"Hypothetical"? Of course the friend would be under such instructions. The separation of keys would make no sense otherwise. As you yourself admitted, "Snowden is screwed"--i.e., the files would not be divulged--under such circumstances.
Sorry, no. He is definitely *not* a traitor. He has not levied war on the United States, nor has he given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States (no, releasing the information he has released doesn't count as that). So he is not a traitor.
That's assuming Snowden *has* the password to his encrypted files. The best way for him to have done it, near as I can figure it, for him to take the encrypted files but not the keys, and leave the keys with an trusted friend or two. So no matter what the Chinese or Russians might do to him, they wouldn't be able to get the files unlocked.
Snowden could have been an Ellsberg; instead he chose to take his information to China and Russia.
No, he chose to take *himself* to China and Russia, and I can't say I blame him.
One would have to assume is the first things those country's intelligence agencies would do is get their hands on his files.
Except they didn't, because Snowden didn't take his files with him, at least not unencrypted.
He could refuse; but then again they could simply bundle him up and ship him back to the US and core political points.
Are you kidding? This is their best propaganda coup in the past twenty years. They're not going to screw it up even if they don't get access to Snowden's files.
Well, yes and no. For most airplanes, it's a combination of the Bernoulli effect and the angle of attack. However, it is, as you demonstrated, perfectly possible to build a practical airplane that relies solely on the angle of attack--stunt planes commonly do this, having wings with symmetrical cross-sections, as they regularly fly upside-down.
If you are a Windows user and have a convertible or a Surface Pro you'll quickly find out after a little tinkering that it actually works really nicely as a hybrid.
Yeah, we interviewed all the Surface Pro owners and both of them said Windows 8 works great on it.
the MAC addresses don't need to be reserved or belong to a single range
True--but if you're planning on integrating your equipment with a lot of third party NICs, having a reserved range for your equipment can be the simplest way to avoid collisions, if you're big enough to make it worthwhile.
But if they went IPv6, they wouldn't need all that - they could statically or dynamically configure each vending machine w/ an IPv6 address on a central DHCP6 server, and they'd be done
MAC addresses aren't part of IPv4 or IPv6 (IPv6 does have a standard for automatically generating IPv6 addresses from MAC addresses, but, as you point out, you can hand addresses out centrally from a DHCP server instead). They're part of Ethernet. TCP/IP (4 or 6) needs a data link layer to actually move the bits for it. These days, that'll be Ethernet nine times out of ten. And if you're doing Ethernet, you gotta have MAC addresses.
For one thing, it fits with the moon theme. Where in the West, we see a Man in the Moon, China and Japan see a Rabbit in the Moon. The Chinese sometimes call this rabbit "the jade rabbit".
[The US Constitution] defined treason as: "Allegiance to a foreign country".
Um, no it didn't. It defined treason as a citizen waging war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States. It also requires that there be two witness to an act of treason in order to convict.

Sure you can. You just don't do it by subverting the vote count. You do it by intimidating and bribing the voters, which is even easier.
"Hypothetical"? Of course the friend would be under such instructions. The separation of keys would make no sense otherwise. As you yourself admitted, "Snowden is screwed"--i.e., the files would not be divulged--under such circumstances.
And if the friend is under strict instructions *not* to surrender the keys if he has any suspicions that Snowden might be under duress?
There is no way, technical or non-technical, to get him to give up the keys if he doesn't *have* the keys.
Sorry, no. He is definitely *not* a traitor. He has not levied war on the United States, nor has he given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States (no, releasing the information he has released doesn't count as that). So he is not a traitor.

If this "looks very much like an anti-gravity system", then so does a hovercraft.
Chaotic systems are HERESY!

I find paying cash works remarkably well.

I call it "target practice"!
If you were my wife, I'd drink it.
That's because it's not scientific notation; it's engineering notation and perfectly proper.
Yep. The courts have consistently ruled that it surely can. Because the border is not *inside* the US, Constitutional protections do not apply there.

Gun books don't kill people, people books kill people!
"Houston, this is Tranquility Base. The Eagle has breakfasted."
This is news to me. What country has Snowden attempted to sell secrets to? Sources, please.
Um, no it didn't. It defined treason as a citizen waging war against the United States or giving aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States. It also requires that there be two witness to an act of treason in order to convict.
Good thing that's not what Snowden did at all, then.
Demanding authority and accountability means we need some standard, reliable source of truth to measure them against. Where do we get it from?
