Buit much more importantly considering just how much Clapper and others have been prattling on for years about just how "crucial" and "important" the bulk phone records collection is in protecting the American public, ...
But, it is. Anything that spurs the Edward Snowdens of the world into blowing the whistle on liars like Clapper is "crucial" and "important", to all of us. If it takes pratfalls and faceplants by the likes of Clapper for the public to clue in, then lets have lots more pratfalls and faceplants! Keep 'em coming!
Most of the people on TD aren't the ones ripping off artists. That's the studios with their % of net Hollywood accounting schemes. I see a lot of people profess to buying new stuff, but they pay directly to the artist, not to a label. The labels have peed us both off too much to suffer them any longer. They should die screaming in a fire.
This discussion would disappear if we forced those who write the laws governing this to first understand the tcp/ip networking stack underlying all of that. The law is way out of touch from reality on the ground.
... Socialists and Capitalists are two sides of the same coin.
Capitalism is much more an economic, not political or philosophical theory. We live within a mixed economy; lots of gov't regulatory influence leasing the people's assets to moneyed interests, and legislators peddling influence. That is socialism ("they" take care of it "for us"), or crony-capitalism. The connected moochers clean up.
This calls for a political solution, not economic.
And, it'll be nice to have that loss on the books for the next time a wannabe tyranny wants to try this !@#$ in the future. They won't need to waste their time on this like we are.
Of course he was. I'm saying they let bombers through having been outright warned in clear text. An FBI mfg'd plot in Texas is small stuff in comparison.
My brain often appears to veer off into tangents. I'll admit this can be one.
I wonder if we can add Stingrays as a vector. They'd not then even need to go through Google. If a Stingray essentially owns every device it connects to, this should be trivial.

That's because the FBI finally got a clue in the '90s. James Comey is the opposite of what they had then.
