> Michael Morell, a top C.I.A. official, called it “the most serious compromise of classified information in the history of the U.S. intelligence community”

Well, I'm sure if they had respected our right to privacy, Snowden would have respected theirs.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/government-elections...

Excerpt from that page:

2007 — A Promise on the Road to the White House By 2007, Obama is campaigning for the White House and making government transparency a central part of his platform. He tells an audience in Washington that the Bush administration “puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide.”

As president, Obama says, he will provide U.S. intelligence agencies the tools they need to defeat terrorists without undermining the Constitution. “That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime … No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient.”

I really don't think this is a better experience than Netflix or pay-per-view on my tv. The only thing that is better is that I don't have to pay for it. The movies actually take a lot longer to load on this.

A lot of people who run Wordpress have clients who need a nice, easy user interface to be able to update their site. Do you have any suggestions for software that fulfills that need and is "secure, not bloated and easier to develop with".

One thing that scares me about meteor is performance and scalability. I'm afraid that if I build an app that takes off, I won't be able to afford the servers to keep the app running.

I'm tired? I don't understand this. It's like climbing a mountain and then closing your eyes. Of course you are tired from all the hard work, but now is the fun part. Relax and enjoy the view. I guess the view for this developer is selling the product.
