The root meaning of Felony is 'civil death'. We hand them out for people packing up their weed in certain ways. "O you divided up your 1/4 ounce of cannabis into daily doses, thats intent to distribute, FELONY.
I said i can record what i see and you build a FLIR straw man. Further, just because the government is not allowed to use FLIR in law enforcement in no way reflects MY ability to use it. You constructed a shitty argument. As I said, i believe I have the right to record any spectra my eye can detect, IR and FLIR are not things a normal eye can detect.
I believe i have the right to record anything my eye can legally see. If it can be seen and remembered, it should be recordable. That is not to say i believe in the absolute right to DISTRIBUTE everything i see. Those are different conversations. There are some points I agree with you about the redistribution of my image taken without my consent. However, the fear of redistribution should not override the right to record. We should find a middle ground.
CCTV has been around for decades, google glass changes very little. People have been videotaped most of their adult lives. The genie was out of the bottle a LONG time ago. Your objections ring hollow when you dont even mention CCTV. You are asking the individual to not do something business has enjoyed for a very long time. Does CCTV make you uncomfortable? Do you ask businesses to not tape you while you are out and about every time you see a camera? Do you consider every business with a CCTV setup to be equivalent to a glasshole?
What about the satellites that fly overhead? Are they assholes too? Planes flying over doing land surveys? Are they also assholes? The plain fact is, that if you are outside, you are observable. Your 8 foot fence is not considered to be a legal 'expectation of privacy', no matter how you feel about it.
You do realize that 'glassholes' are the absolute tip of the wearable iceberg, right? I could wear 10 cameras on my person and you would never know they were there unless i pointed them out to you.
Its luddite behavior because we have been under constant video surveillance for decades. If they REALLY had objection to it, they wouldn't go to places that have CCTV.
Forces are hard at work limiting or stopping the NSA's ability to operate. Yes we havent seen legislative movement yet, but infosec is hard at work figuring out how to keep secrets from the NSA.
But they aren't just spying on foreign governments, they are spying on the citizenry EN MASSE. That is far beyond the NSAs mandate. Spying is a dishonorable and destructive force, i dont buy the argument that we HAVE to do it. We choose to.
You are a fool. The traitors are the ones calling him a traitor. How we ever supposed to stop the NSA if no one tells on them? Make no mistake the NSA is a huge threat to Liberty in this country.
The NSA is a far more active threat to Liberty than any bomb. Every Us citizen has been harmed and continues to suffer harm from the NSA's actions. You don't sustain the Republic by ignoring its core tenets.
I.T. people are like oracles. We are entrusted with a lot of information and we can usually see the bigger picture, even a bit into the future. You are never going to get them to unionize because they feel the cons outweigh the pros.
And everyone in the industry recognizes this and we are already seeing stratification of the game development into good/better/best categories. Everything you listed is being addressed on some level. The PC and console development system is coalescing into one pipeline that addresses good/better/best hardware configs, and tailors the build for a specific platform at the end.
Reduce copyright to a sane length and make an exception to allow breaking encryption for the purposes of backup and we'll talk. Until then, the social bargain that is copyright is broken.
An elected civil servant, who is responsible to the citizenry, taxes have nothing to do with it. We could pay him purely from tariff money and it wouldn't change his obligations.
No matter what you set up on a PC they will break it somehow. Trust me on this one. The best I.T. decision I ever made was giving my mother-in-law an ipad.
"It's all the disadvantages of a console "
You are joking right? I have full Linux under the hood with root and it has all the disadvantages of console?????? REALLY??? You are WAY out of touch here.

I could build a x86 based router for less. $300 is absolutely ridiculous for this kind of hardware.

ill pose the equal question of, 'why wouldnt they'?

This argument is incredibly tiresome, its a complete logic fail. There is no barrier to uploading CCTV video to the net.
TROLL ALERT! TROLL ALERT! I can play this game too. Nothing bad could happen from an unchecked intelligence system, could it?

No it would NOT. By any measure of the 4th, the NSA is operating illegally. The FBI doing it would be equally illegal.

"yet because that monitoring does not directly harm me, the powers that be have maneuvered the law to make blatant violations of the law untouchable."
Every citizen of the USA has standing against the NSA.
Its almost as if there is a price to pay for being a monopoly.....
Yep, have 32-bit windows 8 on my wife's Asus T-100.
