With SSL they will not be able to tell on the fly whether the traffic is an email between two parties they are interested in or a cat video unless they are privy to the certs; increasing anonimity while not security does make it a little more expensive to crack.
It was far more than a "trick on the data" the entire batch of FOIA emails known as climategate shown systemic manipulation of the peer review system, data manipulation and croneyism.
I bet he'd be playing on a connection with ultra-low latency and killer bandwidth too.
I think the NSA mindset is if the data is collected and stored, but not looked at by human eyes is neither a search, a wiretap or even a breach of privacy. For furthermore when you place a telephone call, there is a connection made with a bandwidth of 64 Kbd (base 10 64K) of which 56Kbd are used for the bearer channel or B channel, which carriers the voice or private part and 8Kbd data channel, or D channel which carriers the switching information, the public part. The D channel is public because the data is necessary to route the phone call. Thus to the NSA if they intercept a phone conversation, they can store, but not listen to the B channel, analyse the D channel all they want. If the NSA determins that the communications is between non-US citizens to a confidence level greater than 50% they can listen to the B channel if they choose to, if the confidence is less than 50% then they have to get a warrant.
TFA said this is just an accelleration of an ongoing project, Snowden may have just been ahead of the curve.
It couldn't be that St. Snowden saw the writing on the wall and was acting more as a disgruntled employee about to be canned, than as the patron saint of government transperency?
Linux is pretty much obvious to start menus, That's Gnome that's doing it right, KDE does as well. What does break in KDE and probably Gnome is if you modify a programs position in the hierarchy, it gives the package manager fits on updates. I upgraded my windows box from windows 3.1 to windows ninety five and all went well, when I eventually got a clean install if ninety five, I was pissed that file manager wasn't there!
Because that worked so well against the IRS?
I doubt that will happen, because Snowden is still alive, I suspect that he blow-up his life by hacking into a NSA honey-pot! The spooks generally have several layers of miss-direction and miss-information going at anytime
I'm also surprised at the number of stories that appear on
In the United States, in 2009, Health Care Expenditures per Capita was $6,815, Medicaid Payments per Enrollee, FY2010 in the United States Aged $12,995, Disabled $16,292, Adult $3,039, Children $2,378, Total $5,592. so I don't see how the math will work out, 48% of Americans pay little or no federal taxes. Who is supposed to come up with this $1.75 trillion dollars to cover universal Medicaid, or even the 384,022,000,000 to bring Medicaid up to our expected level of care?
Well the warming has been stalled for about 17 years at arround 0.3, last July was only 0.17 warmer. The current solar cycle 24 has been pretty anemic, and now we find out the max is half over, so things should start cooling off for the next eleven or so years! My magic eight ball says the iguanas are going to be falling out of the trees in Florida pretty soon.
It means the solar sharknadeo caused a coronal monopole ejaculation inducing a carrington event class money shot here on Earth! It maybe a good idea to retreat to your under-volcano secret lair for the next 3-4 months if your not into bubuki.
Well if anybody know what kind of assholes those other guys are, I suppose it would be the NSA because the seem to have the shit on everybody; I've heard they've been survailing Obama since before he was a Senator.
Or they just considered that if retroactive phone taps start appearing in drug trials, someone is eventually going to notice and start asking where this evidence is coming from.
"No Knock" warrants to "Preserve Evidence" has taken us quite a ways down that slippery slope already. Add to that how DNA databases are being worked, where a request for a certain profile is broadcast and the holder of a matching profile make themselves known so a search warrant can be sent; now it's easy to envision law enforcement send a near endless stream of requests for retro-active wire taps, and being able to get them. Up to now the NSA could always say whether or not we have than opperational capacity is classified, but Snowden blew that completely out of the water.
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death. -- James F. Byrnes
