Sounds to me like it's a statement by someone that doesn't understand the broader implications in how collected data over time can be abused either. The American FBI proved that with its extensive files on people of-note that it wanted to find something, anything that could be used against them, even if that leverage was based on something that was not illegal in the then-present, was not illegal in the past, or was illegal in the past but not illegal in the then-present.
We as a society have changed what is and is not acceptable. Judging past actions and attitudes through a current lens will always yield a negative view, and thus the practice needs to be discouraged when it's not appropriate.
Plus it's getting harder to avoid those kind of masquerading link attacks while still enjoying the cross-site linking capabilities that the web was designed for. I attempt to keep Javascript, Flash, and other things turned off, but it's getting harder and harder to look at web content without those things.
However, depending on what you initially do, there are limits on what you can continue to do. You have a lot of lattitude, granted, but whatever you do must be in the moment. If you stop your defense and start again you run the risk of being prosecuted as that woman that fired the warning shot in Florida was going through before saner heads prevailed.
Is a dedicated fiber pair going to fall into the same regulatory structure as copper service though? Broadband, the word itself, generally means something running on an existing service using frequencies that are outside those that the regular service provides. For DSL that's POTS. For cablemodem, that's regular cable TV.
For a long time, DSL operated at least nominally in common-carriage, mainly because DSL literally came over the same copper pair that one's telephone (which already was common-carriage) was provided through. I had a DSL account through a differnet company than my local phone service- I had one small charge for the DSL-line, and a separate charge from the company whose IP network I was a part of. In my case I did it because I was able to get a near-business-grade setup (5 usable static IPs, control of reverse-resolve, no ports blocked so I could self-host e-mail and web, etc) at a consumer-grade price.
Given that Cable had no such rules, the phone companies that played by the common-carriage rules were hamstrung early on, until, like Cable, they started working with the mindset that DSL wasn't bound by those rules. I was grandfathered-in with my DSL arrangement until I moved, then they wouldn't offer me the connection to the ISP anymore, I had to go with Qwest. So, I switched to cable instead, and they lost-out even more as I also cancelled my landline and took the number to a cell phone. Had they continued to operate as common-carriage, I might STILL have that DSL account with those static IPs and still pay the phone company for the privilege.
Rumour has it that the flooded basement rooms, which are currently inaccessible, house some strange and dark secrets.
If you mean obsolete computer and radio equipment, filing cabinets, metal desks and chairs, some safes that were left open when their contents were removed, and a break room and possibly a billet for some staff, all of it corroded to the point that it can't be removed intact, then you're probably right.
I've been into a Titan II missile silo, there's a museum outside of Tucson, Arizona that houses a demilled missile, demilled fueling equipment, and the full control center with its original furniture and crew barracks. Everything not directly related to launching the missile still works, and even the equipment works in a sort of drill mode. Pretty neat stuff. It didn't hurt that when all of the Titan II sites were stood down, they brought all of the good stuff to this particular silo site so that it could be set up on static display.
If I remember correctly, in the case of Ms. Lords, she was able to obtain good state-issue ID, if not Federal-issue ID (passport? Read and article once, long time ago) and that basically ruled-out prosecution of anyone associated with the adult pictures and film industry as she duped the government in addition to those employers.
Thank you for doing your part to turn what is general news that I can get coverage for on every single television station (even the music video station!) and finding a way to make it nerd-appropriate.
...how much effort on her part has been put into finding out why she's been questioned at customs and so thoroughly searched. From what's been shown so far, those that don't fight against what they perceive as injustice against themselves are basically guaranteed to repeat that injustice, while at least some of those that have fought back against such injustices have had some success through he courts in ending it and in potentially helping to end it for others as well. Some of the recent rulings on the no-fly listings would dictate that legally fighting back seems to be more effective than just complaining.
