Only thing that's really worrying here is the fact that hard disks have a bad tendency to behave bad when they get older - lubrication issues. And I'm not sure that SSDs fares a lot better.
Another issue that worries me is the fact that modern computers are soldered with lead-free tin combined with smaller solder joints than the computers made 25 years ago. A ticking bomb.
Don't ever think that it's less risky anywhere else. You may not risk being killed everywhere, but you can suffer badly anyway if you go against the corrupt people.
So now you are in the hands of all the Ad spammers instead and other malicious people spamming your IP with traffic. Of course - the ISP will not block that because it means that they can "upsell" their services.
Paying for bandwidth is a different way of solving this. As long as it is equal regardless of accessed service it's not a problem with net neutrality. Then customers requesting high bandwidth can pay for it.
Maybe not weak keys but weak passwords. No point in having a password that you will forget in a week.
And brute force attacks against passwords is always an option on encrypted files no matter which strength of encryption you use.
But until we have proof that the files are cracked it's pure speculation. Also realize that it's likely that Snowden made sure to only bring with him files that pointed out details that were really dirty and not a complete list of all agents out there. A large data volume is harder to cover up while a list of "goodies" is still sharp enough to make some people worry.
That's probably the least of your or my problem. It just shows that you are a narcissist, but if you want to make a fool out of yourself you are welcome.
A much larger problem is the ability for corporations without my consent track my patterns on the internet and can therefore be able to connect me to political opinions, sexual preferences and which bank(s) I use and possibly also my bank account number and credit card numbers.
Disabling of third-party cookies do help to some extent, enforcing session-based cookies as well, but not completely. AdBlock can also help a bit. At least it blurs the image of me on the net a bit for the information gatherers.
All those sites like "doubleclick", "tradedoubler" and similar - they don't provide me as a user with any benefits at all. And there are a massive amount of such sites and very few are in the default blocklist of AdBlock.
There were a few, but not to the same extend that we see today - most people weren't impacted by them, while today almost everyone is impacted by a multinational company.
Maybe it's time to revise that stance now that we have multinational huge organisations. They weren't a factor to count in when the First Amendment was written.
Antibodies do exist for viruses that the body has had to take down, but what if the body is already resilient against a virus because it lacks the "handle" the virus needs?

Like making murder legal then?
Not to mention the CSV export. The dynamic of that format is completely FUBAR for everyone working in a multinational company.
Which most of Europe do.
If you use separator - use a space and a fixed-width font.
There's probably a Tops-10 system alive somewhere in the world still.
Why not Cobol while you are at it!

I just wait for an ISP to spoof that form and make sure that any filed complaints "get lost".

I wouldn't say it's a finite resource, it's a limited resource. Some areas have more than enough, but in general fresh water is overused.
Move people to where the water is instead. Or at least the farming.
I agree - both are worth to consider. I played Star Trek on a Teletype ASR-33 once. Should have had ear plugs...

The problem is if a blob isn't compatible with the open source kernel, then you have problems either license wise or by non-functioning software.
And to me Chrome is not an option.
It's not the language that's the problem, it's the plug-in runtime environment.
It's like blaming notepad in windows for the OS crashing.
The last good version of Oracle was 8.0, then they messed up shit in the database with Java for no good reason.

Unless they can throw a machine analysis on the code as well as manual inspection it's useless.
The article states:
Though unfortunately it's Lincoln Chaffee
What's the problem?
