The greens need to accept something like ubiquitous nuclear energy before electric cars become feasible and more environmentally friendly than ICE based cars.
While there might be algorithms and methods that are near to impossible of being compromised the average user does not have access to it.
I said:
The average user does not have access to RSA?
I, of course, meant the RSA algorithm, as used by PGP, S/MIME and so on, not the crappy products of a company that uses the same name.
Do you thing the "average used" is unable to access Thunderbird?
You attempt to change the subject:
The average user does not have access to either the algorithms, mathematical skills, or the other resources required to analyze and crack today's advanced encryption methodologies in a realistic time frame.
Which is true. In fact I contend that as far as we know not even the NSA can do that.
The military VHSIC program was a bust - commercial chips eventually out-performed the stuff all the money had been poured into.
The closest we've ever seen to a real case of this paranoid fear was the GCHQ independent development of public key crypto. And they couldn't figure out what use that would be.
These are different enough that hate speech is not protected in France, and the recent rulings regarding religious attire also lends credence to the idea that the 1st Amendment offers greater protection here than does the Déclaration des droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen.
I'd blame that on poor judgment by the conseil constitutionel rather than differences in the wording.
For some reason the clowns decided that wearing funny clothes "troubled the public order".
Maybe someday a US supreme court might decide wearing a sikh turban is the equivalent of shouting "FIRE" in a crowded theatre.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (part of the French constition):
10. No one shall be disquieted on account of his opinions, including his religious views, provided their manifestation does not disturb the public order established by law.
11 The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law.
Exactly. The reality is there isn't enough significant news to fill an entire 24 hour period so the sensationalism needs to make events bigger than they actually are.
This is totally untrue.
The problem with "24 hour news" is that they don't tell you about most of the important things that are going on, just the stuff they have film of.
And their decisions about what film to pay for are by no means neutral.
"Paranoid bullshit" No it is not. While there might be algorithms and methods that are near to impossible of being compromised the average user does not have access to it

. I think it's time for people to realize that the military, NSA,CIA, and even the FBI IT departments are staffed by some of the most talented IT specialist in the world
No "IT specialist" will crack modern encryption methods. You're talking hard mathematics here
with access to some of the most advanced technology on the planet.
They have quantum computers?
Or just bigger versions of what everyone else has?
'cos you're seriously underestimating the cost of brute-forcing any decent cipher.
Well, duh, I was wrong. There is a Federal murder law. Basicly applies to murders outside of any state, like a ship at sea, or in an embassy. (Or in DC? I'm not sure).
However, murder is generally a job for the states DA, not the feds.
And that's a federal DA speaking, like I get he convicts pedos and murders and stuff, but have you ever heard of justice and ethics dude? Your DA score card isn't worth 1/1000 of a human life.
Murder is not a federal crime.
He prosecutes people for wire fraud and things like that.
It would still be the same situation, they'd just come after you (probably break down your door even) to take it..
Wrong. The DOJ wanted to read his mail without him knowing. Google argued that he should be told, which was nice of them, but if it was his own server in his own house the problem wouldn't come up.
It took you longer to type that post than it would take the NSA to break any encryption this guy could have applied...they've been able to decrypt things like this in real time for over a decade now.
Using encryption to hide information from the US government is pointless if the information is important enough that the government will allocate the necessary resources to break it.
The government can seize a server from your home, your ISP or anywhere else they wish. This has nothing to do with email being free or not, but where the server is based, and whether your government has power (or influence) over the local law enforcement at that location.
But not without you knowing about it:
'Both Google and Sonic pressed for the right to inform Mr. Appelbaum of the secret court orders, according to people familiar with the investigation.'
Anyway, all the stuff on my home server is encrypted.

This is the first Soyuz launch from French Guiana.
(And so this is the first launch of a possibly man-ratable launcher by ESA).
The greens need to accept something like ubiquitous nuclear energy before electric cars become feasible and more environmentally friendly than ICE based cars.
Did that in the '70s.
Oh, you're not living in France. Sorry.
Windows Phone 7.1 and later. And if you have looked at N9 from Nokia, you'd be ignorant to notice how great it is.
I have an N9. It is the most beautiful phone I've ever seen and much of the software is great.
But it isn't running Mango. It's running Meego-Harmattan.
(The Mango phone will probably look very similar, so it'll be physically impressive, but the software won't be the same.)
Which is why the French slogan is "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite".
Freedom only comes from Equality. Equality only comes from Solidarity.
There were languages before (and after) C.
but they were shit before c, and those languages that were after c and were any good were heavily influenced by c.
Because lisp is shit? Haskel is shit?
There were operating systems before (and after) Unix.
but they were shit.
Multics was shit? Plan9 is shit?
Yours is a very small and parochial vision of the world. I am sure that dmr would be appalled.
yeah, as i see it, c was the language that really started this whole computer thing going.
Then you see it wrong.
There were languages before (and after) C.
There were operating systems before (and after) Unix.
dmr was a genius, but let's not get carried away.

More paranoia.

For some reason the clowns decided that wearing funny clothes "troubled the public order".
Maybe someday a US supreme court might decide wearing a sikh turban is the equivalent of shouting "FIRE" in a crowded theatre.
For example there's no 1st Amendment in France.
1st amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (part of the French constition):

And their decisions about what film to pay for are by no means neutral.
Yes, very good. They can intercept your e-mail (except they didn't in this case - that's why they needed to ask Google for a copy).
Now try reading it.

Keep in mind that the NSA is traditionally about five years ahead of the commercial market in computer hardware
Insane. Where do you think they buy their hardware?

cower in my shadow behind your chosen non-standard based pseudonym, feeb.
Could you give me a pointer to the standard or RFC doc for pseudonyms, I seem to have lost my copy.

Really the best solution is to obey the law and then you have nothing to fear, citizen 4356465446.
What is this, Brazil(*)? You're confising citizen 4356465446 and citizen 774728.
(* The film, not the place. Not meant to cast aspersions on repressive abilities of Brazillian police).
You may of missed the point that the DOJ didn't want the guy to know they were reading his mail.
I think he might have guessed if they were pulling his fingernails out and screaming "what is your email password!"
It took you longer to type that post than it would take the NSA to break any encryption this guy could have applied...they've been able to decrypt things like this in real time for over a decade now.

More open than what? The iPhone, yes. The Apple ][, no.
Where are the slots? Why do I need a special screwdriver to open the box?
Hardware can be hacked on too.
