It's time for the US to get rid of the TSA, which has... cost millions, irradiated thousands with backscatter x-ray scanners... and is actively trying to expand its sphere of influence.
It seems to me it's doing a perfectly fine job serving the purposes it was really created for (except for the stealing part but I suppose a little bad PR is to be expected when you're trying to return society to feudalism...).
There's NO WAY these legal gun owners would ever be a threat to the worthless, unethical fucks at this paper (who bloody well know it, too). These scum have already demonstrated that they have no ethics and now they're trying to paint those [they've fucked over] in a negative light, in a shallow attempt to frame the debate and draw attention away from their so-called mistake.
Show me one case of an anti-gun zealot doing anything wrong against a pro-gun owner. Just one is all I ask, never mind a Holocaust.
Translation: show me one case of an anti-gun zealot doing anything wrong against a pro-gun owner. Just one is all I ask; the six to twelve million cases that the Holocaust constitutes are far too many and I only asked for one, dammit.:p
It seems unlikely that Operation Wall Street was an astroturf movement though, because there was no-one in a position of power or money to gain from it.
I guess you've never heard of "controlled opposition" and "manufactured dissent..."
In an amusing twist that undoubtedly spells the end of some hapless manager's career, Microsoft has accidentally gifted pirates with a free, fully-functioning Windows 8 license key.
This falsely assumes that Microsoft wouldn't want Win8 to be pirated, when that's the very thing that'll help ensure their continued dominance.
(It'd be safe to assume that the higher-ups at Microsoft are also aware of this...)
Strawman argument - if yours isn't one of them, it's so old that it won't have the performance and features needed by the latest cutting-edge games, not on Windows or Linux.
I loved it, but it's by C.S.Lewis and is not-at-all-subtly Christian, which I'm sure would offend a lot of slashdot readers.
C.S. Lewis was a different sort of "Christian" than you're likely to find today; I think it's doing him a disservice to even use that word to describe him.
the sheeple are so dumb they believe anything with no evidence if it is official enough.
Instead of modding this down (i.e. playing a cowardly game of "shoot the messenger"), would anyone actually care to point out why this statement is invalid? While undoubtedly jaded and cynical, it illustrates the entire reason that governments go to so much effort to engage in domestic psyops (if doesn't, then presumably they're wasting a lot of money!).
The fact that this meme gets consistently modded to oblivion when there's more than enough evidence to suggest that it's at least a fucking possibility does nothing but increase the probability of it in fact actually being the case, at least in the minds of those not necessarily hooked on the Fox News/CNN tit...

A company like Huawei (founded by former members of the PRA
People's Riberation Army? :p
until its cheap enough that a college student econobox car has it
...until it's been around long enough that an ancient college student econobox has it.
FTFY
Good luck finding a politician willing to commit career suicide by dissolving the TSA.
Would that be the same "career suicide" that Kennedy commited when he became a threat to those who control our nation's intelligence services? :)

On the other hand, I bet the ISS would burn up a lot better on its way towards your house.
Not if it was plummeting straight down... :)
Why does it matter where you measure it? The mass won't change.
No, but its direction might!

From Oklahoma? They might mod you down. Living here but from elswhere? Trust me, we're far more likely to mod you up.

Colorado State Police have announced that they plan to start aggressively enforcing minimum speed limits...
Cradlepoint routers each have a unique password encoded in the firmware...
If yours isn't one of them, forget it.

and this Luger 9mm
That is a Highpoint 9mm - it shoots a cartridge known as "9mm Luger" (more commonly just 9mm).
Our govt has a very tight relationship with Microsoft, Symantec and McAfee.
And oil companies like Chevron?
Nuke it from the orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I'm fairly certain the Russians, Chinese and a few others have contingency plans for just that. :)
Unemployment has been decreasing since Obama took office.
Only because people who are no longer eligible to receive assistance aren't counted!

Seriously, who's the gibbering mouth-breather who modded-down something [so self-evident]? :p
this is another sign that Sony is continuing to move back to nice electronics
I missed the part where Sony announced that they're going back to producing hardware that isn't complete shit.
This is just Intel putting on a show of competing with themselves so that they don't get accused of monopolistic behavior... :p
