  5. Bro, do yu even read? The law is clear.

    (a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

  6. Re:Hard to believe on Newly Published WikiLeaks Emails Show Clinton Campaign Communicated With State Department (go.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    The relevant law is: 18 U.S. Code 1924

    Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material (18 USC 1924) is something that Hillary would likely have been charged with if she had not been protected by her cronies. The fact is, they allowed her claim that she didn't know what she was doing was illegal to stand in as absence of a clear motive. I find it really hard to believe that someone who has spent 30 years in the Federal Government has no knowledge of Section 18 of the criminal code! David Petraeus plead guilty to that charge and got a little probation and a $100,000 fine. For one count. However, Hillary (and others on her staff) might be guilty lots and lots of instances.

    She and some staffers may also be guilty of 18 USC 1623, False Declarations Before a grand jury or court--which carries up to 5 years--for lying under oath about said intent to commit the crime of removing classified documents and storing them. There is also 18 USC 1001, Fraud and False Statements which might come into play if she lied. Really, I think it's quite embarrassing as a citizen to live in a country that claims to practice justice in the court, but clearly does not. When you get passed all the political spin and commentary and drill down to the actual criminal code, it is hard to imagine a reality in which Hillary and her staff did not get convicted of SOMETHING. Let alone not even indicted! It just goes to show how deep the corruption goes.

    Here's TFL (the fucking law)

    18 USC 1924
    18 USC 1623
    18 USC 1001

    True, *you* probably don't need a professional grade laptop.. But photographers use the SD card every day. IT professionals use the escape key and ethernet jack every day. If you don't use either of them, you're probably not using your MacBook in a professional capacity. Writing emails and surfing Facespace doesn't count.. Apple really should be calling these "MacBook Air" or "MacBook Lite" because they are missing all the things that made them "Pro".

    It's one of those things that draws knee-jerk reactions. Tensions are so high in some parts of the USA that merely mentioning facts can draw racism flags. Anywho, back to the names.. Imagine your red haired, Norwegian neighbors (who incidentally migrated generations ago and have been speaking English for generations) decide to name their son Golgarth on the fly for no other reason than because it sounded Viking.

    I could easily reiterate what others have said, but one thing I have not heard mention of... Myself and many of my colleagues run Linux on our desktops because it is a geek move. Let's face it, as engineers, we are all trying to out-geek each other. Running Arch Linux with an esoteric desktop environment like Enlightenment at your desk adds several points to one's geek factor.

    Arch users run the latest kernel. And all we have to do is a simple "# pacman -Syu" after it hits the repository. If you want to go out of your way to run old kernels (Debian, Fedora, etc), go for it. I prefer to be a little more current.

    Now that the source code for Mirai is out there being used, is there something that can be done to tackle the spread? Call me crazy, but perhaps a modified version could go out and actually change the passwords on these insecure IoT devices to random strings? Sure, the owner would lose access to the device..
