If my boss could find somebody able and willing to do my job for a tenth of my pay, I could hardly blame him for replacing me.
It means I'm expecting too much, compared to what other in the market are willing to settle for.
Now, I come with years of experience at my job, and charming disposition. Plus that new guy doesn't shower. If I want my job back, I'm going to have to lower my demands. I don't necessarily have to go as low as Stinky, but if I offer to take a 30% pay cut, my boss might just be willing to get ME instead of the other guy.
So, I don't really see a problem here aside from complaining about competition.
And how would that sync up with an intelligent system to help a young student track progress in a tricky subject? Or let them report back results after trying some safe kitchen table experiments?
You need _something_ trackable to create a persistent account/identity, and the bar for storing any such information for children is just Too Damn High (TM).
Your suggestion that his actions were treasonous is ludicrous, laughable on its face. This information was previously published and publicized. There was no leak or release by this guy. To suggest otherwise shows you are in denial of the reality of our times.
1. Yes, broadcast DOES declassify the information. It is now public information. Any member of the public without any clearance at all can freely access it. Therefore, it is public info. Therefore, it is not classified any longer. Just because a file or folder somewhere has a red stamp that says "CLASSIFIED" does not make it true.
2. He did not reveal/publish the info (which I agree would be a punishable offense), he merely linked to what was published elsewhere.
If a classified document was leaked and printed in the NY Times, would it be a similar offense to hand somebody a copy of the paper that day? Ridiculous to suggest.

Re: Re: Re: Re: But the Protect IP guys will get their way
How do you through your day without tripping over things with your eyes so clearly focus at the tip of your nose?
You don't understand how a fragmented system is inherently less secure for you, even if you don't think you'll be part of "that group." You really need to wake up and widen your field of view.
One of the strongest points against Protect IP is that is will cause these new problem, yet do absolutely nothing to deal with the problem it is aimed at.
Maybe I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, but how will this browser work for encrypted/secure pages?
I see two possibilties -- one that's boring, and one that's scary:
1) Silk split browser enhancements do not function for HTTPS pages to preserve the security of the connection. This means theincreasingly large portion of web services only useful with a login will see minimal improvements. Or,
2) Amazon will be injecting themselves as a man in the middle, using the decrypted data to provide performance enhancements to encrypted pages just as well as unencrypted ones. This would mean Amazon could scrape my bank account balance in addition to prices I see while shopping. If its linked to my account, might they try to charge me more if they see a tidy bundle in my chequing account?
