   What is not published, and never will be, is how many real terrorist threats or sleeper cells have been taken out because of PRISM intelligence gathering? All the public are wanting to see is "USA IS SPYING ON ME" however I will s

   I firsthandedly had dealings with Kimdotcom and I hope he gets everything he deserves. He is pondscum. Was partly my own fault (for being naive) however he still broke his word!

   What if they stole 1 dollar from everyone who's online banking passes through the US? That would be roughly $188m in one day...

   Yeah, just the "Forced Encryption". First layer, just to stop my ISP flagging me straight away. I don't use a VPN, I probably should use a Seedbox or something, not in my name and paid for in cash, but I don't do it ofte

   The only thing about HN I dislike is how quickly it times out before you have to refresh!

   If you live in the US then it won't matter. The whole point is they copy all data that passes from the US to any other continent. It would not suprise me if the PRISM system had something to do with the Megaupload takedown.

   Tracert it and see if any servers are seperated between continents, and you get your answer.

    I help people who are new to computers or non-computer-savvy build their own PC's from components to save them getting shafted by companies that sell PC's wholly.

    I really like the concept of PC, however what puts me off ever so slightly is the use of a .co.uk domain whilst all the currency is USD, surely either a .com or £GBP would make it more uniform?

    Why do you need CS fundamentals if you are applying for a role which suits your background?

    I actually only zoom on HN, if I want to sit back with my feet up at my desktop I can do so. Don't be lazy and just think people won't. I was on a website the other day where the shopping cart, category and price filters all disappeared com

    Concentrate on advertisments for monetizing it rather than Premium membership. Plenty of Fish recently set their site so you cannot search for an "intimate encounter" unless you pay for Premium, as a result a lot of its userbase moved on.

    Do you think you would fare well at designing and coding app's for the iPhone or Android? It would be a shame to waste your skill, but you could put it to good use and make some $$$ at the same time, at your own pace?

    I am in the UK and pay more than that for 4mbit down and 1mbit up. Dont really need anymore if I am totally honest, except for downloading distros.