French author Jean Raspail wrote a novel, Camp of the Saints, about a third-world invasion of the first-world. In part the invasion was successful because the first-world powers weren't willing to sink the massive ad-hoc flotilla of ships with millions of refugees onboard, but even though it was far-fetched in some ways, the concept that millions upon millions of people would be willing to risk it all to leave where they are now, where they have no future and possibly no means to survive, to force their way to somewhere else that might have more opportunity even with the new struggles, is already reality. We already have tens of millions of undocumented migrants into "western" countries, and even in developing countries we see people moving around as they feel they have no means to survive where they started out.
The trouble is, there's no solution. We can't go in and dictate to third-world countries how to live; they won't cooperate with us and we can't even come to consensus on what we would do. They won't self-determine in ways that are beneficial the population without some form of discrimination, and they won't self-determine without corruption. If it were easy after all, it would have been solved already.
That's along the lines of what I was thinking too; don't bother trying to change an orbit that's almost circular and out past Pluto in order to send it to Mars, that's crazy. Instead analyze the orbits of things that are coming relatively close, and divert those things to Mars.
If Phobos and Deimos are captured asteroids that are destined to fall from orbit and strike Mars, then perhaps this isn't as far-fetched as some want to argue.
I'm curious as to what effects, if any, were measurable in the Martian atmosphere. Science fiction authors have speculated on the possibility of continually crashing comets into Mars as a way of increasing the water content and thickening the atmosphere of the planet. In some ways it's far-fetched, but on the other hand it's probably the cheapest way to add water to Mars..
Having been acquainted with someone that has in their possession a vehicle that has been in-default for the better part of a decade, squirreled away in a backyard now after it spent considerable time in a relative's garage so to not be in plain view while the repo company was still looking for it, I'm not really so against this for high-risk buyers.
And in this case, if the police asked the dealership for the location of the vehicle without demanding it and didn't ask for a means to track the vehicle themselves, it might not make the evidence inadmissible. The dealership might be open to a civil suit by the criminal defendant for violating the terms of the contract, but he'll be rather busy for a long time and likely wouldn't be in a position to press a claim.
I expect that it probably was actually, as it would be necessary to share the information with a towing company to recover the vehicle at a minimum. Since they have to have the ability to share anyway, they may as well make that clause as nonrestrictive to themselves as they can.
There are only so many places where always-on 12V power could be tapped into, and it wouldn't be that difficult for an electronics nerd to figure out what circuit the draw is on by doing a DC amperage test at the fuse panel(s), or to check the few places that could tap into the wiring harness before the fuse panel.
If I didn't find something starting there, I'd pull the front kick-panels, the glove compartment liner, and the lower dash knee bolster on the driver's side, and look for things that don't seem right. Since there are only so many ways to tap into a wire quickly and cheaply, they'd probably use quickconnects of some kind and those would stand out relative to factory wiring. Behind the A-pillars, I'd check the wiring for the trunk light. Just about everything else is switched.
On a really modern vehicle it's even worse in some ways (for the person hiding an accessory) because just about everything, both switches and devices, runs back to the body control module, so one can't really tap off of any of that stuff and must go back to the fuse panel.
Don't be surprised if a large number of people still disagree with you unfortunately. I made the same argument regarding someone taking naked pictures of themselves using Internet-connected devices, people still got mad that I was victim-blaming. Didn't matter that the victims put themselves into a position to be victimized through their own poor and easily-predicted choices. Some even got mad that I brought it up after the incidents. I pointed out that I'd brought it up last time there was a round of leaks, before this round, so I don't know exactly when they want it brought up.
Because according to Apple, they don't design for the past.
On the other hand, the future in content is murky. Old contracts governing content are already having problems (look at music swaps in TV shows when they're released DVD for example) and it's going to turn into a giant steaming pile before it gets better.

Pffft. Amateur conformist. I get my slashdot by telnetting to port 80 and requesting it by hand!

Tor can be used for good and for evil. How do you go about attempting to design the features of Tor to maximize one and minimize the other?

I wonder how this will affect Google Fiber?

No, you describe Dorks. They're the me-tooers, the AOLers of the bunch. They have all of the negatives without the technical acumen.
