shaaaaawnon Obama threatens veto of CISPA bill

Can't we at least be happy he's in some way opposing this publicly?? Clearly if Congress gets its way this is fast-tracked no-questions-asked.

Actually, you're using a slippery slope argument and fueling it with a hitler reference.

Looking for best fit short term situation. Im highly skilled as far as corporate top talent goes (business & IT). My resume will speak to that (upon request).

Why I'm looking for work: • I need money - I poured my life savings into some R&D projects the past 18 months that I'm not quite done with.

shaaaaawnon Civil Disobedience

The greater purpose isn't to be disobedient or revolt against the system; it's progress-- or in Aaron's case to build a semantic web (3.0). We're so quick to credit him for web 2.0 without realizing that many rules had to be broken to get here. Books were scanned, CD's were ripped, the system was pissed. The web will always be disruptive to the past; progressing it is not easy nor always legal; but it is right.

This conversation is extremely shortsighted. Activism isn't about individual acts, it's about ==knowing== the end result is far too valuable f

shaaaaawnon Office 2013: Just what on earth has the Office team been doing?

Good article and agree that Microsoft has been awfully lazy about upgrading their bread and butter but i don't think Microsoft cares to appeal to the hacker / bleeding or even cutting edge community with Office. Office is meant for productivity; and despite the tablet sales figures, when you need to bang out 1000 word essay or make a pivot table you're doing it with a keyboard (maybe even a keyboard attached to a touch device)--anything else would be silly. Input by touch is not productive yet; once so, this is a valid discussion.

shaaaaawnon Bank of America Telephone Access Security Hole

So the worst case scenario that this maybe non-repeatable process might result in someone: 1) accessing more of your data and 2) maybe perform fraudulent transactions that will be detected and/or reported; investigated; and refunded. Uptown problems.
