The USA is fast becoming a nation where only capital investors have rights. That means that your choices are: 1) leave, 2) become a capital investor, or 3) accept your lack of rights. Until the political climate swings back to the left, it will be this way.
Not saying I like it, but he is right - our constitution says nothing about a right to privacy, the only privacy is that which is granted by individual laws. Why hasn't anybody ran for president on a platform of restoring privacy to the citizenry? I can't believe it hasn't been done already. It's a political slam dunk, even more than invoking Jesus as your running mate. Nobody wants their privacy to be invaded, atheists included.
I'm sure they meant "Nintendo's long-held portable gaming throne", but they couldn't write that because people who successfully submit articles to/. have a fetish for mentioning product names in the copy. hmmm.....
sure, ruin an american citizen's life and that of his family because he made a stupid mistake. Run to Daddy Fed to protect you from stupidity. People like you are proof that the terrorists have won.
I code in Perl and Java all day. I don't program as a hobby anymore, but I still do lots of PC gaming and I do some fiction writing on my PC. I wouldn't say that working as a coder has completely ruined programming for me, just that I get my fill of it at work. When I have interesting projects I do enjoy my work a great deal, but in the real world of business software development interesting projects are few and far between.
I'd rather have a boring job and an interesting private life than a job that was always challenging, though.
From watching countless movies over the years I've come to the conclusion that actors need to be inspired by a good screenplay more than by direction. No matter who they're working for, no actor looks or feels like a genius when uttering lines or going through plot motions that would make George Lucas look like Tennessee Williams.

Whoever modded me flamebait is in for a rude awakening when they finally move out of mom's basement.
Is there nothing that can't be open-sourced?
How about making a living?
sounds like a lesson in the single man's creed:
"No matter how hot she is, someone somewhere is sick of her shit."
Have you ever even spoken to a woman in your life, or are you just guessing based on typical slashdot stereotypes?
Every woman I know is far better at handling money than either I am or their significant others are.
Dear Slashdot Forum,
Wow! I never thought these letters were real until Tuesday! Two 19 year old girls came over and we did calculus until 6AM! It was SO HOT!
[insert bullshit about slopes of curves, long division, three-variable functions, multiplication of imaginary numbers, and whatnot]
federal pound-me-in-the-ass-ware?
it's a Martian coprolite! Now we can tell what they ate!
I didn't say they had to actually mean it, just use it as a campaign platform.

I thought this was going to be an article on a huge surge in Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd downloads

Dammit, I got it backwards. Oh well. It's just Slashdot
Ah yes, the Heisenberg method of project management...
no, it's just that development environment and library upgrades are free.

yikes! I hope they design it while Anthony Hopkins is still alive, otherwise we'll never be able to defeat it!
no, Quantum Creatinism, the idea that Mark McGwire didn't really hit 62 home runs, we only observed that he did.
I don't know, but hell, I'll take the extra karma. It was just a stupid joke..
yeah, because if it eats you, you can't cast Raise Dead on the body
