No, you just keep beating the same damn drum, which is fine, but you keep addressing people like they don't fucking already know, and only you, the enlightened one, can save everyone else. You remind me of the airhead "wake up, America" advertising character.
It's nice to identify with the protagonist of your video games, innit? But quit trying to tell everyone what "team" they were or are on. Any small kernels of truth which you have, which again, most here realized long ago, maybe even before coming here, are overshadowed by the bulk of your transactions here, which is the unnecessary utter trash which detracts from conversation and any point you may actually have. Or maybe your whole game is really centered on being a jackass and any good points are merely accidental.
The proper balance in situations like this, between deterring constitutional violations and freeing high officials to make the lawful decisions necessary to protect the Nation in times of great peril, is one for the Congress to undertake, not the Judiciary.
Oh yay, another false dilemma, like security versus privacy.
Ya knnnoooow, if they are making lawful decisions, deterring constitutional violations (or redressing them) won't be any interference.
Interconnection is not the problem, except when the (consumer) ISPs make it a problem. Last mile - the bit always in the ISP's domain, is also a problem, and one entirely of the ISP's making.
Unless they are a dial up or DSL ISP and don't own the lines. Those technologies are inherently limited anyway, but their continued existence is enlightening with respect to the continued existence of No Last Mile problems in broadband. (Which ISPs have been subsidized for, collect "taxers" on, have included in regional contracts, but never deliver, like the telcos before them. Many US dollars worth. To quote Carl Sagan, "Billions and billions".)
If you have the resources to drag out litigation for ten years (Ten years! Ten years man! Ten y... Ten years!), why are you bothering over a copyright issue, particularly one as flimsy in every dimension as this?
It may well be, but only using the same pathetic reasoning as yours.
The play is not derived whatsoever from the manuscript, and possibly (possibly) 145 words may possibly be "kinda close to something in the manuscript".
How the hell do you pick which side of a copyright fight you are on? Anyone who is not an actual creator of something should benefit if the merest hint that maybe someone holding (not a creator at all) a copyright on something else entirely might be upset?
It is discussing the 2008 transcript from a particular set of FOIA requests. Not a history of the NSA. I think they generally do a huge amount of recap in articles, and i don't mind not having it every single time.
Also, Drake's 2002 complaints were about a project that was eventually killed as a massive failure. His continuing complaints about specific practices and general culture came to a head in public around 2011.
The NSA always knows it has a problem, because it is the problem. They see it as their job, and not a problem at all.
People were also already arguing their phone and internet communications were accessed with the help of phone companies. Earlier still were now supposedly defunct programs, long before the excuse was terrorist attacks. Where should they start every article discussing something? It would be like the opening of 2001.
That's great and i agree with a lot of your points, however, it is irrelevant and we are not discussing the woes of an individual targeted with this order.
The cloud, or companies, being crap, does not excuse governments and their courts from being crap.
Everything which may be abused (which is everything), will be abused. See? I told you so. Therefore you are all idiots. All your base nao morally belong to me, apparently.
Your implication is a non-sequitur. "as an AC" is merely a descriptive parenthetical expression reflecting who he is, not that which is claimed as evidence for whomever being unhinged from reality; the post content.
The joke is ok but the logic isn't broken properly. ;)
