They patched it rapidly only to have a very similar vulnerability affecting the very same components drop like a day later.

Arguably the patching effort lacked real analysis, that should have been triggered, and got pushed out with the first obvious fix applied. On the other hand leaving users with only the option to implement a workaround that disables ipsec while a full fix is investigated, is also a problem...

I am not criticizing anyone here, disclosure vs time to patch, and regression avoidance in complex software systems is a difficult problem. While it speaks to things like code quality and security priority, I don't think when it comes to large software projects you can really charaterize either of those things with a methodolgy that amounts SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cve WHERE project = ....

" I don't know if you are really that ignorant or what your malfunction is." This is where the conversation ends because when you have to make your point by being personally insulting, im done and owe you nothing.

I have no other words to characterize idiocy like "A 5000 year old country doesnt forget its roots or what a brutal dictatorship they were ruled over by the Shah for 26 years" so yea if the shoe fits wear it. I provided objective reasons to support my characterizations of your remarks. You on the other hand have nothing substantive to say and can't support your positions. You are just wasting everyone's time.

Unfortunately they are right on the Constitution here and it is a loophole that the founders didn't consider.

Unfortunately? What part of unreasonable search and seizure is hard to understand? You know how the Founding Fathers fixed what is accurately called an oversight? They’re called Amendments.

And we have plenty that should be preventing this abuse. Even written while the Founding Fathers were still around to declare “oh crap, we thou fucked up.”

If you need to use the term “loophole” to describe your job, then the only “job” you’re doing is marketing the bullshit required to call that anything but criminal.

The NY Times and youre calling me ignorant...quite hilarious but dont get your narrative in the way of a good story.

Your statements were factually incorrect. What is your issue with the NYT article? Are there any facts in it that you dispute? If so which ones? Do you dispute Mossadegh held a sham referendum that got 99.96% of the vote to give himself powers he was not constitutionally entitled?

There is no definition of coup that includes someone with the constitutional right to do something legally doing that thing. This would be like saying had Nixon not resigned and was impeached and the removal vote succeeded he was ousted in a "coup". That isn't a thing and makes no sense. The king always had the power to remove Mossadegh and he exercised it on Aug 15th 1953. This is an indisputable fact. A coup is when a member of the state exceeds their authority to gain power they are not legally entitled. Nothing like that happened.

As for the CIAs involvement it is way overblown. There was real popular support for the king and this at is how he won the legitimacy contest with Mossadegh who was convicted and jailed for three years for his illegal coup attempt. The CIA absolutely had plans and tried to help the king but their role was minimal. The real power came from a coalition of Iranian supporters who won the day.

Why yes he did. Iranians were perfectly peaceful to the rest of the world despite arguing a lot at home.

Your ignorance is beyond words. The Iranian regimes raison d'etre is literally "exporting the revolution". It has wreaked havoc thought the region for decades doing exactly that. The fact Iran is the worlds leading state sponsor of terror is not merely an empty slogan.

The regime has the blood of the entire region on its hands in addition to oppressing and massacring its own people while severely lacking any internal legitimacy. I hope they get wiped out.

Your gasoline is now more expensive because Iranians turned against you.

The Iranians are Trumps and BiBis biggest fans.

FBI Wants to Buy Nationwide Access to License Plate Readers

Translation: A Federal agency purposely fucking bound by Constitutional limits within the Bill of Rights, is now so openly corrupt that they are brazenly requesting to spend taxpayer money in order to buy that which they are not allowed to legally capture.

You want new toys to do your job? Start remembering the fucking law first, children.
