Getting a lot of people killed because you want to publicize how a few people got killed is still getting a lot of people killed.
1) Document the additional deaths due to the leaks
2) Document and justify your use of "a lot" and "few" in your claim "getting a lot of people killed... few people got killed"
You can't, can you? It's just ex recto apologism, right?
I have an i7 quad core with 8 threads that are visibly pegged at ~100% in Task Manager for hours on end. How? Try using the higher quality settings on Carrara or DAZ Studio. They will peg any cpu or box that will be produced in the next ten years.
I'm sure there are plenty of other compute-intensive applications out there that will bring any cpu to its knees and make it beg for mercy.
No need. It's called commercial pop-culture. The beauty of it is that everyone gets it beforehand, like you, practically from birth.
You don't see what is right before your eyes. You think that being able to post drivel on blogs is a showcase of freedom. We have among the worst education, medical care, and retirement policies in the industrialized world yet you exclude it from the discussion. We have a deep recession thanks to tyrants and their politician-minions, and you exclude it. We are fighting "The War on Drugs" and "The War on Terror" for the sole purpose of having tyrants loot our society side-by-side with drug traffickers and the financiers of Sunni Islamic terrorism, and you exclude it. We happily allow immigrants to come in and work as slave labor, then do everything to punish them and deny them services they have already paid for via the taxes withheld from their paychecks, and you exclude that as well from the discussion. But Oh My! We can post whatever we want on Slashdot and HuffPost and thousands of other forgettable sites! That proves we are free!
Wake up, pal. You are nowhere near as free as you think you are. Your life is as constrained by our bullshit corporatist state as the Chinese are by their bullshit corporatist state. The only difference is that you are showered with a moronic brain-junk-food commercial pop-culture that has evidently convinced you completely that you are free and can express yourself freely and without limit.
You're not. You are just as enslaved, censored, exploited, and brainwashed as they are. Beware, it is vastly worse than you imagine.
For all you sci fi space adventure magical/religious cult true believers, "get off this rock" fanatics, and other gullible, deluded saps, this MUST be evidence enough of what is really driving NASA's manned space program. The point is to give as much money as possible to the defense/aerospace industry. The rest is just cosmetic bullshit for suckers.
Yeah, cutting the science out to make a really big expensive rocket. What a concept.

Such websites would be illegal in Texas, I don't know whether they have or even can shut them down. I see you are claiming that Pakistan's actions are far worse, and I agree that they are. I make the additional point that similar forces are eroding our rights here at home. Our only consolation is that it is much more difficult for them here, but they are gradually changing our laws to treat us just like any other Third World vassals.
It is refreshing to learn that the US is not the only country governed by corrupt, ignorant, simple-minded, exploitative religious fanatics. A bit disconcerting, but refreshing nonetheless.
Count on "policy wonks" to draw the maximally moronic conclusions possible. Naturally, spending trillions of dollars on invading other countries, the "War on Drugs," the "War on Terror," and other orgies of pork-barrel politics is just fine and dandy for our economic and industrial development, trade deficit, social well-being, etc.
No, no. The universal tools easily available everywhere in the world are cigarette butts, chewing gum, sticks, rocks, wads of paper or pieces of cardboard, and short lengths of old rubber tubing that can be found lying around almost anywhere. Learn to use them well and you can hack the planet.

When it gets bad enough that your family can no longer predict when they will have their next meal, or if eviction is imminent, or if any of a variety of such extreme cases occur, believe me, you will start thinking of criminal activities. At very least you will seriously consider stealing groceries.
I want a job where I can spout deranged foaming-at-the-mouth drivel and get paid for it too! I can make up all sorts of crap as good as the next guy.
I should have gotten on the "The PC is Dead" bandwagon years ago, started a blog, made loud crazy pronouncements and gotten them echoed in the news media, and maybe made some money via the AdSense ads on my blog. But no. Here I am eagerly awaiting consumer PCs with 12 cores on them so that I don't have to wait 24 hours for renders to finish. I guess I should move all my 3D work to the iPad or the cloud.
Seriously, though, what a crock of shit. Surely only lunatics and the mentally disabled buy this crap, right?
The whole notion that space showmanship and manned space flight get kids excited and interested in science and engineering is way way overblown. I doubt that it has been the major stimulus for more than a tiny fraction of scientists and engineers. It is usually a wide variety of influences on minds that are already inclined towards rational thought, creativity, and understanding of the world that get people into those fields.
Seeing robots carry out useful, intelligently designed missions far away and being able to view detailed remote sensing would be just as exciting. Nobody cares if some bozo is up there being a human explorer. Nobody lives vicariously through them just as nobody gets excited that some stranger went on vacation to Hawaii. You get excited when you go to Hawaii, who cares about the other guy. If we were all able to view 3D video taken from various angles by robotic probes, it is the next best thing to being there ourselves. I personally don't give a rats ass that a bunch of Joe Schmos are up in the ISS jerking off, nor does it matter to me whether a robot is humanoid or has N legs. That is just silly, wasteful showmanship.
I have to admit that this is pretty much the gist of the "get our asses to Mars" crowd's argument. Of course, it justifies anything from a trip to New Jersey to a trip to another galaxy so it is just this side of meaningless, to say nothing of just plain dumb.
The creation of a human outpost on Mars is still some way off
Brilliant Holmes! Brilliant! "Some way off"! An astoundingly apt yet utterly meaningless estimate! Will it be in a year? 10 years? 50? 100? 1000? What does it even mean? Will it be 3 or 4 poor schmucks left to die on a distant and unfathomably inhospitable outpost? Will there be men and women, expected to raise families? Will they slide off into madness? Will there be 100 people? 1000? A million? And, of course, we cannot forget the tawdry subject of coin: what will it cost, and what could possibly justify it?
What can they do that cannot be done better, more cheaply, far more ambitiously and on a much larger scale by machines?

A rather apt analogy, actually.
