Privacy nightmare? Have some news for you about Zoom and Skype... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fte...

Flat out the Meta Raybans are awesome. I have them and love them. No need for little earbuds that you have to worry about losing and can answer a call without needing to put them in.

Except don't get those tools for spyware. Certainly get communication tools but for sure hire employees that you trust and judge them by results though?

++++ This is the most sensible thing that I've heard on the situation. Let's mourn the victims, but not let this be a cause to further erode freedom.

Do you claim to be statistically certain that 0 of those documents pose any risk to America or its allies? If a single person is harmed or there is any negative consequence for releasing all of those documents, then they should probably not be released (which consequently may be why they were classified in the first place).

Even if we are our own worst enemy, that doesn't mean that we should help out the Taliban in any way, shape, or form.

Tactics, techniques, procedures, and capabilities are what they are called.

First off, what about all of the cases that these "state secrets" protected information that should be protected? Are you saying that the vast majority of classified or senstitive documents are "State secrets" only to 'cover the asses' of X administration? The problem is, Wikileaks does not discriminate about what they want. They want people to post any and all classified, sentitive, or otherwise. Hell, why not just post a 'how to build nuclear weapons guide' for North Korea? Maybe all the military strike plans should be posted on wikileaks right before operations because everyone has the right to know? There is a reason for the classification system. It can be abused by the government just as it can be abused by Wikileaks. The difference is that the government has safeguards and oversight that is supposed to fight abuse--does Wikileaks have anything to do this?

I realize that a leak can be for a noble cause. However, the main purpose of classification is to protect items that could be harmful to national security. Their are safeguards to make sure that classification does this. If someone deliberately posts classified material, how can they know what harm it will cause?--Or do they just not care? Is this responsible journalism?

Aiding treason by helping out the Bradley Mannings of the world? What happens when Australian classified documents are posted? I realize that wikileaks has good intentions. However, the sensitive nature of the things that are posted could get people killed...

There is a reason for classification. Releasing classified documents knowingly is treason against the United States. It is written very clearly in laws. His lawyers know that he is breaking the law and are simply advising him as a lawyer should. This is not the US government being awful. This is a matter of this 'media darling' possibly performing treason against the United States of America. What do you think ANY country would do if he released their state secrets? What happens when he crosses a line and gets people killed because of this information that SHOULD? be available?

I truly wish that I did not understand this...

MLB could benefit from the high resolution available. Has anyone watched the March Madness on Demand from Cbs.sportsline.com? The quality was amazing... much better than any flash video that I have watched. It seems that Flash is way behind in terms of video. Youtube is NOT good quality. Cbs.sportsline.com's video scaled down or up based on the available bandwidth and was an excellent viewing experience. Of course, I am not factoring in the business aspects, but the quality of silverlight's video can be high. further reading http://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/article/61563

"Whose Rights Should US Courts Protect?" Sort of a loaded question...
