You've been taught a myth in your high school science classes. They tell you that millions of years ago algae and small plants died, and decomposed into oils and coals. This is an evolutionist myth, because the world is only 6001 years old.
Oil actually comes from unnecessary human suffering, but because evil liberal evolutionists conspired to end slavery in the U.S., we had to outsource our oil production to the middle east.
I don't think that. I just don't care about the numbers anymore. Honestly, I mostly play PC games because there's a real breadth of experiences available there depending on my mood.
Sarcasm doesn't do well with the wall-of-text format. There's only so many words you can read in your mind's inner "sarcastic tone" before it just feels screechy.
Well, jury nullification still exists, but that wasn't an option for Manning. And lets be honest, with U.S. juries, it wouldn't happen for Snowden either.
Cynical. Very cynical. Not really wrong, but it misses subtlety. In this case we have a government with a heavy-handed response to an active resistance protest. It looks terrible, because it got a political activist arrested for what wasn't intended to do harm. It doesn't matter what others involved did, the blame rests with the DoJ for "cracking down" on a crime that was meant to do no harm.
If you are: A. In a technical field B. At all competent at your job Understanding basic kinds of metadata like tags, links, and keys is an incredibly basic part of your job.
Only in the vaguest sense? Manning was a soldier, Snowden a civilian. Manning leaked a huge swath of cables regardless of content. Snowden leaked details on a program he thought was abusive. The government involved is the same, but the "system" Snowden would face would be a standard civilian jury. Manning stood in front of a military tribunal without a jury of his peers.
Look, it only needs to work on 1% of the slashdot userbase for it to be an effective advertisement. Seeing as steve here appears to be a regular user, he is, in fact, the sucker.
Yep, it falls into the category of "X but on the internet" in this case: Powerpoint. Which was already on the internet. Provided by the single biggest website. For free.
Thankfully here is slashdot to hawk a book that hawks a no-name service to provide what we don't need, and really don't want.
To be fair, O'Conner acknowledged after the fact that even hearing the case was a constitutional mistake, and a mistake she made, along with the conservative justices.
I'd also like to point out, that by law, courts are directly involved in this NSA stuff, the courts in question are the FISA Courts. If you want to fix the court problems, you've got to fix the legislation that allows them to be broken.

Because, you know, your assumptions are obviously true without having any sort of data backing like the story.
Because you're stupid. If the baseline is high, dramatic increases will still show up as relatively small percentages.
Sorry for calling you stupid; I just couldn't find a better way to point this out.
I don't think that. I just don't care about the numbers anymore. Honestly, I mostly play PC games because there's a real breadth of experiences available there depending on my mood.
But remember, there's no sexism in the slashdot crowd.
I'll start caring about computing power on consoles again when we have ray-shaded games, I haven't cared about the shininess of games in years now.

Yep, you got me, I'm a DBA, totally not some other kind of tech-professional. You totally zeroed in there and guessed it.

Metadata isn't a buzzword. It's a basic feature of schema design.
If you are:
A. In a technical field
B. At all competent at your job
Understanding basic kinds of metadata like tags, links, and keys is an incredibly basic part of your job.

NSA wasn't Manning. NSA was Snowden. Manning released diplomatic cables to wikileaks.
Really??? Tagging is a mystery to you? Tags are an extremely common kind of metadata. This is a tech website that uses tags.

That's just the 90% of everything being crap plus half the remainder for your gender preference.
Shopping for a sourceforge alternative will suck Got any recommendations?
Only outlaws will have hackers, or something. It really doesn't work that way, but the protection of rich people's cars will only be temporary.

Sure, for escalating degrees of elitism, that is absolutely true.
Yes, no one is allowed to register their disinterest in anything ever. That only serves to demonstrate their interest, right?
Talking about who's who at large corporations, and the monetary details of their jobs. I get that it matters, it just bores the hell out of me.
