This is a good point. Why does the world continue to communicate in Plaintext? Never send Plaintext through a third party. Legit companies should be able to say 'sorry NSA but our system does not give us any access to our customers keys.'

She is being is pretentious. She says music is rare. It isn't. The only reason she is where she is due to luck and the fact a recording company ... who used to have a virtual monopoly, smiled on her ... and screwed over many others. Yes, she has "loyal fans," but if the recording companies...

My word that Windows 8 screenshot in the article is as ugly as sin.

More proof no one should trust their data with American companies.

Yes, but it's a problem when it's easy to slip from moderation to addiction. Not in the hard sense like drugs, but people are prone to addictive behaviors. Gambling is the classic. Gaming is another. App developers are famous for working out how to push our buttons so we can't walk away. Former...

Always a dumb idea. The most important factor for any currency is stability so a holder knows they can safely trade it for equal value when they need to. Pick a celebs likeness to parody it was asking for trouble. What did they expect?

You will never get a jitter free display. It was a cool scifi idea which didn't work in practice but they built a billion dollar aircraft program around it before they worked that out. Add that to the F-35's unstealthiness and you have an aircraft which is going to cost America a war.

Forget all the soppy courtroom dramas you've seen on TV or your naive notions of justice and fairness. The judges in the Eastern District of Texas bring in money to their communities. They are loathe to send the patent trolls packing for fear of jeopardizing their own jobs and the life blood...

Many freeware projects are shut down for exactly that reason, but the developers just say it. "Sorry, we don't have the time or interest to do this any more." If your theory is true, why didn't they just say that?

It was obvious but lawyers are paid good money to bully and intimidate. Their targets get nothing but sleepless nights and the fear of a sudden crushing legal bill. Parody may be protected free speech but it would eat up years of the target's life and money for a trip to the supreme court. It's...

Wow. And anyway thanks to the NSA, no one trusts American companies with security anymore. Nice work Obama!

Stalled negotiations? Try stalled blackmail

Mostly agree, but it's a social institution, not religious. Ever heard of a marriage celebrant? Or can't atheists get married?

True. Sauron doesn't spy on people with their own taxes. I mean, evil, but not that evil. Eh NSA?

Are we ready to forgive Tyson for Pluto? There is an huge exoplanet on highly eliptical orbit. In Cosmos will he be trying to call that a huge dwarfexoplanet? This madman must be stopped. Him as well.

LOL. Yes. Reminds me of NYPD Blue when Andy Sipowitz would tell a remorseless suspect to confess because "Judges love the remorse thing"

On his perjury before Congress, Clapper said: “There is only one person on the planet who actually knows what I was thinking,” Clapper told the Daily Beast. “Not the media, and not certain members of Congress, only I know what I was thinking.” Is this an attempt to cover his ass on criminal...

No. Mann is a public figure, so Steyn has to have done it with malice. If the court makes a finding that Steyn's arguments are false that will be a victory for Mann, but he could have achieved the same result with open public debate instead of suing him.

Given the favors politicians hand give donors like laws and lobbyists, industrial espionage, knighthoods, mining leases and jobs on leaving office going after Kim for a free party is ridiculous

"Windows XP: A classic that’s regrettably still with us" Regrettably? Best ever version of Windows. Better than Windows 7 which crashes very occasionally, but XP was bulletproof. After they wrote XP, Microsoft could have stopped there. Would gladly still run it if it wasn't for the 2.5Gb RAM...
