So what? If NY Times can get a "scoop" on anything that bloggers can't immediately get a hold of, then it's a win-win, for them as well as public.. It is easy to shut down a blogger or even someone like Assange. NY Times is different ballgame.
You're right, it is a new ball game, the NYT can sanitize the "leaks" thereby allowing business as usual. The NYT is nothing more than a propaganda machine using Himmler's techniques more effectively.
You'd have to lob off a pretty large chunk of the moon to do any damage to something on earth, at least on the scale you're speaking of. The atmosphere would eat a lot of what you throw at it on entry.
Not really, just start throwing rocks and don't stop until a white flag is raised, then throw some more for good measure. He who holds the high ground has only to drop rocks.

You're retarded if you think Reagan's economic policy was sane or sustainable.
Ronnie the Raygun was a two bit actor and a two bit president. The greatest secret of the Reagan presidency was that he had Alzheimers and this gave King George the 1st two extra terms of control and power that we are just realizing what a mess it has created.

Another knee jerk extreme right winger who has no idea what a Ponzi scheme is, nor how social security works.
Really...I am 15 years from retirement with 65+ quarters earned. I am of the opinion that I will not see a penny of it. I served my country honorably during a time when the military was looked down upon. Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris
A million bucks worth of kit, smuggled out in a "small bag?!"
I'm guessing they are using 'cop math'.
My bet : they calculated that the small kit can be reproduced and / or reverse engineered, and the resulting copies will result in an overall loss to the original company over the sales life of the product, equaling one million dollars in losses.
Cop math? I was thinking RIAA math.
I was thinking more like Bernie Madoff math or Enron math.
Insurance companies make their money from investments, actuaries determine the average life span of the average insured individual, the numbers are then adjusted to ensure the underwriters profit from healthy people and they drop the others. Regardless of how many quarters you complete, if you die before your retirement, your heirs receive $255. Period. Don't forget the greed and corruption tax. Don't forget the politicians who serve one or more terms that get benefits for life as well as health coverage. I was taught that you lead by example, these politicians lead a fine example. People are suffering in this country and around the world. If America isn't at least partially responsible, then who is? Is this the reason why people around the world appear to hate our guts? Or is this a figment of my imagination?
Sure, as long as politicians submit to tests assessing their sanity, compassion. rationality and penchant to accumulate power and trample civil rights.
Sure as long as these same politicians submit random drug and alcohol testing by an independent testing lab as well as public disclosure of their voting compared to their promises, disclosure of all banking accounts, disclosure of all relationships with members that are being regulated by the congress and let's not forget about attendance. Most of the above mentioned requirements are made of every employed person, those that are not, are necessary due to the position of power these people have.

Same old promises from about 50,000 years BCE.
Out-educate, out-innovate, out-blah blah blah, this obviously goes with out-source.
Razing a whole town is so 1945?
Tell that to Grozny.
Tell that to Saigon.

Where's RIAA when you really need them?
Actions speak louder than words. The actions taken by government for the last twenty years show the American people are not of interest.
This is why these silly "tablets" will never displace desktops or even netbooks.
This is yet another reason you need your hands free to manipulate other interfaces while computing.
That is correct, they will not displace desktops, they will be the desktop.
"If you think Playboy is porn, you really need to get out of the basement. Playboy is to porn what Disneyworld is to authenticity."
Yeah..wondering when magazines with more..ahem...'gynecological' images will be allowed on the iPad?
I wonder if Hustler's Barely Legal will get on there next?
It gives new meaning to iPad.
...for the articles.
The subscription comes with a waterproof cover for the Ipad. Just in case you find the pictures, well, interesting.
iPad condoms? eewww!
Maybe we could send them to China as medium size.

They told me it was for the articles.
Corning has had a similar material for decades, they just didn't know what to do with it .
Other people have to pay more than their fair share in taxes to compensate.
Taxes have no meaning when paid by worthless paper.
Once again, in trying to improve government, they'll only make it more ineffective
Attempting to make sure their crimes and schemes go unnoticed is NOT an improvement to government.
Of course it is, the Executive Orders are coming hard and fast. Who says your rights are not being trampled?
Wait... what? There are articles?
I once saw this on Star Trek (TOS). We won.
At least if the aliens invaded France instead of the US they'd have a chance of finding some edible food and genuine culture.
Yeah right, snails, brie and a Chinese made pyramid.

It isn't sinister, that is just the way the world works, no Nazis or Communists needed.
Apparently that is news to you.
Would nefarious industrialists and sinister bankers work for you?
The problem with that is after you've invaded France, it's still France.
C'est la guerre!

Nonsense. During the Cold War it was standard to brief military and government employees to be wary of espionage attempts and trust no one.
If there is anything the internet age should reaffirm about security, it's that trust is naive and stupid, not admirable.
The same thing happened in Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, so what else nis new?
Just how many people work in the SS bureaucracy anyway?
What a trip, unemployment people on unemployment, who will they get to screw them on their entitlements?
