This only proves the person was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time. Sure there is some skill and intelligence involved. but sitting in a chair and filing important sounding decisions while your market and revenue grow do not always imply competence.By that logic, in some respects Ballmer is a god.

From wikipedia:

This... most people think 'their' representative(s) are not that bad, it's the others that suck, so they vote theirs in again. All a politician has to do is sell himself to his constituents on a few issues, say look at what I have done for you (if an incumbent or holder of other political positions), and smear everyone else into oblivion. It gets lapped up, and the cycle repeats ad nauseum.

Google needs to spend more time buying^h^h^h^h^h^h talking to legislators. It sucks that this is how it works nor, but government is for the people withe the most power and money, and with corporate personhood, this is how it rolls.

Was his name Valentine Michael Smith? And as noted in referenced book, the major christian religions partake in symbolic cannibalism regularly!

88x? What you did there, I see it!

However, by performing a MITM and stripping that encryption, there may be identifying information in those packets. They might not see Joe Bobs IP, but instead snatched his logon creds, shipping address and payment info that was mused at illegalgunemporium.biz and giantbuttplugs.info

...is a phone call if you cant speak?

Once you are in there they control your reality. If you try to wrest that control from them they will make you pay in some form. In my long experience (including family killed by police - unwarranted, and personally prison time), many to most cops are bullies, or grow to be so in the culture they work in. The ones that are not tend to get weeded out or self select out.

This guy should have never spoken to them. Period. Arrest me, give me a lawyer or let me walk out the door. No other words should have escaped his lips.

When you are innocent that is hard to fathom, especially without experience of this type of treatment, but unfortunately it is true. If yo notice, the cops involved slowly went through obviously non-related materials. What if he had his kids bath time photos/videos on there? An over zealous cop could have charges him with child porn charges. Oh, uploaded them to G+, that's distribution there sonny.

I know some of those still caught in the fear and slow panic the government and media feed them will attack and say that would never happen. To them, all I can say is wait till it happens to you.

It's a winner no matter which way you look up it.

I also don't see the huge issue here. Perhaps this is the fabled clickbait?

If an app is malicious and running on a machine, of course it can reroute, or look at data in RAM pre-encryption, or a number of other things.

If you want to be more secure, then only do secure comms on a trusted network, where any VPN routing is done outside of your potentially compromised device, and other routes are blocked.

Porn is what made VHS win the format war.

Xp eol has been extended to 2015. This was a needed fix even if not for server 2003.

I know I will be bombarded by right wing-nuts and tough love justice advocates (cold fjord are you here?), but does anyone not see the ridiculous hypocrisy of the death penalty?

You are not allowed to kill, but it okay for us to kill you.

I won't get into the fiscal debate as to whether it is cheaper to lock away someone for life or to execute with multiple appeals and proceedings. It shouldn't matter. If it is wrong to take a life, then it is wrong to take it in any circumstance. End of story. Then when you factor in the fact that we are constantly finding innocent people convicted (if not for death penalty offenses). Often due to poor representation, over zealous prosecutors, or shoddy politically or financially motivated police and forensic work, it would seem to me that the ethical cost of killing one innocent person would outweigh all of it. Even if our judicial system was perfect, humans make errors.

However, as with so much else in our society, our desire for vicarious retribution, our poor ability to truly judge relative risk, and the fear peddled by those in power to keep you caged keep winning.

Weather patterns are not random. Just as encrypted files are not random data. You may not be able to see the patterns, but they are there, and with enough knowledge and data points you can start to make predictions about it.

Are your RFID receivers also launched into the tornado? And if so, why not just use small light objects that are not living?

Think man!

Our college system trolls students with unneeded but course required new book editions. It trolls students with massive debt. It trolls science with god knows how many crap papers just became there is an constant push to publish, publish, publish. Why shouldn't they troll patents too?

The murican postsecondary education system, the troll under the bridge to your future.
