It's sad how many "programmers" I meet who have never even typed "make" let alone more interesting things like readelf and strace.
That's just elitism.
Wow, who knew Ben Affleck reads Slashdot?!
If both party's motives are pure, they should have no problem with one.
Well, if someone asks for a pre-nup he or she is already considering divorce to be a event with a rather high likelyhood. Is it really smart to marry someone who considers divorce a likely event?
It means nothing of the sort. It means they understand that life isn't a fairy tale, that anything is possible in human relations and that includes divorce, like it or not. Is it really smart to marry someone who lives in a fantasy land where bad things like divorce don't happen? Or worse, just don't happen to them because they're somehow special? Likelihood isn't the issue. Possibility is. Its always possible.
FTFY
Ding! Ding ! Ding! Ding!
You just nailed it spot on.
Perhaps this is why we call them 'users' (and why we're the 'other' industry that refers to its customers as 'users').
Bit optimistic, no?
Thar ya go.
So, essentially, the NSA is an industrial espionage agency and any government helping them is too dumb to notice it.
No, those other governments were already doing in with their own resources anyway. They were happy to have a new resource-rich partner.
Fuzzy recollection from my mid-to-late 90's Ecomonist-reading days: others (EU, Russia, China, Aus, SA, Japan, ok, pretty much everyone in the global economy) apparently had long made use of government intel assets for industrial/economic spying. There was a small stink when the US was caught doing similar things, except, it was only a small stink because the US was able to say "And here's what we saw while we were spying.. Here's the German spies, here's the UK spies, those are the French spies over there, let's see i know we have some Israeli's around here too, oh there they are discussing affairs with their Arab spy friends...." and so on, to which the collective response was something along the lines of "Oh. Yes, Well then..."
Or at least that was my take-away from the series of news articles and reports. There are no innocent parties.
To do nothing is to be nothing.
