- burgerbrain 15y ago"May you come to the attention of those in authority."
- mrschwabe 15y agoMeanwhile, he passes NDAA making most valley hackers subject to indefinite imprisonment under his administrations vague definition of terrorist. Oh, but we're so excited for you!
- tzs 15y agoNDAA does no such thing. A pretty good explanation of what it actually does is available from these articles: http://www.lawfareblog.com/2011/12/ndaa-faq-a-guide-for-the-perplexed/ http://www.lawfareblog.com/2011/12/ndaa-faq-a-guide-for-the-... http://www.lawfareblog.com/2011/12/the-ndaa-the-good-the-bad-and-the-laws-of-war-part-i/ http://www.lawfareblog.com/2011/12/the-ndaa-the-good-the-bad... http://www.lawfareblog.com/2011/12/the-ndaa-the-good-the-bad-and-the-laws-of-war-part-ii/ http://www.lawfareblog.com/2011/12/the-ndaa-the-good-the-bad...
- mrschwabe 15y agoOh, my bad - that's "indefinite imprisonment without trial" thanks for clarifying.
- tzs 15y agoHow did you conclude that most valley hackers are not citizens?
- burgerbrain 15y agos/most/many/ Oh, I feel so much better now.
- bmj 15y agoAnd this is news why? Did Obama not have a field office in SF in 2008? I would find that hard to believe.
- ldayley 15y agoLeaving out commentary for or against the Obama administration, this says something about the growing influence of the valley on the nation as more of the media US citizens consume flows through and is amplified and/or filtered by digital products made by popular and powerful SV companies.
