Then again, maybe the politicians just don't even bother trying to have a cover story anymore, because they know we already consider them all nothing but self-serving asshats, yet the majority will still vote them back into office again and again and again.
The only way things will change is to always vote out the incumbent. Every time. Even if you agree with 100% of their positions and votes. Lets spend a few election cycles churning up the sludge. Maybe some of them will get the hint, and maybe some better people will see that they have a shot at getting in, once the old-boy network has been rattled to pieces.
When did a GPS jammer become a directed energy weapon?
You know, when Han used his Tricorder to restimulate the active particule neutrino phase shifters, which resulted in a plasma beam that disrupts the life-support system on any craft that flies slower than 22 parsecs.
Only if he reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.
The Stig wouldn't wrap it around a tree. Hammond might. Clarkson would roll it over into a canal. May wouldn't get it going fast enough to wrap it around anything./amidoingitright?
I am a programmer, systems administrator, network admin, backup wrangler, system builder, cable installer, help desk, DBA and phone tech. I lso get to do data entry, order processing, filing, and sometimes I take out the trash. I am 'The Computer Guy' at our company. There are many of us out here. We want to do the right things, but cannot focus on any one thing long enough to get it sorted.
LinkedIn has always seemed shady to me. I joined a few years ago, and got inundated with requests from people who seemed to do nothing with their time but offer to show me how to accumulate linked-in followers. My ex and I were simultaneously suggested to each other as contacts, probably because we still share some friends in common. Neither of us requested anything.
I think the whole thing is just another social-media wank-fest, like twitter or google+.
As a life-long citizen of Illinois, I've reached the point of saturation with the asshattery that goes on in Springfield and the true ruling city of the state, Chicago. This kind of thing simply doesn't register any attention anymore. We are numb, beaten into submission.

You are complaining about crappy stories and shitty web design, and then recommending Reddit as an alternative?
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

We have a situation where the roads of the future are privately owned, gated, and tolled.
Snowcrash was a warning, not a blueprint.

Yeah, he might even be able to edit text.
Two words: Zombie Kalashnikov.
That's the name of my new band.
I wish I had Mod points right now. Truth is spoken here.
How are they supposed to justify their budget requests if they don't maximize the threats they are supposedly protecting us from?

Hexadecimal?! Luxury! We had to code ones and zeros, on clay tablets.
(Teller was silent on the matter)
Of course he was.

How many SAP installs come in at or below budget? How many are actually completed at all, let alone on-time?
Parking garage under the ring. There's a pic of the entrance/exit tunnel.
Stop underestimating NSA
Stop underestimating the tech-savvy criminals; many of them are far more skilled than any thug who works for the NSA.
Many of them ARE the thugs working for the NSA. This includes, potentially, some of you slashdotters.
Doh. I type faster than I comprehend what I am reading. Sorry.

FUCK! Anyone of us could code that!
Some of us slashdotters DID code this. Very likely. And likely knowing full-well what they were doing.
So these drones are the ones on the lookout for enormous star-goats?
