They are on a fishing expedition driven by political motives. They hope the public release (otherwise they wouldn't have leaked it) about this immunity deal will get someone else to "flip".
Clinton can't be charged with anything related to classified information because it wasn't classified at the time. She broke the departments rules but nothing she did was criminal. It's not enough that congress wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on half a dozen investigations but the FBI has to waste a bunch of resources as well and nothing at all will happen. It is such a joke.
Intel should be praised for the extensive Linux development they do. There is a lot of code in the kernel that makes their hardware work that Intel wrote themselves. That's been rare in the past and they deserve praise for it.
You forget that the CIA makes millions smuggling drugs for the cartels to fund their black ops that congress will not pay for. Where do you think Noreaga got all his drug money and connections?
If drugs weren't illegal where would the CIA get it's slush funds from? Trafficking slaves?
I seem to recall they were also the same rights-loving assholes that locked a guy in a cell for 3 days without food or water and he wasn't even charged with a crime!
The energy storage they talk about with these batteries is not what you think. The batteries are expected to have 80% of their capacity remaining, and they are typically placed in shipping containers and hooked up to large industrial or commercial buildings. There is NO company planning to recycle batteries into consumer homes. Your information is very faulty.
Utopia was terribly managed, the commission was played like a fiddle by the telecom consultants they hired. They had no independent experience on the board and had far too many cities hoping to turn this into a profitable agenda used to offset costs rather than a utility and their hired consultant told them exactly what they wanted to hear to keep the billable rates going. They wasted millions of dollars.
I'm not a millennial numb nuts, don't assume I am.
The millennials are voting in presidential elections. They are the sole reason Obama won the election and not by a small margin the second time. In the 8 years he's been president their numbers have grown significantly. About 80% of them vote democratic currently and they are swinging every presidential election with each successive election being swung by higher margins as more reach voting age.
Have you ever wondered how the Republican pollsters could have Romney winning when Obama beat him by a Landslide? Because the republican pollsters deliberately excluded the young people that said they were going to vote, just like they had for the last 30 years. But the young people actually do vote, they just don't vote in midterm elections.
Lol, i can't tell if you are joking or you think you are serious. If you think Trump is going to do anything other than lose the election if he's nominated you are smoking some very good dope. It isn't a secret that the millennials are the first young generation that's voting, they just only do it on the presidential elections. They drastically outnumber both the boomers and GenX and they will have total control of the political system in about 10 years.
Trump is a property developer. When you look at your local politics and see corruption and backdoor deals it's because most of your local politicians are property developers. If the republican party is foolish enough to nominate him all the stuff he's said and done over the years is going to come out and it's going to be very very bad.
The whole script that checks for adblocking thing is easily circumvented. This is an Arms race that the ad companies cannot win because your computer is being asked to process the data and present it and it become trivial to write scripts that will report back display of the ads while completely ignoring them. All the can do is write ever more complicated scripts to check and all the rest of the internet needs is a single person that reads that script and figures out how to circumvent it.
Scripts blocking content to ad-blockers is just a fad, it's a battle they will rapidly lose if they decide to use it for more than informational purposes only.
The meteor would need to be at least the size of a fighter jet to be trackable. Beyond a certain size it won't even register on the radar because if radar tracked everything down to the size of small finch it would be overwhelmed by positive signals. A large meteor would almost certainly hit the tracking radar but the objects are moving so fast that by the time they notified anyone it would be over. But most meteors are of the size that they won't even register. The main point of my post is that most meteors don't hit near populated areas, as a percentage of the earth surface the entire USA doesn't even register beyond a single digit percentage making a rare event even rarer.
When the planet's surface is 60% water the meteors are going to hit water 60% of the time. As a practical point of view most of the planet is devoid of human life when you take into account the areas like Siberia, the deserts and all the water, that the odds of an meteor hitting a populated area is staggeringly unlikely.
Ad companies are routinely doing drive by malware infections. It's precisely this lack or review and certification of ads that is their problem. Until they are willing to pay editors to review and approve ads they will continue to be abused by ad companies and the only solution the consumer has at that point is the nuclear option. The very existence of autoplay video advertising and malware loaded ad's is direct evidence of their problem.
When the ad's go back to editorial approved ad's hosted and run by the companies providing the content no on will be able to block the ads. But this will mean the companies accepting the advertising have to take responsibility for the crap advertising they accept.
The minimum data point on these models is 10 years, and the expected temperature increase over that time period is about 0.07 degrees centigrade. You need very accurate temperature measurements to get that level of accuracy in an average.
