Allies, "ALLIES", we don't need no stinkin' Allies. All of it, ALL OF IT, ours, we, want it all, exploit it, burn it, the whole world, it's ours, Ours, OURS.
Seriously out of control. Looks like Chinese hardware is the least of the worlds problems. With the US Stupidity Services trying to purposefully break everyone's networks and insert back doors that only they, and their contractors, and anyone who wants to pay those contractors knows about.
Morons there is no such thing as an exclusive back door. Once you broken the security of other countries networks, you leave access for anyone waiting to exploit, bet anything you like those morons did not at all to monitor and ensure those back doors were not exploited by others. I wonder how many times now the US government has blatantly lied about cyber attacks they launched that have been discovered and then blamed on other countries and pseudo organisation like Anonymous.
How many attacks have they launched they were designed to do nothing else but increase their budget?
Excuse but why the fuck doesn't the bill go to the companies that generate profits by producing the cause of the problem. Not only that, instead of working to mitigate the problem, they are spending hundreds of millions dollars to obfuscate, hide and misinform people about the problem so that they can continue to generate profits whilst 'oh yeah' socialising all the losses. So where is the fees and charges (instead of yet more subsidise and tax exclusions) that they should be paying for the current and future harm their industries are causing.
Then the real business question in this case is was Skype necessary in the hooking together of all those services. Skype did have a customer base but if the majority of that customer base were already using say M$ Office, then you paid for what you already had. So was it bought just to make it look like M$ Management were doing something rather than nothing, did it again just devalue the existing MSN services.
How much have security scares crippled computer video services, people are shying are for computers prebuilt to be fully capable of monitoring them video and sound. Tell you what, give a little USB smartphone dock that I can fix to the side of my desktop screen, that will link it to my PC and when I want those extra comms feature I'll stick my phone in the dock and when I don't want them I'll just pluck the phone out of the dock (it would also be a handy place to keep an eye on the phone, even just for hands free use). Don't have to buy a camera or a microphone or worry about one being there when I don't want to use it.
?!!! 'ER', terrorist plan ahead. Sorry sir, but that plane you were going to hijack is booked out please try again tomorrow or book ahead.
The no fly list is goofy assed. Names are on that list not people, hence the FBI can now play the silly bugger game that constitutionally no particular individual is banned from flying but that a particular name is associated with an unidentified risk and releasing that information, risks ongoing investigations. The real basis for the no-fly list was not terrorism it was politics. If you really belong on a terrorist no fly list, then bloody prove it and if they can prove it, that person should be in bloody jail not on a no fly list.
Somehow you bring to mind the kind of douche nozzles that thinks it's appropriate publish nude photo's that their ex-girlfriends sent them. Once it is in you grubby little mitts, does not mean you can do what ever the hell you fell like doing with it.
It's a simple self defence statement. The supposed watch keepers in order to make themselves look less incompetent and stupid, inflate the prowess of the one honourable person that exposed them all. A whole agency gone right out of control and all the other agencies around it happy to look on and pull a sergeant shultz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34ag4nkSh7Q as long as the got in on the flow of information so they in turn could do what ever the hell those individuals wanted to do with it. Yet again Uncle Tom Obama natters on about the NSA without talking about what other Agencies did with the illegally obtained information they got from the NSA (so far only the DEA has started to be exposed, hmm, strange that, the choom gang cowards favourite agency first to be exposed beyond the NSA).
Not true. Consider all the fawning service jobs which have nothing to do with the needs of humanity and are there only to serve the ignorant ego of humanity. An ugly oppressive ego espoused by the few and forced on the many.
Auto-driving cars would only have minimal impact on employment for example the biggest impact on employment would have been by earth moving equipment, positively huge impact on employment but no one in the sane mind would bitch about that especially those who used to do the manual labour.
