Considering how are going laws in US, you could end facing years of jail for each page you send to any of those printers. And you could be the one picked to serve as an example for others.
The problem with chinese products is that you don't know if they will try to get your data or not. Thats the advantage of US based products/services, with them you are sure
Backup and sync sounds a lot like sharing with a lot of devices/parties your files. If you lose your local information, and there is no one online to sync with, well, you don't have it back yet. And as with sharing, if you don't get the file seed (i.e. the.torrent) you should not be able to get it, the decryption process could depend on a private key/passphrase, so even knowing how is the process you should be safe (unless is used this universal decryptor)
Is not a catalyst, it is consumed by the reaction, so no matter if the amount to convert a glass of water is dropped in the ocean, will produce the same amount of hydrogen and acid.
Maybe they mixed imperial with metric units in some part of the process. At least they could had enjoyed to get back home and say "Honey, i shrunk the proton"
They had Meego, free and that could teach a few user interface lessons to ios, android or w8. They prefered to take the windows anchor and sink to the bottom with it. With a bit of luck, android, sailfish, ubuntu mobile, firefox os or even bb10 could eventually be installed in their hardware in a future.
They simply will disconnect them from the net. For now the connection is open so they can inject even more malware (including the ones targetting people).
There are easier approachs. And if well that approach could work now even for government agencies, the user side is also open to intrusion (like
Red October) and of course, is in Mega side to do things right too. All of that before even trying to break SSL.
"Responsibly" like the report of a Java vulnerability in August, that exploded in everyone's face after Oracle sit on that report for months?
The problem is not the people that find and report the problem in a way or another (and advising the users too, just because there are too many cases like Oracle). Is the ones that find and exploit it silently.
Law is (in some cases, literally) killing the messenger, if you find something that could be exploited, better don't tell anyone because even reporting it to the company could get you in trouble too. Eventually someone in the dark side will exploit it (if is not doing that already) but is not your problem, maybe is even designed that way to always get fresh 0-day exploits for the new generation of Stuxnet (lawyers are involved, you can't attribute that to stupidity)
Looks like a lot of time till something more than a sample comes down to earth, if ever. A lot should be put up there to have enough to be able to search, then have to find the ones that provides the materials to build more, and then keep building things up there to give continuity to the operation, to start thinking on bringing something down to earth, and probably that something should be more processed than raw rocks (not sure about what can be manufactured at 0g with that kind of materials that could make it profitable)
My mistake, too many keywords in headline. If was for a campaing for a particular party, opening the code could be a signal of good will about wanting an open government, but is up to them to open the code unless they based on existing code that requires to have it open or closed.
If the code was done by the government, the US citizens should own the code, after all they paid for it directly or indirectly with their taxes. And if well to US citizens could care or not of getting the code on how to schedule internal meetings in some random government agency, they are directly involved in the code that makes them citizens with right to vote and not just monkeys doing a vote simulation every 4 years that dont affect at all the already choosen result.
The problem is not that they can. As they can target everyone, they could pick specifically the people that causes them trouble (and maybe pick others to not be so obvious). Or maybe not the visible leaders, that maybe could have cash enough in a way or another for a good defense, but the followers (or take their houses anyway).
There is a balance, but beware of absolutes. Killing could lose meaning regarding some potential technology advances (two easy examples from sci-fi are Neuromancer and Star Trek teleporters, but probably there are more everyday examples). And moral, laws and ethics in all man history (even today) had been pretty flexible putting killing as something right.
Regarding speed, think in i.e. "stealing" digital goods, as in making copies of something for your own use without making those goods unavailable for the owner, could put you in jail for many years or be sued for millons (and it happened already, several times). By now morals and ethics are adapting, while laws are clueless or used as a form of opression. Maybe Paul Graham put it better.
That is the wrong direction. Technology is making deep changes into society, and moral, ethics and laws should adapt to the new reality. Trying to deny that all changed and try to force them will cause problems.
You had unlocked your house door. Now, who is the criminal? The one that checked that the door was unlocked? The one that checked that the door was unlocked, make sure that it was actually able open it, and told you about it? or the one that checked that the door was unlocked, entered, stole something, and left unnoticed, taking note to do another visit later?
In this moment seem that just the adviser is the criminal one. Under near future sopa/pipa/global internet surveillance/etc laws in effect, could be all 3, and also the innocent bystanders that just passed in front of your door, not even checking if it was left open, specially if they said something "inappropiate" in social networks.
Being intelligent don't ensure your survival. You needed a lot of intelligence to build atomic bombs, and see what could had happened.
Anyway, intelligence is just part of the equation. Culture is another, an important one. How much different should be a neanderthal intelligence to be distinguished from one of us if grows with our culture? And maybe more important, if with our culture is more or less like us, at least in the way of thinking, will be falling in the same kind of moral problems like growing kids on labs?
The Swiss Bank Account model also prevented tyrants, dictators and (in government/power positions) thieves to stole, take advantage, extort, etc you for having that money.
With information in the open by all accounts for governments (at least, the US one, and its agencies, and the people that "finance" both), and the problems lacking a secure alternative, the potential for abuse is high. As it make it difficult to be used for piracy, you should see what else is interesting to put elsewhere in an very secure way with anonimity for the people that access it. The wikileaks insurance files is the first example that comes to my mind.
Too bad that for US, the great firewall is like the one in this joke. Most of internet is in, or you access it thru US, and even for things that are outside have enough power in a way or another to show down them remotely, how they did i.e. with megaupload or a lot of torrent sites overseas.

Authorities weren't aware yet. Now he probably will be jailed till next century, along with Randall Munroe.

He is talking about imaginary property. If someone copies and modifies Stuxnet, it would be against its license?
"Stealing" imaginary property, doing copies for no profit or private use: Lawsuits for hundreds to millons of dollars, or years in prison
Actually stealing billons of dollars in taxes: no consequences
Putting world economy at stake: bailout
Clearly we got it wrong. Stealing is not the wrong thing, just doing in small to zero scale does.

Seem that the BIOS is locked to just MS products, no matter if all the hardware is supported under linux.

the company will make sure that WebRTC may not be as close to real standardization as its proponents might argue.
There, fixed it for you.
