This is the most repugnant thing I've seen, possibly ever,
from a US Government body.
In brief, new rules established by the SCOTUS bans
picketing, speeches, marching, or vigils on SCOTUS grounds. Shame on the
Court for this!

Ira Rothken
(Twitter) says that market forces will drive clouds to privacy friendly
places. But even that may not prevent a US corporation buying out the foreign
company to bring it under US laws.
The only way is to keep the data
yourself. We all need a simple appliance that can be plugged in at home and
operate like a cloud storage from afar via encrypted comms. Just a storage area
would be a good start, assuming the ISPs allow access of course.

Well, the USPTO leadership has wasted no time on responding to this ruling,
anyway! At a minimum, they're applying it to genetics, but it is clear they're
also looking at isolation of products of nature in general.

"Nevertheless, SAP was found directly liable for patent infringement. On
appeal, the Federal Circuit affirmed liability (and upheld a $345 million
damages award).
Isn't that the same as holding hammer manufacturers liable, because some people
use them to break windows?

"Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), the world’s largest software company, provides
intelligence agencies with information about bugs in its popular software
before it publicly releases a fix, according to two people familiar with the
process."
It's the smoking gun of the Microsoft back door.
NEXT WE WILL FIND OUT IF IT IS INTENTIONAL back doors.
At least with Linux you can audit the software yourself.
With Microsoft, they have provided back doors and you cannot find it.

“it’s not difficult to imagine how these types of events could lead to patient
harm.”
Hack the computer in the cardiologist's office used for changing parameters on a
patient's pacemaker and target someone you wish dead.
We went through some of the same problems with the Y2K issues. I would have
thought that the machine designers could have figured this stuff out already.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I haven't waded through Bernie Sander's proposed bill, but from his own
description, it sounds horrible. It sounds like it would still allow all the
data collection to continue exactly like it is today, but the Feds
wouldn't be able to look at it "without authorization".
Yeah, so
they can still violate the 4th Amendment as much as they want, but they have to
get FISA's approval to "search" it - which has proven to be so very hard
- NOT!
Bernie's bill carefully protects the rights of ... the NSA.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I used to use X.509 certificates from a company called Thawte, which used to be
owned by Mark Shuttleworth. Unfortunately, he sold it to Verisign and they
killed the free digital certificate program that had been available from Thawte.
