canisters pop and leave a visible war zone like haze for the cameras.
Once a month one of my clients types out an item they need printed in word, prints it out on their office printer, scans it, places the resulting image in word, and emails us the result. Included in the email are the changes they want made to the type. A small piece of my soul dies when I see that email.
When technological changes occur faster in an economy than social changes you end up with massive social disorder. That was the whole issue with the Luddites. Their way of life was being changed by new technology faster than the social structures were changing. People reacted violently. In time social structures and people's views caught up with where the economy had moved and things settled down into a new pattern for a while. We may be due for another rough transition.
The Dimora trial has been great fun. Nothing reminds you of how silly news coverage is as much as watching a puppet discuss bribery through prostitution.

Perhaps they are too close to an open flame.

Police generally don't play along with attacks currently in progress, especially when it vastly increases the chance of greater harm.
What word would you suggest in place of denial? Skeptic doesn't work, as you you don't actually react to the evidence.

Yeah, but China and Iran aren't the ones saying to let the attackers hang out for a while.
Not enough for his consistently terrible civil rights record.

I often read while walking to work. For about half o the year there is plenty of light. The other half I would appreciate a built in light.

If you think you'll make it trial after one of the riot cops starts screaming in pain you are even more of an optimist than I am.

A huge chunk of a pediatrician's patients are dependent on herd immunity. Every kid waiting for their first round of a vaccine relies on it.
They don't need to be competent, just dedicated and willing to use resources. Nothing will bring out those traits like embarrassing government agents.
