I know that WSJ's staff reporters and editorial board are two separate entities, but the latter outright worships the national security state. As a result of this report their next anti-crypto op-ed will be more entertaining than normal.
Ted Cruz held a Congressional "hearing" on the Ferguson Effect this week and how Obama Hates Cops. Which is hilarious in a really dark way - with a few superficial exceptions this administration has expanded the powers of the post-9/11 national security state to unprecedented levels. Your tax dollars at work people...
If anything I would expect him to make the CFAA worse. He's already proven himself a supporter of the national security state. So it's a good thing he's not running for re-election to the Senate next year.
They're also blaming video game [consoles]. As for the archived NYT article, that newspaper has had a long history of transcribing government-approved stenography (see Miller, Judy).
ISPs were able to pass twenty such laws in large part because, by framing community broadband efforts as "socialism run amok" and a dangerous infringement on free enterprise, they were able to distract the public with its own partisan bickering.
They are loathe to admit this but in reality, the situation is "socialism" for the ISPs (via taxpayer subsidies), rugged individualism for everyone else. But what makes me really laugh about this is some of these muni broadband networks are legit co-operatives and are actually run as such.
No Karl, don't you get it?! It's obviously some sort of deep commentary Kojima is trying to make about the relationship between gamers, war, and profiting off of...ok you know what, I'm just going to leave all the 2deep4u back in MGS2 where it belongs.
Alternatively, they are familiar enough with past trade agreements to have a rough idea of how the TPP will work. But 'conventional' journalism is just too dense / bought-out to make this conclusion.,
If there is one thing Trump's candidacy is good for, it's for demonstrating what a complete farce our political system has become. I really can't shed any tears about the "journalistic" stenographers who've provoked his wrath.
"But Trump can't be bought off by donors and lobbyists!" - Yeah, because for the better part of 30+ years that's exactly what he's been doing to our politicians. Guess we've finally decided to cut out the middleman and let the plutocrats run for office.
Wow, so Congress is so greedy it might just turn on itself because the TPP only gives them 99.99% of what they asked for? I'll believe it when I see it.
Sometimes I like to troll the 'it wasn't about slavery' posts with 'then was it really about oil?' - the reactions are always good for a laugh. And w/r/t the TPP, I'm sure parts of it really do have to do with oil.
As we recently covered, ProPublica (in conjunction with the New York Times) published another set of documents exposing AT&T's long-running position as Alfred to the NSA's bulk collection Batman.
Actually I'd make the argument that AT&T is Lucius Fox. It makes alot more sense if you watched TDK and remember how they located Joker in the climax...(don't take this too seriously!)
Thats the School-to-Prison pipeline in action, prison-industrial complex drools itself over this policy. And to be honest - the more I think about it, it's not that the system is 'broken'- its screwed up by design!
While some corporations have made notorious claims on political matters, and occasionally even get behind candidates, the vast majority of companies know that they're better off endorsing nobody and nothing.
That's what campaign donations are for - more discrete and more effective at peddling influence anyways.
In the meantime, with Bond in the public domain in Canada, it's not just new Bond books we're seeing, but other interesting projects as well -- such as a new unauthorized anthology of Bond stories called License Expired.
With a title like that Bond is going meta on the IP debate.

On a related note, we know that FISA judges have been purchasing Verizon stock. Gotta wonder if other judges are double-dipping too...

It's almost like Clickhole was prophetic in this regard...

For the cost of all the Train Simulator DLC I could probably get a lifetime ticket on any passenger railway that I wanted.
