    The Register[^]:

    "We all had this special right to code the world as we saw fit," said Schneier. "My guess is we're going to lose that right, because it's too dangerous to give to a bunch of techies."

    If they outlaw code, only outlaws will code?

          Ask John Simmons... he has been doing this for a while now

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            That's good. I listen to a pod where one guy is named Outlaw so atleast he will be allowed to continue then.

              It beats me how so many people can make so many grand statements without having a clue what they're talking about. Will the FBI be touring Europe and Asia, to slap handcuffs on open-source coders? The "open" in open-source means "open", for God's sake -- open to anyone, anywhere. Whatta maroon.

              I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                I think he makes a good point, and I don't think that an action like shutting down GitHub because of national security concerns and the overreaching powers of the HSA is outside the realm of possibility. Marc
