We now conclude that the answer
to the reported question is, "Yes, where the defendant's compelled decryption would not
communicate facts of a testimonial nature to the Commonwealth beyond what the defendant
already had admitted to
investigators." Accordingly, we reverse the judge's denial of the
Commonwealth's motion to compel decryption.
So what they're saying is that since the decryption key isn't "testimony" it doesn't count under the 5th Amendment. (IANAL)
Does he live in such a powerful echo chamber / reality distortion field that he actually believes what he is saying, or does he have such disdain for the citizens that he is comfortable saying the opposite of what is true, to try to squeeze out a few extra votes from those who don't know any better?
If by "right side" he means leaning towards totalitarianism and increasingly corporatist/fascist views towards online freedoms, then ok, I guess I can agree.
Then why ask? Why get a warrant? We can't have the cops wasting their time on trivialities like rights of a homeowner/tenant or potential confusion about who owns the place.
To all the people who think we can't make cops' jobs harder: Boo-fuckin-hoo!! It's not supposed to be easy to throw people in jail! It's called due process for a reason. Trusting on law enforcement to "do the right thing" is just, gullible, naive and stupid to do.
I think all too often people forget that water is just the medium that life uses. Without energy of some kind to get life going and sustaining itself, water is going to be just that - water. Water plumes or not, I suspect Ceres is just a dirty, dead snowball.
So people with Ivy League degrees never lie? He definitely tries more at being smooth-talking and glib but I trust him even less than Bush. Which is more dangerous, an incompetent crook that is blunt and makes mistakes or a competent one that doesn't?
I don't see any of the "changes" they've made or have talked about making as protecting American freedom from a surveillance state. All I see is Washington trying to sweep things under the rug and bury things deeper.
We made a change, won't you please forget it ever happened now? OOooooh look over there!!! Shiny!!!
I believe their "Premium" paid version does provide some real-time scanning. Having never used it, I don't know how useful it is beyond it's removal tool capabilities.
Nothing was going to happen anyways since this guy's verdict is restricted to only his court's jurisdiction. Unless the SCOTUS wants to weigh in and give the (correct) answer, and have the attorney general prosecute the law breakers, if everyone doesn't get automatically pardoned anyway, nothing will happen regardless.
Of course they care about profits! In this instance though, it might just work to our advantage. These are companies with a LOT of money, and in politics money is far more important than than anything else. These companies actually have the money and clout to make anything at all change.
You really think the voters have a chance to make their voices heard?
The difference being that meatspace activism is almost pointless these days. It might get a 30 second mention on the news on a slow day, but otherwise you're just shunted into a "free speech zone", traffic gets routed around the protest and is flat out ignored.
Hacktivism on the other hand, has relatively immediate, noticeable (sometimes very much so) consequences that can either cost an organization money or if nothing else cause embarrassment.
Meatspace protests make you feel good, and are probably amusing to the powers that be. Online, a few people can a real nuisance, which is what activism is trying to do: be a nuisance until a change happens. [sarcasm] We can't have things like that happening in this country. Obviously we have to set an example for these 14 people. [/sarcasm]
You must know some really tiny 18-year-olds or some really big 2-year-olds! Most people I know are much more than twice as large as a 2-year-old when they become an adult.
Unless you mean brain size, in which case I think you're being generous to many adults.
This is completely normal these days actually. There used to be a woman that was (supposedly) allergic to various scents in the building where I work. We all got sent an email telling us to refrain from any fragrances, perfumes, colognes, or deodorant that would aggravate her condition.
After she left, the women in the building threw a party because they could wear perfume again...so yeah, it happens.
Because it never stops. It's a gigantic dragnet of everyone and everything. Sure, a huge majority of it is blah blah blah about how Sally is tired of putting up with Tom's crap and Judy's going to have a baby...
Where it becomes an issue is: you can find out anything you want to know about someone by who they talk to. Are they part of a union, are they part of a certain political/religious group, are they having an affair, did they talk to someone 2 months ago that went on a shooting rampage today....?
The entire purpose is to dig up dirt on people, and I don't trust anyone in the government to hold and use that information properly, professionally, competently, or ethically. It is a very dangerous tool that they have, and anyone who thinks it will only be used against "terrorists" is incredibly naive.

A relative lack of complacency and inertia.
No, but AT&T is following the bare minimum of the letter of the law in California. I would assume it's a much wider problem.
No actually, if you want fewer channels, or heaven forbid want just internet, you can expect to pay extra for that "privilege."
In theoretically-democratic Russia, Russian rocket crash jokes tell you!

Yes, and yes

But then the transponder would have still been on...
Because they have the money to get themselves elected.
Sooooo Snow Leopard got the SSL bug fix, which it wasn't vulnerable to and therefore didn't get the fix after all?

We can hope, because that's the only way that the general public will finally see how dangerous having this capability is.

Exactly.
Management doesn't want to hear about it.
Management doesn't understand it.
Management doesn't want to spend money on it.
Nothing happens until it becomes an "issue" and then it's somebody in IT who gets the axe while everyone above is covering their asses.
