    FISA warrants can be granted RETROACTIVELY. So yeah can't wire tap without a warrant *eye roll* - it's like the media completely ignored the aftermath of 9/11 and the Patriot Act.

    Yup in fantasy land, intelligence agencies always follow the law.

    Seriously, go fuck yourself. There's nothing, other than the law, that prevent other manufacturers from pulling the same shit. And that's the point, the law. So again go fuck yourself if you seriously think that JD is the only manufacturer that prevents people from repairing their own property.

  7. Yo jackass, this affects repair shops. People who repair electronics. Moron.

    There's a difference between not caring and not being informed. Most people do not know what the risks are. When someone can hack your thermostat, you are going to care!

    Not you when you have crap logic like:

    That's not the implication. If google just returned results that would be fine. google attempted to answer a "question" and got the answer wrong.

    What the fuck are you talking about? Do you even know what private hire means? Uber is a PUBLIC business that serves the PUBLIC. Using an app to book a ride does not change that. Fucking moron!

  18. This started BEFORE Trump on NSA Risks Talent Exodus Amid Morale Slump, Trump Fears (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    FTA:

    "The problem is especially acute at NSA, current and former officials said, due to a reorganization known as NSA21 that began last year and aims to merge the agency's electronic eavesdropping and domestic cyber-security operations."

    "The changes include new management structures that have left some career employees uncertain about their missions and prospects. Former employees say the reorganization has failed to address widespread concerns that the agency is falling behind in exploiting private-sector technological breakthroughs."

    "Some NSA veterans attribute the morale issues and staff departures to the leadership style of Rogers, who took over the spy agency in 2014 with the task of dousing an international furor caused by leaks from former contractor Edward Snowden."

    But you have to love how Reuters concludes the article:

    "Trump's criticism of the intelligence community has exacerbated the stress caused by the reorganization at the NSA, said Susan Hennessey, a former NSA lawyer now with Brookings Institution."

    You do realize Reuters, he wasn't the cause....

  19. To trolls that don't understand the mission of the FCC.

  20. You failed to grasp that "The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing itself."

    "Competition in the provision of communication services, both domestically and overseas, supports the Nation's economy. The competitive framework for communications services should foster innovation and offer consumers reliable, meaningful choice in affordable services."

    So yes the FCC does have a say in this merger. Again, ass-hole.

    The job of the FCC is to "..regulate interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states..."

    It is a lot more than just tech. Ass-hole.

  22. People have it far worse. The rents too damn high, join the fucking club. People make far less and pay more of their income for housing. So fuck off. Put another way, you have the option of moving. You have the option of getting another job.
