    Bingo!

    When you buy hardware/software, that's exactly what you're doing: Hiring experts.

    Storage appliances should not allow anonymous access to sensitive data by default.

    To understand how the Internet really works, all we have to do is examine the TV revenue model.

    The carriers are supported by subscriber fees and advertisers. The only part the consumer plays is to purchase the necessary hardware.

  7. OK, enough of this.

    You don't set the boundaries of Executive Orders. We The People have already done that.

    That's fortunate, because I have not chosen you to represent me.

    Thanks for playing.

  8. My assertion is that you don't get to establish the boundaries of Executive Orders.

    That stands.

  9. You can SAY "Fuck the Executive Order," all day and yet it exists.

    You STILL don't get to define the boundaries, do you?

    Are you saying that an Executive Order is a veto???

  11. It's not for you to define the boundaries of Executive Orders. That's the jurisdiction of the legal system. If the Executive Order were not legal, it would not exist.

    You cite no evidence to the contrary.

    Forget the meat of the Executive Order.

    Presidents are, by law, allowed to issue Executive Orders.

    If you don't like that, campaign to change it.

    Snowden is not releasing documents. He doesn't have the documents. He can't stop the flow.

    That doesn't work. A kid can easily get hold of a credit card (some carry one all the time) and sign up.

    As long as they don't make a purchase, they can see the free stuff. For some, that's enough and, anyway, it doesn't "block access."
