> Ya, my family was positivily saved by crack and MDMA. What drugs saved your family?

Dude, even think-of-the-children central - Oprah is has been talking about the theraputic uses of MDMA.

> what is next? Will you need to login with google+ to download?

That is what I expect. I think if Google+ had Facebook's marketshare they would already be doing that sort of thing across most of google''s services.

> It's just a ploy for more money. They could take money from other useless parts

Your logic is the same as any conspiracy theorist - it can't be disproved. You'll always be able to pull up some government program that you personally don't think is worthwhile as "proof" that teh government is just holding people hostage for funding.

While I am sure that within the tens of thousands of different budgets internal to the us federal government there is funny business going on, it is specious to claim that is what is going on every time something serious breaks. The government is just not that well organized.

In fact, of the 23 companies that received funding under the same program as Solyndra did, at least 19 of them are still in business - that's an 83% success rate. When you factor in the fact that these were all loans that the free-market was too risk averse to take on itself, that number is pretty fantastic. Most venture capital funds are lucky to have a 10% success rate.

Lol, I scanned it for "Denmark" and figured that was good enough. Guess I don't have that autistic attention to detail.

SAP aren't the first to do this.

Thorkil Sonne at Specialisterne in Denmark has built a consultancy of autistics.

This is the guy who thought it was clever to condemn free software as the "open sores movement." He also said, "When Windows 2000 gets here, goodbye linux." When he got called out on his doucebaggery he pulled out that old classic of the playground bully, "Just Kidding!" and then whined about all the "slashdot" persecution.

He also promised to eat his words if the internet didn't collapse during the 1990s. Wussed out by having them written in frosting on a cake.

I wouldn't be surprised if ethernet's openness had nothing to do with him, probably even fought against it at PARC.

> Sounds like you just want the benefits of paying by the hour without any of the negatives.

Bingo. He didn't explicitly say he was paying by the hour, but reading between the lines it sure sounded like it.

Use the firefox add-on "Redirect Remover" to strip off those referral links and get the original URL. Works with more than just google, not only does it improve your privacy it makes pages load faster since you skip hitting the referral server and just go straight to the destination site.

You are assuming these people were using gmail for clandestine communications. I'm pretty sure even the most basic opsec training would have covered the "don't use email for secret messages" ruie.

What this looks like is a ruse - agents set up email accounts that are never used for spying purposes but are sufficient to attract exactly the kind of counter-espionage actions of getting the US to spy on the accounts. Then grab the list of accounts the US is spying on because that list is in the hands of google who don't have formal handling procedures for classified information and so are an easy target versus some system behind an air-gap firewall. Tada, now you know which spies have had their covers blown. It doesn't tell you which spies are still safe, but it does give positive confirmation of who has been exposed.

I'm the OP and I know what I'm talking about.

ALSO: Deserts = what you deserve.

> The phrase isn't "just deserts". It's "just desserts". Look it up.

Sure, here it is: just deserts
