Big Brother Will Be Watching You In Florida
An anonymous reader submits "The Florida Times Union is running a story about the city of Manalapan putting up cameras and an automatic optical recognition system to check the license plates of every car to drive through town. As usual the article spins the system as something positive to battle crime. Just one step close to Eric Arthur Blair's vision of 1984."
Why are people modding these idiots up? It would take all of 10 seconds to Google the information, who the fuck cares WHAT name they posted in reference to 1984? If you're too dumb to use Google, you're not smart enough to read 1984 and understand it anyway.
They're not insightful, they're just trolling. Or ignorant.

Ah, yes. Strong words from a poster too afraid to attach a name to their thoughts. There's nothing quite like hiding your beliefs and ideas behind the cloak of anonymity and then expecting to have any credibility or force in what you say about them, hmm?
I suppose the ideas of rational discussion and intelligent discourse escape you, however, given the emphasis you put on an integer field in a database.
Anyone too stupid to Google or too pompous to just ask for clarification is nothing more than an ignorant prick too insecure in their own knowledge to admit that there are things they don't know.
Run off and play now, child. I'm sure you need to go off and concern yourself with someone else's "Karma" to provide some meaning in your vapid, barren life.
