On the serious side of things, wouldn't it be better for some independent organization archive government emails? I mean, the Nixon administration investigating the Nixon administration should have taught us something. If an organization separate from the IRS archived the emails, the IRS wouldn't have to say their disks crashed. The independent organization lost them, and we could believe them. With the IRS losing their own emails . . . well, that has a bit of a stench to it.
Knowing that the NSA, IRS or whoever could not simply erase their own tracks of illegal activities would restore more confidence in the US government.
These appear to be glasses I would actually not mind wearing.
Actually, I was expecting them to look a lot worse . . . when I looked at the picture, they don't seem too far different from the high-end fancy sport sunglasses that I have seen in stores. The ones where you can clip on multiple filters, and stuff.
I think that they look better than Google Glasses, because they don't have that Colonel Klink or Borg monocle look. I do a lot of riding on trains, and these look like they would be perfect for me, when I want to zone out.
They would also look less menacing that Google Glasses, because it would be obvious to anyone around that I am NOT looking at them, but at whatever is on my screen. Let's face it . . . Google Glasses already have a bad reputation, never mind whether it is warranted or not. For some reason, I think that something like this might have a better chance of not scaring off people. Just because it would be obvious that I am immersed in the glasses. I would be just like sitting in a corner with an Occulus Rift on my head . . . just less dorky.
. . . actually, what a brilliant idea for an application for an autonomous car! An autonomous ambulance-chaser!
It could be parked in front of a hospital, and as soon as an ambulance leaves the hospital, all it needs to do is scream "Follow that car!" to itself. The lawyer can follow the action from his office, like an O. J. Simpson slow car chase, and can sign the victim up via Internet video chat before he gets attended to by the ER staff.
They'll just go ahead and search your phone anyway, by whatever means they have. They won't be able to submit what they find as evidence . . . until they get a search warrant afterwards.
They can still use anything they find as part of their investigations . . . to get other evidence by legal means, which they then can submit to a judge for a warrant.

That company could have made a fortune selling Google Glass jammers. But methinks some other dubious company will step up to the plate . . . for a while, anyway, until the FCC catches them, as well.
It will be like the illegal drug market . . . as long as someone wants to buy one, someone will be selling them . . .

An ancient Roman poet was asked, "What taxes do you think should be collected?" His answer: "Those that someone else pays."
Taxes is one thing that humanity will never be able to get right. We all seem to agree that someone needs to pay taxes . . . but other than that the ideas spread out in all directions of an Abstract Hilbert Space. And despite our best intentions that everyone only pay their "fair share" of taxes . . . there are always some unforeseen consequences that end up screwing someone who can't afford it.
Take the infamous US luxury tax. Sailboats are expensive toys for the rich, as well as luxury cars. So it should be fair to put a high tax on them . . .
. . . but a bunch of poor sailboat carpenters are now unemployed, because nobody wants to buy a new boat. Oh, and if you need a wheelchair device for your car? Hey, that's a luxury price car!
So . . . some folks have been proudly posting that the gas taxes are much higher in their countries. They don't seem to mind paying high gas taxes. So why doesn't the US put a tax on gas sold in foreign countries . . . ? It can't get any worse than our current foreign policy mess . . .
If the drone gets damaged during the capture...well...C'est la vie!

Germany probably thought that the US were their allies . . .
. . . fools, indeed! The US doesn't have any allies any more; just enemies. Or, at least they treat everyone as enemies.
Hell, even the citizens of the US are treated as enemies by their own government . . .
Go ask the IRA about their "nutting squad" . . . or . . . maybe it's a better idea not to . . .
My first thought was, "Whose nut, youse guys?"

Marriage impacts mass. Just compare the waistlines of your single and married friends, and you will see what I mean.
At night, a bachelor goes to the refrigerator, looks at what's inside, and then goes directly to bed.

Yes, you are.
No He's not.
Listen, this isn't an argument . . .
I fail to see the reliability advantage of the Soyuz.
The Soyuz can still take you into space. The Space Shuttle can't.
That's infinitely more reliable.
Also, jammers are not weapons as defined by law.
It depends on where you jam them.

Actually, wasn't the USA founded by anti-tax groups . . . ?
Yes, the revolution taxes its children, indeed. It doesn't eat them any more.
I've never understood this term.
. . . just wait until someone comes up with an "Internet of Things Cloud" . . . or should it be a "Cloud of Internet Things" . . . ?
. . . unfortunately, the receivers' disk have also crashed.
It should be pretty obvious to everyone now. The IRS is not going help the investigation. If fact, they are obstructing it.
I'm thinking we'll find that out really soon, as desperate parents buy the drug on the black market, and try it out on their kids.
