The latest weapon in the war on terror is...

[Mistral]

Well, OP was just a quoted article. So, is the article fail?

You're the one who said every post except that one is 'fail', not me. Admittedly, you are right that OP did fail to say much of anything of value.

[Panda Man]

I laughed.

Also, this thread sucks

[Evans]

And I still am.

Laughing, that is. Not sucking. At least, not now.

Technically or legally?

Let's go for both, now that you've mentioned it. Technically, I don't quite see the difference between tapping phone lines or listening to convos via hidden microphones and listening to electronic conversations with the help of spyware. Legally... I dunno. If it's sanctioned by the court, where's the issue?

Legally? It's different because the tap is placed on the subjects computer rather than on the telephone system, making this more akin to breaking in and bugging the place. It's also different because it has the potential to be a two-way thing, not just exporting data but bringing new data onto the system. Can't do that with a hidden mic.

Technically? Depends on precisely what the trojan can do and how it acts. If it's just datamining everything, that's one thing. If it can actually mess with the infected PC, it's entirely another.

I don't live in Germany, but still this is something to fear. To lose big part of my privacy just because of highly improbable chance that terrorist attack will happen. And even if it happens, the chance it will kill or hurt me is also very small...

It is more probable a car would run over me. It actualy happened last year. Fucking car broke both my legs and I haven't recovered my precious acrobatic skills yet. And there is no iniciative to monitor who, where or how fast drives... and even if there will be one, I don't want it.

Next time when I come to the hospital for a random operation, they will install a probe in my dick monitoring when I get an errection, because of a small chance I might be for example a pedophile... people who want to hinder privacy of other people should be shot in the head. Or at least shot in the balls so they won't be able to reproduce.

Look out U.S. government!

Hi! I think I'm witty, because I criticize the government, which is the cool thing to do!

[Ahkei]

The government totally sucks, you motherfucker, the government totally sucks.

We flipped our finger to the king of england,
stole our country from the indians.
With god on our side and guns in our hands,
we took it for our own.
A nation dedicated to liberty,
Justice and equality.
Does it look that way to you,
it doesn't look that way to me.
The sickest joke I know..

It's the trendy thing to do. Also, he's right.

Yeah, but Tenacious D rule!
