What private communications did you have in the past? Phones can be tapped, postal mail can be read? If you use proper end-to-end encryption you can have private communications. If anything we have better privacy in terms of communication if you want it. Most people don't bother with real security - but if you want it you can get it.
The Presidents blackberry uses custom software plus and add-on hardware module provided by the NSA to provide security. Which just shows that RIM does not provide any security at all.
This is wrong of course. As someone who works in the industry I can safely say you cannot monitor ALL traffic at wire speeds. Especially not on a router because the OS doesn't work that way. And decrypting encrypted traffic is CPU intensive, even if you had the keys which you may not.
However the server endpoints for a particular app, or if the data stream for a particular app, or user, can be determined (an in the case of email, IM, SMS, etc) it can be easily monitored.
End to end encryption is the best (and only) guard against snooping I know of.
Really? So you only do interviews with friendly non-hostile interviews? I guess they should only ask questions from the "approved" list too. What kind of CEO stops answering questions because he thinks the interviewer is hostile?
People should know that their communications aren't secure. Interviewers should ask these questions repeatedly especially to those that claim to be sure.
Hate to break it to you, but the "Internet" is already owned by corporations. You didn't think the government strung all that fiber and installed all those routers did you? The internet isn't ARPANET anymore...
I didn't say it was a good idea to end nuclear power plants. I just said it was the end of nuclear power plants in my opinion. Don't attack me, I'm just the messenger.
$300 billion cleanup bill for this mess.
Years of unusable land.
Polluted ocean.
Unknown effects on health of people within the radiation zone.
What is the true cost of nuclear power?
The sad part it what will really stop nuclear power dead is if this forces the PM to resign due to public pressure. The potential disruption of the political power structure are what the politicians are really going to be worried about.
In my opinion this is the end of nuclear power plants.
This is truly the end of fission Nuclear power plants. Even if this doesn't turn out to be as big a disaster as the media makes it out to be, many people will say hell no - not in my backyard. Already countries, including China and US, are canceling projects.
Good time to sell the uranium companies short I think.
Riiiight. Thats just bullshit. The owners get huge taxpayer breaks and often taxpayer funded stadiums to conduct their businesses in. The fact that 1000 people might get a $10/hr job doesn't compensate for the billions wasted on children's games.
It is nice that the world is so wealthy we can spend billions of dollars of extra money watching grown men kicking balls into nets. We truly have entered the Golden Age.
Its a problem because everyone needs to spend lots and lots of money maintaining the infrastructure that you use to get those (and live in) suburban houses. So we are getting what they are proposing: more taxes to support that lifestyle.
At least the developers got rich building the suburbs. Unfortunately the taxpayers need to pay for the building and maintenance of the road/pipes/electricity/etc.
Nonsense. There are plenty of countries without roving gangs of armed thugs. It just depends on how much effort the government wants to put into making a country gun-free. Enjoy your constant fear of armed robbery though - it sounds like a good life.
I keep my rocket launcher in case I get hungry and need to hunt rabbits. You called it! All the small-penises are trotting out their gun collections now!
Japan Tsunami = massive natural disaster - GUN TOTING POPULATION -> no looting & roving gangs -> no murder, assault -> no need for way to "protect" self and family
Thai Tsunami = massive natural disaster - GUN TOTING POPULATION -> no looting & roving gangs -> no murder, assault -> no need for way to "protect" self and family
See a pattern here?
Slashdot Mirror
Plus Apple (and anyone else) gets to track you for free!
No I'm pretty sure that is original.
Great! Can I opt out of that if I don't want any application tracking me? Oh wait, I can't?

Not sure what map you use but Topeka is about 60 miles from Kansas City, KS.
Yes actually TEPCO was a partial investor in three reactors that were being planned for Texas. They have been canceled now.

No I'd rather have them spending billions on neither of the two options. Are you saying there are only two options to spend billions of dollars on?

Nowhere in your diatribe did you mention helping anyone in need. You are one sick fuck.
Nonsense. There are plenty of countries without roving gangs of armed thugs. It just depends on how much effort the government wants to put into making a country gun-free. Enjoy your constant fear of armed robbery though - it sounds like a good life.
It sounds like you 1) Might want to move from Atlanta 2) Might want to support removing guns from the general population.

Personal protection? Are you that big of an asshole that people want to kill you often?
