    Could a terrorist build some nasty device with these . . . ? I don't know why that's the first thing that came to my mind. Maybe because for that last eight years, governments and the media have been pounding a mantra into my mind: "Terrorist / Security / Terrorist / Security . . ."

  10. Re:I believe almost every free software I use has. on Examining Software Liability In the Open Source Community · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So.....you're going to sue a developer for a defect, intentional or not, even though they said it was not warrantied and use at your own risk?

    No lawyer will sue individuals developers . . . they have no money. They will try to sue a big company, um, like what SCO tried with IBM. Lawyers go after the money.

    Some big companies even forbid their programmers from working on Open Source projects on their own time . . . unless they are approved by their employer, of course. Because the lawyer suing will try to twist it so that the employer is responsible . . . because only a big company has enough cash to make it worth their effort.

    Maybe I need to know how *bright* the things actually are. Like, how many humans would I need to illuminate the Library of Congress? That would seem like appropriate Slashdot units.

  21. The Stasi, revisited . . . on NSA To Use Cloud Model For Intelligence Analysis · · Score: 1, Informative

    . . . the Stasi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi , the former East Germany's secret police, ended up collecting so much information on folks, that they couldn't process it all.
