That's exactly what seems to have happened.

by incorrectly naming suspect. http://www.dailydot.com/news/aaron-alexis-navy-yard-linkedin-reddit/

Actually we did, now you know what was in the safe: http://www.dailydot.com/society/reddit-whatsinthisthing-locked-safe-new-zealand/

...Today, like in the Pharaohs time, anyone who complains or points out the flaws in the design are also... executed.

Um, you are sadly mistaken. If you show any signs of 'morality', you don't go anywhere in the NSA or CIA.

For example, back in 1945, the NSA started project Shamrock http://www.dailydot.com/politics/nsa-prism-shamrock-history-spying-telegraphs/ where they asked the major telegram companies to give them all telegrams sent or received oversea's, every day. No warrant, just a 'give this to us'.

Totally illegal, but not public knowledge at the time and the governments response was basically "hehe, oops, of course we never looked at telegrams sent between Americans".

Or Echolon. Google it.

The problems every security service seems to have are:

1) they have nobody to say "this is as far as you can go within the law" that isn't hand-picked to have an extremely minimalist attitude towards what should not be permitted
2) nobody goes to jail or is even criminally investigated when these programs become public knowledge. There may be a investigation by Congress or the Senate, maybe somebody retires or they don't get promoted anymore, with a report that says "We stopped doing these outrageous things long ago, weeks before it became public knowledge", but nobody ever goes to jail. Actually, no, the people that go to jail are the ones that report the wrongdoing, to make others not report other wrongdoing [which is the exact opposite of what your 'moral American' would want].

In the mean time CNN Turkey is showing a documentary about penguins

Thanks for putting me (us) up on that. Sharing that one around. I'm using http://www.dailydot.com/news/cnn-turk-istanbul-riots-penguin-doc-social-media/ because it thumbnails well on social media sites.

According to the following website, the suspected person appeared in court yesterday:

Obviously you're not aware of the Eyez scam.

The first update after they were successfully funded was a picture of the design crew enjoying a Caribbean vacation. They took $344,000 in the scam.

Australian has Attorney-General Nicola Roxon passed new laws allowing the authorities to "collect and keep Australians' internet records, including their web-browsing history, social media activity and emails." Roxon said the new powers will be used to find people "engaged in forgery, fraud, child pornography, and infringement of copyright and intellectual property".

Greens Senator Scott Ludlam says the laws went further than necessary, and the government had failed to explain why the far-reaching powers were needed: ''The European treaty doesn't require ongoing collection and retention of communications, but the Australian bill does." Ludlam said the new laws are a "lite" version of the laws Roxon had only two weeks ago promised to delay until after the next election. She didn't mention that when she announced her decision to delay those laws: everyone assumed it was over. Australian human rights lawyer Jen Robinson described it as a "A sad day for civil liberties."

as it has been said on here before many Kickstarter projects are a scam

Zioneyez used Kickstarter to steal $350,000 and delivered nothing

When people complained, Kickstarter said "no refunds"

If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Problem is word is not getting out about all the scams on Kickstarter. All we hear are the successes, so people think everything on Kickstarter is legitimate when it's not, there are plenty of scams on Kickstarter.

How many stories did Slashdot run on ZionEyez? Answer: One, and even then the story was "Has this failed?" rather than "Kickstarter project stole $350,000"

How many stories did Slashdot run on Disapora? Answer: At least seven, even though Diaspora never met it's Summer 2010 deadline and many would argue it never achieved what was promised despite receiving $190,000 more than their goal

Is everything on Kickstarter a scam? Of course not, but Kickstarter promises nothing on any project, they just give the information. In that regard it's a lot like Craigslist. Craigslist doesn't guarantee the guy you hired for roofing is going to do a good job. Difference is Kickstarter is presenting the information like it's legitimate, and I think that's where the problem is, why people are offering millions of dollars on projects that are obvious scams, because they believe Kickstarter has somehow verified these people when they're really no different than the guy offering to wash your windshield for a buck.

Can we please stop advertising for Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is a scam.

ZionEyez stole $344,000 and have not delivered anything in 11 months

Diaspora received $200,000, 20x their $10k goal. Suppose to be finished end of summer 2010, still in alpha but is "quite usable for some purposes".

When customers complain, Kickstarter says "no refunds"

Why are we still promoting them? Might as well burn your money and put it on youtube

Another comment from stalker Jason Christopher Hughes. You can see more of the same in the comments section of this article on The Daily Dot: http://www.dailydot.com/business/kickstarter-cyberstalker-victim-rachel-marone/ This quote is manufactured, and appears nowhere on the web except for places it's been posted as a quote by some sock puppet ID or an "anonymous coward", like Mr. Hughes is right here. Check http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=victor+cypert+%22resident+computer+programmer%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 and see for yourself.
