Green tech won't fix this. Countries will just start fighting over the rare earth minerals and other commodities needed for green tech. The fighting will shift slightly, but it won't stop.
No company in their right mind outside the U.S. is ever going to trust Google, MS, Apple, or pretty much any other U.S. company with their sensitive data ever again. No assurances will ever put that humpty dumpty together again. This has been a long time coming too, Snowden just confirmed what had been long suspected.
On top of that, there's barely been any marketing for the Wii U
My local Gamestop had a Wii U kiosk for a while. But some of the games on it didn't even work right, and the ones that did just looked like warmed-over versions of the same Mario platformers they've been doing for over 20 years. There was absolutely nothing in the display that made it even remotely enticing.
Every public statement they make is a fucking lie. If they tell you it's sunny outside, you can bet that it's raining. They lie to Congress, they lie to the public, they lie to the President. When they go home at night, they lie to their wives and kids. They tell their dying grandmothers that they're fine and don't need chemo. They take down "Road Closed" signs and laugh when people wreck their cars as a result. They will climb a tree to lie when they could stand on the ground and tell the truth.
This exactly demonstrates corrupt government in action
FTFY. Not all government action is a scam perpetrated by corrupt scumbags. This may be hard to believe in Detroit, but there are actually towns in the U.S. where the city government actually works FOR the people, and isn't just populated by thieves and their friends and relatives.
If the reporters for the Washington Post and New York Times whom he initially approached had done their fucking jobs, he would never have went to WikiLeaks. The reason he had to release the whole cache is because no journalist gatekeeper would take him seriously (the way Glenn Greenwald did with Snowden).
Yeah, and there is this thing called a "Slashvertisement" that you (and Timothy and several other/. editors too, for that matter) might want to look into. Because I certainly DO know one of those when I see them.
It's Apple's HR. They'll probably release a statement along the lines of "Look, deal with it or we'll replace you with someone from the long line of hipsters BEGGING to work at this store."
It doesn't matter whether the person suing you has a case or not, when you don't have the money to defend yourself. Unless you can find someone to agree to foot your legal bills in the event that you're sued, you're pretty much at the mercy of anyone who threatens to sue.

In their last Mario game, he and Luigi just sat around and smoked.

Shining beacon of freedom, shining beacon of oil--one of those.

They always lie. They always WILL lie.
He's like all politicians, just a Corporatist who happens to have either a "D" or "R" after his name.
I was going to post something similar, but you said it as well as I could hope to.

And now an article about what makes Velveeta so darned delicious!!

The U.S. government isn't looking to kill them, they mainly want two things:
1) To silence them
2) To send a clear message to any other would-be heroes about what happens to whistleblowers who embarrass the U.S. government

If you're going to attempt such a blatant slashvertisement-disquised-as-a-story, at least tell us what the fuck "The Old Reader" *is*.
I presume it's yet another RSS-reader similar to Google Reader, like so many others out there??
They DO live in Russia, after all. Come to think of it, that probably explains the drinking too.

When you can buy a full-featured Roku 3 for only $100, I don't really get it either.
And they do a lot of fucking.
If he's a *nix sysadmin, he'll probably just let you kill him.
NASA are not only used to such politics, they're the Jedi Fucking Masters of politics.
Aim for the neckbeard, it's his weakest point.
Most of the sysadmins that I work with are barely able to use vocal language.
I just judge a neighborhood by the number of black and hispanic people in it.
And so do you. But YOU won't say it.

Maybe we're in a loop like in that movie "Groundhog Day," where every day we wake up and learn the NSA are dicks all over again!
