All of my financial info is with Quicken on my PC. Everything else related to teh intertube world is recorded on a textfile on my PC with the passwords being represented as a cypher. The cypher is a one or two word comment relating to the password phrase I use (which I, in turn, munge to be first letter of each word or some other pattern, yadda) I've got the username/password cypherlist stored on my smartphone as well (Because I can't keep up anymore) and the cypher key is kept only as a hardcopy along with a hard copy of the textfile stored in a fireproof lockbox in my home. (The textfile points out the key is in the lockbox too).
I should probably just put the cypher key list in a separate lockbox (without any other username/account info) and geocache it to make it more fun for my heirs...
I've got a green LED clock and a TV with a red LED that's on when it's off. Once my eyes adjust I can see most of my bedroom FINE... especially when the moon is out and shining through my blinds...

Or is this along the same kind of logic that because it weighs as much as a duck it's a witch...
"Perhaps they're bound by a National Security Letter?"
Maybe. It could also be exactly what they say - When presented by an actual warrant to intercept items (EG for goods purchased with stolen credit cards or contraband) they follow it. That WOULD include national security incidents too but, as they say "UPS is not aware of any court orders from the NSA seeking to inspect technology-related shipments" and I'd think a gag order would prevent them from affirming or denying the issue.
It is kind of strange that the headline mentions the white house adding pressure, but the summary doesn't at all...

Today, House Leadership, acting through the Rules Committee and in cooperation
with the Obama Administration, approved a manager’s amendment to USA FREEDOM
that makes significant changes to the bill it comes to the House Floor for a
vote.
That's why I use Monster brand rubber band protectors on my hard drive. For only $50 per band ($60 for the professional gold embroidered trim which gives you a little extra protection) you wrap them around the hard drive and they protect from bitloss on your hard drive platters and other EMP disturbances.
He's going to use the, so-called, corrupt system to change the laws to prevent himself from ever doing this again?
I dunno... why not kickstart a super-PAC that would buy candidates that does something productive? Like hire candidates who will restore our rights per the 4th amendment, stop the drug war, stop punitive taxation...yadda, yadda...
No no... gotta use the loophole to close the loophole..
I RTFA but I don't see what they're counting as social media? Are we including things like IM and EMail or collaborative development products like web based agile? Or did they just count Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/... "Several readers sent word that California State Senator Leland Yee was arrested today. He's accused of conspiring to traffic guns and commit wire fraud, to defraud citizens of honest services, and bribery. The complant (PDF) also names 25 other defendants. Yee is known for pushing legislation that would ban the sale of violent video games to minors. "Federal prosecutors also allege Yee agreed to perform official acts in exchange for the money, including one instance in which he introduced a businessman to state legislators who had significant influence over pending medical marijuana legislation. In exchange, the businessman -- who was actually an undercover FBI agent -- agreed to donate thousands to Yee's campaign fund, according to the indictment. The indictment also describes an August 2013 exchange in which [former school board president Keith Jackson] told an undercover officer that Yee had an arms trafficking contact. Jackson allegedly said Yee could facilitate a meeting for a donation." Here's a hint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...
Wow... are you really that dense? The OP states that facebook will be a requirement BUT [ALSO] mandatory to receive basic services like power, water, etc;
I merely posted a link pointing out that it's ALREADY mandatory to accept water services.
I don't think facebook will become a requirement but I happen to agree with his gist. I think its not only probable but very likely that we will see a requirement for an mandatory internet ID assigned at birth during our lifetimes. You already hear it from the cries of government officials clamoring about all the anonymity on the internet.
There's more at play here than Netflix and "Hollywood".
You have wal-mart, Best Buy and Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Redbox and other stores/physical places that continue to market DVDs.
Getting rid of the DVD market means that the marketing of movies falls from many stores to a *few* streaming providers which would give them far more leverage on pricing and distribution then Hollywood is ready to give up.
Also, streaming movies has relatively expensive up front costs requiring internet service and a decoder box plus an additional monthly fee that some people can't afford. (Let alone the older generation that can't figure out all that new-fangled GOOEY menu streaming stuff... and have enough problems just putting a disc in their DVD player!)

There's some risk involved but missing the launch window for supplies could be a greater risk (and spoilage time, etc;)
