I could maybe get over the fact that Manning was a soldier and he betrayed his duty--but my problem is that Manning's disclosure was so very indiscriminate.
Manning is the living definition of a fool.
I believe Manning's apology. I think that there is a likelihood real human beings were harmed by Manning's disclosures.
Still think he got way too much time and was way overprosecuted.
Sooner or later some evil person is going to figure out a way to biologically/mechanically enhance a human being into a "supersoldier," in a way that will compromise the long term health or well being of he human being.
Then everybody else is going to do the same awful thing, just to compete. Because they 'have to.'
Perhaps the classified sentencing testimony had a strong emotional impact on PFC Manning. Maybe he realized that he really did, quite unnecessarily, hurt a lot of people. He's an emotionally damaged kid.
He deserves real prison time, but not something that's going to take most of his life away.
CEO's get paid obscene amounts of money. It's reasonable to expect them to justify such a lavish outlay by telling the public how "unique," "indispensable," and "valuable they are. News at 11.
They should have a season with dozens of Dr. Whos at the same time, interacting in overlapping dimensions, with an obsessive female Doctor madly trying to reintegrate them back into the dimensional pigeonholes 'where they belong.'
You do know that there was a real Cowboy Neal out there--a very famous one. Neal Cassady Jack Kerouac's running partner and an OG of the 'Beat Generation.'
Maybe CowboyNeal is gonna get his ass sued by Neal Cassady's estate!
Libraries should be archiving (and date-stamping) code. When copyright expires, that code can form public domain building blocks for a lot of cool stuff.
The kids of the future won't have to reinvent the wheel, they'll be able to improve it.
Or . . . get all your money upfront and walk away. The producers are going to savage your work and then rip you off on the back end. Take the money and run!
If you can figure it out yourself, go for the math and science education. If you can't, don't even try.
Your professors are generally not teachers--they're publishers of academic articles. Your teaching assistants are inexperienced grad students who are paid shit.
For this your student loans have doubled interest rates and your student loan debt is nondischargeable in bankruptcy.
The "idiotic political leftists" in Germany were the only people standing against Hitler.
The "free market" capitalists loved Hitler and brought him to power. The "free market" capitalists also brought the Great Depression to Germany, with its destitution and starvation.
You're mixing up some sensible thoughts with a lot of mindless propaganda.

This is all about not creating evidence that could cost the government money.
Amazon kills competition. Great!
People have to find new jobs.
People work for Amazon.
Man, that really sucks. . . .

Yes! We should all be virtuous moral borrowers, just like our corporate overlords!
How fabulous! If we cure aging, then we'll get to have WAR all of the fucking time because of the population pressure.
Or we can reserve anti-aging treatments for the rich and privileged.
ATMs ought to display a picture of what they are 'supposed' to look like. Might help fight the assholes with the skimmers.

And, if you let them, the NSA will be owning exponentially expensive taxpayer-funded stuff that is then used to spy on taxpayers.

If they're listening to US landlines without a warrant, then they are willfully violating the Constitution.
I worry that Bush and Obama have knowingly permitted this.
They should have a season with dozens of Dr. Whos at the same time, interacting in overlapping dimensions, with an obsessive female Doctor madly trying to reintegrate them back into the dimensional pigeonholes 'where they belong.'
I can't imagine this being true.

That's nonsense. Apple is way more locked down than even locked down Windows.

Software patents suck.
I can't wait to see how James Bond gets around this one.

Graham Greene LIVES!
YAY!!

This is the Republican "free market." Enjoy it.
What a surprise! The Catholic Church adopts omerta as an institutional value.
First rule of Catholic Club: You don't talk about Catholic Club.

The Bradley Manning case has demonstrated that Snowden can expect the most extreme prosecution and punishment possible.
Is such extreme punishment warranted?
That's extreme right wing crazy talk!
You could have made exactly the same argument in the German Democratic Republic in 1974.
We are watching you.
