Clearly, the nation is slowly moving towards a state fear-based govmt. It should be the opposite. WHY ISN'T ANYONE ALARMED AT THIS CRAP?
Alarm? Of course there can be no alarm. Get your head out of the eighteenth century and into the twenty-first. Freedom is so overrated. Liberty is for criminals and terrorists. I understand. You forgot to take your Soma today.
I recall that which a certain Mr. Dzhugashvili had said: "It's not the votes that count but who counts the votes." Whether it the counting be done by carbon (human) or silicon (machine), it does not matter, votes will be corrupted precisely because it involves LEGITIMACY.
There is a spider that is the most medically significant in the USA. It's not from the Widows, Hobos, or Recluses. May I present to you the ubiquitous Cheiracantium inclusum and its European immigrant cousin Chericanthium mildei more commonly called the yellow sac spider. These critters like to nest in the corners of walls and ceilings indoors. These infest car interiors and pop out at the worst times imaginable. It is sufficiently venomous to merit medical attention, even when one has no allergies to spider invenomations. These are the sort of spiders that go about the walls and ceilings and when one least expects, dragline down right before your face while in the shower, eating a meal, or foul a video blog with an expletive stream worthy of George Carlin.
I use a squirt bottle of isopropanol to stun these bastards from the ceiling corners so I can kill these because these are fast running biting machines. The only benefit is that these control insects and other spiders including black widow and brown recluse.
It is rather ironic that in a world that is hostile to faith in general and Christianity in particular, a Christian doctrine, that is all humans are fallen, is exploited and twisted for political ends.
What could happen is that router manufacturers could (be compelled to) agree to a system that creates a VPN connection to Big Brother to send the log data. No large storage would be required. Every x hours, the log would be sent to Big Brother. If such routers cannot communicate with said computers, it would either shut down, operated in cripple mode or report such as obstruction of government administration. This would be a boom for software based routers.
Whatever allows government to exercise as much authority over as many individuals for as long as the people tolerate.
I can see the advent of 'beaver packets' containing strings like the following:
"Loonie ranks, greenback tanks" "This is Geddy Lee and I approve this datagram" "We have REAL toilets not those six litre flushing frauds that clog with four sheets of TP" "This packet constructed with hydro electrons" "Can-Tyre Money rules!" "Tim Horton's powers Canada" "Larger field, fewer downs, more kicking, two slotbacks, now that's REAL gridiron football" "We don't need to pronouce our O's" "Francophones swear naming church hardware" "Hear O Canada, Hockey is our Sport, Hockey alone!"
There are states that allow one to collect unemployment benefits after being fired even with cause. Usually there is a six to eight week penalty period before eligibility starts. There are the states where employers try to make their targets quit so they cannot collect.
I've been in the computer repair industry for a quarter century and the for the past eight years the vast majority of the work has been onsite. The goal is to make the employee quit so he/she cannot collect unemployment benefits. Some states, like New Jersey, allow those who were fired to collect after a six or eight week 'penalty' period, so firing is not an option. The most effective way is to create a 'hostile environment'. Since the definition is so subjective, the employee will have to risk bankrupting him/herself hiring a lawyer to prove his/her case. There are ways to create a 'hostile environment' while making it difficult for the employee to prove such. One is 'pseudorandom territorial and/or product assignments'. This requires knowledge of the area where the work is, what is to be serviced and who does not like going to certain locations and/or working on certain products.
In this era of post 9/11 with constant talk from think tanks that a terrorist nuclear attack on a major city (READ: NEW YORK CITY) is inevitable, the specter of some workers 'perishing for a paycheck' and others remaining safe is invoked. Employers are using this to make people quit by assigning them work exclusively in these areas with enough assigned work outside these areas as a red herring. For example, the wife of one of my co-workers works in a military facility in the greater NYC area which is known to store 'nuclear materials'. A reasonable person would assume that such an individual in this circumstance would have some knowledge of the subject and thus some concern for the safety for herself and her family. What I have seen from his work assignments is that none of his calls are any closer to NYC than where the shop is. He thinks that seventeen miles will keep him safe but only if the yield is below a certain amount.
If the targeted worker brings the issue of discriminatory territorial and/or product assignments into court, the employer need only produce the assignments outside the 'territory' to disprove the case if it not be summarily dismissed on 'frivolous grounds'. I have spoken with a number of onsite service technicians and what they have witnessed is that the techs who are targeted for removal are assigned these areas and rest are allowed to work the 'safer' areas.
