We are going to die within +/-75 years of being born, and most of us are simply experiments in the gene pool.
How many people die 75 years before they are born? Not arguing with your statistics, but the thing that most people have in their heads that act as a central repository of thoughts and ideas seems to be malfunctioning in your case.
Because no one else would need to use weapons-grade encryption.
True, I don't need to use encryption everywhere, but I do just because I can. It amuses me that if anyone wants to snoop on my communications that they see the digital equivalent of an upraised middle finger, and not my plaintext.
I also enjoy the fantasy of someone spending an inordinate amount of resources to decrypt my emails only to discover that all I'm doing is sending LOLcat photos to my friends.
in USA you can get a decent lunch for a decent price.. but only when it comes to jeans and food.
These jeans taste terrible.But they're free, Hurrah!
What direct evidence?
The documents themselves, which are freely available on the internet. Dipshit.
Give up on the conspiracy bullshit. He is just trying to excuse what Snowden did. Snowden had physical access to the network and still had to social engineer passwords.
It's a bit naive to think that professional foreign intelligence spies don't have the same access a low level NSA contractor does. There are clearly no safeguards against copying anything you want and walking away with it. That's not conjecture; we have direct evidence how easy it is. The only difference is actual spies know enough to keep their mouths shut about how ineffectual and incompetent US security is.
You can if you have enough money to buy the legal process.
Yes, but no matter how much money the music industry throws at the issue, they can't compel my cooperation. And that's the beauty of it.
I started boycotting the music industry in the early 80's when music CDs started coming out. You could buy the same music, only for a much higher price than the vinyl alternative. I decided I was not going to participate in that racket, and haven't spent a penny on music since. How much money lobbying money was spent since that time is completely irrelevant (to me).
My that is interesting. My question is if everyone is anonymous and there are zero fees, then how do they expect to get their 1 million dollars back? Venture capitalists don't just give out money an expect nothing in return.
OK, you beat me to it. There have been a number of "What's the minimum amount of $LANGUAGE do you think I can get away in order to land my dream job? Preferably something that earns 6 figures...
Ok folks, I like answering questions but that's something I can't help you with
The data is useful, but it's only valuable if it can be put into some kind of meaningful context and converted into information.
Let's not stop there. Information once organized and processed may lead to actual knowledge. Armed with knowledge and good judgment you might obtain wisdom and insight, and only then do you stand a chance of making an appropriate decision. That's a tall order in itself, but becomes much harder when there multiple forces attempting to mislead you every step of the way.
I dunno I get pretty inpolite about a lot of these issues even in person. we are talking about people who enforce laws that are far more repugnant than anything said here. There is no justification at all for drug laws or suffering the tyranny lovers who make and enforce them.
I agree that the so-called "War on Drugs" is an abject failure, and if I were king for a day, it would end today.
What I find comical is the FBI action is against a world wide web forum, a website freely available for anyone on the planet to opine and pontificate as they see fit. It is probable that the majority of commenters don't even live in the US or are subject to US law. Its probably a bunch of kids who have nothing better to do but troll the FBI and the funny thing is, The FBI fell for it.
First there is a question of prestige here.
And authority. Who is going to take seriously the idea that backdoored encryption will be be properly safeguarded by the government when just in the past week they just turned over 4 million federal personnel records and an army website over to "hackers"?
One would have to be abysmally stupid to take information security advice from anyone with their track record. The next time you hear a government official claiming that making our systems less secure is a good idea the correct response is open ridicule and a slow, patronizing shake of the head.
These negotiating texts are supposed to remain secret for five years after TISA is finalized and brought into force.
What is the need for secrecy? If this is a good deal then doing out in the open is clearly the way to go. That they are attempting to bury it suggests that this a crappy deal for all but a select few.
