and we have known about NSA- microsoft cooperation for a long time.
I used to think I was paranoid to think that among Windows updates they were updating a database to flag me if certain IP addresses were visited.
Now it seems very reasonable and even likely.
I wish there were phone companies that had the balls to tell the government that a National Security Letter or a subpoena isn't a warrant and can't compel them to turn over any damn records
Except that a subpoena does compel them to hand over the requested records.
A warrant is different. A warrant authorizes the police/feds/etc to make a search of a person and/or their property.
They could challenge the subpoena and ask the court to quash or modify it, for example if it is too broadly written in terms of what they want handed over. But that is a real slim chance especially when it is a Federal Agency behind the subpoena.
...If there is water trapped under ice as is speculated, we could produce oxygen for breathing and mix it with the plentiful nitrogen to make air similar to what we have on Earth.
Too bad there isn't any oxygen otherwise all that methane would be pretty damn useful for power and heat.
Looks like you just solved the problem?
uhm... that does somewhat beg the question as to how many times you've murdered her already.
No, it does not somewhat beg the question.
That raises a new question.
uhhh
There's noise in bittorrent? Weird. I always thought that anyone who was on a torrent was...well...contributing to the signal. The only noise would be those using TOR or something like it, which would be trivial to filter.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
