I don't see how Google holds any culpability in this situation. Google isn't the source of the abrogations of our civil rights, Google is merely the avenue by which the surveillance apparatus gains a toehold on a vast amount of da

When an employer "blows the whistle" on a former employee whose employment was recently terminated, the onus lies with the government to do their due diligence before encroaching upon the sanctity of the former employees home. Thu

Well, the author was at work? Her husband was at home? Ergo, the author didn't have all of the information available when the article was written. Shall I post a retraction with an equally misinformed slant, or can we agree that the wh

I don't see any disconnect. Corporate partnerships with government used to have a negative connotation. Much the same as the way that governmental employment of mercenaries was once frowned upon, as well as conflicts of interest, which

When I saw the ads in my state for Booz-Allen-Hamilton jobs requiring clearance a few months ago I knew that it was spook work, but thought nothing of it at the time... (I refuse to relocate, it's telecommute or I go freelance) I wonde

Well, neither one of those politicians campaigned on promises of dismantling the NeoCon policies initiated by the Bush/Cheney gang, so who's playing partisan politics here?

This is a good start. By removing the profit motive from cannabis production it helps to reduce cartel receipts, helps to reduce smuggling, and separates cannabis from other, truly harmful, drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamines, and heroi

I thought that clang was open source? I don't pay a single penny to use clang & llvm. I've been using clang in FreeBSD for a few months now and it seems to build faster than gcc.

Welcome to 1984, check your civil liberties at the door. Never mind if we're almost 30 years too late, and oh, by the way, how's that hope & change going for you?

I've got a friend whose last name is Null, and he used to have all kinds of issues with the phone company... Obviously if your lookup app is having a problem with using "Null" as a string then you have data type issues. It&#x

So the NSA hires someone who's supposed to be not smart enough yet was able to steal passwords as well as laptops from them... I'd say that their security measures are a joke and I am concerned about how many other people can

Stallman isn't a dog, or a computer, or a protocol, he's a human being, and 52 years of age does not equate to being "still a young man."

Since the NSA says that there are such strict controls on who can access what sorts of data, how did Snowden gain possession of that data? If some private contractor can walk out with "thousands of classified documents" how are

I think that the 3rd party doctrine is flawed in that the 4th Amendment specifically states that we are to be secure in our "persons, papers, and effects," which equates to the communications medium of the era of the Constitution&

Conquered the internet? I don't think so. I've never clicked on any of those ads, and I'm sure that millions of other users of Ad Block, etc, have never even seen these ads. Of interest to me was the author's reluctanc

One hand doesn't know what the other is doing and our President has the gall to espouse "accountability?" This is typical bluster and buck-passing, and I am disgusted!

I'm an American, and I am greatly concerned that our government has overstepped its mandate as well as abrogated the public trust by perpetrating this travesty. I never considered Snowden to be a "traitor," I consider him to

As are you. How many times are you willing to allow someone, or some agency, to repeatedly lie to you, before you decide to become skeptical?

Allegations of widespread, unchecked analyst access to NSA collection data are simply not true. Access to XKEYSCORE, as well as all of NSA's analytic tools, is limited to only those personnel who require access for their assign

I like to get out for daily walks, sometimes (every 10 to 15 days) going for a short 2.5 to 3 mile hike in the forest to get a change of scenery and enjoy it. I often put in 12 to 18 hours a day, so these hikes are a big help to unwind as w

Sadly, in today's upper levels of government, the term "conflict of interest" has been shunted aside for varying reasons. Also, secret court proceedings are not what one would expect from a nation which constantly cites &quot
