Unless information comes out that says the CIA is performing surveillance on americans on american soil, then yes, I am assuming that the CIA is using the information in here to actually do their job. Which is to spy.
Pretty much everything that has been released from Vault 7 is basically information saying "the CIA is doing it's job" and "here's roughly how the CIA is doing it's job."
The NSA leaks on the other hand showed an agency that was operating well outside of it's traditionally understood role by performing massive dragnet surveillance effectively against every single american and other person on american soil through the use of secret court rulings, novel legal interpretations and a decent mix of "why the fuck not"-sterism.
I could very well believe these tools, if specific other agencies have them, could be used against americans. However I very much doubt the CIA has been sharing. Simply because part of the reason these things work is that others don't know they have them, and sharing these things or even offering to help other agencies by offering to let others have the fruits gleaned from using them could let information out about their existence.
Then why wait a week before the election?If it's something big enough to get her arrested immediately they should release it now. Anything else would take too long through the system that she couldn't even be charged until after the election, just due to investigation necessary given the source and circumstances of the release.
But you release that close and there is no way in hell it isn't fresh in the minds of voters when they go into the polls, plus Clinton ends up spending all that time responding to that charge as opposed to simply campaigning normally or effectively attacking Trump. Which, if your goal is making sure Clinton doesn't get the presidency is a pretty good strategy.
To be fair, I've gone way past 26gb without any throttling. Not to say it won't happen, not to say that it hasn't happened, but I've not yet been throttled.
Yeah, but that roundtrip does a good job of making sure that if the NSA/FBI/(insert 3 letter agency here) comes asking for a copy, they simply have to deal with Microsoft, not you.
Can I ask what feature of the Kindle software beats makes it better than the Kindle? My experience is somewhat opposite that (although the Windows desktop app is admittedly very nice, and I have used that to read a few books) although I am coming from using the software on an iPhone 3g.
Where are you getting the whole "left to avoid US taxes" thing? Last I heard it was "left to avoid losing $5 million having to pay a lawsuit judgement."
So you are alleging a conspiracy by every producer of dedicated ereaders with eink displays (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Cybook, and a hojillion others) to keep expensive new screens produced by the same company that makes the screens they currently are using out of their product lines?
...Why Romero or anything he says is still relevent?Yeah, he used to be kind of a big deal, but the last time he did anything relevant was Red Faction. If you really want to stress it then you could put down Area 51 but honestly Romero just seems to be a name these days.
That's wonderful as long as Amazon is still in business. Yeah, you can say that Amazon staying in business is probably a safe bet, but shit happens. For the average user unDRMing their already DRMed books isn't much of an option, and if Amazon goes tits up for some reason or decides to shut down their Kindle service then they can say byebye to all their stuff the second something happens to w/e devices they have their books on. DRM free content doesn't just let you access stuff across a number of devices now, it lets you actually hang onto your digital content past the life of w/e service and the life of whatever format it was in originally.
No, you can avoid a monopoly by going without it's services or products. You might end up either slightly inconvenienced, or living like a cave man, or dieing from some horrible disease because said monopoly makes some drug that you need to not die slowly and painfully, but you can avoid it.
Think "Matrix" with this. As long as you technically have a choice, it is all good and wholly acceptable. The second you don't, there are issues.
Of course, some of us live in the real world. Where "I can technically disassociate myself from these bastards" doesn't really work out to much of a choice.
The same way it was a myth with PalmOS. I see the Android/iOS battle going down the same way too, even with Apple being the sole vendor of iOS devices.
...the same thing happened with Boxee and Hulu after Boxee supposedly had Hulu's blessing to integrate Hulu into Boxee. A little while later, Hulu Desktop was released. I guess the networks want people using their TVs to watch their on the actual TV channels.
I'll have to disagree with you there. 6.06, Dapper Drake, the original LTS release (that they took 3 extra months on) was superb in every way, and (at least for me) an improvement over the previous release in stability and features. Then the next release was rushed out the door after three whole months of development, and is the one release I ever wholly passed up.
The Latest, Greates, and Most Shiny is what Ubuntu is about. It was meant to be a more current version than w/e Debian's current release is, while still offering people a more stable system than if they used Debian testing. If you want slower and more stable, go with Lenny. Or wait until Squeeze is released, it should be sometime this year.
And people have the option of opting out of the class action, too, allowing them to sue on their own behalf and get however many hojillions from it themselves. The only people who lose the right to sue are those who don't opt out.

Tons of POS software goes fullscreen on launch. Looking for a Windows logo won't help you most of the time.

IIRC, he left around the time of the Digg 4 update (the one that killed Digg and caused it's users to flood tons of other sites).

I think he sold it because he valued the money more than he valued the right to do what he wanted with the script.
Find and watch "The Phantom Edit." That, and a few other tweaks, make the movie a million times better.

Don't quite keep up with social networking crap, but doesn't Diaspora have a similar feature to this, or am I remembering something wrong?
Whoosh!

Doesn't surprise me, considering how many people say PIN number.
You could just turn down the sensitivity...
The Guild is primarily funded by MS...that is why it ends up on their video site before it shows up anywhere else.
Bush didn't stop stem cell research, only federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, and the redefining pi thing as 3 is an urban legend.
