There's no clash. The law is perfectly clear on that subject. Only the government is choosing to ignore it.

Good thing federal law is not enforceable in places like say, Panama. Unless the US wants to invade again...

I hear "Hello World!" works quite well, in the language of your choice since you're going to have to explain it to him.

Everyone knows that real pros use the _strrev function...

That's the day I predict that a lot of things are going to start being sold in oranges, tomatoes and chickens.

they're also the country least successful in preventing the sexual exploitation of children.

You'd have to be delusional to believe this. The UK is a developed nation with an operational police force. That alone is enough to put it miles ahead of some countries.

I think that soon every note I come across will be exposed to a generous amount of static electricity from my taser before I use it or take it anywhere...

You're missing the point. The apple watch has to be recharged every few days. A normal quartz watch can go 5 years or more on a battery.

And when the battery runs out?

I think the only thing the OpenSSL bug shows is how flimsy the underlying framework of the internet is. Most of the shit we all use, trust and take for granted was coded in someone's basement over the weekend a long time ago. All it takes is one clever guys to take a good look at the code to exploit it, and it's probably fair to say he'll be the only one to review the code ever...

It pays better to exploit the bugs...

As in, this is exactly what the lake exists for. A reservoir of sorts for slurry and other runoff from industrial processes is common the WORLD OVER.

The DHS, which has never caught a "terrorist" ever. At least before the fact. When passengers caught one after the fact (the "underwear bomber") and handed him over to the DHS, they claimed that "the system worked". It used to be that apologists could claim that there had been no terrorist attacks on the US since 9-11 and use that to support an argument that the DHS was a good thing. Well it's 2015, and there have been a few successful attacks now...

They do it because they can. It's as simple as that.
