I wonder if they're doing it already?
And how do you think they have been able to make multiple arrests in the Silk Road case? Hmmm...?
Gee, I mean, of course, Ross Ulbricht had pretty much zero SecOps, babbling this way and that on different forums, but it's still very suspicious he and other Silk Road operators and ''customers'' got arrested so fast.
I'll second that one. My first Android phone was really bad. It was slow, buggy, full of crapware, and a pain to use.
I "switched" to a Samsung Galaxy Note, and never looked back. The user experience was simply great, almost as good as an iPhone, but much cheaper and with none of the iTunes crap.
I am now using a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7, and I absolutely love them both. My next smartphone will be either the next generation of Nexus, or the next Samsung.
Yeah, I mean, take a look at NASA, it always had such a proud and distinguished record...
Oh, wait...
Seriously though: whether in Russia or in the USA, such an important agency, in charge of a large budget, is bound to generate fraud and shady dealings. At least, the Russian government is doing something about it.
Use the Firefox plug-ins Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Self-destructing Cookies, and Better Privacy and everything will be pretty much wiped out.
See above: enable "Do Not Track" in the Firefox Options/Privacy tab and you are (hopefully) in the clear.
Nah, just business as usual.
For pure evil, you have to go to Wall Street.
That's because it doesn't affect most people. Besides, in relative terms it isn't too bad. Yes, pervasive surveillance infringes people's rights[1], and (speculatively) a small number of people who haven't done anything wrong get hurt by that. But the US (and the rest of the 5 eyes) aren't China, or North Korea, or ISIS. They aren't actively killing or seriously repressing large numbers of their own people. All this stuff just doesn't impact on the life of Joe Ordinary, so he doesn't care.
Some people within the United States may disagree with you. Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, meet Pot.
It has been ringing continuously since 1840, and will probably continue for a long time.

And there you have the reason why almost nobody uses OpenBSD.
Yeah, well, I use OpenBSD, and I know a ton of people who use it for, say, firewalls, routers and other. And, yes, even web servers an other stuff.
Seriously, man: PHP? Really?
[...] Maybe OpenBSD could create a section on their web site that provides documentation on the advantages of BSD over Linux as well as some advice on how to avoid common pitfalls that Linux users typically make in BSD. [...] In any event, I'm curious to see what I'll miss coming from the Linux world after spending some time in OpenBSD.
On a semi-related note: what's with replacing nginx with their own http daemon? Is the NIH syndrome spreading to OpenBSD as well?
Nope, they have explained at legnth that nginx was getting too big, and its developpers too unresponsive, for it to be a part of base anymore. That was also the case with the previous web server, which was an old version of Apache with a lot of patches.You can still install nginx from ports though and Apache is in there somewhere as well.
As far as documentation is concerned, please refer to the OpenBSD FAQ:

What will you miss? Probably not much, except for the eye candy. OpenBSD is a really good and complete OS, and its quality is excellent.
No, most people want to run a simple PHP website (Wordpress, Drupal, etc). But since almost every modern CMS and framework require at least a simple form of URL rewriting (rewrite every request for a non-existig file to
Err... If you are running PHP on OpenBSD, you have COMPLETELY missed the point of OpenBSD in the first place.
Seriously, though. PHP?
Oh boy, that was such a flame-bait post.
Just cool down, man, the ISS is still up there and still useful -- this (shooting space junk) is just a good example of it.
Besides, if the US Governement had invested in space research and (cheap, reliable) space access, you guys would not be at the tender mercies of the naughty naughty Russian bear. So you only have yourselves to blame here...
Most people are against that kind of intrusion, especially if they are correctly informed about it. A lot of major newspapers in France have suddenly woken up and taken notice, as they are very much concerned they won't be able to protect their sources in the future.
Ditto for lawyers and many other institutions.
So there is hope after all...
These companies already have a sgnificant presence (data centers) in other european countries.
There are countries, in Europe, that protect their citizen's privacy a lot better than France. Germany comes to mind, for instance.
Plus, apart from the existing infrastructure, nothing is going to prevent these companies from moving -- a data center is a data center, anywhere in the world.
