Well before 9/11, I had a plastic squirt gun confiscated. I was like 11 at the time, I to this day don't know what they were thinking I would do with a squirt gun made out of clear plastic.
Note that the weapons the hijackers allegedly used were ILLEGAL TO CARRY ON PLANES before then, and they got them on in other ways.
Actually, it was legal to carry small knives at that time, no one would have thought that a box cutter would have been used to hijack a plane, it was more that the common wisdom was to not fight the hijackers and everyone would live.
This just in, nothing will make Shadow of Eternity happy until everything burns.
They released every piece of correspondence they could find from Snowden, they would love to point to an instance where he tried to report it and the system failed, however, he never did. But of course, you are so anti government, that they could release every email he ever sent and it wouldn't make you happy.
Snowden had whistleblower options. Flying to China/Russia and leaking the information to a foreign governments is not blowing the whistle but espionage and treason (during war time at that).
Because they're ineffective. Ask Jeffrey Sterling, Bill Binnie, or John Kiriakou how well that works.
Leaking classified information to a journalist is not the same as someone who has the clearance to know the information, and is the designated authority to blow whistles to (congress).
then they should stop violating laws and subverting the constitution
It has not been ruled that they did. The justification that was published had to do with pen registers. Also, getting a warrant satisfies the constitution, it doesn't matter which court is used for that warrant.
stop with the secret courts
Who else would you use that can see the secret information to determine if the warrant should be given?
the universal spying
the undermining of the US high tech industry
So, stop doing the job that they are asked to do by the government? The NSA is a spying agency, sorry to burst your bubble.
and the harsh punishment of whistleblowers.
No whistleblower has ever been harmed by the NSA. Disclosing secret and top secret information to foreign governments is not whistleblowing, it is treason. Snowden chose not to blow the whistle and instead commit treason, he is being charged with the crimes he committed.
There is clear evidence (both claimed by Snowden and confirmed by the NSA) that he did report his concerns to management only to be shot down, unfortunately that was the only path available to him at the time and so the inevitable happened. I for one am grateful that this information was leaked.
Bull Shit.
There is clear evidence that Snowden DID NOT report any concerns.
The government published all the emails they could find and only one of them was a question, and it was about procedural questions having to do with a training class about the authorities the NSA works under.
I don't know about that. The status of Pluto seems/ed to be pretty political.
Part of the problem is that star scientists voted to reclassify Pluto without involving planet scientists in the decision. Why the world should listen to them however, I have never understood.
Both of my children have ASDs, and both of them are uncut. I also fall on the Spectrum, it used to be called Aspergers, as well as all of us have ADHD. I highly doubt there is much of a correlation between circumcision and the structural issues in the brain which lead to Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Bull shit, don't lie, it only hurts people who might not understand how wrong this is. Autism is a brain structure issue, it is caused by a reduction in the number of connections between left and right hemispheres. No amount of beatings will correct this issue.
the fax machine hangs on in lines of business where documents have to be signed by hand.
Even there the fax machine is dying. Mortgages are done by scanning and emailing now rather than fax because the quality of faxes is too low to use properly.
Oh, like you mean, when you tell me that distribution of the hosts file by GPO makes more sense than loading a DNS zone into the DNS servers because DNS uses too much memory? GPO requires AD (unless you are running Windows versions so old as to be archaic), therefore, GPO makes little sense, and distributing hosts files to 100s or 1000s of machines uses WAY more memory than loading the entries into the AD DNS servers. Therefore you are under the mistaken belief that DNS is not required for AD and GPO, as the DNS servers are already a sunk cost, so claiming they use more memory makes no sense.
When you are ready to discuss things as an adult, I am more than happy to, but you seem to think that insults and spam posting will hide the fact that you don't know what you are talking about. You didn't invent the host file, you didn't even come up with the entries, you aggregate other people's work and claim it as your own.
Good day APK, maybe some day you will grow up enough to join the conversation instead of ad hominem attacks against anyone who engages you in the conversation and tries to help you improve your product. You don't have to take my advice, that is your choice to make. But at least I know the difference between a DNS black list and DNS blackhole list.
Oh, and also, claiming that I down modded APK 45 times with all my sock puppets is absolutely silly. APK posts off topic rants to everything I post, so he is rightfully down modded by the Slashdot community for trolling and offtopic posting. As I have repeatedly told APK, I have one account, I don't see the need to post AC, I also don't have these supposed sock puppet accounts flying around downmodding everybody disagreeing with me, that would be silly, and impossible unless I worked for Slashdot.
APK is a spamming troll that couldn't maintain Karma on an account so uses anonymous relays to get around the limits of posting anonymous. I have repeatedly refuted his assertions, but rather than take my advise on various things, he feels that he is allowed to defame me by saying things he knows are not true, and posting them so often that maybe, just maybe, someone will think they are true.
I have offered him advise on ways to improve what he does to reduce the feeling of icky his software gives everyone, he chooses to ignore the advice and attack the messenger instead of stopping to think about what was said.
Oh, and posting as "not APK" doesn't fool anyone, but because you didn't sign it, this gives me a way of responding to your shitposting.
That is the very definition of not spam. You have an actual commercial dealing with the company, and you very likely gave them permission to send you email. At the bottom of those emails is an unsubscribe link.
Spam is non solicited commercial email, if you have a relationship with the company, it is by definition not spam.
Very likely there was a defaulted checked box that said "we can send you email" there was also likely a box for "our third party buddies can send you email" and you left them checked.
My assumption is also 2, my guess is that his were the chemical weapons used in Syria, not the Syrian chemical weapons.
The US telegraphed our attack way in advance, I don't recall exactly how long it was, but my belief is it was months. There was plenty of time to move the weapons over the border into Syria.
For the Bush lied fanatics, I keep this link in a text file on my desktop, it lists tons of people in the DNC and Clinton's cabinet talking about the WMD: http://politics.slashdot.org/c...
Personally, I don't blame Obama for the current shape of Iraq, I blame the Iraqi president. He forced the US to withdraw with terms he knew we would never accept, he made his bed, and now has to sleep in it. I haven't heard of Iraq asking us to come back yet, and I would expect that would be all over the news stations if he did, so I can only assume he is being stubborn or honestly believes that his troops can handle ISIS.

