Jail them all, I say. I will not abide people that place this nation's security at risk, in order to prove some abstract nihilistic point. Information wants to be free!

remember the world bank guy who used the word "niggardly" in congressional testimony, and got fired for it? it means "stingy" but you can see how it would raise people's eyebrows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggardly

my rig has 360 degree horizontal / 180 degree vertical, no bezels, retina display. it's called LIFE. high fps!

i tell you this: for those of us in the knowledge industry, grammar separates the men from the boys.
