Damn! I have mod points, but I have already posted in this thread. But thank you for being the first one with an on topic answer. I may just hunt you down in other threads and mod you up.
The funny part is with all the invective, I don't think that most of them realized what the question was. They think it was "How do I keep my e-mail secure..." And I too would like to know the answer of what countries do not allow easy datamineing fishing trips.
No doubt... I to am interested in this. Yes, I know it is no substitute for good encrypting, and I know how START/TLS works and so on. But being able to avoid a data mining fishing expedition should be easy low hanging fruit.
Oh yes... The Tea Party loves Obama... I think the difference is that we have them all the time. They did not until now, because it would get you shot.
If your country is an exception, count yourself lucky.
Count yourself delusional, more like... But if they think they can actually pull this off, the KGB is delusional. Encryption is out of the bag. The software for VOIP and e-mail is wide open. (FOSS) All it will do is drive people from Skype to Jitsi. (Or similar)
I actually know quite a lot about them. I support all of them every day. That is why I do not want one. A more expensive plan with a privacy raping and security nightmare, on a platform that will be unsupported in 2 years, all so I can shake my hand to find a new restaurant?
...people will never learn that there is no privacy on a networked computer running proprietary software or on proprietary networks.
FTFY. Those of us who use FOSS are the only people who have a shot at actual privacy. Note, I say "we have a shot". You can still make thousands of tiny mistakes that will screw it up. The cell providers are another story, there's no privacy for anyone on the proprietary networks available.
I was gonna say... There is privacy on mine. But it takes a lot of work.
You should also uninstall the internet, because almost all ads use targeting. This story is pointless.
Yes, but Google does not know my gender, or everyplace I go all day. Smart phones are nice, but things like this could actually kill the market. For the most part, they are still an emotional impulse buy. If that emotion becomes fear and disgust for too many people...
I am so with you. I would love an Open Source GTA clone. Think of the plot the mod community and open sourcers together could make for it? And I was so excited about your like until I got it....exe? No Linux? Sigh... I guess I should quit my WINEing...
It's the mainstream media who have usurped the meaning of hacker to mean someone who exploits vulnerabilities in systems (without permission.) I say there's a better term: criminal.
1. Dev companies can be contractually obligated to add DRM.
You can be contractually obligated to blow baby rhinos. Personally, I do not sign those kinds of contracts. If you do, don't complain about the taste in your mouth. Also, don't be surprised if I avoid your breath.
The definition of a word is what the general public agrees is the definition of a word. We are not the general public. Thank God! So "hacker" means kooky and unattractive nerd that uses attractive but useless user interface to do amazing things and can bypass any security on any computer like device at any time.

You are more subject to interception, but not datamining.

Havenco closed in 2008. No sealand hosting now.
And fixing one, often means you need more drugs to fix the other... http://science.slashdot.org/story/11/04/09/0151206/Mercks-Drug-Propecia-Linked-To-Sexual-Dysfunction Doh!
Day?
Really? Are you not tired of this yet?
Do I mod this funny, insightful, informative, or flamebate? Tough call...
Oh yes... The Tea Party loves Obama...

If Google etc allows ssl, and everyone uses it, and the emails themselves are encrypted, then the governments have a bit of a problem.
Does that help? If the endpoints do the encryption, the path does not matter.
Under the Law, ignorance is no excuse..
Oh yeah? Then explain politicians!
But several were closed after selling off assets. Kinda the point of a technology incubator.
They could be using it because the IT guy is a paranoid privacy advocate, and chose it for the entire company. Like at my company. :)

Yep. 30 years ago. Can we get past it yet?

I just hope that by they we agree on how to pronounce it. Key-Tar? Kay-Tar? Ki-tar? Cutter?
