Thank you Europe (especially UK) for actually trying to do what most of Tea-crazy republicans want us to do (cuts + cuts + more cuts) and showing that it does not work. I wish you did not have to go through all this, but at the very least your example may produce some positive changes in other parts of the world.
Good luck with that. I expect that the Republican's explanation of why it doesn't work will be that we aren't cutting enough here.
I'm looking forward to having a private conversation with my doctor or lawyer posted into all my friends voicemail boxes due to an unannounced "improvement" in the phone's security profiles.
...Or an important call interpreted with "chantell276 has commented on your picture"

In practice the 1% controls all the major political parties. To start a new party you would have to go against all the smear campaigns and dirty tricks of the other parties. and the only news coverage you would get would portray you as irrelevant loonies at best.
In AnandTech's benchmarks, the 6200 failed to beat Intel's Xeon processors, in spite of Intel's core and thread deficit. In others, 6200 pulled ahead, with a lead topping out at about 30 percent.
That's hardly an unmitigated disaster for a cheaper chi and the first release from a new architecture.
I thought we all switched to full-fat floating-point operations over 15 years ago when the Pentium hit the mainstream and everyone finally had an on-die FPU in their PC
Its application dependent. I doubt if much fp stuff gets done in cryptography, routing, and many simulations.
Because of the security issues raised by any javascript code:
- transmitted from a potentially rooted server, or
- intercepted by a MITM attack, or
- received by a rooted client
this implementation is not secured as specified in the techworld article
Out of your three objections the second one is the only real concern that does not also apply to SSL. Transmission of the JavaScript does not have to come from the same machine as the one using it. If this catches on I would expect most people would download it from an SSL-secured plugin site. If the client is rooted, then absolutely nothing can protect you, including SSL.
The only real weakness is the man in the middle attack. Unless you can guarantee that the public certificate is from the source you have problems. SSL gets around this with certification authorities. This is not perfect, but generally works.
GPG and PGP generally rely on a web of trust. This can work very well among a small group of people - who al trust eachother only to sign a certificate that they have independently verified. If the group has rules that key signatures have to be verified by a phonecall or snailmail this is probably more secure than SSL. On the other hand if you just download certificates from keyservers without verification it does not give you much protection. I don't believe that the web of trust scales to global networks. You might trust all your friends to verify people, and maybe friends of friends too. You can be pretty sure that your friends will be as careful as you. But extend this to firends of friends of friends out to six degrees of separation and you can be pretty sure that there will be a lot of careless or criminal elements in your web.
When did that happen for the last time in known history? ITC has one purpose only -- to protect US companies from competition.
It will come back to bite them eventually. Other companies are doing the same like getting apple banned in Taiwan. By setting up this framework of protectionism now they will suffer when being banned in China becomes worse for multinationals than being banned in the USA
The article you are linking to actually talks about banning APPLES (the fruit) imported from the US in Taiwan. You probably wanted to refer to the ban of selling some Apple products in South Korea, which is seeked by Samsung. This ban, however, did not happen so far it seems.
Whoops you'r right - I should check my sources! The argument still stands though
The above was written by someone without an understanding of public key cryptography. All you need to do is ensure that the crypto JavaScript is delivered through a secure channel. Once you have done that you can publish a public key on an insecure site and allow people to send data to you which cannot be intercepted. You can also let them generate a key pair and send you the public key, after which you can send them a response.
Where do you get it that anyone but you has your private key? From TFA:
A PGP user who wants to send and receive encrypted emails from a different computer, would have to install it on that system first, import his private and public keys into the local database, known as the keyring, and then configure his email client.

Because the right to bear arms is in there too, but you don't give guns to prisoners.
Stop being such a pussy and scared of everything.
"Home of the brave", my arse.
Americans don't treat this as an inalienable right. For example in the dialogues with the IRA they encouraged disarmament, not proliferation of firearms.
The proposed "solution" is even worse
than the antibiotics it is intended to replace.
A bacteria modified
to attack cancer cells needs only to have its "cancer-only" chromosome
modified to "attack-all-cells" which would spell doom for the
patient.
The way I read it they have something more like a phage in mind, - something that cannot live or replicate outside the pathogen.
If it is an inalienable right then by definition you will find that you have to give internet access to prisoners, detained illegal immigrants, and at least the families of someone who decided to live in a shack half way up a mountain through their own choice.

Well, if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide, right? :-)

What does that have to do with the fact you can create any program with a Turing-complete programming language?
Nothing, but was responding to GGP post saying that they could do anything.
...to vote out the 1%.

What about them?
It really would be a newsflash if they could be solved in a Turing-complete language.
News flash: turing-complete programming languages can be used to created anything.
That really would be a newsflash. WHat about the halting problem? Or the P=NP problem?

I wonder what the scope of using network over powerline to the access points is?
I wouldn't mind raising the jolly rodger up her!
Is forbidden, even without f inbetween. There's just no freedom in muslim countries.
This is to stop discussuins of christianity, which they see as offensive.
