Who said that?

Perhaps we cannot build the Elysium in the space but it is definitely possible to build (and perhaps is already built) on earth.

Just look into a few very rich countries and a few very poor ones. Everyone in the poor countries wishes to go to those rich ones (by boats which are sometimes drown or possibly targeted by those rich countries). Just see how Australia for example handles those people. They now send them to another poor country to keep them away from Australia.

On a side note, just 40 years ago who thought 1984 story would materialize? And we now have something much frightening than George Orwell's visions. Who knows what is and what is not possible in 140 years. I am sure we will see much much worse things than those atrocities of Elysium in this time span.

You cannot access the links because Dotcom's privacy policy has been applied to them and that does not allow you.

Are you serious?

She is just seeking reinstatement. They sacked her from her job claiming she has abused sick leave. The proof is on the employer and it should not require the person's privacy to be ruined for that.

Don't take the fun out of it please :) !

Perhaps it means to change the configuration on "genuine access points" in a way that clients are not required to set vulnerable settings on their phone.

I was thinking almost the same. Is it possible that the use the leak as a cheaper alternative to gathering/cleaning/storing of those materials?

I wouldn't be surprised. Japanese people proved to be disciplined, ethical and good while their companies (e.g. Tepco) proved to be irresponsible, corrupt and liar.

So what? Many of the things YOU use iin the united states were initially invented in other countries/lands.

The internet comprises of the network infrastructure which belongs to different countries. Parts of the net which reside in those countries and have been paid by them belong to them.

Next you want to say because Graham Bell invented phone, all the phone network of the world belongs to YOU?

If you are talking about the encryption of communication channel then it is useless. If either of the two sides is accessible to spying agencies (ISP side or the user side) that would be useless.

If you are talking about encrypted files, then even that is not safe. You realize that the files are available in unencrypted format at least on Person's computer? If the person's PC is compromised, nothing is safe.

As a non-American I found that very assuring!

It is still being sold (for $35).

See this for example: http://www.lelong.com.my/emusic-tv-mobile-phone-white-colour-bestrade-133750967-2013-08-Std-P.htm

I had a $50 Chinese dual simcard phone which had a TV tunner and an ugly small antenna in 2008 :) It looked like a ripped off Nokia phone but sometimes it was better than the nokia.

The reception was ok if the Antena was in proper direction.

Spying could be interpreted as act of war ... you know

You cannot just spy on countries and do not expect consequences.

Let me predict what will be revealed after this.

NSA and CIA have been working on a "behavior modeling and prediction" software for almost 20 years with huge research budgets. Very famous scientists (some of the top researchers in MIT and other institutes) have worked on the system.

Give the data to the software and it will reveal/predict things that you yourself could not remember/know.

This is a scary situation. It is really messy.

Besides, there is no rule to prohibit surveillance of non-American or communications between non-American and an American.
