Of course it does. Every time an article even remotely about correlation is posted on slashdot, someone says, "Correlation != Causation". It's like Pavlov ringing a bell.
Except that it's Intelligence Oversight and illegal. Now, I understand they've been doing stuff like this, and I do not support it. But making it part of their official charter would be difficult as long as the current Intelligence Oversight laws are still in place.
If you bothered to read past the first couple of words on the link you posted, you might have noticed it ALSO said, "and to produce foreign signals intelligence information." And the first bullet says, "Collect (including through clandestine means), process, analyze, produce, and disseminate signals intelligence information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes to support national and departmental missions."
Which is what I said. Your sig is pathetically ironic. Fucking retard.
Boy, you really hit the nail on the head on that one. Except that these are imagery satellites, not signals. And NSA doesn't fall under DHS. But hey, let's not confuse your prejudices with facts.
I don't lock my doors every time either, but holy shit man. Do you really not see the value of having them? A casual passerby doesn't know that the door is locked as it is. Without a lock, anyone could enter at anytime and take my stuff.
Yes there are some and occasionally a nut job kills a few people, but that is a few people out of 300,000,000.
Did you miss the part about the serial killer on the loose in Lancaster? Having a few cameras put up in public isn't all that outrageous in my mind.
Do you like having locks on your doors? They impede your freedom of movement (ever get locked out accidentally?) in order to improve your personal security.
Please explain why it's such a problem to be watched in public spaces. You do realize you can be watched by anyone even when there's NOT a camera, right? This isn't about phone tapping, or going through your records, or peering into your windows. You're in public!
I live here too. The Amish are hardly the biggest threat in Lancaster. They're hard-working pacifists. And even if they are a threat, putting up cameras downtown isn't really going to give up information on the Amish. Plus, I personally have never heard of Amish drunk driving. I mean, as long as the horse doesn't drink, how bad could it be? Does the law even cover being drunk the tail?

It's also quite effective at repelling elephants, as no elephants have been sighted in the vicinity since it was put up.
The Goggle! It does nothing!
Going to make any attempt to justify your ignorance, hypocracy, and general douche-baggery? Hmm?

And all it showed was pictures of raptors and deadbolts.
You don't need supercomputers for handling AT&T's data. You need them for decrypting foreign signals. You know, their mission and stuff.
The part that got me was 10 meters per second. That seems pretty damn fast to me for something that small that beats its wings.
Well, which is it; a griffon or a dragon? There is a HUGE difference between them. Maybe you should read your Monstrous Compendium a little closer.
Apparently, iCantSpell can't read either. It's called a Nano Air Vehicle for a reason; because it's small.
Where's the Laserbeak tag? Or at least Lazerbeak, depending on which geek you ask.
Must have been talking about Magneto.
Obligatory slashdot answer on any topic regarding quantum mechanics: Yes and No.
Hey I used a Commodore 64, which can be directly compared to the iPhone. Don't you remember the /. article a few days ago?
No, that's NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency).
You mean besides the sports teams? What geek doesn't pick the city in which he wants to live based on how their sports teams are doing there?

It's called an analogy. I was trying to show how we trade freedom for liberty all the time on various scales.
Since last year. It's mentioned sort of obliquely in the article. There are a couple of unsolved murders and the police believe it is the same person.

Ah. Should've known, I guess. Although sometimes I think people's wacky comments are sarcastic, when they're actually heartfelt.