Yeah, .22 casings would make sense. Think of the nailgun used to put a nail in concrete, not your typical wood nailgun.

If Snowden wanted to be a whistleblower, he should have taken his concerns to congress, not foreign governments.
Nobody has ever made that argument, every country spies, it is only China that spies for economic purposes, this is why the US criticizes them for it.
There is clear evidence (both claimed by Snowden and confirmed by the NSA) that he did report his concerns to management only to be shot down, unfortunately that was the only path available to him at the time and so the inevitable happened. I for one am grateful that this information was leaked.

To expand on this: Every government hacks into other governments; only the Chinese use it for the financial benefit of their own corporations.

Speaking of Autism... I have summoned APK to fight for hosts files against all criticism!
No, it means that all the SJWs bashing on people as being misogynistic are actually making fun of people with mental disabilities.
Both of my children have ASDs, and both of them are uncut. I also fall on the Spectrum, it used to be called Aspergers, as well as all of us have ADHD. I highly doubt there is much of a correlation between circumcision and the structural issues in the brain which lead to Autism Spectrum Disorders.

I would be quite happy with a woman more like me though.
Maybe we need ASD Friend Finder.
BTW, Aspergers no longer exists as a separate diagnosis, it is a part of Autism Spectrum Disorder now.

Links? Those two guys I chatted with on the street doesn't count.
Would these people be people who perhaps were engaged in terrorism, and decided to fly into Sweden and perform an attack?
The idea that it would be easier to extradite Assange to Sweden, then to the US rather than extraditing directly from a Five Eyes ally is naive.
I don't know, maybe they felt that no one clicks the link anyways, and mobile would make it even harder to RTFA.