Here's a secret for you. Republicans aren't opposed to "big government". They are opposed to certain kinds of "big government" but love other kinds. The idea that Republicans want small government is a misnomer perpetrated by the party. Hell, the republicans were the ones that couldn't hold to the sequester spending cuts. They were begging to violate the agreement in last years budget to the point that they gave Obama almost everything he wanted so they could give Defense a bit more money.
They want to brute force the password/PIN not the encryption. There is a very significant difference between the two things. If the terrorist is like most other people on the planet the FBI can run one of the hacker password lists over the thing and they'll be into it in a day or two. Very few people use unique passwords.
Doesn't really matter if someone other than the FBI caused the password reset. The fact that the phone was powered and accessible from the outside network breaks chain of custody.
When you are investigating crimes that involve computer data the first rule is you NEVER operate on the actual data, you make copies and work on the copies in a secure environment. To preserve chain of custody the first thing the FBI should have done after acquiring the phone was either immediately disable wireless and cellular (if they have access) or to power the phone down immediately to prevent outside tampering. Nothing on the phone can be trusted or admitted in court at this point.
I'm astounded the FBI screwed up this bad, they even have Faraday cage boxes with power for situations like this where they can keep the phone powered but block all wireless access.
They don't need the phone to convict Marguez, going by the press reports he already told the FBI everything they need to convict him. He did what most people did, he talked to the cops and they talked him into confessing, though he didn't realize he was confessing (probably thought he was apologizing).
All data on the phone is suspect because it's been altered. From an intelligence perspective (as in CIA) something you found on the phone is corroborated by other sources it might be of value but it as a sole source couldn't be trusted and anything it revealed would need to be corroborated by at least 2 independent sources (it could have been tampered with to make an otherwise single source of data appear more valid).
But this is the FBI doing the investigation and the only reason they want to look at the "encrypted" data is so they can verify if there were other actors in need of prosecution and the phone would be used as evidence for warrants and potentially in the prosecution. The FBI is not an intelligence agency, they are a law enforcement agency. The point of bringing up the chain of custody issue is at this point the data is of little value in any future investigation or analysis because the chain of custody has been violated and any data retrieved from the phone is potentially false at this point you couldn't even use it as a basis for a future search warrant because of the chain of custody issue. As a result even if the FBI could retrieve data it can't use any in any investigation, warrant or prosecution. So why do they need it so bad that they are demanding apple create software?
The only one that would fail the bar exam would be you. A violation of chain of custody means the data on the phone has been altered and can no longer be trusted to be genuine. All the defense lawyer would need is a letter from Apple saying the phone was altered (the password changed) while it was in the police's possession and now everything on the phone would be suspect.
This is precisely the reason when the police seize computer data assets that they do not do any work on the existing seized assets, they make copies and run their analysis on the copies because the minute there is a change in the data the defense has a violation of chain of custody and grounds to have any evidence immediately dismissed because it was potentially altered and can no longer be certified as created by the accused.
Would you trust blood evidence if the police claim it's the sample collected but the label doesn't match or has been altered from the one applied at the crime scene? Chain of custody is a big deal, it's the first thing any lawyer (including those right out of law school) would pounce on if it's been violated.
Much of the security costs of SLC 2002 were picked up by the Military. Due to 9/11 being only a few months beforehand the Military deployed significant assets within the state. I'll personally never forget the 3 fully armed Apache Attack helicopters that basically hovered above Rice stadium during the entire opening ceremonies. Nor will I forget the military deploying military radars, missile batteries and other assets all over the hillsides surrounding the venues or the Humvee's and light armor with.50 machine guns that were deployed at the entrances to some of the venues or even the fully armed national guard members that paroled many of the venues, athlete villages and party areas.
Had the American Olympic committee had to pay those security expenses directly it would likely have bankrupted the games. But coming within 6 months of 9/11 attacks the deployment of those military assets made everyone at the games feel safer at least it did for me.
I thought that was obvious. But this little detail would present the government in a VERY bad light. To put this in perspective, that change in password would make anything found on the phone inadmissible in any trial as it indicates the chain of custody was broken.
It will be interesting to see how the judge reacts to Apple's revelation that the only reason the government is locked out of the phone is because the government changed the password.

Deserves to profit? I think not. He deserves exactly what the market gives him.

Nothing like a quote from the Heritage Foundation. Might as well get a quote from ALEC or directly from the Koch brothers themselves.
