  2. Re:Commute Chelsea Manning's sentence on President Obama Says He Can't Pardon Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    So if the government black ops were rounding up a town of civilians and killing them. It's top secret so no one should blow the whistle per your logic.. If those agencies were doing their job "legally" then we wouldn't have needed Snowden to blow the whistle. There is no black and white.

  3. Obama's bullshit answer on President Obama Says He Can't Pardon Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    1. Snowden did attempt to go through proper channels. The big ignore..
    2. He had no whistleblower protections in place.
    3. If he had surrendered, he would have been subjected to torture and punishment without trial. FISA court..
    4. This is like the only thing that congress has agreed with Obama on in both terms.. That in itself should be a red flag..
    5. With guarantees for fairness, he would have faced a court. Couldn't get those guarantees.

    I'm just sorry she has to die so young. It's life I know but if it brings her comfort to have herself frozen then why not? I hope she is freer and happier after death than any experience here would provide her..

  12. It's the best of the lot.. on Slashdot Asks: What's Next For Netflix? (500ish.com) · · Score: 1

    9 out of 10 times I'm watching Netflix.. Don't really see the other services as having as much material. Even HBO Now, I only kept it until Game of Thrones season wrapped up.

  13. I have been using Opera since it came out in the 90's. I'm totally going to miss using Speeddial. Nothing I've seen in other browsers match it. For those of you who think Opera sucks, Opera was the root of innovation for many features you see in other browsers. Name it.. tabs? Yup,

  14. I just patented the BALL phone.. my turn will come Apple!

    2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
    3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
    4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

  16. Dear Wikipedia Editor, If it wasn't wikipedia, I'm sure you would find something else to get gloopy about to the point where you want to end your life. Step away step away.. alter your reality and destroy your illusions..
