I wish that someone would develop a version of raid for use with servers. Have 3 VPSs in Switzerland, Russia and Holland and each one gets only a 3rd of each file. The chances of any government seizing all 3 is zero.
US incompetence is portrayed as being a victim. As if China is a threat because the US has not done anything for decades. China deserves respect for getting their fingers out of their arses while the US is too busy wasting its money invading innocent counties. If we are to talk about risk discuss the real problem if we are talking about Chinese advances have the balls to show some respect.
...as any option to the cost of Paypal or Western Union is a good idea but I doubt that it will be a safe option if it is by Google, the people who read your emails and sell the contents now what your bank transactions...
Reality does not make good dramatic headlines. This latest leak actually does not contain anything for people to get excited about. The CIA researched a lot of stuff. Mildly interesting. Nowhere is there any mention in the text of any surveillance taking place. They just did a lot of research, as they should. They found out what bad people can do, as they should. The fact that they were doing their job does and finding out how such things work does not make a good headline but imply that they are doing it and try to get a reaction..
If you have nothing to hide, why should it matter either way? Note that the article is about someone that had nothing to hide and nothing was found but he has gone through a long protracted court case with no end in sight....
If you read the story, the warrant for seizure of his equipment is valid, forever. They have no right to stop anyone else from filming or taking photographs in a public place but this guy they can harm anytime they like.
Turkey is not even in Europe so I have never understood why the US is trying to force the EU to admit them. I do wish that the US would teach geography at school.
Whether this is a good offer or not depends on the price etc. It is just a sales pitch. Buy my stuff and I guarantee it will be delivered within 3 months... Nothing special here. If he is asking some ridiculous price or if his product is not suitable for the job it is just air being emitted.
It is extremely flawed. In the US downloading may be illegal but in most countries it is a civil offence. You may be sued but not arrested.
Where I live there is no choice. There are no DVD shops for rental or purchase. There is no cable. As a US citizen you assume that I can buy something through the post because you lack the experience to imagine what life is like in the rest of the world. I do not have an address. The post office will steal anything of value. One thing they will not do is deliver it even if I had an address. This is before we get into price to someone earning $150 a month. The only viable choice is download. As many have pointed out, Netflix etc. have seriously reduced catalogues in other countries but they also do not work. If you try to stream a movie in Asia it will appear in lumps. It is far better to download the torrent and watch it.
The cartoon shows why people in the US download torrents but outside in the rest of the world where the article was written you do not even have those choices. You have the torrent or nothing. Most people are on much less money than someone in the US so they may know that people in the US think it is wrong to torrent but for someone earning $150 there is no other option. Ending torrents will not save the movie industry, in fact the opposite. Most people cannot afford to buy the movies so stopping copying would simply result in them not seeing the movie with no increase in revenue. There would however be a decrease in demand. People can learn to live without movies. As society changes, that change can spread into the lands where people can afford to watch movies but can chose not to.
I would imagine that they hope to sell said data but they seem to misunderstand the tech. Google already do that much better than your ISP can as the ISP cannot separate you, your wife, your son, your daughter and your dog. The advertisers will stay with Google.
[the U.S. "still does not have the ability to effectively counter the North Korean nuclear and missile programs."]
If they do not know that an umbrella is sufficient to counter the North Korean nuclear and missile programmes they should be sacked. The North Koreans cannot get their missiles to reach a target 20 miles away.
People targeted do not stop downloading, they get a VPN, and the downloading remains constant. If I am downloading a lot of stuff and my ISP says "we are watching your downloading" I hide my downloading better.
In the UK you get 3 such letters and then you and your family are disconnected from the internet. Collective punishment. You cannot get another connection from another supplier unless you move house. Ignoring the "educational" letters is not a good idea. I think it is particularly draconian and the idea that there is no appeal for a false accusation makes it much worse. i.e. If I use the internet for work but my 18 year old son is naughty I could end up losing my job, being unfairly punished for something I did not do.
I followed your idea and downloaded the cartoon. I have to say that it is much better than expected and recommend that you do download it. You can find a torrent on The Pirate Bay. I think we should send thank you letters to BT for letting us know about and advise them to get the spelling right in future.
Despite the trolls, I agree with you. Google do not have a reputation to lose as it is already lost. They are world famous for reading your mail and selling the content to their advertisers. They are exactly the people I want a good encrypted mail system to avoid. At best this just encourages more people to use to Google who they believe will not use encryption for the majority of their mail and will therefore provide more mail for Google to read and sell. You are not the customer to Google, you are the product and they will continue to treat you as sheep.
Reuters are supposed to be a news channel but this piece seems to be an opinion. There is a lot of talk about fake news but opinion disguised as news is fake.

Why should men have to do all the work? We need to force these lazy parasites to abandon their children and get out into the work force.

Please read the article. No child porn was found yet they have not dropped the case.
The employees of a company are on the clock and working for someone else at the same time. That may be actionable.

Strange, the UK had the first constitution written in 1215, although the French constitution, which the US constitution is a copy of, is better.

I do not think this is about doing what is best, it is just Musk showing what he can do rather than what would provide the best answer to the problem.
There are so many options. The deep sea currents between the islands etc. Why us solar tech to solve a problem that is not there with other tech?
But it is in the cloud.... It is magic... It can do everything...
