in the past you would have to be seen/be active and then get the full "data privacy" issues.
The new trick is to rewind your "online life" after your seen/become active by ~ a few years.
A nice chilling effect on any protesting, politics.

1. Buy a new motherboard/ram/cpu/ssd.
2. Think about what we now know. Its the US centric operating systems, the plain text advertising and VoIP/chat, cloud end points that seem to be of interest.
Something about your mic, camera, keyboard level that seems very useful vs the telco/exchange.
The brands listed where not regional/mulitnational telcos, AV, Wintel hardware makers.
3. Find an OS and filesystem that is not Mac/Windows/Linux.
4. Do not install/use any product offered by the brands listed in any way.
Use search sites that offer a gap between your ip and the big search engines with https.
Getting your views out and making new friends around the world be hard work.
Get a your search term noted, your ip is tracked, its sneak and peek time :)

The brands exposed where not telco's or encryption/security/AV firms.
They where the data (plaintext) input and plaintext destination points ie your mic, cam, keyboard.... at OS level and the same for the person/people you are connected to.

Recall Room 641A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A.
If your working that floor with access to some rooms why would another door you see outside contractors enter interest you?
On average how much time would a person spend near one room/door?
Promoted and your not on that floor anymore, if not, its another door that will never be on your work schedule.

On what law could anyone be able to sue me for damage on his machine if he uses my (licensed or unlicensed) code?

And no, in the last 30 years I never id a wrong "rm -rf".

And no again, even if I did, I would not be directly liable for damage caused in case I had made that mistake.

You are full of bullshit, sorry.

Re "tested, hammered, and inspected for chinks." So where encryption systems offered by the GCHQ and NSA to friendly nations near the mid/end of the Cold War.
100% safe from any Soviet hacking, tampering along any length of telecommunications systems and independently verified by the nation buying into the system.
Why did the GCHQ and NSA give out low cost "unbreakable" encryption?
Years earlier they had found the recovery of the original pre- or non-encrypted message i.e. plaintext was not safe when physically near the new encryption system.
Who got to install the new systems? Front companies/contractors for planning.
So NATO was safe from Soviet efforts but every word encoded between a country and its distant embassies was back in the UK/USA as plaintext.
So as in the past your allowed to enjoy and study all the AES you want. Your average operating system sold out your plaintext years ago.

I see. No good deed should go unpunished, right?

Agree, when in Rome do as the Romans do.

As I spotted philosoraptor saying on G+ this morning, Snowden is being accused of Treason (aiding The Enemy) for sharing information with the American People. Does that mean the American People are The Enemy?

Speaking of "important details", the US and China are not at war.

Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

That's why you don't have to pay them - because they show up primarily for their own benefit and provide few, if any, benefits to the host organization.

Few benefits? Other than cutting their recruiting and HR costs by running potential employees through their doors without having to hire them first. Other than offloading most of their on-the-job training and apprenticeships onto the taxpayer and prospective employee via higher education in the first place.

Corporations. Are they not merciful?

Corporations exist solely by virtue of Nanny State interference in the operations of the Free Market.

Because for-profit ventures didn't exist before or independently of central governments looooong before Randians existed. Because Standard Oil wasn't an abuse monopoly during the Randian Golden Age of post Civil War to WWI. Because Monsanto and Lockheed Martin would fold up shop tomorrow if everyone went Galt and world governments disappeared.

Because you guys are freaking Loony Tunes.

Also, when was an internship ever about credits rather than getting your foot in the door?

Since business interests offloaded the costs of on-the-job training or master/apprentice programs onto the taxpayer via "higher education". And offloaded much of their recruiting and HR costs via internships that pay little to no money.
