Thinking About the SnitchCam
Saint Aardvark writes "From Dan's Data comes a fascinating look at the consequences of tiny, wireless video cameras: "Right now, it's hard to prove that (for instance) riot police really beat the crap out of innocent people at a demonstration....Live streaming video from multiple cameras operated by lots of people at the same time, though, will be a different matter. Even without cryptographic jiggery-pokery, it'll be practically impossible to get away with even minor editing-room spin doctoring, if thousands of people around the world have the original footage on their hard drives."

I would have complained about old given that your UID is about 65K above twitter's.
And I'm much older than both you whippersnappers. GET OFF MY SERVER!

Mwahahaha!! Did you read my response to that post, or do you just blanket consider me a "troll"?
It seems to me twitter that you'll simply call "troll" anyone who doesn't share the slashbot hive groupthink, so as far as that goes I think I'll take your label as a compliment.
You on the other hand are one of the most extreme examples of what I've always thought is one of the biggest problems with free software and open source: blind hatred of Microsoft (or "M$", as you like to call them) and an unflinching, hysterical belief that you've attained some sort of moral high ground just because you give software away (well, not you but the people who actually write the software you use). Your stupid generalizations and blatant lies about what Microsoft does or does not do may be masked in all the phylosophical ramblings and syntactic sugar you like to use in your insight-filled essays, but most normal people can see that you're just a dumb zealot with a jumbo-sized chip on your shoulder and really deficient spelling skills.
After all, I'm not the one who has three or four people following me around posting the worst of my Slashdot acid trips every time I hit 'Submit' on that form.