Constitutionally it is not. The basic premise of the US constitution is all are equal under the law. Every crime is to be treated equally due to circumstance and not the person. More importantly whilst the constitution allows federal law to control trade between states it specifically excludes what may be lawfully produced in each state. You again have the constitutional professor blatantly breaking the constitution by claiming the imperial right to define what agricultural products can be produced inside of a state and under what conditions. The Feds certainly can sit on the border of each state and seek to control the flow of products it deems illegal but it has no power to control what is produced and consumed within a state. The only reason the choom gang coward is buckling now is because state are pushing for a constitutional challenge to bust the drugs laws wide open and leave them up to each state individually.
You are not paying attention to reality, in splitting the M$ that way, you are basically taking away all the less successful elements or elements that should have been far more successfully ie. pretty much everything that relies on creativity and making a new company with all the elements to succeed under 'creative' leadership. Whilst leaving the current profit generating units, without the burden of those other units. Existing shareholders benefit because they have shares in the existing profit generating units and they have shares with the new company that has a much higher chance of succeeding under new 'creative' management.
A company that is stagnating basically needs to start a square 1 and re inject that creativity. It was always said that Paul Allen would have taken M$ in other directions to Bill Gates and Paul Allen was the real creative person behind M$, just got squeezed out by the hostility of Ballmer and Gates combined. So get Paul back in to set new directions for the two parts of the company M$ Office/Windows and MSN/gaming. They can leave Ballmer at M$ Office/Windows to squeeze the life out of it.
Listen up and listen up good. There are plenty of things I do that I prefer not to do and screw you if you think I just have to suck it up with out doing what ever I can do to change it and if I bloody wish, spend the rest of my life continuing to attempt to change it. I'll send email to a GMail address but make not mistake I will spend the rest of my life opposing the idea that they are entitled to read and analyse anything beyond the addressing. Personally I would like to see a new email encryption standard, one that is the global default and that absolutely anyone can decrypt with a simple press of a button. The only proviso being, that only the intended recipient is by law entitled to press that button and decipher the content, if anybody else does so they have committed a computer crime and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law (maybe add a warning in when they press the decipher button, so two button presses;P).
Both Google and the USPTO are officially insane. Can anyone see where the patent wildly crosses the the line? Whilst the GMail user has agreed to have the privacy reamed the other person or persons at the end of the email or those who replay to a GMail address have not, thus an extreme invasion of privacy. This would be akin to the patents office granting the US postal service a patent for the ability to scan and read al mail that passes through it's service on the claim that buying a stamp means you agreed to all the terms and conditions of service of the US postal service.
There is always another party to that email, so at which point does the sender own the rights to privacy and at which point does the receiver take over that right or can it be legally implied that both own the right to that privacy and both must agreed to have it reamed prior to any company being allowed to do it.
Especially consider this on the reply, fuck Google, just because I send an email to a GMail address does absolutely not mean, I gave them the right to have my privacy reamed by the to their greedy and perverted little heart's content.
Check the preliminary, ie. that which takes precendence, "computer programs among the inventions that may not be patented would be unlikely to prevent the granting of patents for inventions involving embedded software". So computer programs are only not patentable if you 'WORD' your patent application incorrectly. Each and every piece of software is 'embedded' in hardware for it to function, there is not one bit of software that is not, hence software. So word you patent application like a moron and it fails, tie your software to hardware no matter how euphemistically or generally and it passes, as it is now embedded.
A bird flies at the windscreen of a car, the driver is distracted, is it the driver's fault? A large known venomous spider, falls from the sun visor into the drivers lap, the driver is distracted, is it the drivers fault? A large active bill board distracts the driver, is it the drivers fault (now no bullshit about billboards, if they don't distract drivers then why the fuck put them up?). A reflection of sun off a window shines right in the drivers face, the driver is distracted, is it the driver's fault.
