Are you saying that this was written by someone who would like Americans to spend more?

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: This is a blog post that’s incredibly confusing and painful for me to write

"patently" should be discontinued as meaning obviously? It makes it confusing when you look at existing patents...

if I was the NSA I probably would target my own employees first as they have the most power to take me down

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: NSA classifies Linux Journal readers as extremists

since their goal doesn't appear to be to stop "terrorists", is their goal to stop unwanted politicians?

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: Why use www?

I thought the port would take care of this

Create a fake tower like they do to illegally intercept cellphone calls?

I have seen people and some cops with their phone mounted on their chest or shoulder with the camera pointing forward. Also a phone can record audio even if it's hidden (http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2005/09/14_key.s...).

Can someone explain why "phones" should not be considered a treat to privacy if you think Google Glass is?

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: Google Glass Snoopers Can Steal Your Passcode With a Glance

hopefully they are consistent and have the same comments about anyone having their phone out of their pocket

Which law are you talking about?

Have you purchased a domain name before? yes and no...

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: Massive increase to Onedrive storage plans

if it was not legit, it probably would have been a lot faster since they have it in their cache...

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: Massive increase to Onedrive storage plans

That is not as bad as what you described, but it also corrupted one file in my multi-volume archive that is now not recoverable

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: A Laser Message from Space

and we are using drones to deliver them, whether you like it or not

esbonsa | 11 years ago | on: A Laser Message from Space

If they had a way to have almost unlimited ground targets (maybe using a rotating mirror, or something like https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/117421627/the-peachy-pr...), I could deal with the not so bad ~240ms lag for most of my communications (if you aren't gaming), especially if it's faster then my slow cable connection....

I seriously think that Google's end-goal is to show you only one sponsored result per search query whether it is relevant or not (there will be no real search results, it will be more like TV)
