Further proof that both extremes are just as crazy.
False equivalence let's one side keep getting away with moving the goal posts. When rational people don't pick a side and take a stand, then we all slide farther into the abyss.
Meanwhile, issues of subscriber privacy continue to crop up — Google has reportedly told publishers it will supply certain information about subscribers, and it's not clear whether users will have the ability to opt-out.
There's a good idea. Take a business that's having trouble catching on and give people another excuse not to subscribe.
Did anyone try pricing the digital version at $2.00? Give people a compelling reason to switch from the print version. Instead the digital version is expensive and crippled.
It all reminds of when music was struggling with the same issues. Now most of it is DRM free, it will play on almost any music player, and priced at $1. Do the same thing with the digital version of magazines.
Having a background in government, I can say, from their perspective, cloud services are a big win. It's not perfect, but it's a better deal than they get from any of their contract IT services.
Cloud services would have sunk NMCI before EDS sank the Navy. The billions the Navy spent on managed networks to get a desktop PC, email and productivity software was one of the biggest wastes of taxpayer money ever.
the idea is to increase the difficulty and risk to such a level that it is not worth it for the average employee to attempt to leak whatever mediocre information they have access to
I can tell you from experience in government offices that adding any process raising the difficulty of getting to information, lowers productivity. Not a little, a lot.
Stovepiping data also prevents "connecting the dots" another frequent criticism of pre-9/11 handling of intelligence information. It's deja vu all over again.
So the US government launches a cyber attack aimed at Iran's nuclear production and now the government wants to protect us from cyberthreats?
Where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah! We woulds hate to see bad tings happen to yas.
Besides taking naked pictures of you at the airport, now the government will be infiltrating your office network to protect you. Boy, I feel so much safer now.
We have Sarah Palin and she can see Russia from her front porch. So you can keep all that lefty science and educational stuff. Ameristan don't need no intellekutals.

One touch data destruction.
Or they'll just keep using disposable pre-paids.

Or die. Your choice.
Then it will only run one program at a time and be issued in 4 versions.
But it's really not funny that there doesn't seem to be an inch of daylight between government and big business.
And, no, it hasn't always been that way. There have been times historically the situation was similar, but it hasn't always been that way.
a war with South Korea would involve nuclear weapons, and '[will] not be limited to the Korean peninsula.'
So what they're saying is if tensions rise the only safe response is to proactively nuke North Korea until they glow.
Well alllll righty then. B-bye now!
Maybe the next war will be fought over those floating piles of trash in the ocean.
98% five years ago. Buy a calendar.
Not doing something is not the same as preventing it from happening.
But selecting incompatible technologies is something they can control.
We did we turn into such a bunch of corporate apologists?
The right wingers on the Supreme Court never met an unreasonable search. I'm sure this will be another 5-4 neocon split.
Now we finally know what happened to the Death Star.

The first mission profile was 5 hours, the next one will be 5 days.
Saw it go up. Spectacular. Congratulations to the SpaceX team.
There's no purpose in security if it debases the very life it intends to protect,
I'd like to take that and tattoo it on Lieberman's fat head.

True. That doesn't preclude the "fingerprint" technology using that as part of a unique hardware signature.
Another leak, another sexual harassment charge. What are the odds?
I think it's a bluff. Where are they going to go? China? Google already lived through the "China experience" once, I doubt they'd go back.
The only other options aren't much better. Besides, the US could modify their tax code and make the "Irish shuffle" useless to avoid paying US taxes.
Besides, this isn't over yet.
Heck, in Chicago the coyote could get elected to public office.
Go after the command and control satellites? Or create drones with the express purpose of hunting other drones?

Who are the 50? Publish the names and IP ranges and let the admins loose on them.
I stabbed a guy in the heart...with a (USB) trident!

Boni: plural of Bonus.
I think it would be funnier if the singular was boner. Then you could come home and proudly announce, "I met with the boss today and got a boner!"
At my age that is a bonus.
