You skipped the end part where the Supreme Court deadlocks at 4-4, remands the case then decides to hear it again sometime after a new Justice is sworn in. Which from what is being said will be when Hell freezes over.
Anyone who says that Judge Lucy Koh lacks experience needs to read up about a case called "Apple vs. Samsung". You may have heard of it. She's not afraid to put even the heavy hitters into their place.
"Come on," Koh told Bill Lee, one of Apple's lawyers. "You want me to do an order on 75 pages? Unless you're smoking crack, you know these witnesses aren't going to be called."
Seems like she just isn't afraid to call "Bullshit" when pushed.
Wife got a new car. Kid borrowed said new car to go "to the store". 3 hours and 150 miles later kid returns. We already know he went somewhere, Disney World for all we know or he would tell us.
So now Verizon will be to tell us where he went? It's just a little step further than we already were. And even without Verizon, we're still pretty certain he went to Disney World and was driving 90 miles an hour on I-4.
This.
I really do not like "talking" on my phone and seldom do. I don't care if it can make a call or not as long as I have connectivity for SMS and internet.
This is exactly what I did a few years ago. "Reading" glasses set for a focal length of about 25 inches. Mine use a full size lense, not the little half height ones typically found in reading glasses. While you are at it, get the glare reducing coating and non-reflective frames. Eyeglasses like these will allow you to see the whole screen without moving your head around to find the right focal point.
I use regular progressive bifocals for everything but computer work. If you try to use typical reading glasses from the dollar store for computer work, you will be tilting your head in a very awkward angle in focus the screen. Same thing for progressives or the old fashioned bifocals.
Seems the way to counter this effort to demonize Snowden by the people who are criminally spying on everyone is to keep repeating that Snowden is a Patriot. But I see that this course of action will quickly degenerate into a shouting match. I'm pretty certain I would lose any shouting match to an idiot, so the percentages don't look good here.
"Oh, and we'll have to bill you for charging your vehicle of course. Just sign here to authorize us to obtain your credentials wirelessly anytime your vehicle passes over a manhole cover."
Who needs old fashioned tracking devices that have to be surreptitiously installed under a vehicle? You just gave them permission to track you full time.
Why don't they just arrest the people they want, charge them with 50 gazillion stupid "crimes" and then offer the "applicant" a plea deal in return for their cooperation? Just like we do here in the States.
Nothing personal, but I'm not certain that you could have done such a complete and utterly devastating job of running Nokia into the ground. I mean, that was one hell of a company with some outstanding potential. It takes a lot of real talent to ruin something so perfectly.
I thank you for your reasoned response and suggest that your comments might be better received in this forum if coming from a proper ID as opposed to posting as AC. Just a thought.

I hope they don't learn about the absolutely lethal dihydrogen monoxide. They'll be all over that shit.
Oh, I let the cat out of the bag didn't I?

There is no "fear" here. "Think", "know", "are certain that", yeah all those. If there were any "fear" here we would be on the right track.
And a phone with so many antennae it looks like a porcupine.
At least if he's working for HP he won't be able to do any real harm to anyone any longer.
What's next? Pictures of cute kittens? Fuck Beta.
We're still trying 'everything else'.
Who in their right mind would believe anything the NSA says? They have lied to everyone about everything.
Imagine having to grant a dolphin the right to confront their accuser in a court of law.
You just got the attention of thousands of eager lawyers.
And he was probably right on over 90% of those things.
So, dogs will bark constantly when these devises are attempting to communicate? Bring Rover in to work with you. Problem solved.
"Yeah, we hacked your shit. Now GFO."

That's treason around here. Hand in your Slashdot card as you pass through the exit.
Do you still trust those same police officers to handle the other aspects of your case fairly?
Nope.
To make sure any exculpatory evidence is brought to light?
Nope.
To interrogate other witnesses without leading them towards a pre-set conclusion?
And... No.
I have been a juror on criminal trials and I am always surprised at how hard it is to tell the difference between the cops and the criminals.
Why don't they just arrest the people they want, charge them with 50 gazillion stupid "crimes" and then offer the "applicant" a plea deal in return for their cooperation? Just like we do here in the States.
It's shit like this that makes it hard for me to believe that they could find 15 of their countrymen intelligent enough to learn how to pilot a plane.

The best part of your plan is that it keeps all the patent attorneys gainfully employed. Amiright?
