If this study is merely the number of users visiting a site(s)? If so, then it could be nothing more than fewer FF users visiting these sites. These studies can't go on a user's computer to see what the user is using, so it's just another statistic. Unless that's what the spyware was doing...
I would agree with Gilmore if it was public transportation, the government's invasion of privacy is getting out of hand, but the case had to be decided this way. Airlines are private companies: they can require their customers to balance a ball on their nose and bark like a seal if they so wish. We really need to worry when the government starts regulating what private businesses can do.
Remember, the GPS system was the pioneer system of its kind. While the new EU system is more accurate, it's merely a new release. It may be attempted as an in-your-face, but the real honor belongs to the brilliant minds of the GPS system for doing the impossible, as the US always does.
Sure, encrypted mail would hinder the government's power, but I don't think that it would be the most prudent step.
First of all, why do you want encryption? Unless there is some manner of illegal activity that is discussed in your email, it's only hurting you. If you are ever suspected of a crime (and I'm not talking about j-walking, this has only been done by the NSA, which sole responsibilities lie in national security, hence the National Security Agency), then a quick look at your communications would turn up recipes for muffins, clearing your case rather quickly. However, should you be suspected in the course of a serious terror investigation, the time necessary to decrypt your email would slow down the investigation, which only hurts the national security.
Unless there is some sort of illegal activity going on, there is no purpose to encrypting email.
Once upon a time, there was a guy named Darwin. Though his ideas have been contorted into the Theory of Evolution, his principles were brilliant. This is clearly an example of natural selection.
This one deserves a Darwin Award for sure.

How do you work out of a 100 ft office? That's one-dimensional, which gets uncomfortable quite quickly.

Wow.
So this article tells us that we have 6 versions now...no, wait, plus the European N versions.
So this article tells us the same things that we've heard countless times before.
Wonderful

Silly me, I thought this was about the teachers playing tetris while the kids are doing worksheets.

That's US-bashing??? It seems to me that the Canadians are bashing themselves by just letting this guy speak where the media can hear him!
