Corporations do capitalise on Libre code.

You obviously took the red pill, come back when your ready.

Free and Open source software are about working together to write software, its unquestionably good.

There are tens of billions of dollars worth of Libre code out there, with thousands of unpunished violators, and only 2 or 3 people in the world defending it.

And this "community" persistently rallies against working tegether Legally with CLA, i just dont understand, is it purely a trust thing ?

(And if you want to help defend Free Software, consider donating to the Software Freedom Conservency)

A lot of mobiles come with Radio receivers, so in theory the NSA could use the backdoors they have in phones that are known to be nearby (from GPS) to syncronise receiving with the burst transmission.

Use the phones bandwidth to send the data home.

You better be careful that tinfoil isnt shaped like an antenna.

To fix that you just need to make sure the tinfoil is eathed properly, but then you also need to make sure they arent doign anything tricky wit hthe earth leakage current.

Also, the NSA might be monitoring EM radiation from your external power supply.

I suggest you make tinfoil glasses and earplugs, ignorance is bliss.

A corporation uses free software and is committed to not contribute anything back (freeloading), yet one of their workers does so in their own time (contirbuting).

In that case the company has unknowingly contributed to free software in the way of promotional work, but that has to be weighed against the damage they do to free software by trying to prevent their workers contributing in the first place.

Yea, thats a fair point. "freeloaders" do have a self interest to provide constructive criticism to their suppliers irrespective of the conditions under which where provided the goods.

Users are freeloaders if they are ideologically opposed to contributing or participating in the community.

If people dont contribute because they dont know how, but would like to, then that fine, maybe one day they will be able to. Nothing to lose, everythign to gain by havign them around.

If people (or more likely corporations) are ideologically opposed to contributing back to the communtiy because they dont want to mix "their valuable IP" with the communities IP then are a dead weight to us. We would be much better off pushing them to use inferior proprietary software so their competitors who arent so short sighted can win.

Someone should invent metawords to defelect metawords.

Socially retarded attitudes such as this are why normal people throw rocks at you.

This story proves the NSA is really trying to protect us all the time, some people say they are spies, i call them teh protectors of liberty.

In order to let them help us, we should all download and install their new "anti-malware" software. If your are an important person they might even give you access to their custom assistance package where they remotely interact wit hyour system, for your protection !

TLDR: You need a secure channel to create a secure channel, smae with trust.

If you dont have trust you dont have anything.

The US government have demostrated their belief that in order to protect their people, they cant allow themselves to trust their own people.

All over the world people say they dont trust their government, have done so for a long time, and will contrinue to do so. But when a government actually demonstrates it, its hard to come back from that.

What do you see as the worst things Labor did/didnt do, anything in particular you want to get off your chest ?

Your really going to go there... in 100 days the Libs have broken more election promises than labor did in 6 years.

It was Labors internal problems that bought them undone.

You can also test to see how compressible it is, compression algorthithms recognising and removing patterns, so "good random" data should not be very compressible.
