It isn't "vastly" reduced. If you actualy read the report you linked to, you'll note that they say many of the concerns are more likely over exagerated.
As for roving wiretaps, yes they can tap your phone, for the purposes though of investigatign your friend. Any evidence they collect on you, unless related to the crimes committed by your friend are inadmissable in court.
No one may be listening in, and then there is a problem yes. As such, it appears the system needs fixing, a single cell line on these things seems like a bad idea anyway.
They don't nessesarily have to blow the surveilence to respond, they can switch the call over to the company, or they can have someone trained to respond in the same way respond.
Last I checked, if you ask for help, law enforcement is required to provide help, especialy if not doing so would prevent you from getting help
Indeed, Cnet said it was confirmed, and if you read what the guy at @stake said, he said those he spoke to did not think that Apple would. And as people quite clearly pointed out, it was an anonymous paraphrase, or IOW, nothing more than hearsay
Criminals are for the most part, stupid as fuck. Ever read darwin awards? Or for that matter the local news? How many people get caught each year for robbing a place they frequent?
You do have such a right, assuming my front door was public property. However, my front door is private property and as such I have a right to charge you with tresspassing.
Ok, to start, you will notice that first in order for this surveilence to be activated, they need a cout order. IOW they need a warrant. That makes this surveilence no different than a wire tap or sitting outside your house with a mic aimed at your window. If they hae the warrant, they can monitor.
Second, this seems overly paranoid on the safety issue, given that if the FBI is listening in, I'm sure they would be able to hear the person they're tapping scream "Holy FUCK!" before he hits the semi truck. And I highly doubt the FBI is just gonna sit on their ass wondering why they aren't getting any more sound.
I don't know what slashdot you're reading, but I see articles all the time about the latest Intel or AMD processor. And then I see it again when some kid with too much time on their hands overclocks it and supercools it with the colling unit of a freezer.
Just recentyl there was a bit on the Gateway plasma TVs.
And lord knows everytime someone in the linux community farts, you can be sure to read about it on slashdot.
Even the money spent on putting bullets or bombs into bodies isn't always spent on just making a weapon. Beleive it or not, the military doesn't want to kill civilians. Nor does the government for that matter. A lot of money is dumped into research to make safer weapons that not only don't kill our guys, but don't kill the wrong people either.
Who's freedom are we talking about here? The consumer or the producer? Should we trample the freedoms of the producer to save the freedoms of the consumer? Or should we allow the producer the choice, and the consumers to decide whether they will use that producer's product?
And in other news, the primary job of a soldier is to be a soldier. Yes, they train you to kill people. Maybe that's because that's the purpose of the military, to wage war.
I mean I realize this is the modern military under preasure from the flowerpower movement, but when it comes down to it, the military has one primary purpose and that is to wage war.
BTW, all that money you're bitching about being spent in the military, ever consider a breakdown of where that goes?
Salleries, food, shelter make up a huge chunk of that.
Then there's research and development, which suprisingly enough, even though it's research into how to kill more efficiently, it still benefits modern society. Or have you forgotten GPS, radar and jet engines? Perhaps you don't like using the internet? You would be truely suprised how much of the money spent on the military is going to something other than putting bullets into bodies.
Ok, so they beleive they have the best products and services so what are those? That's the question that was being asked. What makes HP different? What makes HP the people we want to invest money into? It's a simple question, but apparently there is no answer.
So it's all about changing business environments to respond to needs faster and more efficiently, or essentialy, one of the goals of every business out there. So what exactly do we need to hire HP for to tell us this?
You can most certainly strike out on your own. However, you need to terminate the contrac that you signed first. You signed the contract, you have an obligation to your company. If you want to stike out on your own, you have an obligation to quit working for your company.

That's actualy quite easy to understand;
go to title 18 of the US Code and go to section 2332e.
Cross out the string '2332c' (that's what strike means, to remove) and put '2332a' in it's place.
Cross out the word 'chemical'
What was so hard about that?
That has more to do with public health, and decency laws.

That would work great. For about an hour and a half. Then the battery would die. And then they'd be stuck with nothing.
Where did you get this mindless drivle from? They still need a warrant to do the tap.

Try again, you still need a warrant. Might I suggest reading the PATRIOT act at some point?
Wrong. Try reading the actual PATRIOT act for once. They still have to get a court order to do taps.

Untill you're on the road for a day or two and can't get to an outlet.
a) How many of those deaths are from the other side?
b) Do you have any idea how many civilians would have died only 20 years ago?

Not really, it would seem more antithetical to freedom to force people to open their code. Under the current system, one has a choice.

That's odd, cause I'm pretty sure you're using the internet, which was a government development.
Chances are your cell phone has some form of a GPS locator (or another device you own does), another government development.
I'm almost positive you use federal highways, take a guess who made those.
Have a drivers licence? Who runs the DMV?
Those 12 years of schooling you got for free as a kid? Guess who?
Given that the numbers are for the year 2002, and that jobs are a lagging indicator of economic performance, I would say they both are.
People deperately need to learn this lesson.
