Really? How do you figure $100k paying jobs? You're assuming that every company that uproots and moves to NY, or which launches there, is going to be paying their lobby receptionist, clerical help, etc., six figures? What if they manufacture something. Is every assembly line worker going to be making six figures?

Stuxnet wasn't all about "getting anything out," either.

"Mr. President, we cannot allow an air gap gap!"

What were the laws/regulations for their offices at the time they used them?

Last I checked, the regs regarding emails for the state department went in to effect in 2005 and clarified in 2009 iirc.

"the Spanish government passed a law that set extreme fines for protesters convening outside of government buildings. In response to the controversial Citizen Safety Law"

If anyone wonders why the Founding Fathers wrote in absolutist terms in the First Amendment, this is why.

They knew charismatic demagoguery and outright sophistry were easy tools to use to override rights.

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

"I don't care about Bill Clinton's consensual sex life. I'm not talking about Monica."

But there are valid reasons to discuss this topic in particular. If the guy who has the "football" which can blow up the world engages in actions which could result in his blackmail is this REALLY the guy we want holding the trigger? The "football" isn't the only blackmail-able power the President of the United States has.

Astounding this is modded troll, but the GP is modded insightful, when the exact opposite is the case. People commit crimes, not corporations. Throw people in jail. And dragging corporations into a discussion of basic civil rigts shows trollish (and boorish) behavior.

Really.

Compared to what? Around here, it would hide any posts that said anything bad about Linux.

For that matter, much humor and mockery is funny but would also count as trolling, like teasing nerdage about female issue.

Not only that, but nerds are doubly out of their comfort zone because it's a chick.

Or not, if you use technology that isn't 50 years old. What's your agenda, that you're objecting based on completely out-dated information? You can't be ignorant of current options, so that means you're hoping that other people are when you spout deliberate misinformation like that. Really - who are you hoping to fool? What's your purpose?

See above.

Wow, you've really got some hang-ups, don't you?

This, from someone who appears to be reliving a "No Nukes" rally from the 1970's? Did you get some bad mushrooms or something at one of those events, and haven't been able to shake it off since?

Again, this from someone who is clearly stuck (or wants to be) in a decades old complaint, and who's using a cartoon villain fantasy version of "conservatives" as his main take on those who think contemporary nuclear technology, including reprocessing and new fail-to-safe designs, is a useful tool? The person with the fixation on the past and delusions about the "now" and the future, here, is you. Hyping those delusions here is fairly harmless, since people here understand that what you're complaining about is just nonsense. But please don't do things like vote, OK? The future thanks you.

"Will be abused", it's a joke, a sacrasm, sigh.

We have no historical reason WHATSOEVER to believe an all-encompassing ability to observe everything we do won't be abused by those in power to maintain their power.

What's the matter with you people?!?!?

So what you're saying is that you couldn't bother yourself to read the summary or the article, right?
