Point well taken. Imagining Edward Snowden as my playful pathetic little brachiocephalic puppy dog stinking up his pew and being swatted on the nose with NEWSPAPER just made me giggle. I'll keep my GAS-lighting jokes to myself. Especially when it comes to LEAKING sensitive material...

Without any science behind it or having first hand access to the source for the tools used to identify such words/phrases/idioms you're just amateurishly putting lipstick on a pig.

Its a racist idiot's idea of a joke.

That's steganography not cryptography and generally considered to be the red-headed bastard step child of actual intelligence work. Don't be ridiculous.

Its some 4chan racist idiot's idea of a red herring.

I mean, selling NSA tools on the black market in broken english is about as far from government whistleblowing as I can stretch my imagination.

Absurdum is right.

This article falsely equates selling NSA tools on the black market with government whistleblowing.

Let's not get on a high horse about rhetoric in the comments?

Now I'm picturing martian sex tourism. Thanks.

More like being a UN human rights peace keeper.

What is this Amy Bouzaglo's kitchen?

How about stating that the CIA will, despite being a civilian organization, adopt the oath of the UCMJ. The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) 809.ART.90 (20), makes it clear that personnel need to obey the “lawful command of his superior officer,” 891.ART.91 (2), the “lawful order of a warrant officer”, 892.ART.92 (1) the “lawful general order”, 892.ART.92 (2) “lawful order”. In each case, personnel have an obligation and a duty to only obey Lawful orders and indeed have an obligation to disobey Unlawful orders, including orders by the president that do not comply with the UCMJ. The moral and legal obligation is to the U.S. Constitution and not to those who would issue unlawful orders, especially if those orders are in direct violation of the Constitution and the UCMJ.

I don't know why you got down voted. You're absolutely right. Most everyone will tell you, "Its about maxing total compensation as much as you can to boost your overall earnings!"

Good luck with burning out at 35 with no passive income streams. I'd rather build equity, and even have a couple of rental properties from being a top 10% earner in a smaller area. That's a million dollar piggy bank being filled by someone else AND a passive income stream on which to retire.

I think I got the gist of OP's comment... Computer programmers make higher than the average salary. If you're barely making ends meet as a programmer your significant other is probably NOT making ends meet. Living together and sharing expenses saves some money but you'll probably be just about back where you started once you're married and co-habitating with your spouse.

Then comes kids...
