I believe we will see most of the coverage tonight trying to paint the shooter as a supporter of one side or the other on this whole stalemate deal. Fact is, unless he managed to shoot a few legislators, it won't matter anyway who he sides with, since he's obvious nuts.
I've fought my share of car fires and worked my share of car wrecks, and I can tell you quite honestly that most car accidents do not result in fires. In fact, I've fought far more fires in cars that were either intentionally or unintentionally set by occupants, occurred while driving, or occurred while parked than I've fought car fires resulting from wrecks.
It's a pretty fundamental difference, but that won't make any difference to the totalitarians who believe that questionable analogies are legitimate and binding legal arguments.
I think it's adorable that you think oversight on a secret court counts as actual oversight. It's like pretending the NSA must be doing everything legally and within their appropriate legal and constitutional bounds because of their theoretical oversight within the executive branch (who are basically not allowed to know what the NSA is up to anyway, if they'd understand the jargon they might explain it in).
Depends on your definition of win. As best I can tell, Lavabit has won. Even if they lose the case. The feds will just write it off as what I'm sure they see as "necessary collateral damage". Thankfully, Lavabit is returning that favour.
Anyone who does not assume this is a fool. However, the CAs only verify identities. They don't actually have the ability to decrypt it. It's like how you can sign people's SSH key without gaining the ability to use their key.
Wait, you're calling people ill-informed for hating something many of us have tried? I tried Ubuntu, and hated Unity. I don't like what Canonical is doing to it in general with the new store-like system. And I definitely don't like the unresponsiveness of Canonical when they face practical and reasonable opposition in these kinds of changes from their userbase.
That said, there are things I do like about Ubuntu. It's LiveCD is fairly functional for limited use (even though I hate the interface, usually all I need is a terminal and browser when I need a Live Linux), its installer is good, and its selection of keyboards for system-wide use is one of the broadest I have found, as many do not have an easy option for those of us who prefer a system-wide (including console) us altgr-intl keyboard. The number of packages available is good, and the ability to switch to a new UI is ok.
That said, I always find myself missing portage and hating the way services and configurations are run. So even with the handful of perks and the ability to circumvent the worst of Ubuntu's problems, I always find myself back in the Gentoo/Funtoo world.
I think the first step is to accept that people have bodies beneath the clothes you normally see. This is a much broader problem than just in photography. Our society needs to stop freaking out when mothers breastfeed and when people skinny-dip, and stop worrying about whether people see our bodies based on extremely arbitrary territorial lines. In fact, a lot of the attire worn that covers only such areas is more questionable than actual nudity.
Or, like most abandoned government programs, they figured out that they could do it easier some other way and did that instead. Like that time when they retired the SR-71 fleet "without replacing" them...except for spy satellites that made them obsolete.
I'm not sure you bothered to actually understand the situation before you made any of your posts. We're dealing with a facility that was heavily damaged years ago and you're trying to imply they have no surveyors? As TFA notes, they have been keeping the level lower due to this being a known issue. A rainstorm made it overflow.
Building on a slope and building something level are not mutually exclusive. Just look at any hillside home. The ground may be uneven, but the home is still built level. That can change with shifts in the land.

Pardon me if I don't seem surprised.
It's a distinct possibility.
Well if he's not Muslim, he must be a double secret Muslim. Surely you're not unaware of how the propaganda machine works!

the proper answer is "an expensive car that isn't as good as the Porsche 918 Spyder."
The only fundamental difference is the cojones to actually tell the government exactly where they can go.
Always. The more sensationalized this can become, the better Apple and Nokia will get from the courts and/or settlement.
Based on the assumption that the NSA didn't slip in anything funny when they were helping create SELinux.
If the douchebags who ordered these barriers erected get to use hyperbole, so do I.
Sure it would. It just wouldn't be publicly bought and sold as a service. And it would probably disguise its transmissions as funny pictures of cats.
And shuffled. And with non-numbered pages.

Wait, where did Fairchild Semiconductor come into this conversation?
A different paraphrase, but this one's often attributed (though many such attributions to him are questionable) to Yogi Berra.

I think the American audience is having a hard time understanding that this isn't terribly different from a kiddie-pool worth of water.
Exactly. And that the area has, for the past couple years, been less than an ideal situation and is still in heavy disaster mitigation.
