Between now and January 1st (IMHO) the complete "Clover Trail" API will (almost) certainly have been disclosed/reverse engineered by somebody, somewhere.
" Assuming they're willing to nuke their own back yard."
Yes they are, it was created in the 1950's to thwart a possible Soviet "invasion", it was and still is called "the garden plot" a plan to nuke American territory if it fell into enemy hands, Johnson considered using it if the countries violent riots turned into full scale revolution.
"They" didn't "get sloppy", this kid, like so many others shoot off their mouths, brag and call attention to themselves! "Anonymous" "LulzSec"
Anybody who is STUPID ENOUGH to self identify as a "member" IS, without any organizational structure whatsoever automatically a "member"!
And because anybody who wants that kind of attention will undoubtedly have somthing that the blank faced automatons in the "justice" dept could label as "criminal" your self destructive desire for attention will be fulfilled!
And the pen of today is the PC, the evil empire fears the computer more than they fear guns, bombs or riots! "They" can crush any armed resistance like swatting a fly, "they" can subvert, obfuscate, terrorize, propagandize, manipulate the uninformed population with a constant stream of artfully crafted disinformation! Creating "Dire emergencies", "deadly boogimen", one "crisis" after another, thereby keeping the unsophisticated, sufficiently frightened and therefor easily controllable! The PC and the Internet allows the average person the ability to do an "end run" around all the lies, fabrication and propaganda being spewed by the government/corporate controlled media.
Without open source software and a free and public Internet, REAL, open, barefaced, undisguised, tyranny would already be here.
So after the plastic mannequins posing as managers discovered that "Lye-nux" was in use by some enterprise that they read about in some shiny trade publication and was therefor "sexy", I was anointed "project leader" to build and configure a mail server and a separate file server.
I used retired machines (lots to choose from), (if I remember correctly) a Slackware 6 CD, and did what they wanted, when I was called into a meeting and asked how much I would need to buy the equipment and software I told them that it was done and ready to begin testing whenever they wanted.
This really pissed them off, (not to have to spend huge sums of money) they felt cheated somehow and after I had successfully demonstrated that the setups I created worked reliably management decided to scrap "Lye-nux" and spend $500,000 on high end Sun equipment instead!
Between a lying, two-faced, hypocritical tyrant wannabe and a lying two-faced, hypocritical, predatory mega millionaire either one of which will say absolutely anything to get elected!
Oh wait! there ARE "OTHER" candidates and political parties, all of which have been systematically ignored by the corporate media and excluded from any presidential debate!
Assuming ANY presidential election isn't rigged and assuming that your vote matters (BIG ASSUMPTION) vote you conscience, but keep both eyes open!
Helping an old friend set up her new PC (an HP with Windows 7) and finding that I could not do things that I take for granted (file operations) and that I was precluded from making any meaningful changes. I just transferred her files installed Firefox and OpenOffice.org and threw in the towel! If Windows 8 is even worse, I'm not going to touch it either.
And Mothers against Gay Marriage, Hillbillies for (foreign religious book that starts with a K) burning and rednecks for capital punishment! And the Flat Earth Society!
The Pentagon, DOD, CIA and all the "other" defense related BS that the aging, paranoid "military-industrial complex" spending is classified, the dollar figures released are for public consumption only and are a TINY fraction of the true amount! The REAL amount spent, would dwarf (IMHO) the entire remainder of the federal budget!
If the USofA spent the same percentage of it's budget on all the above as China or Europe, not only would their be NO DEBT, the federal coffers would be busting at the seams with money for roads, bridges, waterworks, infrastructure, environmental clean up, etc, etc, etc.
BUT as the defense industry is so very generous to our whores in Washington, we can reliably expect to be at war for the foreseeable future!
So you want to help them (Big Brother) spy on you even more than they already are? Nothing is what it seems, think (we are only killing you for your own good), as a simile.
The "extinction level event" will be a 1. Government gone mad (see Germany 1936) 2. A total world banking breakdown (see 1929) 3 A man made environmental collapse (see A Path Where No Man Thought by Cal Sagan/Richard Turco & other similar books).
You need A remote hiding place A deep water well Firewood/seeds Cached supplies (scattered/buried/hidden) Gas Masks Solar Cell/Power Guns/Ammo
Data? Screw data! Food, Water, Protection, heat! AND A VERY LOW PROFILE!!
Anything the government of the USofA says, is probably (98% certainty) a lie, anything it (seems) to be doing is probably (70% certainty) a smoke screen/diversion for somthing quite different!
What happened to "closing Gitmo" or "America doesn't torture" or along a different tack "the public option" or even more to the point "occupy"?
Maybe if you're a game programmer or working for DARPA, you might need somthing other than the basic stuff taught in 1950's high school, but I worked in the computer industry for many years and really don't remember needing other than very ordinary arithmetic.
I'm pretty sure you can own semi-autos in DC. People get this confused a lot. A semi automatic gun is not an assault rifle, no matter how it looks. An assault rifle is a gun that fires more than one bullet with one pull of the trigger, i.e, machine guns. There may be a mag limit in D.C which would make it illegal if it shipped with a 30 Rd magazine. However, if he kept the gun and they found out he would have problems because guns, shipped via mail, need to be shipped to a FFL licensed dealer.
In California an "assault rifle" is a rifle with any combination of a pistol grip, removable magazine, flash hider and folding/telescoping stock, basically anything that looks "military" or "tactical"! In the USofA you CANNOT own fully automatic firearms unless they were produced prior to 1899 OR you possess a Federal Firearms License (FFL). Each state is able to have different laws regarding firearms as long a they to NOT conflict with federal law!
Everytime some whako goes nuts with firearms all the mealy mouthed whores start vying for TV time bleating about "gun control" one of these disingenuous shitpiles even went so far as to say on TV the "without a gun you can't kill people" which went unchallenged by the nodding, plastic heads in control of this broadcast. Of course I would have liked to ask about all the murdered federal employees in Oklahoma City (bomb) or the murdered commuters in Japan (poison gas) or London (backpacks) or Madrid (also backpack bombs) or the World Trade Center (Airliners)! These slimeballs know history as well as the rest of us! aside from a way to get free face time on TV and radio/print. It makes you wonder if there a greater more insidious end to the desire to disarm America, perhaps (along with) the NDAA and the patriot act it will make a disarmed American people easier to control? Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, Mao, Pinochet, Pot didn't they ALL disarm their people?
I briefly worked at a small company in Burlingame as a desktop support tech, they thought it was cool to have their support staff monitor several in house IRC chat rooms, I asked my manager how I was going to build dozens of "one of" multi-boot, Windows/Linux/FreeBSD, images on several models of Think Pad, Toshiba & Dell PC's, all the while watching the endless (mostly) nonsensical BS streaming across the screen? And (of course) I had to get up and walk over to client machines, answer calls and manage enterprise backups!
IMHO "chat" is best left to Internet predators & credit card thieves!

Why I live in the USofA, where we have lead the planet in "government for hire" for decades now!

It ALWAYS happens.
I wonder how much it cost Apple to bribe the ITC?
To say the I dislike Apple and Apple products would be a massive understatement!
Wanna bet?
And there are still millions of WingozeXP lusers that still don't want W7!
Talk to the hand, cause Elder Romney don't want to hear it!

Amazon DOES NOT SELL FIREARMS!
YOU CANNOT BUY FIREARMS THROUGH THE MAIL!
IF THIS BULLSHIT IS TRUE MANY FEDERAL LAWS WERE BROKEN!
This is a classic political BS story that would never have appeared if it was not in the wake of mass murders involving firearms!
