not collecting everything, but we do need the tools to collect intelligence on foreign adversaries who wish to do harm to the nation and its allies.
Foreign adversaries.
Like the Germans, French, Spanish, British, Israel and other Americans?

This guy has effectively destroyed his own life, and the lives of those around him, to tell us, the plebs of the world, the truth that our Governments have been hiding from us.
And you're tearing a strip off him?
Damn you!
All they need to do is drop an 'A'.

Another service offering:
SpiderOak uses AES256 in CFB mode and HMAC-SHA256. SpiderOak uses a nested series of key scopes: a new key for each folder, version of a file, and the individual data blocks that versions of files are composed from. Having keys with such limited scope allows for selective sharing of chosen portions of your data while keeping the remainder private.
Most importantly, however, the keys are never stored plaintext on the SpiderOak server. They are encrypted with 256 bit AES, using a key created from your password by the key derivation/strengthening algorithm PBKDF2 (using sha256), with a minimum of 16384 rounds, and 32 bytes of random data ("salt"). This approach prevents brute force and pre-computation or database attacks against the key. This means that a user who knows her password can generate the outer level encryption key using PBKDF2 and the salt, then decipher the outer level keys, and be on the way to decrypting her data. Without knowledge of the password, however, the data is unreadable.
SpiderOak accounts also include a 3072 bit public/private RSA key pair. This is currently not used for anything, but is included with all accounts with the expectation that SpiderOak will add multi-user private collaborative and sharing features which would necessitate the use of the the public/private keys.
I will give you that. I'm hoping a new Doctor gives it a chance for a personality reboot. And writers reboot.
Same here - I loved Tom Baker, and in my head, I'm thinking a Tom Baker-ish, slightly darker Doctor. With a touch more gravitas than Matt Smith.
Could easily go on to become one of the best Dr Who's ever.
The best of Malcolm Tucker
Am I the only one who's gone from 'oooo, that's cool!' to 'I'm not sure I feel comfortable with that' with a lot of new technology from 'the big guys' recently?
Google own my life. And by extension, my Government, other Governments, security agencies, and many corporate interests own my life.
I've known this forever (and tried not to think about it too much), but with recent disclosures, it's really brought it all home.
All tech I look at now I'm finally asking "So... what data does that give you access to?". It's taking time to figure out a migration path for all my current solutions, but I'm slowly trying to find a route where I'm in control of my data. I know that this probably makes me an idiot, and those that were always privacy concious can laugh - but meh, it's better late than never to come to this realization that I can't trust any third party. Isn't it?
Threaten to make piracy more difficult in the USA, and watch as the biggest websites in the world make a big deal of it.
The Government of most western countries piss over our liberty, while the global super power spies on all of us and chases a whistle-blower all around the globe with the intent of destroying his life, and the best we can manage is a few angry geeks muttering online.
Seriously?
This, basically.
As someone with anxiety issues, online FORUMS are fantastic, as they allow for shared discussion. I'll be damned how the gaming community, not known for there most sympathetic nature as a whole, would help in these situations.
I'm reminded of that all-time great, http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19
I totally agree. Owned (and loved owning) two 360's, but I won't be touching the One with a barge pole. Microsoft seems to have taken the relative success of the 360 as a "Well, now we can do what the fuck we like".
Everyone hits social media, hard - their name won't be worth toffee in the tech world. Which is ironically who they are trying to sell to.
Make it clear you wouldn't do business with them - and wait until they relent.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
