    Right, which is why police don't need a warrant to search you unless you are in a courtroom. Oh wait. Never mind ...

    Haven't had too many dealings with the police have you? Having been the target of numerous illegal searches. Attempts to set me up for 'assault police' charges and lots of other excitement including a raid with 14 storm troopers with assault rifles. I think you are scarily naive. And I live in Australia. People in the USA must suffer a lot more for their 'freedom'.

    You may not be aware of this, but most people who go out hiking in desert and wilderness areas are trying to get away from civilization for a while. I would find it extremely annoying, after having settled in for the evening or while trying to take a siesta, to have a robot intrude and offer me water. Given how most programming works, over and over and over again.

    the desert border crossings, and I'm pretty sure that if we send robots into that area, they won't be offering water to those the drones are tracking.

    LOL - Yes they will. Probably tacos too. Obligatory Obama comment.

    Whatever happens Xavier and pals will die at the hands of the non-mutants. It's just the system.

    We need some targets out there (space stations, moon base, mars base, something) before traveling in space makes any financial sense.

    Most people outside of the USA can tell you that Americans can see absolutely nothing in the mirror. This draws another interesting parallel between the average US citizen and vampires. I might just blog on that as it is so worthy of someone else's time and attention.

  25. Re:"the real magic behind the Facebook story..." on Lawrence Lessig Reviews The Social Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are things that are worth burning a bit of your privacy on to get something in return. Sadly, many people's thresholds for that sort of thing are kind-of low because they don't know just how valuable it really is.

    I agree that it is a very sad state of affairs that most of the younger generation/s these days seem to give so little thought to their personal privacy. Being of a conspiratorial bent I suspect that the concept of privacy is being trained out of the young. It's only a minor step from 'Privacy's Overrated' to 'Freedom's Overrated'.
