Except that using the electricity is functionally equivalent to using the restroom these days. Everyone carries rechargable devices around with them. I frequently plug in wherever I see an outlet.
For this very reason we enforce real IPSec for VPN traffic and GPG/PGP for file transfers with clients and service providers whenever possible.
Sadly, banks seem to be the ones who aren't paying attention, but several of our largest customers only handle data GPG encrypted.
Its worth noting that after sending a user a GPG-encrypted file (symmetric) with the instructions to install and run GPG (including a phone call for me to read them the key I used out of band), they end up often adopting it themselves because its really not hard to use very good quality encryption.
Having access to the source means you *know* how your data is stored and you *know* if the data even can be shared.
The source code can show you that the keys are handled client-side only, that they're not leaked in any way, and that the server has no way of giving away your data. You can also see that the keys are generated properly, not from a list or with reduced complexity. These things are all valuable data that you've decided to trust someone to do or fatalistically believe don't matter when they do.
Example: My IPSec encrypted sessions have keys that are only on my computers, and I know this, because I use OpenSWAN.
Microsoft says they're doing 3 but you have no way of knowing that they are. Why do you believe them? We have good data (recent NSA leaks, etc.) that companies suck at strong encryption. Sometimes on purpose.
No, Microsoft *claims* to do something nobody could object to -- you're missing the whole point of the statement.
If Microsoft told you they were implementing security and it turned out they were using DES with a key hashed from the word 'Scroogled', would you be pleased? What if they're using good encryption but the keys never rotate? What if the keys rotate but they're on a fixed loop of 16 keys? How would you know?
As an everyday non-programmer, a casual user wouldn't know the difference either way. If however that user is on a fully open source operating system, they at least know that -some- others using that system have had a peek under the hood and still trusted it.
Welcome to the good fight -- the FSF has been at it for a long time, and now the EFF realizes that you can't have freedom without knowledge. That is after all why we believe in a free press in the west, right? Whether the press lives up to its obligations or not, the idea is that without full disclosure, people cannot make good decisions.
I'm confused because you brought up discriminatory laws around abortion protest when it has nothing to do with the article or my response except being barely linked to my comment about protesting in general.
More importantly, the key logger can also just download your CC # data from the first online transaction you make while its active and no longer need your passwords.
Each word in a dictionary attack is still better entropy than a single letter in the alphabet (1 out of [words in dictionary] vs 1 out of 26). Granted, that password is still only 12 pieces to grab, its still better than a 12 character password in terms of entropy by my math.
For my clients I recommend 16 character fully random passwords. ymmv.
The charge here is that you stood in front of someone's house and didn't let their friends in.
Lets at least understand the analogy... no *damage* was done to the home by the criminal in this case. The upgrades were just to prevent the same thing from happening again.
Legally speaking, I'd put this down as "wrong" in the same category as repeatedly ringing someone's doorbell all day to annoy them and not letting people into the driveway by standing in the way.

I tried learning LISP for its own sake and realized I had no actual use for it.
I love the idea of learning a language just to expand my programming vocabulary theoretically, but in practice its just dull.

I prefer ASSEMBLY to broken Makefiles ...

"Sir you're not welcome here, and I'll be forced to call the police if you don't leave."
Its not hard, and it doesn't require 911.
Poorly rated extension cords piss me off ...
Why do you believe a commercial building has regular household outlets on the outside?
How often do you really drive only 8 miles?

I do ... obviously. Its a great trick, and it helps track spam sources too.

Would you be more impressed if NASA said it? http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sp_ht.html#void
Yes, lets bring up abortion because its incredibly controversial and one of the only situations that has its own laws for protest.
So basically, same analogy but people standing in front of an advertisement or news window ... yawn.
A DDoS should be punished with community service; its no different from protesting a store you dislike and making it hard for customers to get in.

That's what good lawyers are for -- and this guy obviously needs one.
Just read Nasa's version, okay? http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_sp_ht.html#void
Jeez.
