Comment It's like searching everywhere you ever lived (Score 1) 150

A warrant like this is the equivalent to searching all the houses and apartments and cars and storage lockers you've ever had or anyone in your family or that ever met you ever had.

We fought a Revolution over this.

But Americans today are not made of the metal that would stand up against such things.

Sadly.

Repeat after me: Baaaaaaah!

Comment Canada can not legally give away TPP privacy (Score 1) 55

The TPP can not sell Canadian Citizens Constitutional Right to privacy.

It's not a bill.

It's in the Constitution.

In writing.

No government can sell that right to another country.

PERIOD.

(yes, I did take Canadian Law in grade 10, it was the best thing I ever did, other than Canadian Business Law later on, and, yes, my brother passed the BC bar and got his LLD from UBC)

If by debate you mean it's a debate that ended a couple of decades ago and is only kept as a "debate" by crazies funded by the fossil fuel industry ...

Then, yes, it's a debate.

Look, it's here.

Adapt or Die. ... no, I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you ... no, I'm not going to listen to you yammer about "clean coal" (which does not exist)

Adapt.

Or die.

Those are your choices.

Actually, that's Congress. The Legislative branch would have to produce appropriate legislation. Once legislation exists, the Executive Branch may issue an Executive Order to execute the legislation.

I think you're thinking of another country.

In America, Congress does nothing except whine and posture.

originally, in the early 80s, 100 percent of all cross-exchange calls were listened to, without warrants. Basically, anything that went beyond a service area.

However, the tech at the time meant that most calls were not recorded, beyond the first few seconds, unless you used a trigger word or were on a list to be recorded.

This did mean no local exchange calls at the time.

Now the five data centers record a lot more than we admit.

And, yes, I said five.
