This makes it levels of magnitude easier to separate the wheat from the chaffe... just grep for secret|confidential|noforn|etc...

That's plenty of time for even the slowest moving < ENTITIES > to implement a document request system based on need to know.
It uses proven technology with an adaptation that is obvious to practicing security professionals and would significantly minimize leaks.
But, hey, its not like many security professionals are volunteering to help so long as there are variations of the (Un-)Patriot Act.

The only reasons an army helicopter should be ~500ft in a residential neighborhood is:
* it's engaged in combat in said neighborhood (during war)
* it's engaged in recon-Ops in said neighborhood (during war)
* it's landing in said neighborhood (emergency landing)
just another Whiskey Tango Foxtrot OP AFAICT.
In all likelihood, the near-near-miss probably actually happened > 500ft, but the pilot had to cover his/her ass. Someone should do a FOIA request for the flight plan to get the cruising altitude and flight path.

The Linux kernel development process is a total PITA and I don't mean in the combative, degrading and misogynistic attitudes prevalent on the mailing list. The actual process and leadership is broken.
* They keep flawed external user space APIs in place in "Major Releases" for compatibility with broken apps. Not that major releases mean anything anymore.
* They consistently and openly break internal APIs in a way that drivers will fail to compile as a way to brow-beat vendors into not shipping binary blobs.
* Linus himself has said it has become bloated and shitty (not an exact quote), but no push has been made to debloat or clean it up. The video drivers are probably the worst offenders; I ran duplo to detect code duplicates and it totally filled up my hard drive.
* How long has NTFS been around? Long enough that the internal driver ought to be able to safely write to it.
* The development process has become so segregated that there is no cross talk. For example compressed RAM, compressed SWAP and a compressed file system each expand and recompress data between each other even when they use the same compression method.
* The kernel continues to add unnecessary build requirements like bc and perl even though Rob Landley (toybox and formerly busybox maintainer) has provided several (not-accepted) patches. Add that to the insanely large repo size and you basically have to pay people to touch it now.
* Too many more reasons to mention, but it works, I use it, people use it, businesses use it and there is no real competitor at the moment to force them to compete and actually fix stuff - new features make news, cleaning up 1000 lines of duplicate code doesn't - I hope magenta inspires a 1000 paper-cuts cleanup campaign.
Alphabet* (Google) basically used linux in the beginning because that is what the android project started on and the alternatives at the time didn't have the same level of support for embedded architectures that could be used in phones and tablets. Sure, the BSDs had some support for the processors, but decent accelerated 3D graphics ruled them out (not that it is superb in Linux either). Now that they have a large market share, they can leverage that into vendor support, but since many of them don't want to open source their code and help their competitors reverse engineer the hardware that their company invested lots of time and money in, it is useful to have a relatively stable internal API that Alphabet can control without arbitrarily being overruled because some old IBM mainframe still uses that bug/feature.
-- Yes I said Linux without the GNU --- musl-libc, toybox, jwm, X11 and st is all you need for a basic desktop system
I resorted to disabling svchost.exe from accessing the network. Now I just restore access when I want to update. It probably cuts off other MS services too, but none that I use or want.
You _can_ have nuclear power without enrichment. see CANDU. By using heavy water the neutron leakage due to absorption by hydrogen in a CANDU reactory is reduced sufficiently to allow criticality using natural uranium. If certain countries would reprocess their spent fuel instead of stockpiling it (as a future source of weapons grade plutonium), it would not only provide additional fuel, but also solve many of the current storage issues.
Forgottonia was a rural area in western Illinois that "seceded" and declared war on the US only to immediately surrender out of protest for being left out of many infrastructure projects.
Modern "desktop environments" have continued to add code to get down to what jwm provides in a ~200kb binary with no toolkit dependency.
The jwm "desktop environment" provides:
* multiple desktops and screen support
* per desktop backgrounds
* multiple horizontal and vertical launch bars (via trays and traybuttons)
* dock / notification area
* builtin clock, task list, pager, etc...
* multiple configurable "start" menus
* dynamic menu generation (can be used to make pseudo-apps too)
* group configurations to "style" specific apps or app types ...pretty much everything except (the apparently outdated notion of) desktop icons and a gui configuration (though several exist outside the main project).
I was in the US Navy for over a decade and one of my biggest ongoing complaints was NMCI. It was horrible, undependable,outdated _and_ overpriced.
First off because of the time to write specs for government contracts is so long, by the time you got any hardware, it was already outdated and overpriced. The monthly rental fees were about the cost to outright buy similar COTS (commercial off the shelf) replacements - so let HP take the equipment back, it would cost nothing the first month and save bundles each successive month.
Software was the same way only the licensing put a lot of software in places where it was useless (but still paid for) and made it nearly impossible to get anything other than a few COTS software packages - open source was not even an option, even when it was markedly better than any competing products.
Then there was the backbone, which I swear must have been made up of bread ties that were stripped and twisted together. The network would constantly go down for long periods of time and it was usually around high end dialup speeds... with mailbox limits that were in the tens of megabytes
This was in part due to their severe lack of security in the right places. I mean come on setting autoplay on by default, while preventing users from deleting print jobs out of their own spool ($$ for an extra service call because their crap screwed up) Firewalls? that actually got me into trouble, because I had a construction project that stated we would provide server space for uploading project management and other documents. Well NMCI decided they weren't going to support that particular software any more, nor anything similar to replace it, so I went on portableapps.com (though we couldn't install to HD, usb was fair game - even had autoplay locked on - how convenient?) and downloaded everything I needed to meet my contract requirements. It ran for quite a while with no errors or warnings poping up before they finally noticed and disabled my account and shut off my node.
-- I totally get why a Secretary of State wouldn't want this level of incompetence associated with her communications.
I don't like the GPL, but you misunderstand the legalese. You only have to distribute the source to whoever you distribute the binary. You can make as many changes as you wish within an organization without distributing the source outside of the organization. This includes work for hire.
If Apple uses this to be able to totally lock down the device by removing all external connectors so that it can be sealed using an ultrasonic weld, then it totally fits with their product strategy. I don't see ifixit recommending users take a dremel tool to their devices in order to replace a battery. This will enforce using professional services from Apple (possibly others eventually) to get any repairs done. Intentionally omitting any ability to upgrade the storage capacity (microsd, usb-otg,...) will help them sell the most expensive models or subscriptions to cloud based storage. I hate it but the millennials seem to buy into this model at an alarming rate, and their boomer grandparents tend to follow their lead, so this could be a brilliant move from a pure revenue perspective.
IANAL, but AFAIK, there is no legal definition of "illegal download" unless it is downloaded through unauthorized access.
There _are_ plenty of versions of illegal copying, but that is done on the servers side via something like send(), sendfile(), read()/write(), etc... so the host (youtube in this case) is the only possible violator unless you set up an intermediary to facilitate easier copying.
So long as the users do not further distribute the copy given to them by the host, they are free to do with it as they wish unless they explicitly agreed otherwise.

So it's OK if the GPL4 draft revokes all prior licenses. And people wonder why Linus removed the "later version" clause.
