Because he was talking about computers at work? I doubt most companies are going to let you encrypt the hard drives on your work computer to block them from seeing what's on it.
Why do you assume that just because someone works on OSS that they would then have to know about Wikileaks?

In some legal jurisdictions an 18 year old person having sex with a 17 year old person is considered a pedophile
Such as? Most states I've looked at regarding such things have exceptions for cases like that to the statutory rape rules.

These people were sharing them voluntarily and there was no one who could see them shouting about pedophilia and child porn.

Those questions can be answered once the pedo apologists can provide a legitimate case of a child completely on their own seeking out to have a sexual relationship with an adult (cases of a 14 year old having sex with say a 16 or 17 year old don't count). The problem is that they can never provide such an example and thus always make up these bullshit "No true scotsman" cop outs.
Perhaps the news media should only report on stories like that only after the jury has given their verdict.
But that doesn't make for good sweeps week stories or a way to drive millions of hits to your site.

But there is a huge difference between taking a picture of little Sally in the bathtub for the home photo album than there is posting that same picture on your open-to-everyone Facebook page.
In what way? Apparently many people disagree with you as I've seen exactly such pictures on people's Facebook pages.

Are you one of those people who wrongfully conflates all nudity with pornography? The Supreme Court in the US has already ruled that pictures of kids naked, such as those in nudist families, do not automatically constitute child porn.

Groucho Marx and The Three Stooges used the line long before that show ever existed. Though it's speculated to be a pretty old vaudeville joke.

Says the person who can barely write sentences more intelligible than a 3 year old.
and cultivate a much greater awareness so there will be a huge public outcry if anything unfortunate were to happen to him.
The problem for him is there is a sizable chunk of the US population that would be more than happy to see him get sent to jail or to Gitmo for this. You highly overestimate how much positive sentiment is on his side over this ordeal.
Yes. How horrible that kids were going to school when they were young instead of working in coal mines and getting permanent disabilities before 10. Golly gee, I can't wait to go back to such a world!
Do you know there is a spelling difference between the words "tech" and "teach", right? If you would learn this it would make deciphering your posts much easier. Second on your list should be about splitting your thoughts into multiple sentences instead of one long run-on sentence that meanders.
There is no "license" when something is in the public domain. The only way one could enforce such as license would be by holding a copyright or some other sort of IP right to the code, but such a thing doesn't exist for public domain works.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, they might find out you have some encrypted stuff on their hard drives, but at least they won't be able to get into it.
Yeah, and then they'll just say "Show me what's in it or your fired for misappropriation of company resources".
That's the point. There is no way in hell that their accuracy is that great.

As a child of an era before standardized testing,
Which was when? Standardized testing is more than 80 years old. The tests we took in elementary school in the early 80s dates back to 1935.

I've met many programmers that are horrible typists. The two skills do not necessarily go hand-in-hand.
