I'm usually happy to beat up on conspiracy theorists, I actually sort of hate them. However this guy took down a General.

This is unbearable. For one thing this same story was at the top yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5967695
And more importantly it's painful listening to a bunch of computer programmers spout off about politics and world events. I value 4Chan's analysis of current events more than Hacker News' and that's not even a joke. There are very few things more irritating than a spoiled rotten 20 year old's explanation of how the world works.
Please you guys, stick to talking about javascript. You're ruining this site.

First: what does this have to do with technology? Second: damn right Germany shouldn't trust us, because the world doesn't trust Germany and hopefully it never will. It doesn't bother me in the least that we're keeping an eye on them, I'd be nervous if we weren't.

What are the chances of getting a standard battery size in these things? I'd be a shame for stations to need a hundred different batteries for every make and model.

These slides? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/06/07/t...;
They look like they were made with MS Paint. CNET and James Clapper says this is all bullshit.
Maybe we should stop drawing conclusions about a story that is developing and extremely foggy until it clears up a little more?

Well done guys! Quite an achievement turning a site for so-called smart people into one dumber than the Drudge Report in only two days.

CNET is claiming the Washington Post & Guardian stories were wrong and the whole thing was based off a leaked Powerpoint document. James Clapper said the stories contained numerous inaccuracies but didn't specify. This whole thing is hilarious, especially HN's reaction.

Techcrunch knows nothing, if this is really going on it will be confirmed by someone within one of the companies forced to implement it within days. As of now I doubt that it is, I think the Washington Post got it wrong. Does anybody think Google and Apple would bend over for the federal government because of some semi-legal secret court order? Give me a break.

And no matter how smart the crowd here is when it comes to technology, discussing history or politics here is like talking to children. Many of the comments around here today sound like they came from the Drudge Report. It's embarrassing.
