Edward Snowden committed no crimes against justice, he committed crimes against a police state, a big brother state that is and was becoming worse by the day. Edward Snowden did not steal anything, he liberated the truth. His continued freedom is proof that many others can achieve the same acts non-violent acts against a criminal state and work together to bring it down and put the minority that distort and corrupt democracy the world over finally behind bars where they belong.
Edward Snowden does not deserve clemency, he should not be charged in the first place. Until such time as he is called as a witness to testify against those who committed real criminal acts the world over, then he would be doing more harm than good by returning. His continued freedom is proof positive that you too can work to bring down a corrupt elements destroying you democracy, your freedom and your rights and do something that has been celebrated since time immemorial escape to fight another day. Each and every time Edward Snowden appears in public free to challenge those criminals is a victory.
Want to know whether the NSA is spying in US politicians, easy, get the congress and the senate to legislate immunity for any politician who currently supports the criminal activity of the NSA to come forward about extortion by the NSA to force that support (obviously they wont be saying anything until the evidence against them has no power over them).
Which is exactly why cheap easy access tends to solve it own problem, evolution in action. They die happy and peaceful (except of course alcohol) and we don't suffer from drug related crimes or pay the extreme cost of imprisonment in order to destroy their lives to save them from 'er' dying happy.
Almost there, pretty bloody obviously cheap isn't the issue, profitable is the issue. Basically the corporations involved set out purposefully to short circuit the requirement for domestic production of military supplies in order to inflate profits. You bet your bottom dollar those items sourced from China where not charged at anywhere near the cost of production, so let's guess the profit margin on those items, 10%, 100%, 1,000%, 10,000%, I'm betting somewhere between 1,000% and 10,000% in order to be able to pay the bribes for the approvals.
Hmm, a get rich quick scheme. Now how could a con artist/politician manipulate campaign donations in bitcoins. Let's see, perhaps claim them as campaign donations at the lowest value during the period they are held while actually selling them at higher exchange rates. So basically treating the bitcoins as free loans for currency speculation. Now would a right wing politician do that, let me guess;D.
The real question is then, how easily innovative do you want the assassin bot with questionable legal responsibility to be. By questionable of course I mean, is the original manufacturer responsible for the insertion of the applicable code, is the owner responsible for the insertion of the applicable code, is a hacker responsible for the insertion of the applicable code or is an unmentionable government agency which shows wilful intent for criminal activity responsible for the insertion of the applicable code. The applicable code in this case be the code the redirected the robot from it assigned task, and targeted it a person instead and hitting them over the head with a blunt object until that head became no longer a recognisable object to be hitting with a blunt object. Of course that's quite a leap for robotics yet that question remains who is liable for a robots actions and how do you prove, especially when the government of the day runs a government department as a criminal organisation specific with the intent of breaking into and taking control of computer systems (a benefit of the doubt question).
Michael Hayden, former 'moronic criminal' director of the National Security Agency, publicly declares the NSA intent to return to it's criminal roots and actively engage in electronic warfare upon all other nations of the earth. Seriously how stupid can this guy be, "It will take years, if not decades, for us to return to the position that we had", that is what this fuck wit publicly declares, the US government and the NSA's intent to engage in crippling the security of others countries computer networks, including finnaicial institutions, medical records and to wilful infringe upon the privacy rights of every other citizen of every other country on the planet.
Caught as the very worst of computer network criminals, and the arrogant shit head doesn't apologise but goes on to whine and publicly declare war upon every other countries network security forces. How great an embarrassment can this guy become before his own government lethally shuts him up or does that have rock solid protection of a megabytes of extortion data to protect him, his perverted ego and his mouth.
Fuck un-Safeways. People are not slaves even when they are workers and they are by law entitled to their opinion. Fuck un-Safeways and anyone else that would use economic extortion to steal people free speech rights. Double fuck double speak, stealing people's rights never ever protects other people's rights.
