i think you're giving them too much credit for machiavellian intelligence. intel was already working on that, balls to the wall. not worth the fiasco...
I don't think we're near that point, yet. Bear in mind, the existence of the EU is due to a continent that had finally had enough after millennia of warfare.
That being said, this is bad. But I'm glad it's happened. We do need to do whatever it takes to make them happy though.
While we definitely must do this, it is a basic rule of security not to trust any part of a system. We should have gotten serious about that a long time ago.
On the other hand, I clearly see the advantages of being in the same room with people when communicating with them. Face to face is far faster and more effective than any other form. You can just turn around in your chair and ask Bob something.
I'm not anti-telecommuting, but for *creative* work in particular nothing beats face to face.

mod parent up. encryption is not magic.
mod parent up! geezus what is wrong with you people?
Because biometrics is a terrible idea.
How do you change your password? You can't. That's why.
Ultimately you have to have something that is only in the brain of the user.
Nobody's making any money from them any more. Legal or not, someone has to give a shit.
bullshit story? brother, you need to get out the house more. millions live that way, and it's not because they are irresponsible people.
fool.
They have no *right* to "keep other people from stealing it." That is madness--that means they can shut down the internet.
The only "right" creators have to themselves is to try and make money off their work. *Try*. That's it.
Is it?
Your blu-rays are designed to be revocable too, you know. They update the keys on the players from time to time when they can...
You assume it has to be "legal" for no particular reason. If the demand is there, it WILL be met.
Some people. Many people. Not "people".
which desktop version of Mint do you use? That everybody likes? ie. Cinnamon or Mate?

except that's not going to happen. also, the cops are out of control in this country.
Encryption is not the only answer, because it's hardly the answer at all.
The metadata they collect would still be exactly the same in most cases.
We have to disguise source and destination as well, or it's all almost for naught.
I think the word you are looking for is "discreet".

Better said, and more original.

Yes, exactly. That being said, I'm quite disturbed that the credit reporting "agencies" are involved in this setup at all. Isn't the IRS real enough?

Your choice. Assume they have or assume they haven't. Which makes sense?
You know computer...
erm, how are they dangerous? serious question here.
I would have felt that way if they'd resisted, and gotten arrested. But they didn't.
But can you even imagine them getting arrested? If they'd had any balls they might have nipped this in the bud years ago.
I've been thinking this about this, and it may be that open source hardware's time has really come.
I'm afraid that is exactly what they are doing.