Face it, drivers get distracted all of the time, most of the time everyone gets away with it, some of the time they don't and everyone involved suffers, some of the time some of the suffer a lot and for a long time there after. Driving is seriously dangerous crap and you are out there playing Russian roulette (just check out Russian dash cams). http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=russian+dash+cams&page=&utm_source=opensearch
Seriously the way we currently do it is really a bad idea and the more cars on the road the worse it gets, only have to look at road death and accident statistics to know that. Likely automated cars will be the quickest and safest way out of it, so we better pull our fingers out and get on with it, seriously, 1.2 million deaths per year and thousands of more injuries, your number will come up and there ain't much you can do about it!
Everyone knows it is strictly a minority that is at the core of the inaction. Basically greedy psychopaths who generate huge profits by the current course of drill baby drill, burn baby burn, are using a percentage of those enormous profits to pay of corrupt politicians, both in campaign contributions and straight up off shore tax haven bribes. To back up those corrupt politicians, those same psychopaths are also funding junk science to come up with all kinds of shit to fling at the real science and seeing which kind sticks best and then spreading it around.
Now add in a totally corrupted fourth estate which values advertising dollars above all else and consider lies and truth with utter indifference and you have the recipe for an insane society run by the insane whilst the majority look on dumbfounded and seemingly locked in inaction until of course it is too late.
The crazy idea that the majority support this or are motivated in the same fashion, is just that, crazy. Really our world is being run into the ground by asshats who instead of being in charge, should be in prison, we know it, they know it, everyone knows it. However our laws and institutions have become so corrupt that instead of being prosecuted and imprisoned they are celebrated for being the greediest shit heads on the planet woo hoo, at least by mass media the totally corrupted fourth estate, now why is that, hmm, guess who owns the totally corrupted fourth estate.
Of course the new trouble might well be a ill mannered Uncle Fester internally furious at being fired and taking revenge on the others by trying to cost them as much as possible on the way out the door, even taking into account his own investment. But, hey, cutting off your nose to spite your face is Uncle Fester thinking. Sometimes when you sack an employee it is far safer to hand them a redundancy cheque as you escort the out the door. I think M$ is going to end up paying a big price for allowing Uncle Fester a year to gain revenge and to set up the company to take a fall under the new CEO regardless of what they do.
It also seems you have no idea about the various scammy face book hooks scattered all over the internet. You can often end up on facebook with no desire to go there and the only reason it happened is you haven't blocked the various facebook scripts with a tool like http://noscript.net/. So a little bit knee jerk there depending upon how you have set up your company machines and the base software running upon startup of the machine and startup of particular applications.
I did not say it did not have a legal interpretation. However it is a direct corruption of the legal system by corporations ie typical trade secret, buy something for ten cents, claim it cost $100 then sell if for $110, that is a legal trade secret including the lie, same as bullshit special ingredients. Certainly not the only thing to legalised on criminalised solely on the base of corruption. Trying reading and understanding for a change.
No, I made it quite clear, their crime is simple copyright or patent infringement, they did not deny their employer anything. So a civil penalty with the appropriate fine, for making likely several copies. Not some distorted corporate takeover of the courts and criminal system, turning any infringement against them into a felony.
No, not theft involved except maybe a few dollars worth of computer processing time and network traffic. That being all that was taken from and denied to the original owner. Trade secrets, see now that is really just a corporate flim flam, usually used when they are cheating people and trying to hide that cheat from the public when being dragged through the courts. If it is protected it is protected by either copyright or by patent, those are the laws in place, so trade secret is pretty much just bullshit, basically it is just corruption, in fact pretty much is all about buyer beware 'Caveat emptor' and doing everything possible to keep the buyer unaware and like some fucking douche calling that a trade secret.
Corporations are corrupt. Democratic governments are not 'made up' they are elected. The electorate votes for those person they believe will represent them. This belief is based upon the information provide to, not just any information by the dominant most repeated information. The information channel has been corrupted by corrupt corporations and money defines what information is the most repeated and the truth full ness of that information is not a measure of it's value, the only measure is how much is spent spreading and repeating it. So corrupt individuals get elected and this is paid for by corrupt corporations.
