I'm sure that many here have deuteronamoly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuteranomaly#Anomalous_trichromacy (often ignorantly referred to as red-green color blindness) or other color vision deficiencies. What many don't realize, even some of those who have it, is that we are better at detecting people or objects that have been camouflaged due to a better ability to spot shapes, shades and movement. Is it better? Mostly not, from my personal experience. But it can come in handy in some very special situations.

Does anyone use it for anything else?

You should refuse to give statements to police and prosecutors. Your words will be twisted in order to convict you. They are much more interested in winning a case than finding the truth.

FOSS developers don't pay kickbacks. It's as simple as that.

Nobody forces you to get a security clearance and the process of getting one is intense. You don't get one by accident. Believe me, as a former holder of a TS/SCI clearance, the rules and the consequences of breaking them are crystal clear from the get go. BTW, an SCI (aka codeword) clearance gives you access to raw data that could indicate the source of the information. Leaking that is considered particularly heinous within the intelligence community, as it can endanger human and other sources.

So, you chose to jump through all the hoops to get your clearance, you agreed to keep national secrets, then you changed your mind somewhere along the line. Now you are blabbing and deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Life without the possibility of parole sounds good. Say hi to Bubba for me.

If you went in with the intention of spying, I have even less sympathy.

That is who slashdot chooses to defend? Probably not if it was Taco's stuff they were stealing but okay if it was someone else's.

Form a shell company with little to no assets and use them to fight the morons with little to no patent claim.

Like any catastrophic event, a chain of events leads up to a final point of failure. The straw that broke the camel's back, as it were (at most). Almost never does one factor result in the collapse of an entire system.

A jump seat at the front and rear of every plane occupied by a uniformed marshal with a clearly visible assault rifle would stop pretty much all of this nonsense.

and the eBay they rode in on. I wouldn't do business with either of those cock suckers.
