The honorable thing would be to tell the world of the spying on US citizens and things that were actually illegal and wrong. Full Stop.
Leaking documents about spying on other countries 'allies' or not, makes him a traitor. If you're too ignorant of politics to understand that all countries do their VERY BEST to spy on others, then you really don't have a place in this discussion. Spying on ALL other countries, 'allies' or otherwise, is the NSA's mandate.
You've just told us that you think the janitors at the NSA are as responsible as people like Snowden himself... who you know... HELPED TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THIS SHIT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Jesus christ, you want so hard to hate the NSA that logical and thought go right out the window.
That does emphatically NOT include things like spying on allied heads of state, foreign competitors of US corporations, or the entire population of supposedly friendly nations
Actually it does, its in their mandate, but don't let reality fuck up your selfish ignorant world view.
Outting the spying on the US citizens, which is illegal... honorable.
Outting the operations of the NSA against other nations, which is legal AND THEIR JOB... traitor.
I'm not sure how I can make it any more clear, if you can't understand that you need to go see a doctor or at least close your slashdot account because you don't belong here.
If you think they are loans or investments, you were too stupid to read the page they made you click an 'i understand' checkbox on when you donated the money and you deserve to get screwed.
And it would break as soon as you bent the retaining clip putting it in your remote, right back to square one. Good job.
Materials science is a lot harder than 'just make it out of plastic'. 3d printing has a niche that its fine for, but thinking you're going to be able to print anything you want with the exact properties of the material you need just because you have a printer that takes PLA is... well, just ignorant.
Because even the shittiest injection molded part is hundreds of times better than what you're printing, cost, strength, weight, finish... in EVERY WAY.
No metal printing for less than hundreds of thousands of dollars, and no, just because you mix some metal powder in with the plastic doesn't mean that the part magically as strong as metal.
You've read some stuff by some people on the Internet that is so far from reality it makes Peter Pan look real, and you believe it...
You do realize that anything 3d printed at home is going to be FAR inferior to even the shittiest chinese knock off ABS injection molded part, right?
You guys don't get it, 3d printed stuff is crap unless you're printing on a 300k machine that prints in materials that cost a fortune.
You go ahead and pull the trigger on that 3d printed gun, considering even the guys who designed it aren't that stupid... oh yea, its also easier to just got the local hardware store and get far superior parts than your shitty plastic printed gun. The idea of a 3d printed gun is novel, but retarded from a practical perspective.
The problem with people like you is that you've never used anything 3d printed and you have absolutely no idea what its realistically capable of. You believe in fairy tales.
Blowing the top off the spying on US citizens would have been honorable. He would have been taking one for the team, so to speak.
Grabbing a bunch of different shit, some of it state secrets and 100% legal and exactly what the NSA was supposed to do... and just throwing it ALL out there... thats where he went from hero to traitor.
He wasn't trying to protect US citizens, he was trying to embarrass the NSA and the government, thats entirely different and thats why he's a traitor.
The NSA spying on American's is wrong and should be called out.
The NSA spying on the rest of the world IS DOING THIER FUCKING JOB.
If you're too naive to understand how politics work and think that our 'allies' aren't trying to do the same then you're just ignorant and small-minded, but still wrong.
Snowden could have called them out on what was wrong, and he would have been a hero.
What he did was steal a bunch of shit and spew it to the first people he could hand it off to, only a small portion of which was actually criminal and wrong.
No doubt, they did break the law (constitution), but that doesn't justify releasing all the other crap that was ENTIRELY LEGAL AND WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. That made him a traitor.
I'm sorry if you can't make distinctions between different things, you should work on that. One good thing does not magically negate one bad thing.
You mean by illustrating that trendy libertardians and left wing nut jobs can't tell the difference between a traitor and a hero?
Neither of them deserve any awards, but should be imprisoned for their crimes.
Snowden could have been honorable, but instead he decided spew state secrets that were not in any way against our laws and damage international relations.