Just because some people are corrupt does not make all people corrupt. Just because psychopaths know they are corrupt, does not mean that self image is validly applied to others no matter how psychopaths view others. Reality check, not all people are the same, some are born psychopaths.
It's cute that psychopaths still think the old lies hold. I know psychopaths view every else to be corrupt as themselves, will at least they routinely express that but reality is psychopaths recognise each other and scheme and plot together but only for as long as it advantages them both.
Honestly and if course logically, yes normal people will routinely work together for the common good, the evidence of that is staring you in the face (they must be in by far the majority, else the society collapses). I also know that psychopaths specifically and narcissists less so, do not. They are destructive parasites that will destroy society to favour themselves, psychopaths far more than narcissist. I don't think I need to give a hint of the kind of person who sees everyone as being as greedy and selfish as them self, do I?
Those laws are also meant to never allow crimes to go unreported. However in regard to constitutional challenges secrecy acts do run into severe trouble with regard to free speech.
Look at the Manning case, free speech is protected under the constitution and the constitution takes precedence over all laws created 'under' it. The US constitution also demands the separation of powers and the Judiciary has strict control of the courts. The Manning case was tried by the military under control of the executive branch and again broke constitutional law, especially when that trial was already a direct challenge to free speech under the constitution. The military also blatantly exceeded the limits of the eight amendment in abusing Manning in order to achieve a more compliant and malleable defendant.
That freedom of speech amendment is the first and as such takes precedence over all over amendments and certainly takes precedence over any laws that were enacted 'under' the constitution. Which is why the US military pushed for aiding and abetting the enemy but when they couldn't prove that and dropped that part of the prosecution ie the lost the constitutional elements of treason charges which are in the core of the document and take precedence over the amendments their whole case should have fallen apart. Of course as they were already operating outside the separation of powers requirements of the constitution and now blatantly breaking constitutional law, the kangaroo court just keep going.
Most of those secrecy laws, whether government and criminal or corporate and civil are really just a means by which to punish people for as long as possible through the court system until they make it to the highest court, years and years latter, and fail under challenge because the disclosure did not incorporate treason and the reality was secrets should never have been secrets and those crimes exposed should have been prosecuted as well as those who covered up those crimes.
In this case the reality is. If you are so stupid as to let computers do the trading of stocks and options without supervision, then you deserve to loose the money, end of story. Instead, corruption on display. As for blaming the coders. Sorry again, what did you miss about being stupid enough to allow computer systems to do automatic trades. You computer systems should only recommend trades, with a supervising officer allowing them to finally pass through if and only if they make sense.
In this case it's the corrupt idiots in the law courts. They are making a huge and very corrupt distortion in terms of copying information. This is basically a copyright infringement as no data was stolen only unpublished programs but still non-unique programs. The distortion is corporations via a corrupt court attempting to twist this into national secrets disclosure. This is a straight up economic and civil court matter not a criminal court matter. Basically the idiots are putting the corporate corruption of courts on display.

Most of those secrecy laws, whether government and criminal or corporate and civil are really just a means by which to punish people for as long as possible through the court system until they make it to the highest court, years and years latter, and fail under challenge because the disclosure did not incorporate treason and the reality was secrets should never have been secrets and those crimes exposed should have been prosecuted as well as those who covered up those crimes.
In this case the reality is. If you are so stupid as to let computers do the trading of stocks and options without supervision, then you deserve to loose the money, end of story. Instead, corruption on display. As for blaming the coders. Sorry again, what did you miss about being stupid enough to allow computer systems to do automatic trades. You computer systems should only recommend trades, with a supervising officer allowing them to finally pass through if and only if they make sense.
In this case it's the corrupt idiots in the law courts. They are making a huge and very corrupt distortion in terms of copying information. This is basically a copyright infringement as no data was stolen only unpublished programs but still non-unique programs. The distortion is corporations via a corrupt court attempting to twist this into national secrets disclosure. This is a straight up economic and civil court matter not a criminal court matter. Basically the idiots are putting the corporate corruption of courts on display.
