What is insightful about this? You haven't presented any critical examination, much less a defense, of the behaviour the GP is subjected to by you and whoever else thinks it's fine to deride a man for his beliefs. You're no better than Pat Robertson.
-From an atheist who believes in respecting other people, because not having religion doesn't mean you can't have some goddamn manners.
Except that you did get paid. The company just handed you the story, instead of cash. Real journalism (even tech journalism) is expensive. If you're not spending the time and money to actually research your story, and take your script from the company your highlighting, that's payment.
To "wipe off the map" doesn't even exist as an idiom in the Persian language.
To clarify for people who don't know what this means: in English, for example, saying somebody feels "blue" is usually taken to mean they feel sad. In German, the same expression to be "blue" means to be drunk. If you asked a German "why so blue?" when they looked sad, they'd be terribly confused. Likewise, when Ahmedi-Nejad said that the Israeli regime should be erased from the pages of history, it was obvious to everyone familiar with Persian that the Western press were mistranslating his words.
That this mistranslation has such immense propaganda value is why it is believed by skeptics of the mainstream media to be an intentional one.
"People don't wake up in the morning plotting on how to make the world a bad and miserable place to live."
You clearly haven't worked with the military. A great number of people, many in positions of power in this country, have it their personal mission to create misery for others. Usually those others are brown, or Muslim, or both, so they feel it to be justified. "Those people are *others*, they are not like us. We will hurt them, but it's for the best."
If drone aircraft had the same capabilities and cost that manned aircraft do, folks wouldn't bother to use them. UAVs in use domestically are disturbing because they provide a greater intelligence-gathering capability than regular aircraft at a much lower cost. We've reached the point in our society that making things easier for law enforcement is not to the public's benefit.

"One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition."
I don't understand how what I've written could possibly be anti-American. This is (a parody of) the mainstream mindset of American media stars and the politicians over whom they fawn.
Protip: I've been to Iraq (federal employee), and I didn't profit from it like the contractors due. What service have you given to this country that could possibly give you the right to call me anti-American?
Your comment is misleading. The phrasing you highlighted states that nothing *in that section* affects existing laws and authorities.
Section 1022 -- which covers those involved in perpetrating, supporting, or *planning* (something the DoJ might construe following cops with a UAV to be, hmmm) an attack on the United States -- however, while not requiring indefinite military detention of US citizens does not explicitly forbid it, and thus leaves it at the discretion of our administration.
This leaves it *at the sole discretion of the executive* whether to detain a US citizen on US soil without charge, indefinitely, with no account to anyone.
How absolutely ridiculous of them to ask us to apologize for committing an act of war. Hasn't anybody been paying attention? The US, and only the US, has the right to invade other countries' airspace, kidnap, torture, and murder their citizens, and then accuse those countries of breaking the law. That's how democracy works.
Those silly backward Iranians just don't get it. It must be Islam's fault.
You're right, but the subject of this story is not one of those drones. The intent of my post was more to point out that jamming modern military comms is not an exercise that can be accomplished simply by listening in for a while.
Evidently you think American engineers are idiots.
The frequency hopping patterns for drone communications are produced by a cryptographically-secure random number generator with a pre-negotiated seed. Snoop it all you like; this isn't your neighbor with unsecured wifi, it's your neighbor with AES512 and a fifty-word passphrase surfing over a VPN tunnel.
after Iraq any country in that area that didn't kiss the US bankster and military ass would be nuts NOT to want a bomb, as its the only way to keep the warmongers in the halls of power from running you down.
This. The US has Iran surrounded with occupying forces, and executes covert operations and surveillance in Iran itself and keeps the fifth fleet not a stone's throw away. With continual threats of overt military strikes from US and Israel, and a covert war against Iran already underway, it is strategically vital for them to develop a nuclear capability to deter their aggressive, pre-emptive war-starting neighbors.
Yes, I'm sure that if another country overthrew our democratically-elected government and installed a dictator, our subsequent revolutionaries wouldn't storm that country's embassy and take hostages. No, sir.
I wager we'd probably simply kill them all.
Jesus GOD mod parent up! Remember when security progressives realized that security is a cost vs. effort equation? That applies to hardware destruction. It's not fucking worth it. How many assholes with a grudge do you think actually have an electron microscope and enough hatred for you to want to use it just to get your company's expense reports? Get off the ego trip, buy a degaussing wand (what the DoD uses, btw) and take off the damned tinfoil hat.
Separate processes for tabs is the reason for me. When some bullshit crashes which, as a reverse engineer, happens to me fairly often, it doesn't take all of my tabs with it. Even if you took out all other factors Chrome would win for me on this point alone.
This is actually the plot behind the pilot of Aeon Flux. The story takes place in Bregna, a country recently taken over in a coup and turned into an authoritarian society where everyone is under constant observation, including the power elites. Of course, the leaders and the resistance both find ways of avoiding the monitoring to advance their agendas.
He's exaggerating a little bit, and you're mostly right. Mailing secret requires double wrapping, not triple wrapping, and if it's digitally-stored information it of course ought to be encrypted, but it is thereafter pretty simple to transport.
These are not intended for voice communications involving the discussion of classified material. These are only for EMAIL and for getting access to classified web sites. Additionally, they are probably talking about a JWICS-compatible phone. We already have phones that talk to SIPR, they're called SME-PEDs and they're big ugly PoS's.
Personally, I think they're a terrible idea. Not because there's any realistic threat of shoulder surfing, but because it brings us down to the level of all the other corporate plebs who have to answer their email wherever they are. And these phones aren't cheap. No sir.
