So, the point is everyone is supposed to buy Apple docks? (it probably is) Because, right now I can go to a friend's house, plug in power and audio, and be all set. Most of them have standard micro-USB and 3.5mm plugs already in place for that (because, you know, everyone except Apple supports those standards), I don't have to carry anything except my phone. Apple would require a proprietary dock, at significantly more expense than a couple of ubiquitous cables.
And the advantage of removing the jack is, what exactly? The convenience of having to carry a proprietary dongle or dock everywhere you go?
The biggest problem I see is that it appears they'll use the same jack for both charging and audio out. I very frequently plug into a stereo and power when playing tunes. The other issue is having to carry a dongle, because you know, people want a standard output jack to use with a lot of different devices. A phone and a dongle is bigger than a phone with a jack built in, which pretty much defeats the whole point.
No difference. Things aren't "classified after the fact," they're classified when they are created, based on the type of information. Classified info is classified whether it's marked or not.
Yeah, right. As opposed to doing nothing and getting shot. The thing with pepper spray is that in most states, it's legal to carry anywhere. In many states, even a concealed weapon license won't let you carry a firearm in a bar.
"Is there any history about how that has worked before?"
Sure, FBI sends "National Security Letter" to Intel, demanding they open the door without telling anyone. FBI then has unrestricted access to Intel systems, worldwide, but "no, you can't see the source code, it's secure, we promise."
"Is the US government willing to back up its confidence with a guarantee to reimbursed all losses for everyone using this technology?"
You do realize that simply ends up being taxpayers footing the bill.
Better to hold CIA director John Brennan, and those congresscritters who support such backdoors personally responsible for the consequences of their actions..
LOL. There are lots of emails which weren't released because they contained classified material, which means they were mishandled by being on systems which were not approved for such material. There have also been official statements that classified material was present in the emails.
Take your head out of the sand, and stop being an apologist.
Intention doesn't matter when classified materials are inappropriately handled. She was informed of, and signed off on, what the relevant legal rules were. There's also the smoking gun email, where she wrote "turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure" with regard to a classified fax, which does show intent.
"no expectation of privacy in public places" is a vast oversimplification. A National Park is a public place, and I believe the vast majority of the public would have a reasonable expectation of privacy while in the back country, especially if they looked around and didn't see anyone before they peed on a bush. Similarly, I think there can be a reasonable expectation of privacy even in an urban environment which is violated by a deliberately disguised/concealed camera. One reasonably expects to be able to see any watchers as well as they see them in order to make a determination of how private the situation is. The law recognizes this in other areas - you can look into someone's windows if you're standing in plain sight on the sidewalk, but you're a peeping Tom if you're hiding in the bushes (i.e. the subject couldn't be reasonably expected to know they were being watched). Why should government actions be any different?
That's an indirect way of stating that we've found solutions to most of the diseases which historically killed people. That leave the ones we haven't cured, such as cancer, to increase in relative proportion. You're oncologist's statement doesn't do anything to explain the reason a teenager might get cancer.
"Peter Winn [assistant U.S. attorney in Seattle] wrote to Judge Jones that the location information about the disguised surveillance cams should be withheld because the public might think they are an 'invasion of privacy.' "
If the public thinks they're an invasion of privacy, they are, by definition (since that indicates a public expectation of privacy), whether their location is disclosed or not. Big Brother Peter Winn is watching you.

Shouldn't some blame be placed on the review sites, for not purchasing cards at retail? That's SOP for reviewing products in many industries.
Does this mean that twitter is finally figuring out how to make a profit?
A foreign company doing any significant business in Russia can certainly afford "1 million rubles or about $15,000" as a cost of doing business.

Except they're not open wheel cars, they have fenders and wheel well liners.

Which is to say, it would still float? Lithium has a density similar to wood (pine).

One wonders why there wasn't even any pepper spray available/used.

You're an asshole, and wrong to boot. You lack a basic understanding of cause and effect.
"Microsoft has just patched a vulnerability that affects all Windows versions ever released."
But fortunately, according to the summary, they still patched all versions. Where do I get the patch for XP?
"It argues in a proposal that the database should be exempt from the Privacy Act."
Which is a blatant admission that they are currently violating it.

Peter Winn is arguing the latter.

Oxymoron.
