I agree, but I have to add one thing. It is not simply about hard work, it is also about making good choices. No amount of hard work can compensate for poor financial decisions and habits. I think there are far more people that work hard, but make bad financial decisions such as living beyond their means or deciding to invest their life savings with Uncle Bernie, than there are people who flat out refuse to work.
They don't need access to the servers to be able to read your gmail at all. They are making a whole-sale copy of they internet, you simply compel google to give up their certs, replicate their infrastructure and software and have a real-time copy of the same info under your control being fed by shadow copy of the Internet. All google did then was provide the government with the software capabilities to run a gmail infrastructure and not the content, government gets access to content.
Ahh yes... if you have trouble selling something for it's intended purpose for an economic price, put it in a bottle and say it makes you look younger. This idea isn't new. Maybe we should call the algae-oil salesmen now....
Information being encrypted is actually a legal excuse for the NSA to store those records indefinitely. Unless you exchange your keys in person by whispering in a dark alley, I'm not sure it would make much of a difference anyway.
You have obviously never done work for a doctor's office before. Many systems require internet access for things such as insurance verification. Meaningful Use requirements for medical doctors require that doctors be able to share information between each other, stage 2 requires structured data. Most of this is done via VPN over the internet as dedicated lines to each location are cost prohibitive.
If you want congressmen to take your opinion seriously, you need to speak in the only language they understand... votes. Someone needs to start a crowd-funded super PAC that specifically targets politically vulnerable candidates who opposed privacy. Start running negative ads in their home districts and you may see a change, but last I checked no one in Washington gives a crap about what is posted on/.
BS... crime increased due to prohibition. Your statement couldn't be more incorrect. Here are my facts... where are yours? Or was that just your uneducated opinion of what happened?
The following are statistics detailing how much worse crime got:
Police funding: INCREASED $11.4 Million
Arrests for Prohibition Las Violations: INCREASED 102+%
Arrests for Drunkenness and Disorderly Conduct: INCREASED 41%
Arrests of Drunken Drivers: INCREASED 81%
Thefts and Burglaries: INCREASED 9%
Homicides, Assault, and Battery: INCREASED 13%
Number of Federal Convicts: INCREASED 561%
Federal Prison Population: INCREASED 366%
Total Federal Expenditures on Penal Institutions: INCREASED 1,000%
Sugar is addictive and is currently being considered for taxation, exactly the same route pot took to become illegal. The comparison of sugar to drugs is not very far-fetched. I would argue people like you who demonize drugs as something awful without recognizing the dangers of LEGAL substances such as alcohol, sugar, fat, tobacco and other known substances that have negative effects on the human body when consumed in excess (or in tobacco's case, at all). Maybe you are the "twit".
I'll probably get modded off of/. for saying this... but I've owned an iPhone, Android (Galaxy) and a WP and my WP8 phone is by far my favorite as well as the most stable (stability is important to me) phone I've owned.
Given that information is key to all other advances and its nature and quantity is always changing, so too will the technology used to make sense of it all. While what we have today might become mundane, demands on information technology will also increase. IT will always be in a state of flux.
As someone who loves visual studio, Microsoft has screwed to pooch here.... The dev environment doesn't work in the new gui, no backwards compatibility in the native gui, they really made at mess out of this.

Good is a US based company and is legally bound to NOT be truthful, just as Verizon, AT&T and other are.

I'm not sure about that, Canada just passed a law that can send masked individuals away for 10 years if they are part of an "unlawful gathering".
Huh? You don't think they have your landline logs?
Google is levering its dominance in another area similar to what MS did with IE and Windows...
Not as fast as the ASIC cards...
Except that you are still running unsupported OSes within the environment, this is still a security risk, VM or not.

Bundles of cash is not evidence of illegal activity.

From a bandwidth prospective, this would simply level out their traffic. The bandwidth is essentially free since their links are full-duplex.
I think we should just use FTL to request the RFC in its future state.
Personally, I really like my WP8 device... A month ago I dumped my Galaxy S for Nokia WP8 and have been very happy so far.
The problem is that only 0.01% of the population would understand the joke :(

Hahaha that was my exact thought.... and to think I've been paying sales tax on my steaks all of these years...
What? Tell them you want 2x what you were looking for and when they don't hire you, sue them for discrimination.

In IT the only constant is change.
