The organization previously used these exploits against Americans.
Now another organization is using them against Americans.
It's way past time for both of these to change.

You fail to understand that you can't have it both ways. If someone has the ability, criminals will eventually have the ability. So now it turns out, instead of preventing criminals from acquiring the ability you don't want them to have, you provided it to them. This isn't about giggling like children or whatever. This is about a fundamental necessity to shift the thinking of those in charge of these kinds of exploits.

Didn't you read the stub?
It was created by "a group of hardcore gamers."

I have asthma and burn wood.
If wood burners bother you so much do what I did when I was a kid... live in a plastic air tent.

You have a 4000 sq ft home and you like a temp delta of 40+ degrees. Well, congrats to you on having a super-efficient system. A shining example to us all.

Just find someone who is addicted to single-player turn-based strategy computer games. They'd complain about the trip being too short.
Like ... my friend, not me.

Says the Anonymous Coward.
No, the privacy "nuts" are up in arms about someone having every email conversation you have had being tracked and read for zero reason.
If you would like the NSA to read all of your email, bind a BCC rule for admin@nsa.gov to all your outgoing.

Maybe he doesn't want to be water-boarded?

You have to be kidding.
Yeah, he wasn't whistle blowing. He's in cahoots with the bad guys!

Just a couple things though, couldn't he have just quietly fed China/Russia et. al. information and have them disseminate it for him or just keep it all for themselves?
Couldn't he have just made these docs public while hiding the fact that he was the source?
Name five countries that would have been acceptable landing spots for him, which would not have immediately turned him over to the U.S. government.

Trying to besmirch the character and ideals of someone whose excrement has more appeal than the collective U.S. intelligence agencies is a waste of breath.

Is this reply comment blinking?

My grandfather was Jackson Pollock, so I own 25% of my genes due to prior art.

Cliff says it's okay to not buy DLC from companies you think are trying to screw you over, but I guess you're not allowed talk about it? And also while you're at it, please don't talk about companies you like either. It's just bad form, I suppose.

So since, as a game developer, he isn't happy with the current model: "more talking" and "less spending money", but he isn't advocating "more talking" and also "more spending money." Instead, what he wants is "less talking" and "less spending money."

Because of this, I can only assume that the "more talking" is the part impacting the business in a meaningful way.

Yeah, the writing is terrible, but you should also see the decline in art and music skills!

Most of the techies in my class can't even pick a decent blog theme, never mind compose one from scratch. They have zero sense for color matching and use of white space.

And musically, they're a bunch of absolute no-hopers. The .mp3 lists they put in their audio widgets seldom include any quality classical pieces.
