The Brazillians are not stupid. Their president already indicated that they will build a cable across the Atlantic to South Africa to bypass the USA with most of their network traffic to Europe.
Most Brazilians do not speak English or Spanish and have no reason whatsoever to connect to anything in the USA. In the mean time, a South African built cable system runs around Africa to Portugal, which Brazil can conveniently hook up to, if they would build a cable across the Atlantic from Rio to Cape Town and then their international network traffic will not have to pass through the USA.
Probably the biggest mistake we made the last century was to change away from using copper and brass in hospitals, to stainless steel and chrome - turns out that copper cladded work surfaces is a very effective way to control bugs in hospitals and they don't get resistant to it.
Sure, but we can slow the NSA down a lot if they have to take their data home by US Mail, because it won't go through international Data Diodes placed on choke points all over the internet.
I tend to think that there are lots of people that want to disconnect North America from the rest of the internet and I don't think that we will miss them much either. We can firewall America - From The Outside - if we want to.
If you want to code, then you got to get used to code reviews. It is the only way to improve quality and a scientist that doesn't want to improve quality should not be a scientist.
No, I still blame them. They should have shut down their shop and moved overseas to a better location. Instead, they chose to defraud all their customers by selling snake oil for millions of dollars. The RSA company is a bunch of immoral fraudsters and they all deserve to be thrown in jail.
Your time window is too short! The northern glaciers have still not shrunk back to the point they were before the medieval 'little ice age' of about 500 years ago (people are still finding medieval artifacts melting out of the glaciers). The current temperature of the northern parts of the earth is only now approximately back where it was 1000 years ago and millions of years ago, the northern clime was much warmer between the real ice ages.
Oil sands mining is the world's largest environmental cleanup operation. They take polluted sand that some errant bacteria created hundreds of millions of years ago, wash it, and put the clean sand back, then plant it over with vegetation and the greens and still complaining about it...

Jamming radio is easy.
Sending pictures by wire was done in about 1840 actually - in France.

That is exactly what Barizil is going to do: Run a cable across the Atlantic to South Africa. That will allow them to bypass most of the US snooping.
All we need to do is firewall the USA - from the outside. That would be rather easy actually. Network choke points work both ways.
You are assuming that people in other countries actually find USA content interesting. Most people don't. That is why there are different countries.
Finally Sandy Island actually exists - just a wee little bit offset to the north...

No it is not cridiculous. It is a very convenient way to remove an opponent...
Well, the obvious solution is more gun control and disarming the galaxy.

One time pads are useless.
Yup, all that already happened a few years ago.
Some smart guys at Microsoft already explained it years ago. A quick Google wil get the info for you.
Yeah, well, now they will have close the company anyway, since all their customers are running for the hills. They have already announced lay-offs.
It is a Canadian case. You'll have to snow board them.
Uhhh... Tigers can climb trees. Estimating the weight of a rock big enough to pin the tiger's tail, may have been more useful.

I hate Microsoft as much as the next geek, but blaming global cooling on Oracle and MS Access is going a bit too far don't you think?

Excuse me, but don't you mean: "my museum collection, eh."?
I'm sorry, but there, I fixed it for you, eh.
