  Just hope word gets around that doctors who cooperate with the CBP will get screwed over by them.

  We want to expand our surveillance powers. We need to justify that power by showing how effective we've been.

  What actual support do they say he provided? Less than $1000, but what specifically?

  Reminds me of when the highest forms of encryption in Netscape couldn't be exported, as if terrorists,criminals and nefarious enemy countries would have paid attention to the geographical download restrictions.

  on Telegraph Publishes The Dumbest Article On Encryption You'll Ever Read... Written By David Cameron's Former Speechwriter
  Why would forcing law abiding citizens to use flawed encryption stop terrorists from using secure encryption, anyway?

  Who cares about her position on encryption? We should, since she's running for president.

  It's not like the terrorists and criminals couldn't continue to use the encryption without backdoors anyway.

  on Argentina Plans To Increase Copyright In Photos From 20 Years To Life Plus 70 Years, Devastating Wikipedia
  Does this apply to things that are already in the public domain? Most of the 20th century should already have passed in to the public domain.
  
  Extending copyright on existing works is one thing, restoring copyright to works whose copyright has expired is quite a bigger beast.

  on NY Times Falsely Claims ISIS Is Using Encryption & Couriers Because Snowden
  They think terrorists are too stupid to scout out the subways to see if the cops have put up a checkpoint before taking in anything sensitive.
  Of COURSE they think they're too stupid to use encryption.

  Once again start with the assumption that terrorists are stupid

  on NY Times Falsely Claims ISIS Is Using Encryption & Couriers Because Snowden
  They have to assume that terrorists are stupid and it would never occur to them to protect their communications if Snowden leaked the fact that the government was listening on the line...

  Obviously they were skyping with their bookies.

  on Way To Go Florida: Governor Signs Law That Accidentally Bans All Computers & Smartphones
  Ah, good. It "doesn't affect you". A perfectly good reason to ban something. Why should you care that not everyone has access to a computer with fast internet at home? You have one, so anyone who doesn't is just out of luck. As long as the law has fixed a non-existent problem with dangerously vague language, all's good in the world.

  So if internet slot machines weren't illegal before, why did the charity get shut down?
  
  If it was illegal before, why the need for this law?
