Was thinking the same thing. Unless the PDF specifically calls out the National Security Agency actively targeting and attempting to compromise domestic SCADA systems, the posting reads like something Drudge would write about Obama (countdown to Drudge flame war in 3... 2...)
I was really excited to see the Xbox was adding a browser: We're cutting cable and the only were were going to miss were some shows on channels like Discovery. Figured I would stick a network-connected, cheap HTPC to the TV so we could surf discovery.com, etc. for the episodes that they put online. Only thing is, didn't want to spend cash to build the thing. New patch adds a browser? Cool. No need to stick another device on the network. But it doesn't support Flash which means it doesn't let us stream most things. Too many sites still aren't at HTML5 and so rely on Flash for video. As they say: Sucks to be me.

Um... why? Let's see, we've posted on... what? Maybe 20 cases where cops have violated things like people's right to record them. (Have there been more? Sure. Not the point.) In how many of them have the police chiefs actually been directly involved, vice standing up for their officers until the state AG (or courts) told them their officers were wrong? Now figure out how many chiefs of police there are in the country. I think the vast majority of police do it for the right reasons, which makes me think the majority of police chiefs do it for the same reasons. Proof? None other than gut and working with the police for 20+ years in multiple capacities (including ones that would often be potentially antagonistic when I worked for newspapers). So while you may personally be shocked by the fact that the chief is in support of the initiative, I think it may (possibly) be an unfair bias.
Sure. You can fire anyone you want. Whether you'll win a lawsuit is a different matter. That said, look here for an example of a religious organization doing so.
You were blackmailed by someone claiming to be represent your competition and then by your service provider. Correct? There are two things you should consider, and do so quickly before you've completely hosed your server logs: Contact your local FBI field office and then contact US-CERT. Yes, I know - it's DHS, but they track this stuff and have access to tools/training they can provide.

The thing that pisses me off is that the opt-out isn't a simple matter of clicking, "F Off." You actually have to send them something via snail mail, the same crap eBay did a few weeks ago. Anyone know the stats on sites that accept Google or Amazon checkout? I'd like to drop my PayPal account but don't know of any consistent payment methods (other than providing my credit card to each vendor.)

Just curious: Why not use Google's voice service? Can you set up multiple mailboxes, etc? Wouldn't that be a cheap, effective solution? I rarely use it myself (usually only when I'm too lazy to get up and grab the phone) but so far it seems good.
So is this the be-all, end-all of the issue? Is there no way to get the practice stopped via the courts? Seeing as TSA has lied to Congress (and ignored court orders before) it sounds like there's no other option. Please tell me I'm missing some possibility.

So does the same recipe of urine and Taco Bell.
The problem with AC's is they're never clear about their feelings on an issue.
Works out well. I'm available for weddings and bar mitzvahs.

Um
Almost nobody does.
As soon as "the sources that get it right" start hiring the same eye candy as Fox people start paying attention to them.
Old joke: Know why they call it "golf"? Because the word "shit" was taken.
TSA is hiring.