Is it a macbook pro from the 90s? They've had palm detection since the very first multitouch trackpads they put on the machines to deal with your palm resting on it.
I can not make anything happen by rubbing my palm on the track pad. You should take it to an Apple store and have it serviced if thats really happening to you, your palm shouldn't cause any movement of the mouse at all, even if you slide all over the pad on purpose. It uses fingers, not palms for tracking.
These trackpads-under-the-palms are fucking terrible.
"I need to disable this because I'm constantly moving the cursor with my palms while I try to type and now I need to go buy a USB mouse for this poorly designed piece of shit." terrible.
Stop using such a shitty OS that it can't tell the difference between a palm resting on it and some one using it for a pointer.
THIS is why Apple gets the patents. MacBook trackpads have no problems with your palm sliding all over the LARGE trackpad and not causing input errors.
You act like Apple is evil and you're platform is far superior... but you only think that because you're not actually aware of how the real deal works, only your half assed knock off.
This entire post has had both my palms laying slightly on the trackpad and moving. Mouse cursor never even showing up.
You like crap because you don't know any better but thats not the bad part, the bad part is you think you know everything.
You're pretty inexperienced in investment aren't you.
You'll be pretty hard pressed to get ANYONE regardless of your 'skills' to put together a deal to LOAN you the money to buy Microsoft.
Contrary to your theoretical little world, in the real world, people don't invest billions of dollars in random people just because they say 'I can run it better than the guy running it now' unless the guy running it now is utterly destroying it, in which case the value of the company drops considerably making it a more lucrative possibility and making the risk easier.
There is no chance in hell that you could gather enough money to buy Microsoft as it stands, even if Ballmer was still in charge. To 'buy' Microsoft you have to buy more than half of all shares in existence, public, private, restricted or whatever. Even the slightest hint that someone was trying to do that would drive the stock price through the roof. If you started buying the stock... again, price is going to go through the roof. So yes, your ability to buy Microsoft has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE STOCK PRICE BEING TOO HIGH FOR YOU TO AFFORD IT. This is basic 3rd grade economics. You have $10, You need $1,000,000,000,000. Regardless of what fantasy you live in, you aren't going to buy the product with that many zeros difference.
In the real world, people aren't as silly as you seem to be used to in your little fantasy world.
Are you guys changing the name to Bennett Haselton's blog of Ignorance? It seems you've already changed the content you post to at least one Haselton post a week, and he's a fucking moron.
Since I've already asked how much it costs to get regular front page posting like he does, let me try this a different way:
Who do I have to blow to get such front page posts all the time?
Or are you guys letting him post this crap to the front page because he lets you blow him?
The x86-2 mode you are looking for is 64 bit mode. It pretty much resolves the painful problems with x86, all your left with that's 'bad' are some obnoxious to use opcodes... That only compiler authors and asm programmers have to deal with.
At that level, those op codes don't even really bother them compared to the more detailed bits of asm.
The Occupy movement failed because it was a bunch of 1%er's in their Northface jackets and backpacks whining like they have any fucking clue what hard work is.
They were a joke. A bunch of kids in search of a cause, and they did way more harm to working people than good. Hypocrites at best, spoiled brats for most of them, nothing more.

Not much of the need, the FAA will smash this ignorance fairly quickly.
You fire it, we'll watch you blow your own hands off. Its held together with painters tape for fucks sake, right there in the picture.
Just because you make something the right shape doesn't mean you've met the material properties required for that job.
Lego makes software that will then give you the option to order the bricks to build it, or go with the BOM to a Lego store and pick up the pieces.
Kickstarter pledges are gifts.

Contrary to your tiny minded view of the world, not everyone at the NSA is the same.
Its amazing how you can't distinguish between an organization and the people in it.

You may be in your 40s, but when you start the 'its is what you make it' we just hear something from another pretentious yuppie.
You probably should try growing up a bit yourself.
Ironically, lets count the number of times recently that we've had to save your ass from obliteration at the hands of your own neighbors?
When PID1 crashes, so does your box.
Then your kernel is broken.
