whats the big whoop? i got a pack of them for like $5. the protector itself is scratched up a bit from being in the pocket with my keys. one could argue that the gorilla glass wouldn't get scratched up like this, but whatever... at any time i can switch out my screen protector no problem. also, doesn't affect usage at all, you wouldn't notice.

I think it's pretty clear what happened here... goog joined prism as part of some quid pro quo...so they get stuff like this. problem is, m$ also joined for quid pro qou, so they get a heads up. it's like avp - whoever wins, we lose.

danger will robinson! common sense statments on /. Flame on!

I think you're a retard. call me ad hominem if you like, but I don't think you will, because you're retarded and don't know that word.

this makes no sense. how can both guys act in self defense? "I was robbing this guy, and he took a swing at me, so in self defense I shot him."--criminal. "oh, ok"--florida. zimmerman provoked the incident and should be held responsible for the outcome.

yup, it sounds to me like trayvon was acting in self defense by "standing your ground" against a threatening person who was stalking and confronting him. probably with weapon drawn. we'll never know the trooth, because the victim is dead and can't testify in his own murder. the only person who knows what happens in those final moments is the murderor. we do know that police told him to stay in his car and he decided to confront trayvon instead. this action lead to the death of a kid carrying skittles. open/shut.

All those errors in chapter one! Me thinks no thanx. Those sort of errors confound me the most, because I try to reconcile what I'm reading iwth my own understanding of the language, and I get a "does not compute" and smoke comes out my ears.

I would try to get a horizon shot, with both moons in the frame. And do another selfie like that pic last year. That was awesome!

i stand for order and justice. without order there can be no peace.

god, I can't stand it when words come out of your mouth. i'm glad you have a new man crush - is he single? speaking of snowden, he's a total joke. just some kid running scared to anybody that will pretend to shelter him. china? NK? russia? doesn't matter, because this whole thing was about personal attention from square one, not about human rights. ideally wherever he goes he'll still have internet access so he can do all sorts of skype interviews and tweet a bunch. "they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR INTERWEBZ!!!"

I remember during the last BART contract negotiations, workers were passing out flyers to riders. one of the flyers said "shouldn't bart workers have the right to own a home in the bay area?" fuck that shit. do you think I can afford a home in the bay area? I'm an engineer, and I make things for a living. I don't have a union that can hold a city hostage until I get my way and secure my right for $million home ownership.
,br>also, what a sight this is, jcr and noh8rz agree.

no, the right to demand $$$ and 30 hour weeks and piles of benefits for pushing buttons and driving a bus, when all the workers ON the bus are just trying go get to work so they can do real jobs. then you throw a fit like a baby to get even more benefits. Honestly, bus drivers get 4+ weeks of "sick pay" each year.

I love all this Snowden stuff... it's like a real life John LeCarre novel! Let me go get the popcorn...

nice straw man. I never said that. all I'm saying is that he should be prepared to take the heat for his actions, as Bitztream said above, instead of running to hide and yelling at the US for trying to catch him.

I think it was OK to relase the prism stuff because it was unconstitutional, but there's no reason for teh europe or china stuff. it's not unconstitutional. i call that traitorous.
