Personally i do not accept default option where Cannonical gets info even on local searches. So i don't use regular Ubuntu. I got couple older laptops that runs light version of Ubuntu.Thank god no mandatory warrant-less searches there.
Im all for Cannonical to gain ad-revenue if they need it. But not at expence of them knowing what i search in my local repositories. I do coding sometimes and most of that is done either case by case basis or just for myself. I also have documents that im contractually obliged to keep secret. Do i want someone else to know what i search locally? Hell no.
What i don't understand why don't they just ask during a installing system: Would you like to help us spy on you and gain even more advertisement revenue by letting us see everything you search on your computer, over internet or locally?
Sure makes me wonder what the heck has government of England got it self involved into... Must be something really bad if PM is making threats to news outlets.
Personally i'm glad Snowden decided to reveal what e knows. Now we all get to know exactly how much NSA has been spying on us all.
Long live the queen, down the PM.
In some countries this would constitute as entrapment. And made collected evidence void for any legal purpose. Somehow im sure internet will soon reveal this persons identity, address, etc... Since he has nothing to hide, right?
Sounds like feds are going to have uphill battle in court trying to prove all these beyond reasonable dought. After all in court its not what they say, but what they can actually prove.
Lets just hope some innocent people docent come forward and claim those bitcoing to be stolen by feds from them... Would be embarrashing, not to mention blow feds case out of water...
This just goes to show, badboys might find way in at any time. So rest of us needs to stay vigilant of out system. System that was presumed secure yesterday, may have hole in it that was discovered today...
Sadly most people that install forum software of any type, just don't follow security bulletins, or read install instructions properly anyways. Damn computer amateurs...
Just goes to show that unless you read the code yourself or reverse engineer it yourself, you just cant be sure whats there. Now they found one. Waiting more news in other manufacturer and models in 3... 2... 1...
I use mine for php/python development platform, very nice, very easy to move with me if needed.
Just little sad broadcom is not exactly opensource and those chips are locked down pretty tight even on datasheet side.
Just goes to show how little we really know about physics and laws of nature in reality... Now they make light behave unexpectedly..
Personally i welcome weapon of more civilized times into our reality. All we need now is to learn to understand the force...
Works so well to others in past? Have those idiot decision makers ever needed to deal with it ptoblems themselfs? Corporation i worked has outsources its it support services...
HIghlights from last 3 years:
- Installing 30 cm patch cable to crossover cabin took 8 months... God knows why...
- Broken computers gets replaced withing 2-3 weeks... ok i work in manufacturing side so no biggie, i can wait...
- Any changes/corrections to those stupid excell spreadsheets we are forced to use takes months usually..
yeah lets outsource it, more byrocracy, more red tape, less utility...
I think main problem is that who ever answers the support call at that time, docent know our systems. We have no dedicated support staff. Still remember the time i could just call inhouse IT support and things would be fixed in couple hours, even if it was about computer being totally broken. They just pulled new one on shelf and configured..
not anymore...
In the beginning it was "Think of children". In my country they drived throw illegal censorship (Our constitution denies censorship). They claimed it would be overseen, etc... It wold only effect servers not in our country..
Today its used for much more then just what it was originally intended. It censors sites critical to to this censorship system, it censors pirate sites (not even claimed to distribute child related material), etc...
Censorship is such a dangerous road. Once you take the first step, its so easy to take another and then another and then another.... Until you are light year away from what was originally intended.
Theres no oversight of system. List is classified, Who manages that list is classified, and theres no court oversight of it. So if you are wrongly places on censor list, theres no way to get out. It volantery system for ISP to be part of, except if you dont implement it volantery theres law we can make it...
Personally i believe its problem of democracy. Too many old folks on power that dont understand modern world. They think sweeping problem under the rug is doing something, because that seemed to work in past. Child related issues will not go away if you put them under the rug, you need to take action... Unfortunately censorship is the wrong choice of action. Smoke and mirror trick that leaves problem un-handled..
So they finally desided to encrypt users data? So its been unencrypted upto this point? I tough googles prime policy was do no evil?
Considering who is looking to spy on you,i would not consider only 128 bit AES secure by any standard. Not to mention google can get unencrypted data to them anyways...
Always wondered why every encryption standard in use on internet need to be accepted by NSA first? Most likely becouse NSA wants to make sure they can brake it.
Lol, maybe government should not be doing things they are shamed afterwords. Like spying its own citizens that have done nothing wrong. All this under fear of terrorist.
I wonder how long until they realize terrorist won the war. They changed how certain superpower lives its lives. So much for land of the free...
I all pro information freedom. And i don't fit any of those categories.. 'Nihilists, anarchists, activists, Lulzsec, Anonymous, twentysomethings who haven't talked to the opposite sex in five or six years.'
Im 38 yeras old, i quess thats twentysomething....
Im married and talk my wife every day...
I remember time when i you heard voices in your head, men with white coats came and locked you away for treatment. I wonder now if those were just government conspiracy to remove unwanted individuals from public.
I would say thats testament to what quality once was. Try getting even 6 years out of current hard drives. Now everything has this planned obsolescence by manufacturers, since they want to sell you again soon as possible...
I have always found it bit funny that they can patent a gene. Expecially when its gene that didnt even develop, nature did. Its similar to decompiling computer programs and then starting to patent parts of them that seems to do task X.
After all thats what dna is, programs for cellural computer.
Personally if anyone could claim any onwership of my genes, it would probably be my parents..
Nice work Mark, you have convinced me to move to some other distro. I will not install any keylogger in my computers willingly.
Bye bye, it has been nice few years (since 2009) and now i move on.
I understand corporations need to gain income, but selling out your users is wrong way to do it. Forceing your users to install mandatory keylogger is even more wrong.
So you can count my 6 computers out of your installation base please.
Decision is made by who ever is in power at given moment.. In this case, Google is trying to be the one that decides it.
Problem with this is, that it can be abused as any power. Those with power wish to silence those without power. Especially when there is inconvenient facts involved that people in power wish to hide.
Sad sad day when you realise that terrorist have won. US is changeing how they live in responce to terrorist fear, terrorist they created in first place:P

Sad day indeed when politics try to dictate scientific truth. My thumps up for scientist that refuses to be puppet and sell the truth.

Wonder if that's patentable since there's clearly prior art on nature then...

Nvidia still dosent get it.. Reminds me of now famous Torvalds quote from video where he send hes regards to Nvidia..
It might be Arduino compatible but not price wise. With all those things sounds like expensive.
