Arranged marriage: worked for me. But failed for a lot more
I guess it matters who's doing the arranging. One of the happiest couples I know were an arranged marriage, but the parents who did the arranging were some extraordinary people with great sensitivity, understanding of their young people and remarkable wit.
I shudder to think who my mom would have arranged me with. Certainly not with the woman I've been married to for 27 years, that's for sure. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, but she didn't know what I like in women. And my wife's parents certainly would never have chosen me.
I had one of the Sony "tummy buster" portable TVs when I was a young'n. Used to watch White Sox games in bed on school nights.
Carbon HDMI cable
A steal at $144.75.
But then this is for people that buy those Monster HDMI, Ethernet and other digital signaling cables.
Don't you dare make fun of my $120 cable elevators.
How did you go about that? It sounds like EVP for chips?
With the knowledge we now have about the level and expertise of the NSA / CIA et al to access most so-called "secure drop boxes", why would any sane person use such a "drop box"?
Unless you believe the ongoing Snowden revelations are part of an elaborate false flag operation, there are still precautions that can be taken to get the information out.
The question is, does selling secrets via bitcoin make us more secure or less secure, as opposed to giving those secrets away, especially through a selected group of trusted journalists, like Bart Gellman, Laura Poitras, etc? You let the journalists make decisions regarding whether information therein put anyone's life in danger, and you build in redundancy by using more than one journalist at more than one news organization.
You've gotta admit, the system Snowden and Poitras et al designed to get that information public was pretty elegant. Especially in an age of ubiquitous surveillance and endangerment to whistleblowers.
As I said, if you're responsibly leaking stolen secrets, you're a hero. If you're selling stolen information, you're a scumbag. The profit motive makes all the difference in the world, and completely poisons the well when it's the whistleblower making the profit.
The fact is, sites like this and Wikileaks are no longer useful for this sort of thing.
When every major news organization has its own secure drop box, there's less of a need. But there is still a need for an anonymous place for whistleblowers to share leaks with the world. Fortunately, there will be lots of those.
whistleblowers aren't criminals, deviants, seditionists, terrorists, or perverted sex fiends.
Correct. You just described the people who will be using Darkleaks.
Whistleblowers [wikipedia.org] disclose wrong-doing / misconduct, not profit them (a la blackmail or extortion).
Exactly. If you're selling stolen information you're not a hero, you're not a freedom-fighter and you're not a cool folk hero. You are a scumbag.
Both.
I'm willing to bet a significant percentage of the videos shared with this new app will include penises.
Who lied about winning a Nobel Prize?
Appearing in court with the lawyer for the patent troll was his wife, Morgan Fairchild.

No, but I can guarantee fast delivery.
