   What kind of assurances would you like from the NSA? How can the NSA prove to you that the systems aren't being abused? I agree that it's an important conversation we should be having. However, I still don't think Snowden&#x2

   I'm not making that assumption. Snowden makes claims that are unsupported by the actual documents. Those claims have been contradicted by Google and Obama. I'm saying that it's possible that Snowden's unsubstantiated cla

   Just curious. Is your roommate a programmer? If so, has he tried applying for freelance jobs? I would think that if he has eight years of industry experience, he could probably pick up an in demand skill like Rails and get freelance work.

    I feel like this approach might get boring after a couple of languages. I think most people here could skim through the language intro, and then just start working on a new project in that language (picking up more of the language as they g
