I tried searching for the charges that the US brought against Snowden and then the penalty for those charges. According to Yahoo[1] (which isn't a great source but it is the best I could find in the short time I have), the charges brou

What is ridiculous is that the YouTube rant and obstruction of justice could get 40 years yet if he committed murder in a Federal jurisdiction (and thus being charged by the Feds and not state level) there would be a chance he'd get 15

And the story that driverdan linked to is 2 years old as well. This may be a re-hashing of a 2 year old story by On The Media, but at least it is original content. The point isn't that the story is old, the point is that there was more

There was very little content in this article. I expected at least some insight, there isn't any info provided on the keywords that were used. I guess I should learn not to trust articles like this since if they give away their secrets

As somebody who makes a living writing code that integrates with an IBM product in the BI space, I absolutely love IBM. They gobble up companies to increase their portfolio and do little to improve them but end up crapping it up. It leaves

But the current system, with all of the "security" it provides, already has a handful of really really bad people that commit crimes. So why should I give up freedoms to try and stop these bad people when despite everything, crime

While I haven't truly thought about it much, I guess my definition of serious would coincide with what government calls a felony. "What about fraud? Not paying taxes?" Maybe I'm just naive but I don't think the aver

But just voting to vote is useless. People seem to have the mentality that you pick the lesser of two evils, which is BS. I'm not going to vote for somebody if I don't feel like they are completely up for the job. I'm not goi
