I'm 120 years old and get my cataracts removed daily, neither I, nor any of my contemporaries have a problem reading CAPTCHAs. Only a robot would find them unreadable. #SingularityMuch?
In ten years will we be asking, "Why do SWAT teams wear skulls on their caps?" (Citation: "Are We The Baddies?" by That Mitchell and Webb Look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn1VxaMEjRU)
TFA says NASA has its own SWAT.
"Along with the formidable force of standard security at Kennedy, a highly trained and specialized group of guardians protect the Center from would-be troublemakers. They are the members of the Kennedy Space Center Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team and they mean business. "

Step 1. Pick up your old console.
Step 2. Don't get rid of it.
What upsets me most personally about the United States is that we've developed a culture where doing the right thing is NEVER rewarded and doing the WRONG thing usually is. We've got a political culture right now where a politician MUST be a huxster or they can't compete.
What on earth makes you think that's unique to the US?
What on earth makes you think that's unique to today? It's always been this way, you are now finding out about it.
I hope it also reminds you to Sharpie your contact's telephone number to your arm before you go out. When I was arrested at a peaceful protest they confiscated my cellphone, the only number I had memorized was an ex-girlfriend's parents... from 7 years ago and two states away. http://www.joellueders.com/arrested.html [slashvertising]
This summer I was working in Yellowstone National Park as a waiter. After my boss was sacked he left his car behind in the parking lot where it sat for weeks. Spotting an opportunity to improve my truck's antiquated radio player I asked former boss, on Facebook, if I could have his car's cd player. He said sure!. Actually he said, "Awesome, Go Mengele on the old girl!" Two weeks later I'm called into my employers office and met by two Park Police Officers, who say, "We know what you did, we read about it on Facebook." I had no clue what they were talking about, as it turns out they were trying to scare me with a vandalism charge as leverage to give them my former boss's contact information, so they could charge him with abandoning his car.
