my public library has an interlibrary loan department, they can get journal articles within a week or two through the ILL system. another library will fax your local library with a copy of the article for a $1 fee or something like that.
do you really think the multi billion dollar cluster fuck of govt servicing IT corporations and corrupt, bribed (campaign contributed) politicians is going to allow this to go on for much longer?
just wait a few months, the people at CFPB responsible for this will be accused of leaking classified info, raping a dog, or fucking a popsicle in a public place. don't expect the system to lie down and take this.
of course tackling that would mean going after the Saudis, Emiratis (including Dubai), Pakistanis and others who finance al-Shabaab. and god knows there are probably some 'red blooded americans' in there too making money off the drug deals or whatever.
is not to be shat upon after all? because i thought to be a 'real IT guy' i had to make "witty" comments about "you want fries with that" directed at anyone who had a degree that did not come from the college of engineering.
im supposed to give them more money to try again? what kind of bullshit is this?
im not against innovation, but im against blatantly unfair corporate practices, where you have one class of people who fuck up their way to the top, while masses of people get fired if they show up a minute late or lose 25 cents of material on a production line.
that is the phrase used in the actual espionage law. and i find it difficult to understand how the existence of torture, or enhanced IG or whatever you want to call it, is vitally 'related to the national defense'.
two entirely different laws, two entirely different purposes.
The IPA is to protect the safety of individual CIA officers.
The Espionage Act... well nobody knows exactly what the fuck it is supposed to protect, but "information related to the national defense" is the language actually used in the law. Not "classified material". In theory it should protect the vital secrets of the nation. In reality, it, and its spawn the Computer Espionage Act, are protecting shit like unclassified information from inspector general reports, and state department emails about the icelandic parliaments feelings regarding banking fraud.
1. electricity becomes widespread, generators invented, hydropower, lights, medical devices, car batteries, etc.
1.a. governments immediately use electricity to torture and execute prisoners, employ it in the holocaust, etc.
2. nuclear physics pushes back our understanding of reality, and discovering that E=>mc*c
2.a. governments immediately use nuclear weapons to murder hundreds of thousands of civilians, cause countless cases of cancer, and start an arms race that , on several occasions, comes within a few hours of having a mass casualty nuclear war that would have been worse than the black plague, aids, the holocaust, the holodomor, and the gulags all combined together.
3. rocketry is invented, promising mankind freedom from the bounds of land or sea travel
3.a. governments immediately use it to murder civilians
4. biomedical knowledge grows by leaps and bounds, with the discovery of ways to detect and manipulate viruses, microbes, etc
4.a. governments immediately use this to set up things like Sigmund Rascher's research lab in Dachau, or Unit 731 in Japan.
5. Scientists like Einstein, Sakharov, and Sagan push for human rights work and plea that the world not blow itself up.
5.a. they are almost completely ignored and called 'fantasticals' for daring to oppose violence and militarism.

6. someone has the audacity to propose that maybe the hacker community should avoid military funding
6.a. somebody on slashdot calls this person 'anti freedom'.
man, i am with you 100%. but lets think about it, what do those two things have in common? war and bailouts? it is the government wasting our money because our corrupt politicians take 'campaign contributions' (bribes) from companies and hedge funders, and then they decide the government budget that will benefit those 'investors' that profit from war and from bailouts.
we are just going to have to start funding this stuff ourselves. imagine all the school kids who are still idealistic about this stuff. i know i was when i was in the 6th grade. imagine if each one of them across the world could raise $1 and some how funnel it through the internet a la a crowdfunding thing like kickstarter. i mean if i could spend a $1 to help a space probe, i would have done it.
maybe we can just evolve that model a little bit? and then we can tell the government to go @#$ itself.
one of the three companies, Berico Technologies, had on it's menu of expertise the area of 'cellular exploitation'.
took a while to figure that out, but essentially you have 1. cellular communications, and 2. exploitation, the former being obvious, the latter being extracting 'actionable intelligence' from the logs, records, billings, etc of the former.
their management learned how to do this in the GWOT - some of them were part of special operations in Afghanistan.
every tool we use against the terrorists will be turned around and used on citizens eventually.
you dont want to build anything even remotely wasteful in regards to solar or wind, but by god lets throw a trillion dollars down the toilet to invade iraq and afghanistan for ten fucking years and accomplish some goal that nobody ever defined clearly.
i wore a uniform made in mexico, sat on furniture produced by inmates at federal prisons, and drove around in a truck fueled by oil from god knows where.
none of the people who built this stuff had 'freedom' by any modern definition of the word.

are moving at c? that seems like a big assumption to me.

there could be black holes in the dark matter. that's the whole point - we don't know whats in it?
with the universe full of 'dark matter', how do any of us know that our bits havent been dallying with black holes?
it's einstein's relativity 101. no event appears "simultaneous" to two observers moving at different speeds.
therefore there is no such thing as the 'beginning of the universe' common to all reference frames.
therefore the entire story summary is nonsensical.
they will then spy on americans.
hey, its the free market!
that would be problem number 1.
of course tackling that would mean going after the Saudis, Emiratis (including Dubai), Pakistanis and others who finance al-Shabaab. and god knows there are probably some 'red blooded americans' in there too making money off the drug deals or whatever.

and the ozone hole has been stablilized.
and the radical experimentation going on in our food supply. nope.

as though it were as proven as gravitation. its not. its just a goddamned theory.
they have actually looked at the fucking data. social science is incredibly important, but tends to be run by fucking hacks.

its funny how similar are the smells of free market capitalism, and burning insulation.
taxpayers pay for this government research, everyone who pays taxes pays for it. why isn't it free then?
