  Morally Arrogant

  on Former NSA Boss Hayden Says Snowden Likely To Become An Alcoholic Because He's 'Troubled' And 'Morally Arrogant'

  Re: SIDEWAYS, as usual. Definitely not right, not exactly wrong.

  on The NSA Has No Solution For The Real 'Snowden Problem' And It's Only Going To Get Worse

  I agree that it's NOT generational. As someone raised in the 60's, it's disappointing to see so many young people without a sense of self-empowerment. Also, as someone who spent their career in a tech-company, meritocracy always trumps loyalty and that's a good thing. You want loyalty, get yourself a good border-collie.

  What's ink?

  on Lexmark, HP Using Patent Law To Try To Block Replacement Ink Cartridges From The Market

  Pretty much all my output goes to my PC, Tablet or Smartphone.
