The part of you that's shuddering is your conscience, which is doing its best to protect you.
The only way Americans have to get important info from our government that officials don't want to release because it reveals their wrongdoing (eg. negligence, crimes or both) is from leaks to the press. We've got entirely too little government disclosure to the press, and press publication.
Where's the evidence for these leaks endangering lives of agents, or any other real security problem, that overbalances the security gained from publishing stories of inside government problems? The best-known one is the Plame leak, by the Cheney, Rove, Libby crew, to attack an ambassador whose investigation showed Bush was lying in the State of the Union about fake Niger uranium going to Iraq. We need more disclosure of how those officials leaked their attack to the press, not less. If more Bush administration people who knew Bush was determined to go to war in Iraq, even at the expense of stopping the Qaeda and bin Laden (where is bin Laden?), leaked the truth to the press, we might not be down thousands of killed Americans, tens of thousands of gravely wounded Americans, and even more killed and wounded Iraqis. Or facing the prospect of many times that amount of deaths, if the Iraq catastrophe even stays at the current unacceptable scale of killing.
Do you believe that Bush is not accumulating info on his political friends and enemies? Especially after it's been revealed how he spied on top UN reps leading up to the Iraq votes and Greek politicians leading up to the Olympics?
Iran/Contra was primarily an "intelligence" operation. Nixon's Watergate breakin (to steal Democratic Party files during the 1972 presidential race) was perpetrated by CIA agents like Gordon Liddy.
The money comes later. Bush Sr is a principal of the Carlyle Group (started by Reagan/Bush Defense Secretary Carlucci), one of the biggest "private equity" corps in the world. They make billions on a world of mining, oil and other "natural resource extraction" operations, just to name a simple, obvious business they're in. The Florida and Texas budgets, on top of the $3.5TRILLION US budget, are full of probably $TRILLIONS the Bushes have extracted since the 1980s. It takes a lot of intelligence to run an empire like that, underpinning the American empire.
Really, the benefits are obvious. Just think of the worst thing Bush could do with the power he's got, and start googling. It won't take long to find out that you've underestimated.
Will the 700P present a better target for installing Linux than the 700W, the same way Windows HW is the main platform for Linux, but Palm HW is usually more problematic?
The Supreme Court has held over centuries that no search is reasonable without probable cause. This country wasn't born yesterday, though the cabal destroying it from Washington treats us though the people were.
FWIW, the 4th Amendment was weakened during Reagan/Bush's Drug War, especially when courts found that police searching the "wrong" home "by accident", who operated on (unproveable) "good faith", could use evidence they found there, even without probable cause, "reasonable suspicion", or any other reason to search the entered home. Shooting cops nearly always gets you killed or imprisoned, regardless of law, justice, or firepower.
That last post might have been too comprehensive than is justified by the value of the person to whom I replied, especially given their rude prior messages.
But people communicating to me without listening to themselves for "quality control" are one of my pet peeves. When I get directions, such as the location of the next customer service location in a store, or some place I'm going with confusing extra decisions in between, without info that an inexperienced person like myself would need - just sufficient info to remind the experienced person I'm asking - I get annoyed. Instructions or info of any kind that's useable only by themselves, with the extra assumptions they haven't shared, is often useless or worse.And that happens often enough that I accumulate a lot of annoyance.
So whenever I can, I try to help incompetent people like that to better communicate, by explaining how their defect caused the problem, and how they can learn to do better. It generally helps fix the problem, just a tiny bit. But it also lets me channel my annoyance into constructive behavior, rather than either screaming at them, at someone else, or just silently to myself.
The person to whom I replied seems to be impervious to advice, judging from their blythe, obnoxious reply to my comment. But others reading might get the message. And I felt better having explained their defect, rather than just simmering a little to myself. This reply serves a similar, though more meta, purpose.
That looks pretty cool. I can't quickly tell from the project docs whether it can talk to a standard SIP server, or whether it needs the server bundled with the project. And whether that standard SIP server can be something really standard, rather than only GoogleTalk. IE, can the client work just like a regular SIPphone, like the popular X-lite client? And has it been tested across (latent) radio networks like GPRS/EDGE/EVDO/UMTS/WiFi?
TrollMods, if Rumsfeld's gonna flame me, he better use one of those Star Wars satellites. I shall only return, more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
No, I thought you meant the case - the lawsuit. Because you said
"Entire case can be summarized in one expletive. Bullshit."
IOW, "entire case is bullshit". The case is EFF vs AT&T. The case is the plaintiff's case against the defendant. EFF, the plaintiff, is seeing "the government", the Bush Justice Department, intervene on behalf of the defendant, AT&T.
So maybe your problem is not so much your accuracy ("total bullshit" would be more accurate), but your precision (often masked by inaccuracy, targeting the wrong subject).
You told everyone you think EFF's case is bullshit. Then you took my fair criticism badly, without even considering how you'd created the confusion yourself. And spat out an obnoxious little emoticon to further discredit yourself.
You've given plentiful reasons to disregard your summary. Firstposting an obvious blurt about a terrible government crime doesn't score you any credit, especially when you bungle it so badly, including the followup.
So Bush's government is derailing justice to protect his compiling vast complex databases of our private communications. In the hands of Iran/Contra conspirators.
After Bush's Justice Department agreed to drop their in-house investigation into Bush's NSA wiretap spying because Bush's NSA told them they didn't have security clearance, these lawsuits are the main obstacle to Bush spying on you as much as he can, taxpaid by you.
Next week, NSA whistleblower Chris Strom will reveal to the Senate how the NSA domestic spying goes even further than these latest exposures (despite Bush denial at every step). Probably spying on us with our satellites, which they scare us into paying for as part of that useless $BILLION Star Wars missile shield.
Of course we should take your summary as accurate. After all, Bush himself says it's bullshit. So does his attorney general Gonzales. And Cheney says "go fuck yourself".
So Sensenbrenner requires corporations to disclose ID leaks to the government - that's to Sensenbrenner. He also requires every American to have a government ID, which can be leaked. Sounds like Sensenbrenner is building his own database to exploit, maybe when he retires, or just runs for reelection again - paid for by bribes from corporate ID leakers.
His DNA is like his fingerprints: if he left it in public, the government can just collect or copy it. Otherwise,
Fourth Amendment " The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
The Israeli security you mention is real security, not just handwaving PR. They are winners. The empty American "security" gestures you describe, from airlines to marketing, simulates security ("simcurity"). It's a loser.
As usual, the best practice is real security, with tasteful promotion that people can trust as much as the security itself.

If Google releases a Linux GTalk under GPL, the rest of us can make it work on other hardware. Like a Treo running Linux.
Bush is nominating Hayden to direct the CIA. Even though Hayden broke the law by spying on us, saying the 4th Amendment doesn't require probable cause. It does.
