I think it might be going a bit far to say that nobody starts out writing letters (because I did) but I do appreciate that a petition is a good first step at getting active. And please interpret my comments in the spirit in which they are i

Well, just as an example, I wrote a letter to my particular Senators and Representatives. I talked about my support for them during the past election and pointed to my contributions to their campaign. I also made a point to make my voice a

This petition wont change anything. We have REAL petitions every 2/4/6 years. It's called an election. You want change, that's how you get it.

So the reporter says there was an elephant in the room, but instead of an elephant, it was two donkeys. The reporter gets it wrong, but what about the two donkeys? What the hell are they doing in that room?

What I'm saying is that we have two reported cases of reporters getting hacked. We have the AP having their phone records pulled. You don't think there is a little there to be worried about? Do you think the Chinese have anything

Just because it doesn't look like the job of the most likely agency of the USG to do doesn't mean that it wasn't some other part of the USG that did it. The oversight and internal motivations of the USG (indeed, any gove

Depending on your carrier, SIMs weren't really used unless you were with AT&T or T-Mobile. The subsidized phone system here made switching out SIMs between phones kinda pointless so fewer people knew about them. Now, with LTE, tha

Brother, you're a fast learn and I'm impressed with you to no end. Keep up the good fight. There are some people who I would love to introduce you to who are also of the same mind. I wish there was an easy way to contact you so w

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. That was the best video for ANY computer topic I've ever seen. HILARIOUS. I'm going to be smiling the rest of the day.

He's actually improved over time. I saw him on a panel and he was rolled over by a MPAA/RIAA shill. I'm glad he's grown more confident and poised on screen.

So, David Simon (of The Wire/Treme fame) wrote this up: http://davidsimon.com/we-are-shocked-shocked/ I think he makes some good points.

Uh, I think you're confusing "ideals" with "lawful behavior". You can be a supporter of the EFF and believe that the work the NSA is doing is necessary and good for the country. I worked on Lawful Interception sy

And yet Israel has a policy of not confirming or denying they have a working weapon, although everyone knows they do.

This will NEVER happen. For one thing, it would be trivial for us to re-learn how to make one. The folks that had NEVER invented one did it in short order without computers and specialized equipment. They weren't even sure they'd be succe

Dude, I shop at Whole Foods every week. The point everyone was making was that good healthy food is available. It might not be the BULK of what's on sale. But it's certainly AVAILABLE. Here is a quote from you: "Not a single one of them h

I'm sorry....but I'm going to call B.S. on this one. Whole Foods doesn't have fresh food selection? Really? They don't have fresh chicken? They don't have any vegetables? Please kindly supply me with the address of such a place. When you

Cooking is easy. What stumps people is the prep work and cleanup. That's rooted in laziness. I worked in a kitchen for a bit and I learned how to cook meals the way that restaurants do: 1. Buy everything as fresh as possible. 2. Get your

Horses for courses. My point was that she set up breakfast to be a single uniform meal with no variation whatsoever. It was also a high carb meal which is certain to cause an insulin crash later in the day. I'd much rather see a higher fat

I sure hope no one is going to eat it either. Cooked oatmeal for breakfast 7 days a week? The author seems to be stuck in the mindset that certain foods are "breakfast" foods. I've had chicken breast and broccoli for breakfast. I've had

Whatever happened to "Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants." ? One of the things that worries me is the focus on cost as opposed to nutrition . As it stands, we have relatively poor ways of measuring the nutritive value of any partic

The case against Tom Drake was beyond the pale for me. Every circumstance surrounding that case was just horrid. You only need one Watergate to bring down a president.

I'm not sure if I agree with you about Benghazi. Brandon Webb and the guys over at SOFREP have been doing a fair bit of reporting on the subject. tl;dr: Benghazi was a colossal screwup and exposed how JSOC operations in the area put State

If I'm honest, I feel like Wikileaks started off as a good idea and somehow morphed into something else. Journalism is an enterprise that commands a great deal of power. With that power comes a great deal of responsibility. I don't think t

I supported Obama and worked for the campaign in 2008. I'm sad to see that this administration has been more aggressive in leak persecution than GWB. I don't think there is anything wrong in pursuing illegal leaks of classified informati

I don't know what you are talking about. That's about as close to apples and oranges as I can think. In order to have mass transit, you need to have the MASS part. Mass transit only works in areas with sufficient population density and

If I take a step back from this, I'd say it's bad strategy to bet against Elon Musk. IMHO, part of what makes his companies appealing is that he has a remarkable track record of keeping his head down and just getting sh!* done. I'm very i
