..."Have a friend that excels in math and science? Report him!"

Time to clean up the Romper Room in Washington DC and put adults in charge.

Indeed. As to the latterr, the raw misogyny of people who dismiss the LOVEINT revelations as trivial make the Gamergate cretins look like Betty Friedan.

Well, then, you need to throw out the bastards in government who caused that to happen with their bad policies.

Well, then, you need to do it quickly.

Obviously succeeding generations do not get to be as conservative as their parents -- if they did, we'd still have COLORED ONLY water fountains.

Yes. The revelations, and public reactions to them (the real public reaction as expressed in the marketplace, not whatever jaw-flapping occurs in response to some inane telemarkepollster call) have led to security improvements. The fact that it has also led to the entertaining spectacle of useless bureaucrats running around pissing and moaning and whining and generally making fools of themselves in public is just a bonus.

Maybe so, but having a dozen Al Capones and a legion of Al Capone wannabes slinging lead willy-nilly turned out to be a greater evil.

Since you regard stalker behavior as acceptable, you really ought to be required to wear a sign expressing this belief so that potential girlfriends will be forewarned.

The problem is that I don't believe his implicit statement about what exactly his job is. He wants us to think that it's all about catching Bad People who are pretty much universally recognized as such; the reality is that it keeps extending to personal and political opponents of the people in power.

Snowden has created an environment where some technology companies are less comfortable working with law reinforcement

No, dickweed, YOU created an environment where some technology companies are less comfortable working with law reinforcement by abusing your privileges.

If you have a global auto-type key set (Ctrl-Alt-A by default), you can get KeePass to autotype your username and password. The details can be fiddly (especially for site where they have some weird notion that forcing you to load a new page between entering username and entering password enhances security somehow), but it generally works if you have the URL field filled out in the individual KeePass entries.

"Because anyone who's ever put a large pot full of water on the stove (for example for canning) can tell you that it will NOT boil off in half an hour."

One detail that's forgotten: BTU In short, a fireman can tell you that a hose, with 150ish gallons of water per minute coming from it, flowed into a fully fire-involved room.....you're going to see very little runoff for the first minute. The amount of water converted to steam instantly is way, way more than your pot of water can hold.

Most air in a burning house *at the floor* is below the boiling point of water. You can easily have a thermal gradient of several hundred degrees in a room. 150 degrees on the floor. 500 degrees at chest level, 900+ degrees at the ceiling.

To the original poster: offsite storage. Everything else is a game of mental masturbation.

Fixed it.

Under these circumstances, it certainly does. The perpetrator cop showed by his behavior that for him the police uniform is just another set of gang colors. Photographing a gang-banger doing something the gang-banger would prefer to be kept secret is dangerous for obvious reasons.

It's an inference derived from newly available evidence, which is the exact opposite of a preconceived notion.
