We need a commercial version of a Class I Crypto and partitioned systems. Basically, private industry need to start doing the same things that the military IT services have been doing for the past 50 years. The so called 'firewall' concept needs to be strengthened to form a really secure barrier.
Yah, the problem has always been with the bean counters who don't understand technology and who are all gung ho about the cloudy thing in order to save a few pennies. Now at least, one can point out the potential cost of all the law suits and lost business due to the loose control over information as a countering force.
The sad thing is that every disk drive sold this century has a low level secure erase function built in, but practically no-one knows about it. You can activate it with hdparm.
A National Security Letter, is the worst bloody thing that can happen to anyone, since it instantly turns the subject into a second class citizen, who cannot get a mortgage, cannot buy a car, cannot fly, cannot travel out of the country and best of all, cannot find out why, talk, or do anything about it either. The only thing such a person can do is walk south to another country, since being an illegal in South America would be better, because if you have a a white skin, everyone will assume that you are in fact legal and if you have a dark skin, everyone will assume that you belong there anyway.
Yup, the sad fact is that torture actually works and it can save lives when executed properly. That is why militaries the world over still does it and will continue to do so, despite what any pussyfooting public apologists may say, or want everyone to believe.
...because once the meta data indicates a problem, you need to look/listen/read the real data, which you can then only do if you had prerecorded it. Therefore the NSA (and others) record EVERYTHING - including this silly post.
On Mac an Linux: Connect printer; Something churns for about 5 seconds; Use printer. Pretty much the same as on Windows, just a lot faster.

Funny, I have fibre to my home and everything comes over that, TV, Phone and Internet. However, the problem is still that there is nothing worth wathing on TV. The streaming technology advances don't make TV any better.
...or you can use Streamtuner and Streamripper and then it is yours forever without having paid for it.
In practice, music eventually gets boring, so keeping your music forever is a waste of disk space. If you don't agree with that sentiment, then you are still too young. Just wait another twenty years, then we can talk again.
Radiation is a serious issue and can corrupt the stored program as well as runtime operation. Commercial devices will not last long in space. Even plastics degrade and shrink in space, due to evaporation of volatiles so the connectors will fall apart after a while. Another issue is the launch phase. The vibration of a rocket system is extreme and parts can break off the boards. Conformally coating the electronics and gluing down all heavy parts with RTV will make it last a little longer. Don't expect more than a few weeks of service life, if they even get to orbit in a working condition.

Of course it can be undone - shut the spy operation down and throw the servers into the sea.
Actually, he might agree. He had a sure thing going until he suffered a mental break down and confessed.

The NHS fine should be doubled for stupidity.
There are many similar services in other countries. Startpage is hosted in the Netherlands for example.

Don't worry, there is no 'list'. They simply record everything and everyone and be done with it.

The bottom line is that any online communications is less secure than a postcard nailed to a tree in a park.
It will take off once a 3D printer works with a 3D camera and 3D Photoshop.
Dildomation - there's bound to be an app for that.

Streaming online using multicasting is conceptually the same as OTA.
Dur - streamtuner and streamripper are free and does the same as Jaksta, but if you have 50 bucks to waste, go ahead.

You don't even need a door in Windows - you just need a brick (script kiddie) to smash it.
The guy you hire to maintain the software and fix a bug that is causing accounting errors - he will read it.
If there was a band of gold circling the earth and the Ariane space truck could go and get a tonne at a time - it would not be worth it.

Now why is this devolving into a gay thread about homo phones?
