News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is very interesting. I've thought several times fantasized about setting up a Kickstarter to fund hiring blackwater for things like this. I wonder though if this isn't what we originally created government for. Does the fact that people are thinking about this "hack" say more about where technology has gotten or about the state of politics?

Probably the state of politics. I suspect crowdfunding would never raise enough for the likes of Blackwater.

I'm not sure I'd be donating to the campaign of the guy who says "please send me money to hire a private army, and I will definitely use them for upright and noble purposes, I promise!"

That kind of sounds a lot like the IRS!
