There is simply nothing there, that they (or the IRS) can't get through traditional means.
If you think the data that the gov't has on you isn't leaking out of their servers all over the place, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Snowden was an unusual case in that he scraped up a bunch of data for the purpose of revealing unethical/illegal government behavior. This sort of thing has been going on for years unchecked. Just as long as it was some contractor or gov't employee looking up individual's data for a buddy in some private business. Or they were just looking at their girlfriend/ex-wife's information for their own use.
The problem with handing the FBI server SSL keys is that there is no guarantee that these won't leak out as well. And these keys will eventually find their way to someone who will set up a web site and go phishing for information on their own.
From the average user's point of view, this makes sense. Who can be bothered to authenticate a site's certificate through some alternate channel? Like a key fingerprint printed on your snail mail delivered bank statement. Or in a print advertisement.
So all a self signed certificate indicates is that some unknown entity generated a certificate and is vouching for themselves.
Would these help? If TLS depends on both a client and a server certificate, then the FBI/NSA acquiring a web servers' certificates wouldn't give them access to connection content. For them to intercept a particular individual's connection, they would have to obtain the client key as well as the server key. In most cases (idiots who store their client keys in the cloud aside), this means physical access to the client system.
Physical access means either having to serve an individual with a search warrant or attempting to sneak in and grab it. I don't think there are too many FBI agents that would survive sneaking in to peak at my system.
Which is why the issue is framed as a social responsibility, cultural one rather than a scientific one. According to the AGW promoters, the science is done. Now its an issue of doing the morally right or responsible thing. Its easier to make converts. Keeping the focus on the science messes with the recruiting drive.
Link analysis. Marketing people have been looking for opinion leaders since before the Interwebs. And people who knew that they were such leaders capitalized on this influence as well.
But it legitimizes bicycles as objects legal to posses and legitimate for other people to hold. Law enforcement typically destroys contraband if they don't consider it to be legitimately held by other parties.
Since Bitcoin has no application other than as a currency, exchanging it (placing it back in the market) could establish a precedent that it is, absent other criminal activity, legal to posess and trade.
Right. Bitcoin, MtGox et al did nothing wrong. And (based on my only having scanned TFS) the Feds did nothing with the Bitcoin infrastructure either. When you arrest a drug dealer, you seize all the money found in the raid.
This could have an interesting implication for Bitcoin. We all know how deeply in love the authorities are with seizing the proceeds of criminal activity and utilizing said proceeds for themselves. So if they exchange Btc for USD, they are legitimizing Bitcoin as a currency. If, on the other hand, they live by their claims that Btc is merely an intermediary for money laundering, then I'd expect them to delete the seized wallet. In much the same way that they destroy illegal contraband. Lets see if the gov't can pass up US$3.6m. Particularly now that their primary funding source has dried up.
The theory is: We already subsidize health care for everyone. Get sick and collapse on the sidewalk? They take you to the hospital. If you have money or insurance, you pay. If you are a homeless person with nothing, the hospital eats the cost. Well, they actually spread the expense across all the paying customers.
Wandering in (or being carried into) an ER is an extremely inefficient way to handle most medical issues. It would be more efficient to get people into a clinic for some treatment before they become an emergency. So Obamacare is aimed at getting the above subsidy to the people at a point that would buy them better and cheaper care.
Now, the reality is that every special interest has gotten their fingers in the legislation. So its probably rife with loopholes and opportunities for abuse. We will have to audit it carefully, plug the loopholes as they are discovered and throw some scam artists in prison to keep the program from bleeding money. It can be done, but only by people willing to work on it. Jumping up and down and whining will just play into the hands of the crooks.
Because 'whatever' is harder to control and, above all else, tax. Bach when bio-diesel (from used cooking oil) was just becoming popular, the state practically shit itself to round up all the source stock and run it through its own licensed reprocessors. Just to protect the road tax revenue that might have been lost to a couple of hippies processing their own restaurant grease.
Diesels are less popular in the USA (and diesel fuel doesn't have the same tax breaks it does in the EU) because the use of petrol in passenger vehicles and diesel in commercial/military vehicles makes it easier to curtail passenger car use when we go to war with our fuel sources again. By directing refineries to change their product mix, the government can throttle the private sector market without adversely affecting commercial and military operations. Thus reducing the overall demand for scarce crude.
Between film and digital photography? I heard no such discussion. Slashdot, please take your editors out behind the barn and shoot them.
On another note: Right at the end of the video, we all heard someone's camera ring with an incoming call. This is a problem I've never encountered with my SL66.
Yes. But some countries do so only to maintain their domestic security. That's not always good, but I can deal with it. What many people don't like is losing their privacy in the name of propping up the US' good old boy commercial interests. And getting pulled into every global military dick swinging contest.

I remember hearing about some document that spelled out certain limitations on the governments powers,
Undoubtedly a fairy tale your parents told you when you were young. This, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are not real. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Get lost, Carlos Danger.
Just remember: The RCS of a tinfoil hat is much greater than an unadorned head.

On the other hand, programming errors could explain a few of the people I know today: null pointer assignments.
Israel will. Energy is what makes the Middle East important. Without that as an issue, we could just let them nuke each other back to the stone age.

It sounds like Al-Loheidan suffered cranial trauma when he was carried by his mother who spend hours riding a camel.
