If they understood what they were doing they wouldn't be collecting a public sector paycheck while working for multinationals, they would be working for them directly for 3 times the money.
Exactly. Which is why if the TSA had some mystic training technique that could apply 'tell theory' to total strangers, those people almost universally qualify to cash in the Main Event.
They also would have very few personal problems, you know, because you can't lie to them. All in all, the TSA would be creating supermen!
This is a terrible misnomer, because while the administration and diplomatic corps might set high level policy for what information they would like to have, its the NSA's internal organization that has (clearly) been making tactical decisions on what data to grab and what to leave alone.
This is an excellent attempt to make the conversation about whether or not the NSA *should* be spying on people, rather than the more nuanced, and more important discussion around *how* the NSA should be spying on people. And *who* those people should be.
As long as he can keep the conversation centered around "should the NSA be spying" he is going to win, because that's his charter. We need journalists like you guys to keep the discussion focused on what's important.
If I had to guess it was in a project pipeline for a subcontractor to implement. Generally 'lack of bandwidth' in official gov-speak means 'we never got around to it because other more important stuff kept coming up, but we will soon, we promise!'
The point being made however, is that the administrator is left in a position of the cheating husband, deny 'til you die because admission and getting caught carry the same penalties. Until we start rewarding folks, as a society, for coming clean they will continue to lie lie lie.
The NSA needs to get smarter propagandists. If you remember, i noted they admitted to attacking encrypted sessions trying to respond to something as well.
They clearly need consultants to manage their image since, likely everything else they do apparently, they are incapable of doing it internally.
Re: Re: Re: This is supporting evidence that root CA is pwned
If only this was true. You don't know enough about SSL to be commenting. Yes, they do not store the private keys in their databases, what they do is sign Google's CA with theirs, and make the Google Internet Authority (Google's CA) an issuing server in their certification path. So all they have to do is sign the NSA's Google Internet Authority issuing server and voila! MITM attacks...
How can you put a guy like this in jail? Every prosecutor, every judge he faced would be tarred and painted using their own communications to the point of a mistrial.
Because suddenly WikiLeaks is what is going to start them respecting the constitution? I'll hope for that when the last official calling Glenn Greenwald a criminal is out of office.
Re: This is supporting evidence that root CA is pwned
I have been making this point for 2 months now. If they can demand user info and content from Google, they can just as easily do that from Verisign and Godaddy etc. Only their customers are Google and Microsoft and their user info is a private key....
As a Canadian, I will be pressuring my Member of Parliament to drop relations with the US as far as is practical and improve our relations with BRIC. Honestly, some American's are up in arms over the destruction and surveillance your government has exported over the last 60 years, but we put the blame firmly at your feet too.
The American people have consistently refused to pull back their government, and as such are complicit in these activities. The next decade had better show significant change in your society or your children will find themselves excluded and ostracized from the growing global community that, as of now, you are not welcome in.
Whatever, let trolls think what they want, as long as we dont have standard's banditry (like Motorola was attempting) we're cool.
Can you imagine if you could hold hostage royalties on these kind of standards? Chaos would ensue, with MS, Google and Apple each buying a carrier and integrating vertically with no glimmer of compatibility between them.
Because there is no possible contingency. The plan is to do whatever they want for as long as they want and trust in their powerful friends to keep them out of jail when it eventually unravels.
We see this time and time again when small people run giant organizations, they take and take and leave the organization they were meant to serve in rubble. Enron, AIG, Lehman Brothers, a ton of government departments etc.
Actually, Motorola only ever offered a flat zero out deal, tied to their non FRAND patents. They never once offered an FRAND offer on just the SEP patents, and this is the problem.
The long and short of it is that they wanted to leverage their GSM patents against Microsoft to get the operating system patents Microsoft owns (non standard essential) but it backfired on them, rightfully so.
By this logic, they should be liable for drawing attention to the interview which draws attention to the site, therefore indirectly encouraging the reader's of their complaint to infringe copyrights.
Although the entire principle of it has been shattered because there is no real way to secure the common time source required by the endpoints (unless we all start putting gravity-calibrated atomic clocks in all our PCs).
