I'm not sure I trust this source. Not that I don't think this is/was happening, but this guy could be a deliberate plant to discredit any investigations into the NSA's actions. The Bush camp has done this kind of thing before. That document that came out during the 2004 election is a prime example. It was poorly faked, but actually contained accurate information: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/15/60II/main643768.shtml
But all people remember is that the first document that was made public was fake. They forget or ignore that people who were around at the time have testified to the authenticity of the information.
I expect this guy will get "outed" as a crank in the next few weeks and nobody will pay attention to any revelations that are subsequently made.
A friend of mine who worked for a major bank had webmail blocked by her IT dept. They claimed it was for Y2K reasons. I couldn't begin to explain what was wrong with that excuse.
My company's IT dept blocks HTML attachments in email to "prevent viruses". They appear ignorant of the fact that email can be formatted with HTML, or indeed that I have a little program on my desktop designed specifically for downloading HTML files direct from the web.
If Microsoft buy Novell, then that deal is worthless to the community. So anyone attempting to continue the work with Moonlight and Mono would be open to attack for infringing on Microsoft's patents.
If Katherine Harris had executed her legally required duty to conduct a recount of the entire state of Florida, Gore would have won Florida. But she didn't and she got a nice seat in congress as her reward for breaking the law.
I run Mandriva at home and my wi-fi would grind to a halt if I played any kind of audio. As soon as I stopped the audio, the network came back. I found a couple of reports online from people that appeared to have the same problem, but never a solution.
I had to change out the motherboard for an unrelated reason, and the problem went away. It was a completely different chipset on the new motherboard, so I figure there was a problem with the drivers for the old one. I think it was C-Media audio.
I had Prof. Wickramasinghe was one of my Pure Maths lecturers during my first year at Cardiff. He was dreadfully hard to understand.
My flatmate, who was a paleobotany postgrad at the time, had some very disparaging things to say about him. He had co-authored a few papers claiming the Archaeopteryx was a hoax, based on his poor understanding of the subject matter.
it was Bush critic Richard Armitage in the State Department who did the actual Valerie Plame leaking
Bullshit. Bush would have dragged him in front of the TV cameras in shackles were that the case. Armitage is another one of his neo-con cronies. He can break the law just as much as Bush with impunity.
Interesting articles. This passage in the second one:
The Social Democrats at first had planned to hinder the passing of the law by boycotting the Reichstag session, rendering the body short of the two-thirds quorum needed for the vote, but led by Reichstag president Hermann Goering, the body changed its rules of procedure to allow the Reichstag president to declare any deputy "absent without excuse" to be considered as present in order to forestall obstruction.
Under Senate rules and tradition, a 2/3 vote is required to consider any bill on the floor of the Senate, giving 11 Senators the power to block a vote. The Republican Governor and Lieutenant Governor then determined they would do away with the 2/3 rule, and called another special session
I don't know why they don't just electronically tag everybody.
Then if they see a bunch of people congregating together without permission from the government, they can round them up and send them away for enhanced interrogation. I mean, if you're trying to hide something, and meeting other people, you're probably a terrorist.
People can't bitch about the poor intelligence sharing/processing lapses leading up to 9/11, and also bitch about the piece of legislation that fixes the problem
There were FBI agents reporting suspicious activity by the 9/11 hijackers. There were US citizens reporting suspicious activity by the 9/11 hijackers. The FBI chose to ignore it. They had all the power they needed to stop the hijackings and the top brass weren't interested.
And if you want to be technical about it, the recount in Florida was not stopped illegally, it was started illegally
Hmm, not according to this. November 9: Manual recounts are requested by or on behalf of the Gore campaign under 102.166 in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Volusia counties.
But why let the facts obscure the truthiness of your assertions?
Nowhere in that report does it state that 80% of weapons used in crimes are obtained by illegal means. Hell, the stats aren't even dealing with weapons, they're talking about percentages of inmates.
It has stats that list retail sources and non-retail. One of those non-retail sources is partially classified as illegal.

Gore didn't win Florida, the SCOTUS put a stop to that.
He did, however, poll more votes than Bush. http://www.commondreams.org/views01/1115-02.htm

Are you really that fucking clueless?

That's a really unfortunate turn-of-phrase. Is the writer aware of what Trojan horses are in the tech world?
I wonder if he's aware of what Trojan Horses are in the real world.

That's an awful lot of assertions with nothing to back them up, whatsoever.
It's almost like you're shilling for the government.
I don't know why they don't just electronically tag everybody.
Then if they see a bunch of people congregating together without permission from the government, they can round them up and send them away for enhanced interrogation. I mean, if you're trying to hide something, and meeting other people, you're probably a terrorist.

Not enough voting machines for your precinct? Too bad. Wait in line for 8 hours.

No, it wasn't perjury. He asked the judge for a definition of sex. That definition did not include oral sex.
He did not perjure himself.
Funny, I was told in about 1980 that we had about 40 years of oil left. Presumably that was based on the known reserves and usage at the time.
Have you seen a stripper with her knickers full of dollar coins? It's not a pretty sight, let me tell you.
Umm, this isn't BlackBox's software. BlackBox.org don't make voting machines. If anything, they oppose them.

That's about all we can say about it.
