Considering all that we've seen lately that the US gov't has been up to, how you can even attempt to suggest that you compare favourably to the EU is a mystery. Today's US is a parody of those "Land of the free, home of the brave" platitudes in your anthem. Ukraine is showing you how it's done, and Poland before them. "USA!!1!" What a pathetic joke.

What sonny?

I haven't heard a word about 4chan lately, so maybe it's become interesting and enlightening or something.

Looks like someone's found a hobby speaking for all of us. Good news everybody! We can all go home. It's handled. Yay deza${whatever}!!11! :-P

Fneh.

How you managed to pull off +4 Interesting for that, I can't imagine.

I can see soooooo(!) many things wrong with that statement, ...

NASA's "audience" is US taxpayers and Congress, just to start.

OT: Why does beta think I use noscript when I don't? I'll admit to ABP, however. I suggest /. get some neophytes who've never been to /. to try its commenting system, to see if they can figure out how to use it. I'll bet they (the neophytes) can't. Where's editing help and the Subject line box?

Pardon me. I was unaware that you're a moron. You could have just said, "Yeah, there really was no reason why I inserted that "clearly" other than to try to make myself look like I was a Great Writer." Instead, you lash out with the ubiquitous "Grammar Nazi" crap when cornered. I'll try not to bother you in the future, possibly upsetting that lovely apple cart you've built.

I don't think that word means what you think it means (if it's even a real word). From what I've read on the subject, it's more like, "Oopsie! We went a little too fast and didn't have all our ducks in a row. We'll iron out a few wrinkles first, then go live again soon. Sorry for any inconvenience this may've caused you."

Link please?

If it was clear, why did you need to clarify? As for the "Re-design", I feel so left out. I see nothing that's much changed from what I'm used to seeing. Do you need to be using a toy computer (cell phone) to be offended?

What a bunch of whiney babies! :-P

I'd only wish a false sense of well being on an enemy.

No, that's a trait common to many civilizations, nor is the US an exemplar of the practice.

Get real. Who are these mythical utterly naive people who were blissfully unaware prior to Snowden as to what the NSA was and did? I have an EFF T-shirt from about five years ago that was protesting it loudly.

Irrelevant. The press love him.
