    I'm an American citizen, born and raised, living in the United States. And I never said it was OK for him to do whatever he wanted, but thanks for the strawman Dr Stupid. The death penalty provides no more disincentive than imprisonment. I'm fine if you have the opinion the death penalty is OK. Go vote that way. All I said was how I feel, not how you should feel.

    The fact that we do not have time machines does not lead me to the conclusion we should execute people. I never said I didn't support punishments, imprisonment, law enforcement, etc. But I do not support the death penalty. You're entitled to your own opinion and I'm entitled to mine.

    You're right. We can't go back in time and give back years in prison. All we can do is release them and say sorry. But this is hardly a good reason to execute someone. To me, this means we should be as certain as possible we are convicting the right person.

    We can give the other two back when we convict the wrong person.

    That's your opinion. I feel the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" means the government doesn't get to kill you. We had that before, and it wasn't great.

    Smartphones are subsidized in the US. Not so in many other countries, and people shell out $600 - $900 for iPhones and other high smart phones.

    There's plenty on the sun we can mine. A bigger problem, though, is the dwindling vacuum supply. We need to get into space and start mining vacuum.

    You don't flash firmware unless it is for an important issue. Or at least not until it has been out quite some time so that other people have done your testing for you.

    Your advice isn't really a general solution if, in order for it to work for anyone, some people must not follow it.

    To be fair, the abstract doesn't say anything about a new shape, nor do I see anything in the introduction.

  16. He had a birthday party at the Russian embassy in an attempt to mask his involvement with Russia? Then filed for assylum, waited on approval, finally moved to Russia, and engaged Putin on TV, all in a clever attempt to cover up for the fact that he was a Russian spy/plant all along? That is stretching the bounds of credulity.

  19. So Snowden was actually a Russian spy all along? Is that why he went to Hong Kong first, then applied and waited for assylum in Russia? Sorry, that doesn't make any fucking sense. (IAA Intelligence Analyst)

    Snowden, a former NSA sysadmin, isn't an expert on any of those subjects, and probably isn't terribly interested in them either.

    Of course. Let us not forget NSA lying to congress, engaging in corporate espionage, subverting crypto standards, spying on Senators, spying on foreign leaders, and monitoring and managing online discussions on technology websites like Slashdot. But I don't see how any of that would help us track conventional military units overseas.

    Russia has just admitted that it really did move members of its armed forces into Crimea prior to the annexation. How do you think they managed that without people catching on?

    Maybe old school subterfuge? Or are you arguing we need mass warrantless surveillance of American citizens in order to track Russain military units overseas?

    When the constitution was ratified, the militia was the only defense that the United States had, and all able bodied men were expected to be ready to serve.
