The main challenge is as far as I can see there is yet a single protocol to bind them all, and even then it would be yet another protocol.
That's the great thing about standards: there are so many to choose from.
Side note: I worked for an engineer that compared the ISA tagging standard to the bible. e.g. it's clear what religion you get out of the bible, isn't it?
You know, I really hate posts like yours, for a couple of reasons.
First, you say that warrantless wiretaps have been going on for a very long time. Maybe they have, but they were certainly never standard operating procedure. Good hell they're warrantlessly wiretapping EVERYBODY these days. And back then they never came out and said,"Hey, we're doing warrantless wiretaps, and if you don't like it you can fuck right off" like they do now.
Second, saying it's been going on like this for hundreds of years makes it sound like it'll always be this way, so you might as well do nothing. It also lends it an air false legitimacy: "If the founding fathers were doing it it must be okay."
So, 40 years of deliberate ignorance and acrimony is coming home to roost? Tough grid.
Shit. Not only do we see the promotion of ignorance and acrimony on the far right coming home to roost in the area of climate change, we see it in a general distrust of experts no matter the field. Look at the latest government financing 'crisis'. Most of those on the far right were in favor of a government default on the debt. They do not believe the consensus of economists that the results would be really bad. Also, look at vaccines, we're starting to see the results of all of the people who believe that somehow vaccines are harmful so they don't get their kids vaccinated.
The promotion of ignorance was a useful tool for some of the ruling class to promote their agenda, but now it's really starting to bite them in the ass. Unfortunately it's biting all of us in the ass.
BUt of course we knew this: government spending is almost 40% of GDP.
A little high, but if you look at the chart you will notice that it is also right around the same percentage as under that flaming liberal Ronald Reagan.
Simple solution: pay your scientists/researchers more. It's only complicated when you have a Republican mindset that idealizes entrepreneurship and denigrates science.
If they really want out of the mess they say they're in, they need to get off the internet entirely. As it is said, the 'net views and blockage as an outage and works to go around it. Blocking comments on their site does nothing when they can still pop up at will on others.
I view this comment as a blockage. Does that mean my comment popped up to go around it?
They weren't sure if they found anything, so they released the one photo they thought looked the the most suspicious the public to see if they could help find anything.
The summary sounds like... Am I understanding this correctly?
Really?! You're reading TFS on Slashdot expecting a good, succinct condensation of the article? Either you're new here, or something about welcoming overlord Portman in Soviet Russia.
whether in searching for terrorism suspects at high-profile events like a presidential inaugural parade, looking for criminal fugitives in places like Times Square or identifying card cheats in crowded casinos
Or just recording where everyone goes and storing it for 5 years in case they need it.
It'll just be "metadata". They won't be able to see what you're actually thinking, so that'll make it okay. At least until the next scumbag America-hater comes along and exposes how they were lying to us and spying on us for our freedom, cuz yanno, the terrorists hate our freedom.
I wish I had mod points. He didn't even fucking bother to search youtube. I saw one video that was much more disturbing with just a cursory search. Fucking mods were asleep.
I could photograph your license plate and keep it forever and nothing you can do about it. I can post it on the internet and nothing you can do about it.
Yes you can private citizen, though It would be very difficult for you to photograph everyone's license plate at various locations all around the city 24/7 and store them forever. And you certainly can't link that person's phone records, bank records, browsing habits, etc., etc. and store those forever. And here's the rub: even if you could do all of that you yourself couldn't do a fucking thing about it because you don't have the law on your side giving you the power to break down people's doors in the middle of the night with a paramilitary unit of trained, lethally armed thugs who *know* you're a criminal.
Whats next to be replaced by some Google specific protocol for Google users? SMTP?
SHIT
The new Google toilet will analyze your bowel movement in the cloud. It will look for signs of disease, figure out what you last ate, and where and who you ate it with (using location based awareness). Then, using a synthesis of powerful AI data-mining and machine learning coupling your search history with a list of the contents of your emails and contacts, it will figure out whether you are a pedophile/terrorist/atheist or don't support government spying, and forward this intelligence to your girlfriend/FBI/NSA/CIA/TSA/TLA.

Isn't it a bit rude to actively listen in on other people's conversations, even if you *can* incidentally hear them?
Congratulations! You are now starting to understand the problem of indiscriminate surveillance.
On a side note: if Hayden has nothing to hide, he should be fine with people listening in to his conversations, right?

Chances are that if YOU personally are injured that you will never see anything close to an equitable judgment.
What?! You wouldn't believe how much money I've made off of class action settlements. At this rate I'll be able to retire in 19234 C.E.

So who the fuck is Bennett Haselton?
Bennett has el ton o' shit to say. Okay?
I'll show myself out.

Bah! I much prefer Glenn Gould on the piano to harpsichord recordings, although I do like them. See for yourself.

They exemplify EVERYTHING that's wrong with it?
This exemplifies EVERYTHING that is wrong with copyright law.

With a marketing budget said to include up to half a billion (!) dollars from Google, it's hard to imagine that any leaks are actually unintentional.
Or this advertisement.
Jar Jar Strikes Back??? NOOOOOOOOOOOO...
So Google is basically saying: If you want to make money from the blog we are hosting for free, you have to cut us in on the revenue?
Basically.
Explicitly they are saying: If you want to make money from hot anal orgies, you have to cut us in on the revenue.
Funny and informative. Wish I had mod points.
... I sometimes expel flatulence from the asshole of which I speak ...
You must have terrible breath.
