The latter is closer, but I think they were so busy setting up their giant McCarthytron and trying to catch the first signs of the coming Western Spring that they forgot to look for *actual terrorists.* Dzokhar Tsarnaev did the digital equivalent of setting up giant neon signs saying "TERRORIST HERE!" and the NSA didn't notice.
The FBI was probably too busy grooming pissed off young Muslims into "terrorists" they could arrest and parade in front of the media.
That is why a court order is needed. So now all the big companies will use the same method on all of their communications.
Of course the court could just order you to turn over your password.
Many former British colonies attained independence peacefully around the mid-20th century.
If your in Cuba odds are the NSA is not your real worry.
Those are hard to come by. Might I suggest a computer running OpenBSD?
Lock it down so they do not have access to root and you should be pretty secure as far as malware. OpenBSD is very secure and frankly desktop malware does not target the 6 people using OpenBSD for desktops.
The odds of them getting exploited is very low.
Yeah, I could do with one of those office-space meme's right now.
If all the nay-sayers faux-gasping at the extreme length of 2.5m could shut up, that'd be great.
I'm not sure what people expect these days - this is a major achievement - whether it *can* be extended, or whether it *will* be extended would be different achievements. You could almost apply Jackson's rules of optimisation to this (refresher below) - in that first you *do* it, and only then (if you're an expert) do you try to do it *well*.

Jackson's rules of optimisation: "The First Rule of Program Optimization: Don't do it. The Second Rule of Program Optimization (for experts only!): Don't do it yet."
I'll have mine with two big hands painted on the sides XD
Sorry, first *widebody* plane with outward-opening cargo doors...and also the first widebody plane.
Outward-opening cargo doors are standard on airliners nowadays, the 747 was the first to have them.
Yes and no.
The whole work from home thing is becoming less common. Agile development is doing a good job killing it.
The Saturn V first stage.
Yes it did and any company that pushes the envelope will have failures. The list of Intel failures is very long but no one seems to remember any but the last.
They still have a lot of experience and a lot of successes.
The KC-135 that is still in server underdelivered for the money?
You sir are just nuts.
First of all is anyone shocked by this? Really people you think this is news? I mean next you tell me that Sun is hot.
Second this needs to be put under the politics category.
I hide Politics on Slashdot so I do not have too see this kind of story.
It is not that I am not interested in political news, the reason is that the quality of comments and editing on anything political on Slashdot is so bad.
If you disagree on the quality that is fine but Slashdot let's the users hide categories for a reason. Helpful hint editors while it does not apply to this story if the word Republican or Democrat are in the title it is politics.
