Imagine Apple builds iPhones with a back door. That phone will not sell in any other country, right? If Apple wants to sell to Japan, Apple will have to put a Japanese backdoor into those devices.
The Japanese will prohibit Apple from selling those to people in the US.
Apple will have a brazillion adaptations of its iPhones to make every country happy and that's just not going to happen.
We can bet our asses that some company somewhere will meet US market demand for clean encrypted phones and that company will be the new market leader.
For those reasons, and the argument that back doors are are open doors, the FBI will not prevail.
And, for what it's worth, the FBI, NSA, and CIA are subject to personnel back doors like Manning and Snowden.
First, file sharing networks is THE goddam most relevant bit of all. THAT's what all this is about. The digitization of IP blew up the revenue stream, and it will continue to do so.
What happened is, all IP looks the same in binary form. That means the tools that manipulate one, manipulates all.
You have those tools. I have those tools. The government has those tools. The IP industries have those tools. Every country on the planet has those tools.
Essentially overnight, IP is in the public domain, not by law, but by lack of friction. Digital IP is slicker'n mockingbird shit on a sycamore limb. To rephrase for Texans: It's slicker'n deer guts on a door knob.
File sharing networks have no problem dragging copies from here to there, to everywhere.
That's all we need to know. This is not your father's IP world.
The entertainment business has been making way too much for way too long. Those days are over and there's no going back.
What we're hearing from IP interests is their last breaths.
People are going to have to produce entertainment for time and material and a realistic margin of profit.
It will be good.
People will be producing IP because, by golly, by gum, it's fun.
I didn't admit to applying a registry hack. I posted that I applied a registry hack, along with a complementary link.
I have four (4) XP boxes that are doing security camera duty and all of them continue to receive updates from Microsoft. They are in the class WEPOS (Windows Embedded for Point of Service).
As to your rude characterization, we regret to inform you that the "douchebag" and "you must be gay" and "your momma wears combat boots" buttons are all nonfunctional since, oh, about the 3rd grade.
It's bullshit. I've been dealing with Microsoft since they were born and they are the worst source of information regarding practices that hit their bottom line.
Windows XP enjoys second place in market share for operating systems.
... because I have better things to do than listen to that pasty son of a bitch rattle on as if he's actually a productive individual.
Assange talks about things Wikileaks has done AFTER they have done it. He's the SPOKSEPERSON. He's said numerous times the HE, HIMSELF, has not released any documents.
This supports my theory that for any group of special talents within an organization that involves digital, there are WAY more people outside that organization than within it and that statistics demands that the odds are that that outside population has a whole lot more smart people.
There are WAY more people who are not military. Among those extant, there WILL be some people who are more talented than the military. Those people either have jobs or are making money as black hats.
The military recognizes that, but they are making a huge mistake. People outside the military are not as gung-ho on the patriot bullshit and are liable to do what's in their best interests or just for lulz.

We regret any discomfort your stupid fucking post has caused us.
... because TWC is a dead man walking.
The Internet is going to make TV as interesting as radio.
Comcast is going to have to adjust its business model and TWC is no longer a good fit.
I apologize.
I thought you were giving ME a hard time.
Then it occurred to me to look you up and you're a troll.
So my first thought was to tell you to fsck off, but, instead:
Fuck off.
... is the root of all solutions.

OK, school is in session.
1.) My Windows XP machines think they are embedded because I applied a registry hack.
2.) That's why they routinely get Microsoft updates.
3.) We can use the word, "fuck," here.
Ring ...
You are dismissed.

I saw that.
It's bullshit. I've been dealing with Microsoft since they were born and they are the worst source of information regarding practices that hit their bottom line.
Windows XP enjoys second place in market share for operating systems.
Microsoft is motivated to:
1.) Supply embedded machines with updates
2.) Convince those people to buy new stuff.
Actually, no.
We don't have boots on the ground, so we have no eye witnesses as to whom was killed.
Bombs inherently blow evidence all to shit.
For those reasons, it takes time to verify.

Law suits are the cost of doing business.
Not entirely true.
I don't use iTunes. I use surplus Windows XP machines to host security cameras around the house.
I still get updates for my Windows XP machines. I applied a registry hack that makes them appear to be embedded machines, like an ATM or stuff.

Assange is useless as tits on a boar hog.
You don 't understand Assange's role in Wikileaks. He's the spokesperson. He doesn't actually get his hands dirty by releasing shit.
Spoiled, petulant children break things and storm out of the room when it's clear they won't get their way.
Assange was not in a room, but your point's taken.
You could shut up long enough the read TFS and TFA and do some Googling and get a list of the judges instead of posting with your head up your arse.
Personally, I don't mod systemd comments up or down (I don't know what the fuck systemd is) but I do chuckle.
