Regardless of whether it's twitter or some other medium, the point might be that not only is someone planning ahead for disrupting social networks when they're used to organize, but also for actively using it against the people.
Predictably now other regimes might use similar tactics when social networking is used to organize for other situations ranging from occupy to outright rebellion and rioting.
Maybe the only surprise is that we haven't seen this until now.
Have you actually read Ron Paul's writings? You kinda have to keep looking at what he actually says and not what he seems to say.
He is not against 'corporate personhood'. Quite the contrary in fact as he is defending the corporate right to 'free speech' inasmuch as it pertains to corporations being able to buy advertising time to promote their favorite lackey...er...candidate.
He's also not against regulation pushed by corporate lobbying. His 'solution' for lobbying and corruption is, and I'm paraphrasing, 'less government is less to corrupt' which is not a solution at all just more bullshit that sounds good but doesn't actually FIX anything.
Auditing the fed is a good idea but ending it would be much worse than having it. Look at things before the fed existed where boom and bust were not the exception but the rule.
The people in power in the US are very happy where they are. Your amendment will never happen without revolution which seems equally unlikely to happen.
I'd also like to see the end of the electoral system and for everyone to get a vote.
Your best strategy overall is to educate your people not to open anything they're not sure of the source of. Doesn't fix this specific announced vuln but is effective against zero day trojan vulns in general, particularly ones that haven't been announced, rather than this one in particular. Also doesn't help if the source of a legitimate file is compromised of course but that applies to everything up to and including OS updates.
Anyone know of a product to generate fake emails with files that report back to your own server just to see which employees open 'anything'?
Because it's a racist comment and implies that Indians are incapable as a people of writing secure programs whereas there is no shortage of programs out there that have bugs that have nothing to do with Indian developers.
Putting it underwater might make sense where putting it above water has been blocked by NIMBYs...
I don't know if it's accurate, but at a guess it seems that underwater equipment might be able to better survive storms and / or large waves.
Another guess might be that for a given surface area hitting a blade a water wave would have more force and thus be able to generate more energy than wind. That being said water is thicker than air so perhaps water wave energy is not as easy to capture as wind energy.

So long as the TSA is buying shit made in the USA the people who own the companies making such shit will never let them be underfunded.
There are already such apps:

Licensing provisions do not apply anywhere as often if the person is going to practice the trade as an employee.
Nurses, doctors, lawyers, accountants and who knows how many others - all require licenses even if they are only employees.
What employees are you referring to that would only need a license if they were offering their services directly to the general public?
Is comparing android market vs. the apple store applicable for an idea of how popular the phone OS is without taking cydia downloads into account?

Both of which were in the US last time I looked...
If my backyard includes all the empty territory we have in the US that's already been used for nuclear testing in the past then sure, why not.
Encryption is a good solution if you are in control but if others are putting your private data up (ie UK NHS) without encryption...
This is just one more example of cost considerations overriding any other consideration, including security, privacy and control.
Government or hackers, either way you should assume your data is compromised.
It's not the manager's decision. It's the owners / board of directors / 1%. The manager is just another one of us.
sounds a bit shaky to me...

www.foxnews.com is also a web site set up for US citizens to read propaganda and it is still up as well.
Surely we can still blame Israel for bad Israeli policy in the Middle East though.
His first words "The idea is to be very low cost..."
Are you certain this can't be done in the US or could doing this in China just be one more example of outsourcing?

Forgive my ignorance but can Acrobat (and eventually Flash) be forced to run only in a sandbox for any given OS ?

No that was the US government...
