Full acknowledgement, btw. even such a "terrorist" computer setup in practise isn't 100% safe, but just 80% or less, I anyway call it 100%. We can't do anything against it. You can not really protect your data, you only can protect your setup at home. I didn't like Obama from the beginning, all bad I prophesied became true. Not hard to do such a prophecy ;). And btw. indignation of German politicians about Guantanamo or offending data protection is histrionics. We anyway can be happy, when we're living in a free western civilisation. I don't say we're living in perfect nations. I've got a criminal record, because I didn't join the German armed forces! However, im my country you got a jail sentence for not joining the armed forces (in a land that started 2 world wars, so I had a good reason not to join it!), _but_ in other countries they kill people, if they don't join their armies, they even force children to be soldiers. Around 25 years later, since some years ago, Germans are free not to join the German armed forces anymore. AFAIK in the USA they don't separate black and white humans anymore ;), IOW progress is slowly measured on the lifespan of men, but 20 or 50 years aren't that much. We don't have the wide spread access to the Internet for a long enough time, we need some time to civilize data protection. Let's do it without being paranoid or even surprised _and_ without party activism :(, changing the world is work and can't be done by parties or long line of demonstrators carrying lights, that's just bullshit. If we know what companies are bad, we should start not to buy from those companies, not to use their free services, _if_ possible. If e.g. labor conditions are bad at Amazone, the solution is easy. Don't order from Amazone and drop Ubuntu that ships with menu links to Amazone etc., you even don't need to risk a criminal record. But the party activist make anti-Amazone parties and order the party supplies from Amazone. Have you ever joined a mailing list of the Pirate party? I did, party people, they discredit their own people who do real social/political work. "At our last Pirate party I talked to Mr. X, but he still works the things off he has to do, instead of taking care about what I said to him on our last party."
