NYT vs wget: technologically illiterate Snowden coverage

I rolled my eyes at the silliness if the hand-wringing. But then I had a fleeting moment of humor, wondering if (according to the NYT) my decade-worth of familiarity with cURL and wget make me a 1337 hax0r d00d. woot! I’ve even edited httpd.conf files in vi…but now I’m back to rolling my eyes and feeling bad for the state of our society. That was a fraught 90 seconds, and now I am exhausted.

This one is my favorite:

The gardener used a "lawn mower" to "mow" the lawn.
