Organization accustomed to operating in secret resists the notion of having a potential opposing viewpoint to consider.
I understand that they feel this suggested reform indicated the American people have decided they do not trust in the impartial judgment of this panel. Perhaps we should just remove the defense attorney from criminal proceedings as well. That should clear out the case backlog, I mean obviously Federal judges are beyond reproach.
Let's kill the appellate courts while we are at it too. That should save time and money as well.
If you'll recall it came down to SC or the space station. The space station was thought to create more jobs in the long run, so that's where the pork went. As many commenters have mentioned, there has been not much of substance out of the LHC.
On the other hand..... thinking about the space station makes my stomach hurt.
Here's the problem with your argument.... In most cases it is becoming apparent that data is being collected outside the established rules of the road. You are quite naive if you believe that intelligence and law enforcement agencies are somehow "better" in the EU member states. Just to refresh your memory, some of those same EU member states accepted prisoners for enhanced interrogation methods.
Again we see that the Courts are saying that citizen groups do not have standing to support laws placed on the books by their elected officials.
Much as Obama refused to defend DOMA, the CA AG and Governor decided not to defend a duly passed statue. This is beyond the pale. IF you don't like a law, get it changed through the process outlined in the Federal and most State Constitutions. This imperial head of state nonsense must end.
For the record, I have no objection to the outcome, I just feel there is too much wrong with the way these outcomes are coming about these days. You have no moral standing to complain about FISA, the NSA or the Patriot Act if you defend the way the executive branch in CA and the US acted and the manner SCOTUS came to this ruling.
Exactly. It seems we hear this every time has an integrated graphics upgrade. By that I mean a chorus of marketing speak to make us believe their graphics offerings compete and surpass with lower end discrete GPUs. In reality, there is hype, hope and ultimately disappointment as the parts actually end up in the hands of users. It's getting old. Integrated GPUs are still great for office applications and basic OS effects rendering. The real benefit is cost savings to manufacturers and battery savings to users. It's a trade-off, nothing more.
Not saying they don't have a place, but let's be realistic....
Many of those devices are also self contained computers with everything you need to use them included at that price. Not making a dumb comparison, just pointing out that there are flaws in the reasoning behind the last sentence of TFS.
And exactly why I started this..... Party identification needs to end on ballots. We need an informed electorate. The President says he is for change... let's see him prove it.

College sports, basketball and football specifically have become so commercialized that there is very little separation between them and their professional counterparts. That being the case, I'll take real professionals where the skill level is higher any day. I don't get this holier than thou attitude that still persists about college sports.
When the Houston Cougars lost their last game of the season and by extension the Conference USA title, the lead story was how they cost Conference USA BCS money. Give me a break.
Ah, but what CAN they do?
Tightening of security is an obvious step, but if any of these private entities did anything in retaliation, our own government would be out to prosecute them. Pretty sad. US society, hell all Western societies, are really meant to pull all but the super elite down to a common lowest level. Wasn't always this way, but we must think of the children.

Do I vote for the Democrat that is going to blast me in the ass or the Republican that is blasting my ass?
Politicians do as they are told by the group I referenced.
The people that matter don't fly commercial.
What's the next article theme? NSA concerned foreign governments may be spying on Americans?
The sarcasm is not strong with this one.

I believe the summary misspelled rented.
Wrong. Two branches put this law on the books. Members of the executive, by even their oath of office, are obligated to follow the law.

Or more of the slashdot readers that claim to support their efforts to pony up.

OMG ya think? Who else has the ability to put something this massive together?
Just off the top of my head.... The US, Russia, the UK, Israel, Germany Not saying they aren't behind it, just that they aren't the only game in town.

Using email as anything other than a medium to move encrypted files is folly in the first place.
And now would be a good time to start your transition to new and exciting methods of communication... like email!
Not be OT or feed the troll, but it was in a single morning.
Or you could maybe find a web mail provider that was a bit more browser agnostic?
