Just curious is anyone knows whether MS can claim copyright in their master key?
Probably not. Copyright protects creative expression. There is no creativity involved in the creation of a cryptographic key, so copyright would almost certainly not apply.
"no creativity" -- you clearly haven't read some recent copyrighted books, or listened to some recent copyrighted music (and I use the term "music" rather loosely here)
Manning was a serviceman that took an oath, if that is meaning less. Snowden is not convicted, He can't be pardoned yet.
Wrong and wrong. Maybe you're too young to remember Ford pardoning Tricky Dick .
Security clearances are independent of any alleged military oaths. There's established law which (theoretically; in practice you just go to jail) allows people to report illegal activity that happens to be revealed in classified material.
SRSLY? A diesel/electric sub is only quiet under electric drive. The range is bupkis compared with nukes. The diesel drive only can function within snorkel depths -- so much for nondetectability.
Unicorns crashing are unlikely to cause a crash of the 2008 type. That happened because the housing market was out of control AND because housing "packages" were resold 6 or 8 times, thus creating an illusion of 6 or 8 times the amount of money existing. (In the sense that a classical savings&loan doubles the apparent amount of money available).
I rather doubt than a unicorn crash could even rival the first dotcom crash circa 1999.
Yeah,... no. The science is not settled here by any means. There's a lot of free oxygen released by oceanic bacteria and BGalgae. Further, many plants reverse the process at night, so the magnitude O2 in the atmosphere due to plants is not entirely clear. .
TRWTF is allowing any kind of "pay for a service over the phone" operation where billing is done onto the telco bill. For example, calling a lawyer (those guys charge by the minute for phone calls related to a live case) leads to a bill from the lawyer's office, not the telco. That would be allowed, but not "you can talk to this sexy [choice of self-identified gender] for $5/minute added to your phone bill."
How would we differentiate between an encrypted data stream and a video stream in a new movie format? What's the difference between decrypting vs displaying a movie? Both processes are a conversion operation being performed on a data stream.
Simple. Packet capture and look for the key exchange. I do this daily.
Dunno if you are trying to be funny or are just a complete idiot. There's no need whatsoever for "key exchange" when I send an encrypted message to my broker in the Caymans. He has the decryption software and password. NOthing but the message is transmitted.
It isn't even a matter of manned vs. unmanned exploration. The Space Shuttle was the Universe's most cost-overridden project ( until the F35 came along). The original promise was that the materials scientists would produce a monohull insulating layer. The moment they gave up and announced it would take 70-zillion separate, custom "bricks" , the program should have been shut down. Heck, it would have been cheaper to shoot astronauts 3 at a time on Sat-Vs, shoot up some payloads & return vehicles (modded Apollo3s) etc. than what it cost to build and maintain the shuttle fleet.
I just hope that enough seats flip in Congress to prevent Republicans from obstructing Hillary for the next eight years the same way they obstructed Obama for the last eight years.
Depends whether they hate blacks or women more. Could be a close call.
If you still deny that the fundamental reason for Repubs blocking Obama is racism, you're just a lost cause.
I'm no fan of the Clintons, but she's not any worse than the 535 corrupt assholes in Congress, and just about anyone alive would be a hell of a lot better than that [redacted] that the Republicans offered up in contrast.
To be fair, the Republican Party bosses & Congressional bigwigs did everything they could think of (using the word "think" loosely) to stop Drumpf, so they didn't really "offer him up."
PS anyone who mods this anything other than "Funny" or "Overrated" needs to relax a bit.
You do realize 56% of Americans think she should have been charged?
Which says nothing at all about the validity of purported evidence, but does strongly suggest that at least 56% of all Americans are bleeding idiots. Or misogynists. Or both.

Dunno about Facebook, but Windows domain servers sure do. Not that they actually record passwords (so far as I know), but since they record every userID used in a login attempt, all you have to do is click the wrong field and enter your password into the 'name' box, and there it is, in clear text, one line above your actual userID which you presumably typed in your next attempt to log in.
Anyone care to talk about the content of the FB posts that the Israeli gov't is complaining about?
I see a lot of factionist rants and blatant exaggerations from all 8 or 9 sides in the religio-social wars going on in the Middle East, but nothing about the actual topic.
For that matter, how would everyone react if Palestine demanded that FB delete all pro-Israeli posts?

But for some strange reason marine life near the exhaust pipes dislike their suddenly twice-as-salty water.
I'd say if they don't know the difference between "their" and "there" then they should sue the college for giving them passing grades.

Pleonasm. Nice. I found that in a dictionary once, and only remembered it because it's a humorously redundant word for "redundant."
I used to refer to an excessively large number of redundantisms as a "neoplastic pleonasm." (try saying that fast 5 times)
I don't get it: is Free Will defined as ' Free as in beer' or 'Free as in speech' ?

I have to admit that I'm conflicted as to whether or not to click that link.
Not really that weird or scary ... but probably blocked at McD's anyway. Because reasons.

It's clear that for all intensive purposes the two phrases are one in the same. Thanks for nipping that argument in the butt!
So you're saying that both phrases are very unique? And that there's a concensus of opinion about that?

Yup, this.
