    Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't, but it is irrelevant because that is not what he did.

    Please explain how reviewing an unfinished movie leaked onto the internet and obtained by violating company policy is "in-depth investigative reporting".

    So, you want the government to say "Don't worry about it." for the entire year then say "Oh, by the way, give us 20% of what you earned last year or go to jail"?

    You do not speak for me because I know the meaning of the word concerning. Perhaps you should look it up in a dictionary and then read the proposed legislation again.

    grants the Secretary of Commerce access to all relevant data concerning [critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access.' This means he or she can monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard to privacy laws.

    No, that is not what that says or means. It says data about networks, not data on or transversing the network. It says the Secretary of Commerce will have access to things like IP addresses; bandwidth and capacity; lists of servers, routers, etc.

    It does not say the Secretary of Commerce "can monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard to privacy laws." That is an outright lie.

    Shooting a fleeing burglar or robber in the back is absolutely proper. Once said dirtbag has a few bullets in him, he will not be burgling or robbing anyone again.

    If you want a true proportional response, once a thief breaks into one's house and steals once property, one should be allowed go into the thief's house and take anything and everything one wants. That is proportional response.

    You are just a bleeding-heart who thinks criminals should be accorded protections while they go about their chosen profession.

    They only become criminals because the government wants sheeple who are easy picking for the criminals. If the government were to repeal the laws that criminalize people who defend themselves, then when they wouldn't be come criminals when they defend themselves.

    The government's behavior is "Don't hurt the poor, downtrodden criminal, you mean victim." Where is the intelligence, the justice in that?

    Kill enough criminals and the crime rate will go down.

    And, they tried Tony for murder, convicted, and sentence to life in prison. It is doubtful anyone will protect themselves when the government punishes them for doing so.

    In a society where criminals go unpunished and those that attempt to protect themselves are punished, crime will be rampant.

    My family lives in Arab, AL. The crime rate is so low there that someone stealing a watch and five dollars in a burglary was front page news in the local newspaper.

    In 2004, with a population of 8,000, there were:
    0 murders,
    1 rape,
    1 robbery,
    7 assaults,
    84 burglaries,
    23 auto thefts,
    390 unclassified thefts.

    It doesn't matter if anyone likes it. It doesn't matter if Linux is "damned to an eternity of navel-gazing".

    Actually, it does matter. It matters because of the Linux evangelists who keep trying to get the average user to use Linux on the desktop and hold Linux Install Day events.

    It matters and it will continue to matter as long as Linux advocates try to appeal to the mass market.
