They should have leaked it in paper form to be read and stored on "human data media". It's a wee bit more difficult for governments to destroy "human data media" than hard disks.
For the moment, anyway . . .
Actually, they should have given it to my mom to read, and told her that it is secret for now, and not to tell anyone about it.
The whole world would know everything about it faster than the speed of high frequency financial trading networks.
Actually, this is the sort of love/hate behavior that Hollywood celebrities have with cameras. They love to flaunt their stuff in front of cameras . . . when invited to do so. But if you catch them not wearing their best makeup . . . they get violent. See tmz.com for examples . . . like Kayne West assaulting a cameraman in an airport.
At any rate, I wouldn't want to work for a company that had a spoiled Hollywood baby as a CEO.
Hey, if you are a big celebrity, and love the fame, deal with it.
Well, let's get all superstitious about this, and see what the Spirits of the Dead think:
A sales chick in Zurich thought that a handbag was too good for Oprah Winfrey to buy, but Oprah was able to buy "12 Surface RTs for her friends" last Christmas. And then she tweeted about it from her iPad.
. . . and hire more detectives, instead. The government doesn't need more SIGINT, they need HUMINT. Like, if Russia warns you that you have a potential terrorist living in Boston, go check him out . . . but thoroughly, please!
Start checking out places where these terrorist folks hang out . . . like radical Mosques.
Recording folks like me calling their mothers in the US from Europe is a waste of time and resources. Cut the NSA budget. Hire detectives.
That's what burns my ass when older people (not necessarily you) brag about how they went to college and paid it off with a minimum wage job back in the 1960's, when you could pay for a year's tuition with 3 week's pay; meanwhile accusing today's generation of being bad with money for not being able to do the same, even though these days it would be damn near impossible to pay for a semester's worth of education on 6 months pay at minimum wage.
When I was a lad, and went to college, I lived in a cardboard box by the side of the road . . .
Let's be real: we're only a few short years from on-windshield HUDs for navigation, driving metrics, etc.
. . . and flying cars.
There's just so much stuff that we're only a few short years from! I can hardly wait a few short years, to see what stuff that we'll be only be a few short years from, in a few short years.
The media will be hounding him. So file false reports to the press to confuse them. The more unseen he stays, the safer for him. Call your local news station, and tell them:
"I saw Snowden downtown flipping burgers next to Elvis!"
"Snowden just boarded a fishing boat in the Black Sea!"
Why should someone else be able to pick up strangers for the cost of gas?
Why shouldn't someone else be able to pick up strangers for the cost of gas?
On top of that there are vehicle licenses, inspections and higher insurance.
This adds nothing of value . . . except to the government and insurance agencies. All cars need licenses, inspections and insurance anyway. If you are using your car for professional purposes, you need to report it to your insurance company anyway.
You can't tell me that the driver does not get a few bucks for the trouble.
No, I shouldn't tell you, but the drivers should report it to the IRS as income.
The whole thing is about protecting the taxi business from competition.
Meet Lyft, A Startup Trying To Change San Francisco's Decades-Old Transportation System
n San Francisco, a hotbed of transportation innovation from ferries to cable cars to high-speed rail, the latest way to get around is sporting a giant, pink, fluffy mustache.
If you see a car with that hood decoration, you're looking at a driver for Lyft, a new app from a startup called Zimride that lets you order a car ride from one point to another on demand.
Instead of working like Uber, a similar service for professional limo drivers, Lyft has more of a community aspect, focusing on regular car owners who want to help their friends and meet new people.
Brilliant idea for a Gedankenexperiment, in the Classical Einsteinian sense of the word! Let's see if we can cast this, not in the pointer sense of the word, as a current TV reality show:
Der Führer: Barack Obama
Heinrich Himmler: Eric Holder
Adolf Eichmann: Carmen Ortiz
Josef Goebbels: Hillary Clinton
Rudolf Hess (the wacky one of the boys): Anthony Weiner

Sugar doesn't make you fat. Marriage makes you fat. Just compare the waistlines of your single and married friends to see what I mean.
Back in the 90's, the pecking order was: Sun, HP (DEC/Compaq), IBM. Now it's something like: IBM, Sun (Oracle), HP.
So I have to wonder . . . is IBM on top, because they have better technology . . . ?
. . . or . . .are Sun and HP behind, because they have crappy management . . . ?
I'm expecting the responses will be quite amusing, yet insightful.
. . . and I always thought he was CowboyNeal . . .
I personally wouldn't mind having my head in a bottle, Futurama style.
Just place my jar between Spock and Nixon, thanks.

That's an act of terror. These geese have been trained by terrorists, and should be shot.
Probably.
Maybe they should just ask Kim Dotcom for input . . . ?
The government has outsourced copyright law policy making to Hollywood.

So... what? Do you just chug it?
I believe it's intended to be administered as an enema . . .
You might be able to convince some frat boys into trying it . . . they're already doing it with alcohol.
Obama needs to stop talking about the NSA. No matter what he says, Snowden will pull out a document a few days later proving him wrong.
Instead, Obama should just stand up for his next speech or press conference . . . and just blow us all a Bronx Cheer.
It sure sounds like Microsoft wants to be like Big Blue
It sure sounds like Microsoft wants to be like anybody else, other than Microsoft.
. . . more like Apple, etc . . .

The FSB and SVR, the artists formally known as KGB, have limited resources. They are used to going after those that they evalutate as threats.
The NSA has unlimited resources. The NSA just goes after everybody. They can afford to skip the evaluation phase.
Well, let's get all superstitious about this, and see what the Spirits of the Dead think:
A sales chick in Zurich thought that a handbag was too good for Oprah Winfrey to buy, but Oprah was able to buy "12 Surface RTs for her friends" last Christmas. And then she tweeted about it from her iPad.
The Spirits of the Dead have spoken.
. . . and . . . RT is a bad choice of a name. IBM didn't have any luck with their RT PC either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_PC
The Spirits of the Dead frown dolefully on that puny, cursed name.
I'm not one of those "Obama was born in Kenya, so he isn't American!" wackos . . . but . . .
Judging by his recent actions . . . "I don't think that Mr. Obama is a patriot."
Can we fire 90% of the NSA?
. . . and hire more detectives, instead. The government doesn't need more SIGINT, they need HUMINT. Like, if Russia warns you that you have a potential terrorist living in Boston, go check him out . . . but thoroughly, please!

Posting to undo false mod. Actually, I like the idea . . .
OHHHHH. Those kinds of pupils!
Not bad, but I wacky-parsed it as, "Paralyzed Patients "Speak" With Their Pubes"
. . . whatever images that may conjure up for you . . .
It's a pity that the Surface can't act as a monitor/input device
. . . why can't it . . . albeit, with a hard hack . . . ?
When the price goes down to $99.95, I might buy one as a monitor for my Raspberry Pi.
This has been done before: http://www.amazon.com/Drunken-Goldfish-Irrelevant-Scientific-Research/dp/044921804X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375482232&sr=8-1&keywords=drunken+goldfish

Let's all help keep Snowden out of sight.
