I look forward to the day that Windows is uniform/compliant across the board with all other Internet scripting. If they can do that then I will take them serious. If not then they can just shut up cause I heard it all before.
How much that 2 day cure will cost a month? Judging by how much they are charging people for other new drugs... I don't have 2-4 thousand a month to dish out. So much for them eradicating diabetes!
They collected everything they could on us, and nothing we have is hidden. They have it all. Metadata can spotlight many things in a person. Their likes, dislikes health family banking, credit cards etc. Phone records and recording is nothing compared. I said before they have all of this and then some. I stand by what I say. They can write a book about you.
Now that new rules are in place I don't believe you are anymore private than you was before the new rules. The NSA is a very private entity. Security suppose to be top notch. Keeping things hush-hush is part of their job. So they very well could do this behind our backs, and we would be none the wiser. We only know what few areas we were told they are storing on us. But it's a lot. You don't think they need over one million square feet, and contain Four 25,000-square-foot facilities to house rows and rows of servers that can hold endless data just to store phone and Google searches do you? These are just the ones we know about.

The US will not let Snowden have a free card. If they nab him it will be the last time the public will see him. If he is shot in a foreign country the US can deny and blame it on who ever they like. Might as well face it Snowden will be forever checking behind himself. He will never ever be a free man.
Window's and Linux Android and Apple is nothing more than a payola gateway for the Apps makers to bleed money out of their fan base at every turn. Want extra users? you get 3 extra for $2.99 and above. game tools you pay out the yang for. more board play? pay for it. It's getting ridiculous. Soon the masses will start paying attention to their bank accounts and see all those apple purchases and realize they are not worth it. I stopped dishing out the same month I was purchasing. Why? because many of those games are rigged. Watch your games when you first play without the pay you have moves you can do the game stays the same level through out your play. As soon as you put money down the game gets harder and very difficult to win. Even Rovio is getting in on the payola bandwagon. it won't last, and I don't see this move by the manufacturers being a win for anyone, including them. All anyone has done so far is let these Apps get out of hand. They soon will be making money by charging 99 cents just for you to download their stuff. Gone will be free. They will use such jargon as this allows you to receive updates or some crap they think up.
The Internet will split three ways. One for the filthy rich, another for those that don't care, or too dumb to care that they can't see the whole Internet at good speeds, and the third internet will be put in place by a group of people that gives a damn for the people.
As much in goods as the USA buys from China it would do more harm for them to pull a stunt like that. Oh fret! China is just letting off steam for publicity, they can't stand the US being in the news for the last 16 days. China was in the news how many times?
But what can be done? "Outrage" doesn't achieve anything. It became abundantly clear the moment senior members of the military were caught lying and nothing was done, that what the public think doesn't matter. So why should the public make a fuss? Waste of energy.
CNN and the likes are just reflecting the fact that the general story is by now well known and not news. The NSA lies and is totally out of control. It does everything the most paranoid people ever imagined, and more. OK. Got it. Next story.
But make no mistake. The right people are still paying attention. Behind the scenes there's a lot going on in a lot of places. All kinds of people who previously would not have included government agencies in their threat models are now starting to do so. Change will take years, perhaps decades, and enormous amounts of technical talent is going to be wasted fighting the US government by trying to blind it with more effective encryption. Success is by no means guaranteed. But without a doubt those members of the general public who have the ability to take part in that are still paying attention.
Nullification can be done. Refusal or failure of a U.S. state, city, county to recognize or enforce a federal law within its boundaries.
<quote>Thomas Jefferson, draft of the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 first introduced the word “nullification” into American political life, and follow-up resolutions in 1799 employed Jefferson’s formulation that “nullification…is the rightful remedy” when the federal government reaches beyond its constitutional powers. In the Virginia Resolutions of 1798, James Madison said the states were “duty bound to resist” when the federal government violated the Constitution.
But Jefferson didn’t invent the idea. Federalist supporters of the Constitution at the Virginia ratifying convention of 1788 assured Virginians that they would be “exonerated” should the federal government attempt to impose “any supplementary condition” upon them – in other words, if it tried to exercise a power over and above the ones the states had delegated to it. Patrick Henry and later Jefferson himself elaborated on these safeguards that Virginians had been assured of at their ratifying convention.</quote> read more here: http://www.libertyclassroom.com/nullification/
cities, counties, and states need to nullify any and all parts that go against the Constitution.
This is the real reason as to why the Feds haven't touched a hair on the heads of the States that legalized pot.
I personally don't give a shit if you are left or right, I lean so socialist I'm often called "Slashdot's resident hippie" yet I think Obama should be investigated to see what he knew and Holder should be cooling his heels in prison right now, and that he is not just shows what he was doing was approved of by those at the top. Treason can only flourish if none dare call it treason and if you go by the government's own standards and consider drug cartels to be narco-terrorists? Then Holder aided terrorists and should be in jail and possibly looking at the death penalty.
It is not just Obama that needs investigating it's the whole Government. For decades now it has been one thing or another going on. It's either Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Israel, Mexico cartel, or it's Iraq, or even the United States. We have had maybe just a few stable months without havoc. The rest was he said, she said, he did, or did not do, or a war was brewing, or civil unrest was eminent. You are either for us, or against us. Lastly it has been be damned if we do, and be damned if we don't. The list goes on. We can't win for loosing because we are just cycling through the same crap at a different place all the time.
What is all looks like to me is our Government has let all of that power they have go to their head. They proved it too by creating a monster called the NSA. Now the Senate and House want Americans to do their bidding and just agree with what they are doing to the laws in our land that they created. A few Americans are sitting on their bumpers in front of the TV hoping everything comes out OK. The others don't care as long as they have a roof over their head a meal on the table and a 25.6 hour a week job to go to. Sheesh:/ What a mess.
America did built internment camps in the 1940's for Japanese-American US citizens, has used mass graves for Native Americans during the Trail of Tears, and just recently held an entire major US city under lock down to catch 2 suspected bombers
So much for the "lots of guns" joke.
Yes and under the lock down they got in lots of practice! I think they did a swell job don't you?/s
will allow it to store credit data for them then down the road you will hear about the worst security breech of consumer data including their credit, debit and paypal accounts. They will whimper and ask how did it happen? After getting the sorry excuse... Then it will be pushed to the side just like the many other breeches in consumer data in the past. meanwhile the robots will just order a new card and move on like nothing happened.

It's not a secret anymore! Your mileage may vary.

HA! HA!
Make sure there is lead in them. :/
They got off lite
They know the Japanese Constitution is meaningful and should never be stomped on. I mean who creates a Constitution and then ignores it? OH WAIT!
Must be tough looking at innovation everywhere and not seeing anything exciting come to the court room since the tape recorder. :/
What countries can the NSA not order you to hand over the keys to your encrypted files or servers? Is there a list?
Just seems you just move your content to a server not residing in North America.
Just asking cause everyone is discussing this but no one is posting good solutions.
The NSA/Gov will just get them blacklisted. See the Search engines do a good job when they have too.
"Does that put the NSA/FISA on the side of dictatorships and other anti-freedom nations?"
.... Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!
No
every time the US does this crap it is a opportunity for China to pounce or any nation for that fact because we are vulnerable.
As much in goods as the USA buys from China it would do more harm for them to pull a stunt like that. Oh fret! China is just letting off steam for publicity, they can't stand the US being in the news for the last 16 days. China was in the news how many times?
One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain't nothin' can beat teamwork.

1. They will be sued until they are broke.
2. The search engines will be told to blacklist their site.