On a slightly different subject, earlier in this decade, one of the clerical workers had caused payroll information to remain in public view for an extended time. From this info, I found out that I was fixing problems of those who were paid more than me. F*** that! Since I knew who did what and who went where, I started making certain that those who were paid more than I were made to pull their weight. Those BSA anti-piracy ads with the 'unhappy current and former employees' line played into my favor!
This may happen as part of blackmail by China against the USA vis-a-vis government and trade debt. Or PLA thugs posing as cooks from the local takeout may beat the offender to a pulp or worse.
One needs to understand the mind of the LEO (law enforcement officer). To such, everyone is a criminal and everything is evidence. However, by reason of matters including but not limited to caselaw, statute(s), patrol guidelines, budget, and manpower, he has to determine the subset of people and things considered 'of interest and/or as evidence' that will have empaneled juries decide his way.
The context of this thread is that data erasure via a single overwrite is insecure and only permanent and irreparable physical destruction of storage hardware is the posited means to securely destroy data. To the LEO at the crime scene (where this whole argument is going), data is perceived as evidence. Therefore the LEO sees a destroyed data storage device and gives probable cause to think that evidence destruction was attempted.
Step 5: Incapacitate suspect with blunt object Step 6: Dump body into hydrofluoric acid tank Step 7: Test for Na+, K+, Mg++, Ca++, Fe++(+) ions and perfluoro-organics in solution Step 8: Titrate with mixed alkali carbonates Step 9: Dump mixture somewhere in New Jersey Step 10: ??? Step 11: Homeland Security!!
Due process is to USA law as the drop-kick-at-goal is to gridiron football. Merely an anachronism.
I am astonished by what has yet to be said here. This whole nonsense can be traced to a certain four word clause that itself 'has worn rings, bores, bearings, journals, seats, and guides': driving is a privilege. Until that is changed, the whole thing is moot. Even though the owning an automobile is a property issue, it is property whose use involves a state granted privilege. Therefore, the ownership of this sort of property, like firearms, has become more of a privilege than a right. As long as people value safety (as in tyrant's tool that none dare oppose) over liberty, this sort of tyranny will continue to progress here and elsewhere.
It is yet another entity with college (over)education who by virtue of said education think that it is its (pseudo-divine) right to lecture us about our lifestyles. Elitists have no place in a republic.
Let's have fun turning the nanny-staters against themselves: LIGHT POLLUTION SAVES LIVES. If they scream about the the environment (which they are), then we have them where we want them: it is not about saving lives; it is about controlling every aspect of our lives.
You see, the problem is that there is a critical mass of individuals with graduate degrees in various social sciences. This causes them to think that by virtue of such educational achievement such gives them the right to order the lives of people who have not achieved such education (a.k.a 'the rest of us'). It's the closest thing to having a nobility class in a republic. These are the sorts of people who believe that money is 'more at home in the hands of government' than in the hands of regular folks. These are the sorts that believe that morality is being on the 'right side' of public policy issues than any sense of ethics whether derived from revelation and/or reason. There is a large segment of humanity that is dominated with the idea of an enlightened and educated overclass, but the last time I remember, I do not live in that part of the world and the Pacific Ocean should serve to remind US (pun intended) of the difference.
The image that is evoked in the minds of many is the petite female college stOOdent who drives the parent financed Prius with all sorts of obnoxious bumper stickers encrusted thereupon, who thinks that she is a citizen of the planet Earth, who eats the tofu-burgers, who demands that every animal be preserved yet demands that every fetus must be aborted, who is a fixture at every protest march and demonstration and who 'services' (think 'reciprocating vacuum pump sounds') the professors to maintain her grades.
I drive a real vehicle (Ford E250) with some intense illumination. When I get stuck behind one of these voltswagens, I simply flick on the RetinaRoasters(TM) and sure enough these let me pass.

Brace for incoming salvo of protests from some obscure ethnic mobility defense organization.
Fear not, the Obama tax plan will see to it that at least ninety percent of that settlement goes to the IRS.
Where are the animal rights crowd? PETA should have a field-day with this.
Whoever uttered that statement has only about six million to whom s/he must apologize.
Only if a jury says so.

The vast majority of them wear sandals, even in the frigid cold. It's a means to express contempt for the culture of their targets.

You mean with the yellow and black pinwheels on the case?
This tends to be true of nation-states that have government and trade surpluses.
How would DC v. Heller be applied in this case?
