It does seem a little petty on the part of the Chinese government to worry about censoring this type of stuff. Why not let this type of information be distributed without comment and save the real censoring efforts for more important things like making sure their citizens don't hear about the large mushroom cloud seen rising above Pyongyang.
Russia might have put up the first experimental satellite because the US was busy working on the plans to put humans on the moon. This singular achievement has not been repeated by any other country.
"It is one thing to present a problem, it is quite another to propose a solution" Today people present problems, often highly exaggerated , but instead of proposing a solution the only goal is to identify someone to blame for the problem. After blame is assigned they move on to the next outrage of the day.
Every time they attempt to do their job they are pilloried as jack booted Nazi's infringing on peoples god given rights to engage in criminal activities.
Define "basic services" and "smaller internet". And does "basic services" include internet search capabilities? If so search engines and the inevitable advertisements baked into the search results represent the on ramp to monetizing the internet.
"would be off limits to monetization." Without monetization the current internet would not exist. It has taken enormous amounts of money to build the Internet infrastructure we use today. All the whiz bang functionality and services wasn't created by groups of volunteers and crowd funding efforts.
It would be better if they were only after financial gain because every "moral crusade" waged throughout recorded history has left a trail of dead bodies.
The last time China "leaped" forward over 30 million Chinese died from hunger and state sanctioned purges. It was Mao's way of getting rid of all the excess dead weight who did nothing but complain about his plans to turn China into a communist based utopian society. He was also able to jettison some more dead weight by sending a million bullet catching peasants into Korea to reverse UN territorial gains. While Mao's legacy has taken a hit because of China's conversion into a capitalist state at least he can take credit for foisting NK on the world.
It's hard to determine the final cost when the project in question requires developing and implementing technologies that have never made it off the white board or been proven viable outside of a laboratory.
There are Muslims in China. The largest concentration are the Uighurs who have clashed by the Chinese government for years.
The Chinese government also has an official policy that calls on people to report their neighbors, friends and relatives for âoeluring minors into religious activitiesâ in the province where the countryâ(TM)s largest Muslim population lives.
If I create some original digital content should I not have the right to set the terms of use and distribution? If someone doesn't agree with the terms they do not have the right to circumvent the terms just because they can.
If the world wants protection under the Bill of Rights and Constitution they should start paying US taxes. And I think the other poster was talking about foreign intelligence operatives not the people visiting for vacation, education, or other such mundane reasons.
"Nothing in the Bill of Rights inherently limits these rights to only US citizens." Only because the idea is so ludicrous that nobody gave it a second thought.
"give up more and more freedom and the courts seem willing to help it happen in the name of social justice, political correctness or even the judge's personal feelings... " I think the judgment in the article refutes your opinion. Nobody has giving up or lost any of their constitutional rights. Even child pornographers still have their rights. If the suspects in this case are guilty the law enforcement agencies will just have to find and rely on other evidence to prosecute the offenders. If that isn't possible then the suspected child pornographer is free to go on their merry way. Maybe some more evidence will be found after their next offense.
Totally remove Snowden from the argument and there is nothing wrong with any US President putting the US native workforce ahead of foreign workers. And complain all you want about Trump, and there is a lot to complain about, there is nothing wrong with any US President putting US interests ahead of any other countries.
And how can anyone be surprised that Russia is more than willing to put Snowden on a plane back to the US to cultivate favor with the US government? In our cynical world that is just politics 101. There is no downside for Russia handing him over to the US. There would be no Russian protestors storming the Kremlin to protest the decision. There will be no impassioned speeches in the Russian legislature imploring Putin to change his mind. As far as Russia is concerned Snowden's propaganda value has been used up so why not hand him over.
I didn't mean to imply all administrators are idiots. There are a lot of very good administrators out there but at the same time there are also a lot of not so good administrators.
"If a system/domain/network administrator needs a class or a book to setup a stable basic system, they are in the wrong line of work" Maybe they are just entry level newbies that do need books and classes to supplement their real world experience.
Crashing all day? I suggest getting a book or taking a class on how to install and configure 2012 servers. Or maybe just get someone who knows what the hell they are doing to setup your server(s). The #1 cause of server exploits in both Windows and Linux OS's are the idiot administrators.
"It's doubtful they understood the risks of nuclear back in the 70s" I am pretty sure they started learning about the dangers of nuclear processes starting back in the 1940's. "It took a Fukushima accident... " Have you ever heard about the 3 Mile Island incident back in 1979? The Chernobyl accident was in 1986. The Fukushima accident didn't happen until 2011.
Those proclaiming themselves conservatives or liberals both lost the election and that is not a bad thing. People on both sides of the political divide wasted billions of dollars trying to get their chosen candidates elected.
If someone wanted to "disappear" him they had all kinds of time to do so before he retreated into the Ecuadoran embassy. He is a known entity who has alienated more people than he has attracted with his behavior.
The only thing Assange worried about is fading into obscurity and losing his cherished martyr status. The US has not even filed an extradition request and since he is not a US citizen he hasn't broke any law that the US could realistically prosecute. He didn't steal anything and publishing the information delivered to him is not a crime. That being said this guy is still a narcissistic drama queen.
Almost all of the money the US has given to Israel over the years could only be used to purchase US military tech. The most recent deal with them is the first time they are allowed to spend a higher percentage on non-US weapons. "The entire country functions on favors and shady backroom deals" Can you name one other country on the planet who doesn't do the same thing?
Close to 45% of US citizens do not pay federal or state income taxes. Instead they get yearly refunds that cover any federal or state taxes deducted from their pay check. And paying taxes does not mean you get a line item veto on the government budgets.

How do you ban someone when they can just setup another account under a different name?

This is the FBI organizational mandate and their reason for existing.
