The next test for guilt in "hackers" might be that they float

- What makes you think she's a witch?
- She turned me into a newt!
- A newt?
- I got better.
- Burn her anyway!
- Quiet! Quiet!
- There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
- Are there? What are they? Tell us. - Do they hurt?
- Tell me, what do you do with witches?
- Burn them!
- And what do you burn, apart from witches?
- More witches! - Wood!
- So why do witches burn?
- 'Cause they're made of wood? - Good!
- So, how do we tell if she is made of wood?
- Build a bridge out of her.
- Ah, but can you not also make bridges out of stone?
- Oh, yeah.
- Does wood sink in water?
- No, it floats. - Throw her into the pond!
- What also floats in water?
- Bread. - Apples.
- Very small rocks. - Cider! Great gravy.
- Cherries. Mud. - Churches! Churches!
- Lead! Lead!

Members of the FCC,

Individuals granted the power to rule over such a critical technology, during such a critical time in the development of our species. Create a respectable legacy.

Regarding moving forward with regulations to maintain an ‘Open Internet’, it is critical that ISPs are re-classified as Title ll public utility providers, so that both consumers and innovators are guaranteed fair opportunity in the foreseeable future, and ISPs are prevented from gradually creating an innovation crushing, tiered network over the next few decades. Use the power you have now to create a lasting change, for if the regulation is weak in its foundation, with time it will collapse under the force of the corrupt interest of multi-billion dollars companies’ lobbying efforts.

Thank You,

I don't think it can be said better than this. Damn, that's good.

Yes. Modding your posts down isn't going to help. As others have already suggested, get help. Take your meds. Dive down a flight of stairs. Whatever it takes for you to stop ruining everyone's time.

The American government respects money. If the NSA spying scandal costs American companies money they will make sure the government fixes the problem. If you want this spying problem fixed, find a way to ensure large American corporations lose money over it.

They will lose money if the injustices are not forgotten, so that trust in them cannot be restored.

I am just laughing why people are getting so upset at this point in game. Your privacy and mine as well, is no more than a joke.

Silence is seen as compliance. They want us to shrug it off and forget about it and tell others to do the same. The opposition needs to be loud and withstand time. Maybe it will motivate some to do something constructive with their anger. Like donating to the EFF. Or maybe start a new company that provides open hardware and software on their routers. That would be something. Privacy like security isn't on or off. You can make it better.
