Knight to queen's bishop 3 - Snowden charged with espionage.

^Really! Can you believe it?
Amazing how brave these people are to speak out - once everybody else has.
Sad truth is that virtually none of these industry leading lights much cared until it started becoming obvious that the current state of affairs was going to hurt their business in the long run.
If "voluntary cooperation" could have been made to pay off, they'd still be as silent as clams. Just like they pretty much were up until a month or two ago.

+1 on the high 5 - Holy Shit! That's Funny (and true)!

Sadly if the US government wasn't wasting so much time peeking in our backyards and panty drawers, they'd of had time to grab a few shots of the rest of the planet and we'd know where that Malaysian plane went.
News flash for the NSA: The plane isn't on friggin FaceBook ... So zip up your flies, go out side, and do some real work for a change.

Yeah. It's much like the one thing about SETI that always made me laugh...
It gets no government funding because it's been called a waste of time and resources. But IF SETI ever did detect a signal that was clearly and provably from some extraterrestrial source, the feds and their military would be in there in a heartbeat, grabbing files, seizing facilities, shutting down networks, slapping DoD and NSA classification stickers on everything in sight, "debriefing" (i.e. threatening) every SETI researcher and employee they could put a finger on to keep their mouths shut...
The day SETI succeeds is the day SETI (as a public science project) will cease to exist.
But that's ok. Because it's for our "protection." :-\

Yes, but at least we'll know that when SETI shuts down...The Invasion is only months away ... So we get a little something out of that deal.
P.S. ^That^ is why I suck at being an optimist. ;)
