It's quite sickening that someone who rants about others refusing to use "relatively correct" English hasn't bothered to learn even such basics as the difference between "whose" and "who's."

Take your argument of freedom of manufacture to its logical conclusion: several decades from now these technologies allow literally anyone to "print" a biological agent that's more infectious than influenza and deadlier than rabies, with high mutation rates that makes countermeasures difficult to develop, yet designed to preserve it's virulence and deadlines, and with sufficiently long incubation time that by the time it's noticed, it's too late. Or, give it some more time, and anyone can "print" a world-consuming nanotechnological grey goo. Suggesting technological defenses are feasible is a naive failure to recognize a fundamental asymmetry: destruction is far easier than creation, and chaos is thermodynamically favorable. There are only three options for the long term: humanity is destroyed, access to advanced technology is severely limited but for our overlords, or it's allowed but privacy is dead — absolutely — with constant ubiquitous automated monitoring everywhere and of everything. Pick one.

You got me.

I didn't read any Hamilton as I was into science fiction, not space opera.

On the other hand, I'm not an AC, yet I have the same assessment of CaptainDork's post history. His verbal diarrhea flows prolifically and has graced enough /. discussions that a regular reader won't need to reference his post history to get the whiff of authoritarian stench every time his name pops up once again in one's field of view.

Standing is addressed in TFA: "The 2013 mass surveillance disclosures included a slide from a classified NSA presentation that made explicit reference to Wikipedia, using our global trademark. Because these disclosures revealed that the government specifically targeted Wikipedia and its users, we believe we have more than sufficient evidence to establish standing."

The process to detect this compromise not only exists, but can be automated. http://www.dwheeler.com/trusti...

Since, according do your statement, they succeed in leaving the country, it's kind of hard to shoot them afterwards. On the other hand, they sure did shoot people who tried to leave the country.

I see your Ken Thompson and I raise you a David Wheeler http://www.dwheeler.com/trusti...

Too bad memory erasure tech is still too immature to remove memories of his dastardly works and the time I wasted reading them from my brain. Talk about unoriginal plots and a million cliches in every story

The New Testament supersedes the Old Testament. Troll better next time.

Good to see a decent post in a deluge of trolls trolling trolls under a troll article posted by Dice Co. shill er I mean Nerval's Lobster.

But you won't, apparently, know how to write "really quick".

Is this a joke? That is a Unix principle, not a Linux principle — for what violates it more than the monolithic Linux kernel?
