Sadly due to biology, there is much more money to be made in the newest flavor of potato chip than the newest crop of fresh carrots. Sellers sell what people want to buy; our bodies desire high calorie content to the point that far to many people are addicted to sugary, fatty, and salty foods. Then there's caffeine and smokes...
I'm sure that if Jesus had simply handed over his GodPhone to the Pharisees, they would have realized he was not a threat to them and let him go in peace. At least then they could have asked the Man upstairs using Facetime.
The "bad guys" will still find that classic abandoned warehouse across the train tracks and plot their evil in the veil of darkness. Perhaps we should require spotlights and mandatory cameras over every square inch of the planet too?
I do not trust big business with the ability to de-crypt my data any more than the government. Both entities are not interested in protecting you, but their bottom lines and political interests. The right to privacy means privacy from anyone!
Given that logic, it may be cheaper and simpler to just use Slashdot to communicate all government information from now on. It may actually result in better decision making as all the AC's can provide valuable feedback guiding our trusted leaders to a glorious and prosperous future!
You are assuming the average Slashdotter's house is "cleaner" and quieter than the average theater.;) This is a rather dangerous assumption at best. Not that i am implying your dwelling is in such condition by any means.
I have twin toddlers... at times I dare say, the theater is cleaner - and not for a lack of trying mind you.
I for one find myself too addicted to the crappy popcorn... must be the chemicals... as for the rest, I wait till the movie is almost done being shown in theaters so I can get into a showing with only 3 other people. As for the gang-bangers in the parking lot, the second amendment.... Ok, just avoid rush times.
Give me free popcorn and Coke, give me front row seats, remove the schmucks that talk or text all though the movie and a front row parking spot in front of the building... I'll come.:)
I've long since accepted the fact that a cell phone is no different than a tracking tag. We are all animals in some giant research project. I just hope I am one of the lucky ones that gets a prize!
But sadly I feel naked without my phone... and yet I remember a time when I never owned one and being stuck in blizzard in a ditch was a much scarier thought - but I am still here. Maybe we don't need the gadgets as much as we think.
I did not say what he said was right, but his comments for better or worse do get people talking. In a time where political correctness silences too many voices, even a "crazy voice" may be a good thing right now.
Yes, I was thinking that thought. You can't control what other people send to you, thus there is always the risk of spillage, but you would think that given the nature of the job tile, by default any official State Department email servers should be *protected* as if they were holding TS level data, as much as they can be residing on a network accredited at a lower classification level... of course this is no good if the before mentioned server is not used!
The most important thing is user training... even a lowly private in the army w/o a high school diploma is told, not to share anything that could compromise a unit over unsecured methods. It takes either a very special level of STUPID or a very high level of illegal to lead someone with her education and knowledge to do this. My vote is for illegal, she wants to keep her deeds hidden... plain and simple. No amount of security can fix the human element, but I know the government has a serious problem with security: lack of motivation (typical government employee) + lowest bidder earning contracts (poor quality products delivered) = untold problems. Seems like we are screwed on all sides.
I'm pretty sure Russia (a nation ran by perfect gentlemen), will only hack when requested to do so... after all we live in a civilized age right?
Trump knows darn well Russia OWNED that server, the damage is done, he was not the one who screwed our nations security by standing up that server, or the one that used it.
His statement is for shock factor and is merely drawing attention to the fact that Hilary has still gotten away with this whole thing. It seems we must call upon our "enemies" to expose the dirty laundry of the "untouchable".
What if by exposing those emails, we discover that Hillary has in fact crossed so many lines, that there is no doubt that allowing her to be president would make hacking our governments email seem like posting a secret family chocolate chip recipe in comparison.
This is why a person holding the office of Secretary of State should always use an e-mail server protected at a classified level for any official business. You never know what seemingly trivial information sent or received could be a security risk if disclosed. Perhaps Hillary's favorite LOL cat videos pose a risk to some secret CAT Intelligence Agent...
Slashdot Mirror
They already do my friend...
You own a cellphone, tablet, laptop?
They got us covered.
That's why all personal portable electronics are banned from classified government spaces.
I recall something about throwing stones in glass houses not being conducive to one's health...
Much more good doubleplus gooder
Too late, Hillary just sent the email containing the precise plan!

Well then, in that case, I for one, with bulging belly, gladly welcome our new salty fat overlords!

David did kill Goliath. Cortana must have a weak spot too. Just got to find it.
***A day later... KB6660666 is released, "fixing" a newly discovered security vulnerability - the dead giant grows a new head, and rises up again....

*Makes mental note: no more driving 30 over the speed limit, back it down a tad, say -- around 20 over.
Check!
I'm glad they did not hide this fact from consumers, lest it blow up in their face.
I chose to stay in-state and reaped the full reward of those benefits. I'm glad I did it.
*Re-watches EVERY zombie movie made while frantically taking notes
I'd be more worried about how it ends up for the dead.
