"210 reasons..." pretty much covers it. Too much communism, capitalism, religion, and lack of religion. Etc.
Interesting, the list contains much of the best of humans, as well as the worst.
I guess I'm reminded that every solution to a problem contains the seeds of the next problem.
"The message is a message to all the people that is we're going to exert our power over you," he said. "Jews are the default scapegoat throughout history for despots to send a message to the general public: Don't step out of line."
"Talking about NSA "invasions of privacy" is a bit ironic when you're cooperating with a country that is literally invading other countries."
Good point.
I'm also reminded a bit of Benedict Arnold. He was a patriot, too.
I expect that the results of snowden's actions will be hundred of thousands, if not millions, of deaths. It will take one or two decades for the ramifications to fully expand.
I'm way in the middle of a hundred postings. I reply to an article. I ask it to be quoted. Oops, the quote tags are visible, wtf is this? Ok, go into options. For some reason I was reset to "extrans". Ok, whatever, I change back to html. I save, and, lo and behold, my comment is gone, all the other comments are missing. I'm back to the first page with the first five comments.
And this is in the "good, well-programmed" version, not the beta.
"...couldnt take a 7.62x39 mm bullet...". Maybe, but it occurs to me that in many special ops missions, if a bullet is flying, the mission has already failed. This may not be a tool selected for certain missions, but may be a fine tool for others.
I suppose we could save NASA some bucks, though. Get rid of the engineering teams and find the AC that thinks of things that (obviously) none of the NASA folks were able to. In a throwaway Slashdot post, no less.
I feel your pain. Still, Scorch_Mechanic in another post has it right. A little something to catch the eye of the public.
It gives teachers a chance to engage their kids. If we have any engaged teachers, that is; it could be that the last time they were engaged, they were sitting in auditoriums across America, watching the devil's-horns of the SRB's wandering from the cloud of gas that was Challenger.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd rather "the taxpayers dime" than the taxpayers millions.
Did you just squeeze a fun, informative fact into a gripe about spelling?
That's called killing two stones with one bird.
I'll second that. "The History of Rome" podcast was pretty good. I still go back and listen to some of my favorite episodes.

Well, yeah, the Georgian prez nailed it. One paragraph in a diplomatic cable. One man's opinion. This is what you call "the entire Crimean plan"?
Absolutely. A huge part of spycraft is keeping the other side in the dark about what you actually know and how you know it.
I agree. I expect it will lead to hundred of thousands, if not millions of deaths.
You have no idea.
Watch 5 minutes of Russia Today. Fox News is fair and balanced, in comparison.
Hah! That's worth a grin.

"These are not the drones you're looking for"
Yeah. It reminds me of...
"...and the wolf came along and blew the house of straw away. So the second little pig built his house of wood, and..." etc.
One moral of the story is "Learn from your mistakes and build it better", and not "Oh no, there was a mistake, we must quit building."
"Beibs in Space!". I like that. It has a nice ring to it.
Yes, very nice. Using tight clothing to maintain pressure and hold the gooey bits together. I wonder how it does against micro-meteorites.
...and frikkin' lasers on the helmet. Who doesn't put lasers on the helmet?
good answer
Hear hear!

I vote yes.
