Personally, I really hate garbage collection as a paradigm
Yeah, We all absolutely love languages which buffer overflow and reference dangling pointers.
It claims to be optional, but isn't: as soon as you have one framework that doesn't do an explicit release of an object, your program is forever after addicted to the garbage collector, and slowly accumulates leaks which are "fixed" by the garbage collector, until what you have left is code you can't reuse without also doing garbage collection, infecting any project you bring it into.
Addicted like programmers are addicted to a file system? You can always manage your data on the raw disk blocks directly if you want.
Does it really matter whom you upload your private data to? Once it is out of your hands, it does not matter if it is with google, facebook, yahoo or msn
To flip this around, if someone committed a premeditated violent crime that they are sentenced to jail for 20 years, I wouldn't expect them to reduce the sentence for a 70 year old because "20 years might be all he's got left, it's a life sentence" vs. the 25 year old who committed the same crime.
Old age is considered all the time in parole hearings.
Also, if you think $1.5x10^6 is an appropriate fine for a middle class fellow, why is that the upper class never gets fined for robbing the middle class of money to the tune of 10^12? If you are fine with that double standard, then you can blow me.
As soon as a prepubescent child popped up on the screen, I would whip out my camera, gather evidence and then arrest the "viewer" or "viewers" for viewing kiddy porn.
Government can exempt itself off the laws whenever it wants. UK and US governments have alread proved this.

And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. - V
If there weren't people in the open source movement who had a vision for its future (think RMS style 'leaders') then where would it aim?
Visionaries like RMS and Bruce Perens are/were great coders. So thanks, but We need more Karl Sims and Steve Wozniaks, and not more Camerons and Steve Jobs.
Oh c'mon... they never heard of photoshop? Either they don't have the document, or they figure it's not worth their time to make the watermark illegible.
The real question here should be where's the original document and why is the Administration hiding behind 'National security' to avoid releasing it. I've had enough of that over the previous 8 years. Change!
Surely such a question can be asked. But only when democrat dogs stop chasing republican tails, and the republican dogs stop chasing democrat tails. Oh yes, bitter I am.
So where is this "leaked document" that the summary alludes to?
To quote from Geist's blog:
selected groups granted access under strict non-disclosure agreements and other countries (including Canada) given physical, watermarked copies designed to guard against leaks.
I hope that answers your question. Unless you want to out the person leaking this document, he can't ever publish a photocopy of it as it will be traced back to him.
And if you think such deception is beyond our autocrats, read up on this and this
We have, ourselves, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Internets, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
Even though large parts of Internets and many old and famous trackers have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Ifpi and all the odious apparatus of MPAA rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the ef-nets and darknets, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Internets, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the baywords.org, we shall fight on the/. and on the digg, we shall fight in the courts; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, the Internets or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Anon Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in Cerf’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Less than a month into her run, Lapierre suddenly encountered serious problems. She was twice forcibly French-kissed by the Russian team commander, and soon afterwards witnessed a 10-minute-long fight between two Russians that left blood spattered on the walls.
She insisted that the controversial kisses were not merely “friendly celebrations” and that she had vigorously told the Russian to back off. She quoted him as saying, "We should try kissing, I haven't been smoking for six months. Then we can kiss after the mission and compare it. Let's do the experiment now."
Lapierre dismissed the notion that the Russian thought his actions were normal and acceptable. "Why did he try to pull me out of sight of the camera?" she asked.
When Lapierre's team first entered the modules, Dr. Valery Gushin, the scientific coordinator of the project, voiced attitude that in hindsight could have been seen as warnings about the problem. "Men, they have some expectations from women," he told a Canadian television team. "They want them to be more like women, not just partners. At least Russians do."
Following the incident, Gushin blamed Lapierre. His official report, which Lapierre has seen, saud she had "ruined the mission, the atmosphere, by refusing to be kissed." She should have been taken out, he wrote, and he also insisted that the foreigners had caused the fight.

Well...., it depends on how thinly we spread 8.438 petabytes.

You'll certainly not be buying any electronics without Chinese-made components.
You forget Taiwan and South korean manufaturers.
Typical French petulance to take insult at a joke that is not particularly derogatory towards France, while weakly labeling it as right-wing!
Yeah, so unlike the fascists blowing Osama Bin Laden to keep their oil supply flowing over the bodies of 1000s of 9/11 victims.
The very first mission is a boss fight :(
Given that this is good news for feminism, I don't see anything being done to correct this.
And oh yeah, I submitted the same story few week back.
Does this mean "priv" is exempt from this patent?
How much money can you spare for getting justice?
Because "nothing happened today" will become dupe soonish?

Robust watermarks are difficult to get rid of. small example based on decade old research
But these are drafts. Not the final legal documents.

You can encode the document and its signature into a barcode. And you can do it today, very cheaply.
