Which he wasn't.

So it's not true that "Had Mitt won the presidency, ... a lot of these guys bitching about Obama would be standing right in line behind Mitt,"? One counter-example does not a disproof make; even lot of counter-examples would only be sufficient if it meant that the people complaining about the surveillance who were and would be OK with it under a Republican president a minority. They may well be (I certainly hope they are!), but I've not seen anything yet to indicate that they are.

And, yes, people who complained about what Bush did and would have complained about it under Mitt but who defend it under Obama are, indeed, just as hypocritical.

Yes - "A1C" and "HBA1C" are both short for "Hemoglobin A1c".

And LexisNexis, the corporation that offers those services, also offers other services, including, for example, "Identity Management Solutions" that "perform multiple core system data checks against our extensive public records and proprietary databases to ensure the contact's name and address match is valid." So whatever he's referring to when he speaks of "LEXIS-NEXIS", it's either 1) a private-sector program to which US government officials, among others, have access or 2) a government program that involves access to some service or services from LexisNexis and is, cleverly, codenamed "LEXIS-NEXIS".

No, they're the last large vendor still selling a ones' complement machine, as, for example, their "C Compiler Programming Reference Manual Volume 1: C Language and Library" says:

6.1.1. Integer Type Conversions

...

UCS C represents an integer in 36-bit ones complement form (or 72-bit ones complement form, if the long long type attribute is specified).

I'd go more for "non-political" than "libertarian", based on his preface to "How Would A Patriot Act".

As for Greenwald's current political views, see his Frequently Told Lies" blog post, where he explicitly answers claims that he's a "right-wing libertarian" with some pretty good indications that he's not one (I suspect few "right-wing libertarians" would strongly advocate a "public option" for health insurance, for example).

"Conservative", or libertarian? "Conservative" is used in multiple different ways, few if any of which are equivalent to libertarian.

Yes, yes, and no. LEXIS, now apparently just called Lexis, and NEXIS, now apparently just called Nexis, are non-government online data search services, access to which, according to the Cryptome article, "all members of the Intelligence Community have", "all domestic law enforcement has", and "IRS, DOJ, Treasury, Local PD, Sheriffs Office all have".

There are other ways of accomplishing that goal....

Where "a few" means "18"; AS/400, as it was called then, switched to (an extended form of) PowerPC in 1995; "Power ISA" is the current name of the instruction set architecture formerly known as PowerPC.

Which OSes that were available in 1963 are still available (or have a direct descendant that's available), other than the Burroughs MCP?

And 3) the traditional UNIX workstation vendors stopped making UNIX workstations, so "engineering workstation" now means "high-end PC", and, of the UNIXes from the traditional UNIX workstation vendors, the only one that runs on PCs is Solaris.

No. As the person who 4.3BSD-ified the SunOS init in SunOS 4.0, I know that the 4.x init was 4.3BSD-based. (The only tricky bit was preserving binary compatibility for pre-4.x binaries that used ttyslot() and therefore had, in the binary, code that expected /etc/ttys to look like the V7 /etc/ttys; the SunOS 4.x init would look for /etc/ttytab, which had the same syntax as 4.3BSD's /etc/ttys, and parsed it as such, writing out a legacy-format /etc/ttys.)

Command-line GNU userland, maybe. libc userland, libc GNU userland, not so much.

No, it didn't. Solaris 1 was built atop SunOS 4.1.1 through 4.1.3u, which had a 4.3BSD-based kernel and a 4.3BSD-based init.

Then, given that, in the sentence before the sentence you're presumably disagreeing with, he said "...this article is confining itself to analysis of the "enterprise server market."", presumably he should have said "Apple does not market enterprise server hardware.", which is certainly true.
