Based on the FBI list lets take a look at who they consider terrorists shall we?
People who are concerned about privacy, and shield the screen from view. Are seen using multiple cell phones, or sim swapping use of anonymizers or other IP blockers encryption users Asking about voice and data encryption http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/25-more-ridiculous-fbi-lists-you-might-be-terrorist-if
Tea party? terrorist occupy group? terrorist believe in the constitution? terrorist
and not terrorists, but the FBI considers fans of a band to be gang members. It would be like calling dead heads a gang. The band in question is the insane clown posse http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/08/showbiz/juggalo-gang-lawsuit/
Long story short, anyone on slashdot is a terrorist in the eyes of the FBI
Agreed completely. I am no fan of apple or its walled garden, but this post to me just seems like clickbait. I am sure apple has contributed to projects in the past, just because its not the project the sumbitter wants it to be doesnt make it non existent.
exactly, He answered the wrong question, The correct question should have been " will you allow the use of these tools against americans without disclosure" I dont mind if they are spying on others as that is their job, but it is not their job to spy on us in america. (we can argue the merits of spying on other countries another day)
in 2009 this was an issue, it shouldnt be an issue 5 years after win 7 and another OS after it has come out. People have poor planning if they are still having issues with software that doesnt work on anything but XP*
* there are always exceptions to the rule, but in general people should have had plenty of time to work on replacements at this point
you dont think that the government would jump in and say that the largest producer of content and delivery system is "too big to fail" and then give them tons of our money to ensure that they can keep raping us with fees? I can see the government doing that
Does not mean that it is a good idea. Why would anyone want the company called the worst company in the world to take over another company? Time warner is not great by any stretch of the imagination, but comcast makes them look like gold
when I send a request to the server, I am knocking on your door. You can either tell me I am welcome, or you can refuse entry. If you tell me I am welcome then you cant also try and claim i accessd something without authorization because your server did authorize it
in 2009 id agree with you, but its 2014 now, and the numbers have not gone down, there has been trillion dollar deficit spending for years which Ill give you some of that was for the war (some of that was also for obamacare if we want to be honest)
http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/federal_deficit_chart.html So I will see your point that the spending is going down (thanks largely to the sequester) however the spending levels are still higher than bush (and for the record I was bitching about bush spending as well years ago)
I will aso note that spending did not drop down under 1 trillion until the republicans took control of the house. Long story short, there is plenty of blame to go around. but we can either waste our time blaming people who are no longer in a position to do anything or we can work on those we can
Agreed, and 500 years is not really a large enough sample on a planet that is billions of years old either. Now we could make the argument from civilization on or say a number more like 50K years. and on top of that we are using different methods of obtaining the temprature today then we have in the past, be it better tools, or monitors in different locations. I still want more information because I am willing to concede that the temp is going up, I dont agree with the reason for it, or the options people want to try and fix the "problem"
I blame shifted nothing, go back to my posts over the past 10 years you will see just as much vitriol in my posts against bush as you do now against obama. The difference is simple, bush is gone, not in power anymore, theres nothing we can do about that. but we CAN do something about the person sitting in the office now.
I will agree with everything you just said, as long as you dont have a double standard and want to see the current admin locked up for being bush 2.0. If you cant agree to that, you are simply being a political pawn
sorry you are correct, I did mean debt, which again someone said was unamerican in the past. But yeah, im a fucktard because i mistyped something. You could have ended it after your second sentence and gotten the same point across without sounding like a smug asshole
The issue has nothing to do with gitmo. Nor the fact that he's a man, or that he is Black. The real issue here is the massive deficit that we now have, that was called unamerican when it was half as big, also the issues we have with drone warefare on americans without trial, and also obamacare
Yet We get called racists for that statement I just made all the time....
I see what you are saying, and I was using hyperbole intentionally, I would wager there is a large cross section who are angry with her who were also against Eich.
I only brought in the bit about other reasons to dislike dropbox as a side note, i didnt put much behind it, and my point wasnt so much that because of XX we shouldnt criticize YY, thats a bad way to do things but I can see how it looked that way
My only point here is that she is no longer in government, should her life be ruined over the fact that she made some mistakes while in government? Should clinton be banned from working based on her handling of benghazi? or her support of drone use?? of course not and no one would say such a thing. but this is a conservative woman, the rules dont seem to apply there.
I was simply pointing out the huge double standard that exists today and has for quite some time. Say something about a college student demanding free rubbers?? sexcist!! Call sarah palin whore? get a TV show on MSNBC.
The double standard is very evident to anyone who is not blinded by republican/democrat
those numbers are all well and good, but when I see the deficit has damn near doubled in 6 years, when obama called that kind of debt unamerican to be a problem, as did 2006 obama.
I guess I just look at things different than most here, as I hated bush and hate obama damn near equally, I find both of them to be detrimental to the american way of life. Instead of cheerleading for one asshole over the other turd sandwich, I prefer to look at them both on their own merits, and frankly obama has been the biggest divider in american history since the civil war
I am not calling for people to do that, my side tends to be better than that. I was simply pointing out what those do all the time with that statement. They like to accuse the other side of being racist and waging a war on women, and now they are trying to railroad a woman of color? You know damn well if this was a liberal woman, and the conservatives were doing this al sharpton would be all over the place screaming at the top of his lungs how Conservative hate women and are racists. I was pointing out the cry baby antics of those who want to see everything they dont like destroyed rather than just allowing them to do what they want
As i said in the previous article on the the mozilla CEO, I have no issue with boycotts, Hell I dont go to walmart or starbucks, I dont use ebay, and I tell my friends that I dont and my reasons. But there is a big difference between that, and activly trying to force someone out of a job as they did with mozilla, and want to do here.
Icant lie, id laugh if she did get firresign, but it doesnt make it the right thing to do

id pay 200 max, and will when it can be had for that

or is he admitting the next one is already in the wild, and they are already exploiting it?

That is also a good point AK, simply blaming people does nothing whether they ar ein power or not if we dont do anything about it.
you dont think that the government would jump in and say that the largest producer of content and delivery system is "too big to fail" and then give them tons of our money to ensure that they can keep raping us with fees? I can see the government doing that
im going to assume that was sarcasm and everyone missed it. at least I hope so

you mean like everyone who keeps bringing up the koch brothers all the time? yeah exactly!

gitmo is still open, so we dont know if he is or is not torturing people....
I will agree with everything you just said, as long as you dont have a double standard and want to see the current admin locked up for being bush 2.0. If you cant agree to that, you are simply being a political pawn

are you really going to call a black woman a bigot?? lol the irony
.... /s???
so you oppose obama as well right? He has just as much blood on his hands at this point, or do drones not count?
those numbers are all well and good, but when I see the deficit has damn near doubled in 6 years, when obama called that kind of debt unamerican to be a problem, as did 2006 obama.
I guess I just look at things different than most here, as I hated bush and hate obama damn near equally, I find both of them to be detrimental to the american way of life.
