Look Mommy two trolls are fighting each other. I wonder which Anonymous Coward will win?!
So you are saying that Bradley Manning's leaks did harm the US*? Delayed recognition is better than none I suppose.
*Not that there was any real question about that. High cost, no useful outcome.
How could you possibly come to that conclusion? There's no way @dbll was saying that. I don't want to speak for him/her, but they said the oil company already had that opinion (that the US couldn't keep its intel secure).
By oil company, they surely meant "Shell", the US based juggernaut. The documents revealed that the company had inserted staff and fully infiltrated the Nigerian government, hence they told the US they could ensure that the Nigeria's 2009 Petroleum Industry Bill would favorably treat the US/Shell.
Agreed. I'm actually let down that this was "reported" on Slashdot in this manner. The entire thing is suspect, and it's been handled in typical fashion by news organizations across the country (countries) i.e., they just repeat what has been told to them by an anonymous government source, providing nothing remotely resembling evidence, in a manner that just happens to support the establishment's needs.
We can't even get voting machines that are secure and verifiable. We contract companies with no accountability to make these, and they don't even listen to third party researchers, or calls for open reviews. Why on earth would we think we could secure it on a public network, with umpteen more attack vectors?
Won't somebody please Think of the CHILDREN!?!?
*COUGH* Bullshit. They've been using these TI calcs for over 20-25 years.... WAY, WAY before people could use a device to "Google" solutions. The fact that they have contracts and books, and lord knows what else is what keeps their devices in play and permitted for testing. If nothing else, at least the cost was driven down because of the fact that their parts are dirt cheap compared to my day (early 90's) when you couldn't get a TI for under a few hundred bucks. I don't know if the new color models with crazy interfaces are allowed in schools now, but please know that the internet had no bearing on the original decision to allow these calcs to be used in testing.
Watch Shane Carruth's movie, "Primer" to see how that idea worked out (the good and bad).
