    It's not hard to recognize a troll and it has nothing to do with my views.
    Whatever, Miss Bolshevik.

    Edit: Okay, I edited my post for ya. I think the following illustrates what is going on with Russia and that Putin didn't accept Mr. Snowden out of the kindness of his heart.

    Americans have PRISM, and the Russians have SORM and PAK. — Phantom Report
    Russia’s Hypocrisy on Snowden | The Interpreter
    FSB Seeking to Expand Online Surveillance | News | The Moscow Times
    Skype, Gmail and Hotmail give encryption codes to Russian security services (FSB). [Archief] - Marokko Community

    Look up SORM. Educate yourselves.

    But, by all means, keep posting the daily neo-soviet drivel here ...

    Wrong, it was not for me. You have no clue what I need for myself.
    But thanks anyway!

    It must be "miss Bolshevichka" then.
    Большевик = Bolshevik (masc.)
    Большевичка = Bolshevichka (fem.)

    Everyone in Russia knows about SORM. That's an open secret.
    But SORM just collects information and stores it encrypted. If FSB finds out that a certain person is a terrorist or hacker, they use the information for the investigating, in court etc. It's not on-line service like in the US, when your home (or even life and health) may be ruined by police because you were searching something "dangerous" in Google.

    Большевик и большевичка пишутся с маленькой буквы.
    Если бы они проверяли всё компьютеры, то смогли бы предупредить многие массовые убийства. К сожалению, они с этим не справляются. Хотя, может, что-то и предупреждают.


    "... by Halloween of this year, 121 people had already died in 26 mass killings around the country, according to data from USA Today .

    In the last five years, there have been almost two mass shootings a month, according to a report from Mayors Against Gun Violence, a bipartisan group made up of over 1,000 mayors from across the country.


    The U.S. Department of Justice
    estimates
    that between 2009 and 2012, 404 people were shot and 207 killed in these kinds of mass shootings. In the meantime, statistics show over 47,000 people were murdered in the US by firearms between 2006 and 2010, according to the FBI. ..."

    It was kinda nickname, so a capital letter was needed.

    All of these stupid actions are pitiful and absolutely useless. Checking the million computers can't be organized properly. That's an utopian goal which just spends money of the US taxpayers, no more. Also, it leads the society to a deadlock. The more fears FBI/NSA produce, the more spontaneous killings they get and the more forces they need to manage it and the more killings they get and so on. Vicious circle.

    Большой процент убийц, особенно наиболее известных, психически больные, которые не лечились или не имели доступа к медицинской помощи. Это может измениться к лучшему с внедрением Обамаcare, медстраховки, которая будет покрывать психзаболевания. Если бы ещё начали честно проверять тех, кто покупает оружие.
