Comment Re:The government has to destroy the drives (Score 0) 508

But the police did not seize the hard drives but simply ordered them destroyed. Did the Gestapo check to see if this was Snowden's computer? The absurdity of this is barely comprehensible. The next step will be to shoot the reporters to present the spread of this information unless the Limeys have developed a neuralyzer. tiocfaidh ár lá

Comment Another abuse by the feds. (Score 1) 274

What! He used a computer to commit a crime and didn't get the death penalty? Seriously, a year in prison is gross overkill for this stunt. A hefty fine would be much more appropriate assuming that he only rigged a meaningless election. The feds have much more important things to do like run guns across the border, spy on citizens and close down marijuana dispensaries. . tiocfaidh ár lá

Comment Re:US doesn't know how to handle terrorism. (Score -1, Troll) 335

Please note that the British did far more than take land from the Irish. The have basically been committing genocide against the Irish for nearly a 1000 years. Even recently, they have been working with the criminal orange order to Kill Irish nationalists so whatever problems the Irish might be for the British, it is only a minuscule payback. BTW, my support for Irish nationalists has landed me on the no-fly list so I don't worry about the silly TSA rules. Tiocfaidh ár lá

Actually, they were 512X512 displays. I was in the development group that produced them. The memory feature seemed fantastic at the time since computer memory was core but of course dynamic ram soon eliminated that advantage and the displays would also burn-in. It seems that burn-in still exists. :-(

Be glad that you are not a supporter of Irish nationalism. The Brits can take us any time they want and US courts can't intervene. We all know what a bunch of butchers the Brits have been throughout history. They are just as bad as the Nazis but much less efficient. Oh, and don't try to get on an airplane. Lets rearm the IRA and have them take the miserable bloodsucking limeys!!! But as they say in Ireland, Tiocfaidh ar la!
