Funny, yours is the first post I've seen in this thread to mention any of that.
Agreed. When wrongdoing is done, it's irrelevant the politics or religion or philosophy of the wrongdoer. "Both sides" don't do it, just criminals commit crimes. We have laws that outline what is prohibited. But we apparently also have laws that are prohibited from being revealed, and we don't know what they allow. And that's wrong too.
I don't know enough about personnel internals at CIA or NSA. With what I do know, I have to view with suspicion a personnel history report that appears months after Snowden began leaking information. He's publicly humiliated the NSA, called them liars and produced some proof that they've crossed the line(s) of acceptable behavior. I would expect these agencies to produce "evidence" that denigrates his position, and I would not at first glance accept it.

I mean, they're dangerous (!), so pilots can't use them during critical flight time. Right? I know, we're about to have this restriction reset thanks to hindsight and sanity.
There's so much carbon-rich waste that could theoretically be "fuel" for this process, it's about time that people are looking into this possibility. In a sane competitive entrepreneurial world this would come out of the labs of the big oil companies, or from some "methane alley" start-up investment group. But seeing as how nearly every large tech-based corporation has repeated dropped the ball on follow-on technology and competition, I guess it's just more of the same.

I don't think I've ever seen this excuse for CEO pay or bonuses: "You've done a great job and we're grateful, but we're not raising your pay this year, or giving you a bonus, or even sharing these profits you helped create, because you'd be very disappointed if things went south later."
Oh, but you say they need to jettison American staff to comply with soon-to-appear orders not to spy on Americans anymore? Tactic 2: "We used to spy on Americans, but we stopped doing that six [weeks, days, months, years] ago, changed our policies and do not do that anymore. (repeat if challenged again).
But the point is the NSA is spying on Americans too, collecting as much as they can, accessing it whenever they want, and lying about it. So they don't need to factor in extra-American staff.
Nobody (statistically) buys it and installs it, everyone who uses it finds it installed and locally modified on the machine they bought or the one given to them by their employer.
It's a phone-based credit company with technology that nearly no one understands, and it's quickly raised $25 million. Why does that sound suspicious? Is that charged to Andreessen's phone bill alone? I hope some of it doesn't appear on my elderly mom's phone bill next month.
Speculation: The secret pre-history of the NSA may apply to the current Snowden issues. Reading Bamford (Puzzle Palace et al) it's obvious that the USA has been able to "coax" carriers and software developers into providing back-doors into their trunk lines and software. I've always wondered if it's because the NSA has prior art in much of computing discoveries of the pas 75 years, and uses it to gain access to whereever it wants to go? I mean, it does go whereever it wants to, and this may be why. I'm just sayin'.
The online factor, to me, is just the way you meet someone. The dating, relationship, spending time, getting to know them, appreciating each other (or not), all that is the same. How you meet someone, that initial encounter, is really almost irrelevant to what happens next (except for getting it to happen at all), unless you want it to mean something important.
But I think some people here are writing about meeting and developing a committed relationship totally online - if so, to me that's, um, crazy.
Of course, you don't need a missile to deliver a nuke to a place where it can do a lot of damage - as evidenced by nearly every nuclear test ever done. And you don't need a nuclear explosion to disperse enough radioactive stuff in a populated area to do a lot of damage, as evidenced by Fukushima or Chernobyl. So why is everyone hung up on the missile capabilities of North Korea?

Or, put another way, the court cannot perceive how it is the same as an extortion ring.

Or if global conflict made some sources inaccessible that might spur investment. Of course then it would drive up prices and, um, nevermind.

Yes - data safes are worthless when the spy agency has access to all the I/O pipes.
At this rate, in 50 years we'll be carrying them around and debating if personal linear-accelerator-guns are covered under the 2nd amendment.

Queue the jokes for SOS (sh*t on a shingle).
What? I keep hearing we're preparing to bomb Sirius.

Like Snowden, Manning's personal story is not the story. What he disclosed is the story.

Could somebody translate that into Chicago-units? Here in the US we're having trouble visualizing this.

I second that. I read the above regarding "massive OS/2 TV campaigns" and wondered what planet that was on because I never saw any.
