Until wireless cards are "readily accessible" open WiFi still requires some effort, and intention, to access.
Practically every cell phone and laptop are WiFi capable, as are quite a number of tablets, cameras, printers, and televisions. Heck, there's even exercise equipment with WiFi. Accessing open WiFi takes no more effort than tuning in a shortwave broadcast does.
If the government can force a reporter to reveal their source, then is there a safe way to reveal government corruption (other than hiding out in foreign countries and embassies)?
It isn't conveying anything. They've deliberately changed the word confidant to cosmonaut in an attempt to see how many people they can lure into correcting them. As Admiral Ackbar says, "It's a trap"!
What about witnessing against your spouse, parent, or child? Suppose the prosecution has built a fairly firm, but circumstantial case against your child (who, let's say, is not guilty of the crime in question). Suppose that the actions that you witnessed would serve to incriminate your child. Further suppose that the death penalty lies in wait. Should you be compelled testify against your child?
They aren't, but here's the problem: Which orders are legal and which are not? Are American soldiers deployed in foreign lands bound by the laws of that land, or by US laws? Can a tank commander drive through a fence that says No Trespassing? Can a soldier drive a humvee without a local license? Can a soldier legally carry a weapon? Explosives (grenades, land mines)? Do female soldiers need to wear veils?
Ha ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia," but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never correct an AC who is deliberately misquoting song lyrics"! Ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha. Ha-!#@$NO CARRIER.
Sorry. I don't buy it. If there is solid matter, then it must have a surface. At some point there are going to be molecules that are part of the solid's lattice, and some that are not.
There's plenty of dung, like between your ears, for starters.
That may be true. However, there are three problems. First, my ears (and what's between them) are no where near the camps. Second, I don't think dung burns bonfire style. I think it just sort of smoulders. And third, how will the missiles be able to tell if the fire is a dung fueled decoy fire, or a dung fueled cooking fire, because, trust me, you don't want to get goat and lentil stew on your hellfire missile.
Drones are far from cheap. Wikipedia puts MQ-1 Predator unit cost (as of 2010) at $4.03 million. How is that cheap?
F-15 Eagle: $30 million
F-14 Tomcat (Top Gun): $38 million
F-18 Hornet: $41 million
F-22 Raptor: $139 million
That's how it's cheap. Throw in the fact that when you shoot down a drone, you don't lose a pilot that cost years of expensive training that could easily run into a fair fraction of a million dollars to replace, and drones are as cheap as dirt.
But Google's figured out that they can just tack AND NOT($EvilBit) onto all of their outbound traffic, and they can be as evil as they wish while appearing all good and shiny.
You can send the public key any way you like. The entire point behind having a public key is that it is public. That's why they call it a public key. Encrypting it defeats its purpose.
Which means they couldn't do it off their own bat, without risking public money?
No, All it means is that they took advantage of an available resource. It does not mean that they couldn't have done it without it. Yes Joe Taxpayer would have footed the bill, but Joe Taxpayer's representatives said it was worth the risk.

MOOC stands for massive open online course.

You are. Google is a false front for the NSA. That's why this case will disappear.
Maybe he's one of the Ten Thousand
stop trying, use git instead
... or one of the many alternatives.
...you'll need to put a process in place to lock the file in question prior to editing to prevent people stomping over others' changes to them.
That's one of the fundamental functions of version control software. No?

"Against himself" is the key term here.

It's a legal quagmire.

there could be something exotic and cool like a sea of giant carbon crystals floating on the molten core.... would you call that a surface?
Sounds to me like the raw ingredients for a diamond volcano spewing molten carbon.
Sorry. I don't buy it. If there is solid matter, then it must have a surface. At some point there are going to be molecules that are part of the solid's lattice, and some that are not.
We will not be sure until we have completely explored ... the surfaces of every rocky planet and moon in the Solar System.
Is there a particular reason that you are excluding the gas giants?

I'm such a tactical genius! And to think, I flunked military science!
It shows. The ground is so saturated with oil over there that trees won't grow. So where are you going to get the wood to build all those bonfires?

How can the NSA know that an encrypted piece of traffic is none of their business unless they decrypt it?
But Google's figured out that they can just tack AND NOT($EvilBit) onto all of their outbound traffic, and they can be as evil as they wish while appearing all good and shiny.
They will hang you upside down or send pictures of your family until keys are revealed.
Tell us the key or we'll make you look at your sister again!

It also wouldn't fit on a 300mm (diameter) wafer...
Well... perhaps if you cut the ingot lengthwise instead of normal to the axis?

No. But you will have to inform callers they are being charged when they call your number.
