It's not like the illusion of privacy I had in pretending the NSA couldn't get to my HDD data had much basis in reality anyways. I figured it was mostly because I hadn't done anything that got anyone annoyed enough to actually care
I'm going with Poe here. Why wouldn't have god made the earth like a jigsaw puzzle? It's the most efficient method for making up seemingly-random shapes that cover a surface. As for the 5000 years versus 165 million years, just because you can't count doesn't mean god can't: he's omnipotent, you're not, get over it.
I'd have thought that it was pretty much axiomatic to anyone that's spent any appreciable time surfing the intarwubz that e-fame is horribly fleeting. Andy Warhol's 15 minutes in web 3.0 terms is down to about three, and you've already wasted two on the ads. During this entire evolution, many people that have been paying attention for a bit have mentioned people like Klein, Manning, Drake, Thompson, Gilmore, Rivest, Schneier, and many other Names any security researcher ought to be intimately familiar with, only to get the electronic equivalent of blank looks. It's only a matter of time before Snowden gets a similar treatment. This is why when an electronic activism opportunity presents itself, we have to act NOW, not when we get a round tuit, because it will be long over by the time your round tuit gets there.
MIT researchers can become wet using water. Seeing through things by using wavelengths that penetrate them isn't particularly new, and one of the selling points with wi-fi is that it can go through walls Non-news for nerds, stuff that natters
Given the recent revelations about the NSA dragnets of literally every single email, call, text, and pretty much any other form of electronic communication, it's pretty much a given that the best way to attract the NSA's attention is fog a mirror.
no, but any sane person that had a phone stolen would immediately start the process of having that phone cut off, thus running the stolen phone out of minutes
You're not paying attention to all the "how I got my phone back" stories, are you? A substantial portion of phone thieves ARE using them, at least until they run out of minutes, that's how many of the "I got my phone back" stories work, the thief uses the phone to take a pic or something, it dutifully uploads the pic to their tumblr or whatever, then the victim does some rudimentary geolocation of the pic, and calls the po-po
And the room that McCord, Sturgis, et al were found in was the public reception area and not the actual offices where planning went on in (it's not as easy to tape locks open of personal offices, the person locking tends to check those doors for actual locking function more often, as they have personally valuable stuff in them), so that logic could have been applied there as well.
Let's see, this puts him in the same ethical category as E Howard Hunt, Charles Colson, G Gordon Liddy, Virgilio Gonzalez, Bernard Barker, James McCord, Eugenio Martinez, and Frank Sturgis. What could possibly go wrong with that?
This is an exemplar of a phenomenon that I'm really beginning to despise in higher ed, the "do I NEED this?" phenomenon. Frankly, you don't NEED any given class to do most jobs out there. To be precise, your College diploma will not prepare you in the slightest for any of the multitude of skills you actually need in the job market nor is it designed to do so.. It is designed to prove you have the flexibility and desire to learn anything that comes across your plate. Picking and choosing what's actually relevant to your presumed career path is doing the exact opposite of this. How it impacts ME in a way that makes me despise it is that this trend is also transparent to College Professors, who now have no time to actually teach those that want to learn because they spend most of the semester fielding questions like "how will I use this as a McDonald's Fry Cook (or whatever the student laughably thinks they'll be employed as after graduation)" so they can't answer the basic "where can I find out more about this fascinating bit", leading to students like me getting so frustrated at the crap that they just give up on lectures. My honest advice to you is "if you don't think it's relevant to your interests, don't take it and petition the requirement off, you'll save a lot of people a lot of hassle that way"
They did that once, ISTR the mileage (kilometerage?) sign on I-15 between Blackfoot and Pocatello, Idaho being in both Miles and Kilometers in about '75-'77ish (I was a bit young at the time), but since it was during the Carter administration, of course it HAD to be undone because fuck Democrats. I can't remember exactly when I-15 signs were changed over to strictly miles, but I think it was the late eighties. So until we get over this two-party backbiting festival in DC, it does us no good to even try to do good things.
My bet is that the actual investigation targets "who got this data" rather than "who does this data show cheated on their taxes". Mark my words, it'll be along the lines of "we can't use this data in court, so we HAVE to find out the source, so we can have them testify", only when the source comes forward, they'll find themselves jailed and the tax evaders will either never get prosecuted or make a sweethart deal.
Surprisingly, much of the US Navy's job is to advertise, cf the Great White Fleet and various other show the flag exercises, it's just this time the shipbuilder foolishly thinks that the advertising being done is "buy our stuff" and not "do you REALLY want to mess with us?" I'd not be surprised if the Freedom hasn't already got orders for the North China Sea to "advertise" to the DPRK and is just taking Liberty Call to replenish and resupply before they go.
Anyone want to bet that Microsoft will price themselves right out of the $200 atom market? I'm betting that $200 will be right about the price point for just the OS, so unless Intel wants to give away their atom touchscreen lappies, they'll remain android, or possibly get a linux option.
You know, I was mostly joking, but jebus christ almighty, did you have to get so....stupid? Yes, you can 3D print solid titanium, via the EBM process, and encase this in a polycarbonate sabot to provide the lands. Primers, we doan need no steenken primers, that's why they made electricity, and the caseless propellant can be made with inkjet/glue powderbed (fun fact: most larger caliber GUNS [using the naval usage of gun, meaning "stuff you can't put to your shoulder and fire"] already use a sort-of caseless system now, as in the powder is actually depositied in slurry in the case and dried to a semisolid, which, in a weird way, could be described as "all at once powderbed")

You mean a strain gauge on the winch? Yeah, NFW anyone could set that up
I think we found out Steve Ballmer's /. account name

Now can we consumers sue BOTH of them for material misrepresentation? They both forgot the C in "crap store"

place "anyone who was serious" on a bell curve of thieves... Extra bonus, if it DID get shipped abroad, the NSA would directly have arrest power
no, but any sane person that had a phone stolen would immediately start the process of having that phone cut off, thus running the stolen phone out of minutes

The NSA is listening in on everything anyways, why aren't they arresting phone thieves when they use the phones?

that's why you use caseless ;P
