Well, I figure since Keith Alexander already had a replica of the starship Enterprise bridge made, that he was having a holodeck made in Utah. That takes a serious amount of texture storage...
Make sure to buy a Monster Cat6 cable next time. Clearly their superior marketing... I mean production values will mean that your cable will be incapable of inflicting harm on anyone. Except bad guys. Yeah, that's it.
1. Most cameras in laptops are USB peripherals, sourced from an OEM. 2. Even if that were done, look up LED persistence of vision, Then ask how long the camera needs to be on to take a picture versus how long it takes before humans notice the LED is lit. Hwo knows, it might be possible to grab a pic before the LED is bouncing photons at all. As a result, it's not as simple as hooking it to Vdd, you'd have to build a capacitor network in that will not allow the camera to turn on until the LED is lit and then won't allow the LED to go out until it's noticeable to the user. 3. Do you think the OEM even thought about privacy? Might wanna rethink that. 4. It's far simpler to put a shutter on the camera (but what about IR?) and/or put a HW switch on the USB Vdd to the camera.
Moreover, It's not like he hasn't had the observable precedent of what the government did to vocal dissenters using the "process," namely to maliciously prosecute them and strip them of their retirement even when prosecution fails for the obvious reason that there was no evidence. Thomas Drake is a prime example of that.
Sadly, the paper the reporter worked for has now run a piece about the raid and their intentions to pursue a civil case against the government. So it looks like the tin foil hat brigade is right again. Been happening a lot this year. Perhaps TIME will make the conspiracy theorist the Person of the Year this year.
i think he would have been wildly more successful at doing things like ending the wars, closing Guantanamo, not assassinating minor US citizens in countries we aren't at war with, and restoring the rule of law than our current administration. And that would have been more than enough to accomplish as president given how dismal Obama *actually is* in power. But hey, it sure is fun to mock people who don't have power for what they might or might not do.
the last constitutional amendment was a long while ago. the currently tolerated status quo is one where opinion polls determine our rights and the executive branch has far more power than a plain reading of the constitution would infer. Some parts are ignored and undermined (most of the bill of rights, just ask a defense attorney about your 4th ammendment rights erosions.) Others are aggrandized, most notably the supremacy clause and article 2. Also, Obama is continuing and extending all the policies you labeled totalitarian, so how's that HOPE and CHANGE working out for you?
most of the best regulations of industries, including the medical industry are ones requiring information and product labeling... and most of those regulations are pushed by the political left. What's your beef with it in this one corner of one industry?
When you rupture the field, and spill back into being causally connected with the universe at the remote reference frame, a shitton of energy and radiation will blast out.
Hell, their people have lost control over their government and their government has lost control over its sovereignty to the EU. All the "savings" made by the austerity in the UK in the past few years have been eaten by the vast increases in the UK's mandated "contribution" to the EU. That means that the average joe there pays like they're getting socialist benefits while getting fewer and fewer of them. And the national debt there is still going the wrong direction.
if you'll recall, at the time of the crisis banks were able to immediately pass loans to third parties and off of their books and thus take almost no risk on the loans. Because of this, banks willfully turned a blind eye to all sorts of fraud, thus "liar loans", "no-doc loans", and "ninja loans". In so doing they certainly were not making underwriting decisions "consistent with safe and sound operation *at any level of the socio-economic spectrum* including that mandated by the CRA. Thus the CRA was a contributing factor, but it was one among many, including especially failure of the federal and state governments to enforce existing regulations.
The best part is that nothing has been structurally fixed with the regulatory structure. Elizabeth Warren got shoved out and the CFPA is a paper tiger as a result of the same politics. None of the "Too big to fail" entities were broken up after stabilization like we were promised would happen. Thus we can repeat history as soon as consumer sentiment becomes as enamored of debt as it was a few years ago.
You don't get to cherry pick your contributing factors, just as the other side doesn't get to.

Is your lens cover opaque over the whole band your camera can sense?

last i checked the UK still has a veto in the UN security council... so trouble making by ecuador will be... limited.
