The apology was also removed. With the NSA committing industrial espionage and able to do insider trading in order to fund its operations off the books I am sure they can also most generously "donate" money to Universities.

Re. current discussions of security and code review because of NSA and other government entities corrupting standards. If Google and Facebook cannot find such simple errors and then even balk at implementing a fix, which turns out to reveal

As a rule of thumb I would recommend that no government agency be trusted about any projects they develop. Everyone would be better off {blank stare} Beyond that, there really needs to be more focus on open-source and public code review wit

I have found that the more loudmouth and jerk-like the person is, the more they are covering up the realization that what they have/do is not all that unique, significant, or otherwise difficult yet rather comfortable and lucrative. Th

Trust? Doesn't seem all that diffcult, especially with some marketing. Are you trying to say that Facebook and Twitter are better names?

ummm ... trust? I didn't find it that difficult. What does Facebook tell us about its service? Reminds me of a perpetrator log, which, I guess it has kind of revealed itself as with revelations that facebook is essentially a mass surve

Read up on the history of the railroad sector. It's corrupt, it's nasty, it's disgusting, and it's depressing.

OK, that explains things now. But I don't think that's the best default display, especially since it is not explained anywhere. I don't recall any examples where the base inflation year is the past by default. It's great

"hype"? Your bar for exaggeration is quite a bit lower than mine, which is impressive in and of itself. I thought we are just looking at it, constructively critiquing it, and supporting the effort, discovering any possible innovat

I don't think that's all that wrong since you are moving from one budget to another, but what confuses me is that the animations are not consistent. Although they seem to be fixed to the specific display state it's inconsiste

Please correct me, but there seems to be something wrong. Look at the 2013 budget, "Per Capita", and "Inflation Adjusted". Those numbers should essentially be the same as "Plain Dollars", which is multiples lar

Something that came to my mind is that the whole German economy, and Japanese for that matter, is in for some seriously choppy waters ahead. I think the Japanese are far more ahead than the Germans, but when you consider just how much of th

Isn't the "winner" the current crumby logo? I would suspect that beyond any kind of validity questions from the surveyed cohort that there is a significant bias built in. Humans are kind of silly that they will always choose

I wonder if they are aware of the super high resolution weather satellites that NOAA is putting up into orbit and will come on line, I believe, end of this year. I was talking to a high level NOAA official on the technical side and he was s

Can confirm. Just like with many other types of research. It's part of our culture to exaggerate and be deceptive. It is how our politics, our government, our culture, our business, and how our economy as a whole function. Before I get

Call me naive. but I've never understood why it is so difficult to simply thwart brut-force attacks by setting limits on how many times a password can be entered. Wouldn't that simply defeat all efforts if, e.g., after 20 password

What I find interesting is that the racial breakdown is still so racist.... White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Other/Multi-racial ??? It's shameful! It's racist because only the White cohort shares any measurable uniformity. Blac

Interesting. "Samuru" brought it right up, but putting it in context "Samuru search engine" brought up tangential, secondary information, i.e., stories about samuru.

You should always look on page 386,549 of the 8 million search results. That's where the best results can be found.

We really need to come to the internalized understanding that our government is increasingly becoming a threat to its people and a danger from within; a saboteur, a spy, a traitor to it's own people. As Peter Swire has pointed out in a

As long as there is no default way of doing that for the majority of activity of the lowly user it will not succeed. If, e.g., Mozilla and Ubuntu built it in to all their assets by default with the ability to disable it, then you might have

Lying liars trained to lie, cheat, manipulate, steal, and deceive are lying, cheating, manipulating, stealing, and deceiving. I'm shocked! The enemy is within.

You know, the thing that gets me most about all of this state surveillance that Bush initiated but has been in place for decades now to a lesser and more controlled extent, is that it is absolutely inefficient and inefficacious. The NSA cla
