I realize it could put certain individuals in harms way (hopefully any such names were redacted before the dump), but I hope Wikileaks keep this up. There's far too much secrecy going on around the world. It's all one big self-fulfilling prophecy in which nobody trusts each other and everybody is forced to keep a gun under the table. Anyone that is angry about this for nationalistic reason is a tool. Of course, these leaks could be baloney psy-ops, which is real a possibility. That's a scary scenario and in the complete opposite direction of what it's presenting itself as.

These book reviews are consistently the most useless things posted here. I hope Slashdot is getting a decent chunk of change for it at least.

That's not very imaginative. The horizontal screen could show a keyboard in default position when untouched, but when it detected palms down first it could automatically reorient.

Too big to fail... I think that's a load of BS. Businesses come and go. We're supposed to be a mobile workforce. It's not the end of the world to have to find a new job (unless unemployment keeps getting stomped on). If BP has been meeting some level of demand and then suddenly went away, wouldn't that would create new jobs elsewhere as new and existing entities try to fill the demand gap?

Exactly. We in the other half spent 8 years saying the same about Bush. It's like the whole thing is rigged to flip-flop every 8-12 years, just enough to keep each side in fighting spirits and everyone distracted away from that top 1-2%.

Well he holds up the test-bank questions early in the video, saying a student anonymously dropped it in his mailbox. That seems like plenty proof enough the results are tainted.

So you think this is about you (the end-user)? This is about corporations capturing the internet and creating monopolies. The haves are always hard at work stifling any avenues of upward mobility. It's still relatively easy for a group of nobodies to create the next internet sensation. That's no good.

We're in debt because taxes have been cut far too drastically over the last couple decades. Wealthy people have been buying their way into office, cutting taxes and then acting all surprised when there's not enough money to pay for even the most basic public services. Their solution, of course? Cut services. Fuck the tired and poor - we got ours. High taxes made the U.S. what it is (social security, interstates, medicare, space ships).

Yeah, really. So very disingeuous.

The only thing eating other animals accomplishes in a civilization like ours is personal pleasure. It hasn't been a necessity for a very long time. Choosing meat for your meals is just as psychotic as slitting the throat of another animal for fun.

How about stop eating chickens? I doubt many here would kill a live chicken for fun, yet they'll happily choose to eat a chicken sandwich simply because they think it tastes better than the alternative. It certainly can't be for health reasons. This story and Tyson are fucking sick.

Hey, at least he's not trying to sell anything. This is a step up from the usual slashvertisement/slashnouncement 'stories'. Anyway, I thought building on top of other people's work was still a good thing around here.

Yeah, but at least the 'authorities' were the ones getting rebuffed in the end. I think it was worth it for that, even if it wasn't the intention.

They would put an end to recording devices in public just to win one stupid case against a kid on a bike. And what about that redneck cop that bursts out with a gun and no identification? I hope he gets canned? No mention.

LSD does not belong in your list as an alternate addiction. It's not. However if you're actually taking a manly dosage, computer screens are rendered absolutely unusable, so I guess it could be somewhat of a valid argument in that sense.
