Having control over other people is not a Freedom; it's power. Power is what must first be justified, and also be accountable and regulated, and abolished if it cannot legitimize itself.
These people don't care about securing the INTERNET. It's becoming so obvious it's just a power grab. We've got SCADA systems on the net with embedded accounts, and some group of people who can't even spell cryptography and probably cannot do single variable calc telling us they know how to secure things. It's about control. It's up to us to create and defend a safe & free INTERNET for all. Redesign it from the ground up if we have to.
Most people involved--such as Edward Snowden & William Binney--do not want "law enforcement neutered." Some of the things the feds are doing is completely outside of law with no public scrutiny and narrow compartmentalized oversight. Even the more radical folks like Jacob Appelbaum are proposing very basic things that can be done to make the internet safer for all of us.

10 years locked in a cage for sharing knowledge, enforced by the Government--who is supposed to serve the people--at the behest of oligarchs who want total control of information. Imagine what we could achieve in this century that not even Bakunin observed. I mean free culture is exploding but what most people are exposed to is unfortunately not that system.
I'm on keto for a year off-and-on as of Thanksgiving. About calories-in-calories-out; when you do keto you will naturally eat a reasonable amount. I don't weigh my food or count calories at all, and yet I've lost over 60 pounds. I don't starve myself either. I still enjoy cooking and food in general.
you'll probably have to compile a lot of the software that you want to run under BSD
wrong
Unlike Linux, where everyone is using the same kernel
oh god youre funny
As such, selecting an implementation depends as much on low level details as it does on the userspace.
don't even know wtf you're saying
It matters what we define as "computer". A whole generation who grew up on bootstraping Free Unix OSes and reading code from the various IBM PC magazines of the 80s literally build the INTERNET and the companies around it. It was a virtue of necessity, but a still a point to consider. Kids today are not exposed to these sorts of things without outside intervention.

Your failed business model is not my problem.
Tell this to any decent CS department.

You must have not been a geek in the 70s-80s.
He's not asking you to call it "Stallmanix", Mr. Torvalds.
Transparency and accountability keeps people honest. History has proven this.
You know who else never finished their kernel? Apple. Losers, yup.
One guy continued a kernel "Just For Fun". Seems like a valid enough answer.
Get some India. I stand with you and admire your steadfast. I'm sure there are some /. users in India; Alexa confirms this, but not netcraft.
That isn't too unreasonable. A judge however; "law enforcement" is kind of vague but I don't think you mean a beat cop.

Where did all the slashdotters like you go? Have they started rounding us up already?
reasons why you're wrong
These people are just trying to sell you another war folks. They don't give a shit about the security of the internet.
History will judge them my friend. The teleprompters, makeup, and wardrobes only have a limited effect.
Agreed. \o/

This post is bullshit.
Guess they can't reach out to the NSA for candidates.
Theo said best; "We make crap, you pay extra."
General Alexander must have made a phone call to his good friend Jeff Moss.
