As replied below, this easily will not fix anything. When both parties are the problem focusing on the immediate fix guarantees to change/fix absolutely nothing.
So Obama gets impeached. Biden is in the pocket of the RIAA -so how do you think that would go, for example?
Your idea is about as viable as suggesting violent revolution.Neither will end better than they started, for certain.
It is: "we support the rebels". It's no more complicated than that, I'm just summing up the outcome. This isn't being true to any principal whatsoever. This has happened historically a number of times. Look at what happened with the middle east and/or venezuela. Historically, supporting a faction in a war that we didn't start has never ever turned out in our favor.
wrong way to look. You have to look at whether the crypto used is already compromised. It's not even a question of chromium as much as a question of what encryption methods you're using.
If they're NSA approved or FIPS approved, you have no security. That includes the executable's method of encryption, as well.
Anything using AES or triple-DES is guaranteed to be compromised at this point.
yep, the syrian president is corrupt and terrible, but in a nearly ironic fashion his opposition is al qaeda. That's why we should have stayed the fuck out. The closest thing to a *smart* decision was russia's ethically questionable decision of playing the neutral party and selling weapons to both sides, giving them both a: a profit and b: ensuring that this escalating civil war ends quicker.
the US decision to support any side in Syria is explicitly the wrong decision.
a number in a range of a scale is a number within that scale and reasonable. saying something is outside of an arbitrarily created scale in the first place is both pedantic and asinine.
This just in: microsoft and/or apple patents "acoustical transmission", claims it is entirely different than modems - because it's.....wireless/uses a cellphone!
I wouldn't fault him for that as much as fault the US government for our gross miscarriage of justice.
the impact of this is causing ripples around the globe - more and more companies involving technology do not have any desire to work with the US. This wouldn't matter if we weren't a country that's living basically depends on our technology involvement.
MIT has told the world "fuck you" and was seen as a leader in technology. The NSA has done the same. That's pretty significant.
Every other ISP claims they support network neutrality while they do this. What is different aside from your own perspective (which has no basis on facts)?
Copyright as it is wielded today for *most* uses is a net loss to society. Look at book copyright, movie copyright, music copyright. The only thing that has come out of copyright from them is recycling of old media, nothing creative, nothing to promote progress of the arts, and no benefit to society. We've actually lost a ton of history due to excessive copyright - and those with a vested interest would love to keep it that way.
Around 2007 was the biggest confirmation of Apple basically becoming Microsoft, not a sign of innovation. The fact that today their strategy consists of "work with microsoft and litigate Microsoft's competitors" is as clear as any indication that Apple has every intention to become MS. The fact that they apparently successfully lobby the government to overturn basically a guilty conviction by the ITC while claiming it is samsung who is the abuser sends a clear message as to whether the company intends to be innovative/competitive/create new things. The fact that their marketshare is steadily decreasing shows which route they are going.
What do you think jobs "we're declaring war on android" was, or the original iphone itself? Those weren't creative, as shown by *tons* of models of phones and devices that had similar interfaces right around the same time. It's to deny history to fail to acknowledge that apple wasn't the first, or the best. The only thing apple has ever done well is marketing, not making better products. If they wanted superior hardware alone (even today), they'd buy Microsoft products over apple.
because reserving with a taxi is often a pain in the ass, you have no idea where the cabs are and/or if you're going to be waiting if you're in a hurry, and you want to guarantee that you can pay by credit card without getting weird hassling from taxicab shenanigans. That's 3 things off the top of my head.

wrong. It may be an agency model for content, but apple has to approve everything - it is explicitly set up that way.
So, it's still controlled by apple.
this just in. crazy gov't overreach results in a terrible loss to the economy.
is anyone really surprised?
we are expressing a total of 1 point of view.

do you not remember who controls the itunes store?
Do you know what FIPS is for? It's for encryption keys. do you know which encryption keys?
hint: the ones the NSA got from the FIPS program.
what do you think happens from there, exactly?
it's not complicated.
There's no browser company that doesn't have backdoors, including Mozilla. Whether willingly or not, well - only IE does it willingly.
What do you think encryption research from FIPS 140 is for? Gov't has been given the keys to OS-level encryption for over 8 years, now.
Not so much. There a ton of alternatives to paypal, all more secure and reliable for the seller AND the buyer. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/paypal-alternatives/
and that's just the first google result.

They're saying he may have logged in as another official?
that's not impersonating them. Then again, it's a distraction from http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130829/10405424350/latest-snowden-leaks-detail-black-budget-how-much-govt-wastes-useless-surveillance.shtml , so go figure.
Even the quotes are going for low hanging fruit:
"The damage, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 12,” said a former intelligence official"
So on a scale of 1 to 10, the answer is "we can't even do math without sensationalizing it"? /facepalm
what does a single word of what you say have any relevance to this article?
not fuck google, fuck you man. that effortpost troll was way slow.
Maybe you should look into what Microsoft does with your privacy and/or has done with scroogling, because both are ridiculous.
what makes you think Andy Rubin wants to work for MS?
fallacy.
this is facebook. they're not in the business of security or privacy. what do you expect?
This just in: microsoft and/or apple patents "acoustical transmission", claims it is entirely different than modems - because it's.....wireless/uses a cellphone!
amazing. /s

I don't even understand how someone thinks a patent is going to improve anything? That's not even what patents are for.
what's stupid is the article title. It's targeting *all* ISP's ridiculous policies, not just google for going along with it.
Wha?
Apple loves Oracle, they even work with them (and MS) to try to crush google.
so umm, no.
you can get paid for your work with or without copyright. how do people fail to understand this?
This is it, in a nutshell.

there are plenty of valid reasons.
