I kinda thought that was the point from the beginning. I'm kind of surprised that almost 20 years later people are finally starting to get the point of the film. I loved it when I saw it in the theater, and I bought it on VHS, and then later on DVD. It's a great film. Sure, it's cheesy as hell, but still, the message is good. You just gotta read between the lines.

I'm not sure why we should praise a New Zealand pop singer. I'm also not so sure that the "thou shalt not kill" thing applies to pixels. I'm pretty sure that God would have said something like "thou shalt not use algorithms to effect the deletion of pixels through the interaction of a user interface".

And also why we have such a thing as "negligence". They apparently were negligent; either in their maintenance protocols, equipment checks, or, well, making sure that contaminated waste is securely and safely managed. I would say that that warrants a criminal charge, but that's just my opinion.

Nope, no abuse to be found.

The link above details how the NSA fed information to the DEA, and if and when there was a court trial resulting from that information, the DEA manufactured a source for the information so that they never had to admit that they got it from the NSA. The DEA called the process of disguising sources "parallel construction". To quote Reuters from the article:

This is an abuse of the legal system, pure and simple. When you're hiding information from the defense, and potentially the judge and prosecution, you've broken the trial system.

We are seeing abuse, Mr. President.

You probably have already committed at least one felony today, and you probably weren't even aware of it. Our laws are so complex, and many of them so outdated, that it is nearly impossible to go about your daily life, upstanding citizen or not, without breaking at least one law.

The reason why you shouldn't talk to the police isn't because "you haven't done anything wrong", it's because you don't know whether or not you've done anything wrong. If the police are not, and never have been, on your side; it is their job to find people who have broken the law, and any communication with law enforcement will be used to forward that goal.

I'm not sure a pizza delivery guy would be able to afford Google Glass.

We need to scrap (or at least greatly reduce) the whole H1-B visa program. Corporations are using it to exploit foreign workers and keep local wages artificially low. When is Congress going to step up and do something for the American workforce?

Oh, yeah, that's right. It's the same corporations that fund their election and re-election campaigns that are committing the abuse.

Social engineering is social engineering. Penetrating a security system is penetrating a security system.

Damnit. s/or/on/.

I'm not sure luck and government support == not a hacker. Hacks can rely (and succeed) or luck. Hacks can rely on incompetence (social engineering relies on the incompetence of others). And I'm not so sure that being paid by a government means that someone is not a hacker.

You're half right. Criminals can be hackers, and hackers can be criminals. They aren't mutually exclusive.

How is this racist?

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad.

You're right. And those people make up a very small percentage of the 350,000,000 people we have here in the US.

I don't want to call you racist, but you're making it very hard to not come to that conclusion.