You also forget to mention that some tablets come boxed with an accessory keyboard of one form or another. Hmm, if buy a keyboard to accompany your tablet, have your just fooled yourself?
Not to be too picky but one should always be careful between belief in God and belief in a particular religion. One could say that life is a dimension, as real and valid as any other, that there is a measure of life energy and a balance associated with consuming it or contributing to it and that the whole of life could be considered God, rather than any single being. Being one step up from chimpanzees does not equate with understanding the full nature of life, especially when we still fail to understand something as obvious a gravity (don't define my God for me, especially when I make no claims about it's nature).
So lets separate primitive religious works often written by con artists to gain personal wealth and power, these works targeted at the desperate, the ignorant, the fearful, especially when these works were designed to target, well, peasant's from thousands of years ago with truly limited understanding of, basically, anything. That these works continue to be abused by the very worst amongst us, pseudo religious politicians whose only real interests are the very deep pockets of our richest psychopaths, is really rather embarrassing and shows how far we have to go (are they to blame or is our laziness with regard to participating in the political process to blame).
Ignorance is never the fault of the ignorant, it is the fault of those who would lead them there as well as being the fault of those too lazy to lead them away from their (genetics is also a problem but that then again is our choice as to how it is managed).
Far more realistically how much damage was caused by a drunk with easy access to a gun. Forget terrorists, forget anarchists, even forget trigger happy law enforcement, the worst results are always achieved with easy access to alcohol and guns. Want to control that then 'bight the bullet' enact some sensible gun control laws and substitute chilling out marijuana for inhibition killing alcohol.
Now that will stop far more problems than further ramping up the police state ever will, unless of course you are really masochistic enough to want more taserings, beating, random pepper spraying and of course all out empting of magazine into your chest. Fear has already done way to much damage to citizens rights in favour of police brutality and everyone knows it, so they keep trying to drive more fear to keep the power that people are starting to finally demand be taken away.
Google plus screwed the pooch with forcing real names and trying to do too much creating excessive complexity. Then of course really being privacy invasive and forcing the google plus real indentity across their whole portal offering was just that bitter sour cherry on top and pretty much the end of google plus.
Reading the article he was just one member of the team. It seems like he has fallen on his sword and taken full blame to protect the school administrators and other members of the team. It also seems like investigators are suspicious of these.
This of course is the inevitable result of pushing too much competition in research, where the reality is negative results and as necessary and positive results in achieving the final solution but right wing knee jerk thinking demands only positive profitable results.
When the leading target is political extortion, I don't want anyone to have the keys except the voting public. The reality here is the NSA was actively seeking to target as many foreign politicians as possible in order to extort compliance in favour of US military industrial complex partners, creating as many traitors as possible in order to cripple any country that competes in any way with US for profit interests, screwing over those countries citizens, regardless of the harm produced, in favour of US partner profits.
They have long since stopped being a US security organisation whose main focus was meant to be to secure US IT infrastructure and have become an all out criminal organisation who goals where more power for the organisation and it's partners and who declared war on other countries economies and democracy. They have become the enemy far worse than the terrorists they pretend target.
I might just have something to do with the morals of a typical US judge. You only have to look how the US supreme court twists the constitution inside out and basically making stuff up to get to their extraordinarily corrupt rulings. Apple is losing, as a fad product with enormously inflated profit margins driven by manipulative marketing, their customers are going to end up being mocked more and more for paying too much for too little. Apple is suing to ensure it can continue to rip off their customers for as long as possible, youch (having that apple logo in your pocket is going to become real embarrassing).
Quite simply because for the majority of users this will make synchronising their computer with their phone much easier. Why sync your computer with your phone, the bigger screen, keyboard for data input and much larger storage space. So they will 'er' might use the windows boot for specific applications but likely for the majority of the time, say synchronising their phone and updating info et al, browsing the net, social networking, emailing et al, they'll use their Android boot. M$ are screwed, their choice is to kill their Nokia purchase by adding in better synchronisation for Android or continue to pretend Android doesn't exist on windows and do nothing.
