The US does still have a base on Cuba, but i doubt anything would come of it though. Small town in the USA would have been fine i think. He would be boned if he ever had a DUI or something where the police were going to fingerprint him.
No, it hasn't been declassified. Can the people who wrote the papers openly talk about them? Nope, still classified. When the docs are declassified then the contents can be openly talked about. Not before.
Every ISP says that. If you want commercial options you have to buy a commercial connection : / That being said i've ALWAYS hosted a website at home. It has never been blocked or filtered. But it also only gets like 2 visitors a month. So who cares.
The environment that lets you build from source is still there. The real downside is most package managers don't let you do that in a managed way. Gentoo started as source only and has now built out the ability to install binaries. But most Gentoo is still built entirely from source, including kernel.
That probably wouldn't solve the problem though. Even in total war it's rare to kill unarmed civilians. Bombing whole towns seems to be how most civilians die in total war. The justification for bombing whole towns is to remove the town's ability to support a local army (via food, shelter, or materiel). If there is no army and just a ramshackle militia then i don't think that would justify the removal of a whole town.
I think you are part right though. The thing that struck me with most of the Iraqi people is their ability to remember events of the distant past. I think they would have respected us (the US) more if we just smashed the guard and destroyed all of Saddam's palaces and left the country. Message sent. Most of their infrastructure would have remained in-tact and less rebuilding would have been required. The power vacuum would be replaced by someone near Saddam (or Saddam himself). It was pretty clear that Saddam didn't have usable weapons of mass destruction during the invasion. The minster of truth (or information? can't remember) was frothing at the mouth about using chem/bio weapons on all of the invaders if they took another step. Then the Military would take a step and see what happened. He would just get louder and bluff harder. Only nukes would matter anyways. Chem/bio is nearly useless against the main US body. Anyways, it would have accomplished what we set out to do. The whole thing was about weapons of mass destruction. Saddam said he had them.. he didn't (not the deployable version the world fears). So go home. Now that being said, i'm certain the Shia are collectively happy we stayed to occupy and rebuild. They overtook the population minority Sunni in government. The pseudo-civil war they had was pretty ugly and having the US in the way helped them for sure. Guarding the Iraq borders prevented any outside Sunni from interfering. Anyways.. rambling here
If that's the case then you can immediately publish a working exploit as soon as they say they already know about it : ) I think they'd lose that fight, lol
Yeah, it would be easy for my friends to "dupe" me. I trust them.
How do you know that...has it been reported? How is **coming out publicly** and revealing their identity protect them??? The original coming out article talked about it. It created a clear division between himself and his family. So that it doesn't affect their jobs.
I gather this nonsense statement (National Security is THE trump card) is intended to lend 'significance' or 'weight' Yes. National Security can prevent the case from being open.
the point is he could have and chose not to and it was a **DUMB CHOICE** b/c he can never come to his home country again This is really what we're arguing over. I don't think it was a dumb choice. We're also making the assumption that he really is in Hong Kong too. We'll see how this all plays out, in time. Always fun arguing with you : )
Hey there : ) I feel like you're using me as a punching bag right now. I know all about our government shenanigans. You don't have to dehumanize someone to kill them. You don't even have to think about them, if you want. Or you can imagine yourself snuffing out a life before it has been able to fully contribute to the world.. and cry about it (which is healthy). Just because someone is/was a soldier doesn't mean they live with their head in the sand. I think you'd find most soldier's blaming the civilian government for being the real warmongers. We are just supposed to go where you point : )
Hired killers is too limiting. You need to add medical aid providers, trainers, builders, and general helpers to your list : ) Otherwise it would be a terrible mistake to send the US Military to assist after earthquakes, tornadoes and other natural disasters, lol.
You can love your country and still point out all the fucked up shit going on with it : )
What we aren't in agreement about is about Snowden being an idiot or not. He probably knows the capabilities of his previous employer better than we do. National Security is THE trump card in the US right now. I have no doubt that he considered doing this anonymously. His family also works intelligence though. We don't know all of his reasons for coming out publicly but it could be to protect them.
I think they were just bad apples. My company put down riots at Camp Bucca twice (the USAF was in charge of the base). They somehow cancelled our mission up north and got us moved to Bucca permanently (blah!). Anyways, i spent several months working detention at a facility larger than Abu Ghraib.
The only people that treated the detainees like subhumans were the typical homophobic/xenophobic bunch. They would have done the same to American detainees, i'm sure. Thankfully, shitty soldiers are the minority in a good unit. Good soldiers just treat them like normal people. Blah soldiers are indifferent.
Abu Ghraib was a huge embarrassment for the US Army. Not because of politics or anything like that. But because we had brothers and sisters who were that cruel and stupid. We were all guilty by association. We wanted to kill them. They were no better than the Sunni who were killing the Shia (and vice-versa). Hatred fueled by ignorance.
The US Army is supposed to have one thing that the guards in those prison scenarios don't have. LDRSHIP: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage. The Army Values. That is the thing that is pounded into everyone's brains since the day they sign up. So not only did those bad apples break the law, they failed the Army core values. That goes for everyone who knew what was happening and didn't speak up. Personal Courage is supposed to cover that one. The US Army wants soldiers who refuse illegal orders. It wants people who are intelligent, thoughtful, tough, trainable, and can quickly murder someone when required.
I'm biased, lol : ) Fuck those guys, glad they are in prison. You're right though. Power corrupts.
How long do you think it would take to figure out who released the docs though? His previous employer specialized in finding and tracking people. Please argue without name calling. You don't know what my background is.

Would building a system strong enough to protect secrets count? Because that's what they did.
I thought the Egyptians had Warehouse 2?

Lol, after upgrading to 22 it is worse : /

Agreed. It's as if web development has slipped by them?
Yeah, seriously! It's worse than trying to make a website with this html stuff that fits every sized monitor on the planet. (that's the joke)
With android you just use the compatibility library and you get all the newest features.. even on a phone several years old. https://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support-library.html
lol, that does not look safe.
