Comment F them (Score 1) 397

I would tell them to go Fuck themselves and that I'm an American and I'm coming home they they can go fly. If they want that information they need to get a search warrant. I plead the 5th. I can sort of understand why these guys want to search your electronic equipment for possibly child porn or other illegal activities you might have done while out of the country. But access to my social media accounts? I'm sorry you have my answer, I plead the 5th and you can go fuck yourselves.....

Not only that they have burried rubber barriers under the pumps to make sure that no petro-chemicals leach into the soil and thus the water table. They also have fire extinguishers and they have spill contingency plans in case of a spill. What does some clown sloshing around what could be a porta bomb in the back of his pickup have?

Comment Another Tablet? (Score 1) 81

I have an iPad, a MS Surface and a Motorola Xoom tablet. I'm good for now with all the tablets. BTW the Motorola Xoom is pretty much already a Linux Tablet and the iPad is basically BSD at it's core. So why do I need an Ubuntu tablet in my life? If I need a new tablet I can get a current version of Samsung's tablet used on eBay for between 100 and 150 dollars and that would be like for the 32gb model.

Comment iPHONE 5C (Score 1) 135

I don't think the FBI ever really needed to get into the phone. They have all the metadata and they know he never used the phone for personal business. They are chasing a pig in a poke. I would love to get a FOI on what was on the phone for data. That being said I believe that the FBI always had at their disposal to get the data themselves. It's just an iPhone 5c so it does not even have the fingerprint deal yet. Also I think the FBI might have thought hey we might just throw Apple a bone and let them help us out so people don't think their protection is crap, which it probably is. Since Apple did not play nice the FBI is now saying, hey we got and guess what Apple security is crap. Poor Apple they are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. One thing I do know is they now need to go back to square one with their security...