So where would you fit the typical psuedo celebrity whose public image is an imaginary work created by public relations (PR=B$) specialist who crafted it to market and promote crappy products. Are they a person or an imaginary caricature of a person.
Oddly enough to in order to gain copyright protections in court for those fake caricature of psuedo celebrities, the public relations types would have to prove what kind of narcissistic arse holes the typical pseudo celebrity really is versus the crafted public image (of course destroying the value of the crafted image). So thing many a psuedo celebrity has managed to do on their own, when their ego starts make them ignore their public relations handlers.
The project managers greatest application of skill is to manage the necessity of themselves out of project completion. The best project managers have very successful projects whilst seeming to do not very much at all, the worst are of course the exact opposite, failed projects whilst working flat out all of the time. I liken it to the story of the woodsman and his axe, the one that was always working flat out and never had time to stop to sharpen his axe (the smart woodsman plans ahead and regularly sharpens his axe and thus doesn't have to work near as hard and yet gets more work done).
Whilst Snowden runs around free he is providing a solid message to other whistle blowers, it is possible to expose corrupt US government actions and survive. This if of course the main reason they target Snowden, not so much the criminal activity he exposed but emboldening others to similar actions. All those many others in similar positions need to spend some time looking into the mirror and decide what their heritage will be and what they will future they will be providing for future generations. When the government lies, cheats, steals and kills as is a threat to the democracy they are meant to represent, don't be a gutless coward or a servile minion, expose the crap out of them and bloody get away with it and that last part is just as important as the first part because it will encourage others to do the same. When enough follow suit, then it's the government criminals who end up behind bars and the whistle blowers who are free and celebrated as the heroes they are.
A sliding cover does adhere to the KISS principle because it is a matter of choice. Default out of the box would be open, user has absolutely nothing to do to make it work. Now a user that is concerned about their privacy simply has to slid it shut and only open it when they want to, choice, get it. So the sliding cover only affects concerned users and provides them with the assurance of a confirmed infallible block to the camera, which for them obviously would be default shut. For the oblivious idiot who never changes it from the default open, no problem, no complexity and no worries, well at least until the naked ass appears on the internet after watching TV in the buff.
If the end user is concerned they want the manifestly observable nature of a manual sliding cover or other means of visibly securing the operation of the camera.
Weakening encryption, means it weakens it for every single attacker not just the NSA part of the portfolio is defending and protecting those institutions and individuals that will using that encryption, so how it's something, totally and utterly idiotic and mind bogglingly stupid to do. Seriously what kind of shit brained professionally paranoid idiots would weaken security to make things easy to hack, when they are meant to be defending and preventing those things from being hacked. I surprised one section of the NSA didn't put out an assassination order to the CIA targeting the other section of the CIA for treasonous weakening of US security infrastructure.
Far simpler for the manufacturer to wake up to what is going on and provide a sliding lens cover and that means you, you big screen smart TV designers.
I would and always will give precedence for individuals comments over corporate public relations. I read them quite simply as ex-insider frustration, nothing more and nothing less. These people are not burning bridges, they are expressing what would need to change for them to return. Once you have left a company why maintain that companies Public Relations (PR=B$) charade, why not critique it.
You whole point of being subservient and servile to corporations once you have been employed by the them is pathetic. FUCK EM, hate the company you work for, if it rocks your boat, publicly tear em a new one, whether you are currently working for them, you have quit or you are already working somewhere else. Gees, what the fuck, corporations are not gods we must fucking worship.
Why give it to Google. Everyone knows exactly what the solutions is, really quite simple. Switch to universal health care, all that's needed is name and social security number (even the homeless need health care) and it is all bloody done, even you typical tea bagger could program that;D.
