don't you think there would be many people in the US who would be happy if Mohammed Atta had of been arrested on similar charges Perhaps we should arrest anyone with suspicious behavior. Don't you think there would be many people who would be relieved a thoughtcriminal had been arrested on charges of twitching nervously instead of spreading his capitalist vibes throughout society?
Guess retarded includes you. The TPM is actually a separate chip with all sorts of crazy tamper resistance. It can't be enabled in software (each signed app that wants to use it has to register its hash with it) and requires the user to actually agree to a prompt in the BIOS before it will accept registrations from apps.
And by the way what's the deal with "stealth encryption chip"? It's not hidden and it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just a feature they've been building into laptops for a few years. This is not news.
Wow everyone's retarded. Just disable it in the BIOS, or rip it out. It doesn't do anything except provide secure, untamperable storage of encryption keys. If you disable it then you just won't be able to decrypt your DRMed games and music.. or use your OS at all if you're running on a Palladium platform.

What are the chances of puttering around for a few hundred meters on earth and randomly finding a human skeleton?..
"For typical neutrinos produced in the sun (with energies of a few MeV), it would take approximately one light year (~1016 m) of lead to block half of them."
How exactly would neutrinos be good for 100ly distances? Intergalactic Counter-Strike would be equally unplayable with 200 year latency as 200,000 year latency.
I for one don't want to be carrying around a billion light-years of solid lead worth of mass in my back pocket to be able to pick up a signal.. this seems like a problem with physics, not with how advanced the tech is.
I don't really get it.. why can't eve read the stream (altering it or destroying it or whatever) and send out the exact same stream- at least one that collapses to the same message (I don't know much about quantum waveforms but that at least seems possible).. a classic man in the middle
The internet is a worldwide network, and even if they get an ISP to cooperate, nobody else would share bandwidth with that ISP. The only reason botnets work is because they blend in with legitimate customers. If the military wants massive bandwidth they can make their own network, but it's not going to do them any good with DDoSing.
But CMB fills the entire universe, it doesn't come from one localized area. See the part of his post:
Good luck to you if you want to look for a very high temperature region.
Therefore we should never be able to see the early moment of big bang because the photons emitted then were all gone past us! Well I guess that's why half the night sky isn't some gargantuan fiery explosion. All we see are secondary sources of photons from stars and stuff.
Wouldn't firing this laser anywhere causally connected with the known universe make earth's water uncomfortably hot? Where do they get the power to run this thing anyway? Do they just jack into all of the power plants in the US for 200 femtoseconds and then release it all in a tenth of a femtosecond? And how does it make sense to refer to the generating capacity of all the power plants the US in terms of energy? There are no times, femtosecond or not, involved, watts are rates of energy consumption.

If you non-anonymously whistleblow on your own company what do you expect..
I don't think architecture portability is a concern when you're writing for a 768-core supercomputer :)

If you want to be idiotic and keep voting people into office that support this kind of nonsense, then ya gotta play by their rules..

Can't imagine it's very live what with the lightspeed delay..

Hardware isn't the issue at all.. it's an issue of bandwidth.
Holy crap, best idea ever. Shredding a 50-color pattern from memory in tune to high-tempo music.. o_o
Yeah, giving robots lasers that they can use to repair computer chips.. what could go wrong.
Java is platform portable? Oh wait this is a platform :[
If the NSA can listen in, then PGP isn't doing their job.
They did- and the penetration testers got access to internal-networked workstations and hacked from there.
He doesn't believe in the imaginary world..
