A distro that uses gnome + cairo dock or similar as primary desktop is now mimicking OS X as something new and world-shaking? In the login you probably could choose to boot a desktop that mimic Windows 7, Solaris CDE, OLPCs Sugar, or KDE (whatever it mimics). And that happens in most other linux distributions too, the horror!
Wasn't just the Anonymous group the attacked ones, but other people that wanted to stay anonymous too, like political dissidents and others. Is not the War on Anonymous, but the war on anonymous, privacy and anonymity is becoming outlawed (except for them, of course)
For this to work, the site must have the same content using https. It already checks that the site have an https version to try to use that protocol, the problem happens if the https version is a blank page or have different content.
HTTPS is not a guarantee, but is a good first start. They may not have your certificate (yet), and if the remote server uses forward secrecy getting it later won't decrypt your past communications. And the people wanting to know (or intercept/fake/whatever) your communication don't end in NSA/GCHQ/similars.
Neither politicians nor big media will do anything to solve it, they need that people keeps being dumb and manipulable, so they keep voting/buying/not complaining/etc, even if the country have no future that way. Is up to the people to try to educate themselves and others to know, recognize and try to avoid their own cognitive biases, because those are exploited every day.
Considering that the grow was caused because some big parked domains (with static pages) moved to IIS, i'd say that by a very wide margin, the main use of IIS is to serve domains with just one static page.
Regarding the "better in almost every way", is almost as funny as the article title.
The functionality of the cars in front of me just to leave me free pass and turn off will surely be implemented. Think in the ambulances! and the police, the politicians, the CEOs, those premium cars, and so on. Will be a symbol of status to be able to make all the other cars to respect yours, no matter how much accidents that cause. Probably will be the main reason that will make all of this to be approved.
All the opposite, they will be required to have backdoors, and security, as with most embedded things, will be a long posponed priority (even 0day fixes will have to pass the NSA approval to get applied, or wait till get widely enough exploited). And you cellphone will be a vector to cause massive "accidents" if the car don't connect by itself to internet.
If you put that data in microsoft remote servers, in microsoft private formats, accessible for you when and how microsoft decides, and that shares it with whoever it consideres necessary or at least profitable, why you keep calling it your data?
New Zealand is playing the role of US puppy, as proved the Kim Dotcom house raid, breaking their own laws in the process as anyway the priority was coming from outside.
You won't fix US attitude from outside, and if you really want to run, don't do it to one of its own colonies.
Also is the low-hanging fruit. IE was designed to be both the local machine desktop environment and the access to internet, and a lot of historical vulnerabilities came from that design choice (in IE3 if you clicked on a direct access file, like a.lnk, it would be executed in the local machine, no question asked). Safari, Firefox and Chrome are more or less pure internet browsers, even in Chrome OS what matters is to work as frontend to internet.
But having an ecosystem with both security by design browsers and a variety of them will make future tries to go against another things that are cross browser and sometimes have problem differentiating between local and remote: java, specially by the users. And considerating the amount of critical remote vulnerabilities that are being "fixed" since Oracle took off, it is becoming another low-hanging fruit.
And, of course, security researches (at least, the non-US ones) will have an plenty to announce just figuring out NSA remote backdoors and inserted or not fixed yet vulnerabilities in almost everything. Malware writers won't announce, will just use them.
If their proposal for ebooks are DRM'd PDFs, i feel ok that they put a stronger DRM on it. It's simply the wrong approach, so making it even more evidently wrong will give reasonable alternatives (even a.txt is easier to read in all kind of devices than a.pdf that for viewing comfortably must have the same physical dimensions as the original paper book) more visibility.
Would coding in visual languages like Scratch qualifies? Everybody should learn how to solve problems and do tasks in a formal way, and see how that solution runs by itself, without their intervention, free will, or common sense. Doing it wriitting text or manipulating diagrams is independent of the core question.
Knowing how much damage people do misusing current normal systems, you really need weapons when you can intrude everywhere and be attributed to someone's else stupidity ?
who says that tv shows and movies are heavily not influenced by government agencies doings or their manipulation? You get full circle, we need to defend from what we are actually doing, or need to defend to the boogeyman we just put in front of you. And you will be convinced because you just saw it on tv. Never seen such political way to say "you are all retards and i will take advantage of that".
Because criminals (either working for them, or getting access, or just being outside frontiers, like NSA and people that have access directly or indirectly to their secrets) will not be ever be able to trigger it on normal people cars too.
Is already bad for your health (and the ones surrounding you) to drive, is one of the main death causes in the world. Adding the extra spice of carrying a backdoorl on them that you won't know when it will trigger and cause an accident will make driving very popular. And if ever someone important in a way or another dies in something related with a car normal people won't know if was a normal accident or something caused by the devices they put into.
The ones that are gambling big time are the ones that are trying to hide that there is a climate change, and investing large sums into that. Atlanta problems are nothing compared with what will come next decade. And we will all (ok, at least the 99% of us) lose.
No, the worst possible thing already happened, thats the content of the letter. If he didn't acted, it happened already, no matter if noone got informed about that. There is no "wrong" hands in this information once he went public, just correct and even more correct ones, if some foreing power gets the full files and how to access everything, still the wrongdoers were the NSA and associates. The ones that delivered it to the wrong hands are the ones that didn't went public, either by keeping it in secret, or telling to government officers that kept the secret too (and made them dissapear, or bury them in guantanamo wannabes), or telling them to hacker groups, other government intelligence groups, mafia or whatever for profit.
He deserves some attention, of course, but for doing the right thing at difference of all the others. If you want to search negative things, you have all the non-messenger ones related to this, you should find there plenty of interesting stuff.
Like a messenger. Focus in the message that is by far the important thing. Who cares how is dressed the mailman if the letter he brings tells you that your world is about to end?
He was already nominated in 2013, along with Manning, and at a time where it was very present in its implications in all the world. But the winner, if well to be respected for that, was too close to the current at that time american propaganda to sustain an invasion on Syria. What make you think this time will be different?
Slashdot Mirror
At least for what is important, 3 copies, 2 different formats, 1 offsite. They failed at the last one at the very least.

Same was said about Nokia when they hired Elop. If you think you reached the absolute bottom, some guy may bring shovels to start digging down.

Project Guttenberg is around since 1971. Ebooks (and in particular, public ones) didn't started with Kindle.

Its energy is over 9000!
Feeling insecure (specially after the NSA revelations) could be the cause of that problem.
