    Well, some code mutates and lives on to the next generation. Does that count?

    If it's small it's going to be loud, if it's big it's going to be detectable. You can't jam all of them but you can jam most of them. Say it's a small drone with sound dampeners, automated flight path, faraday caged, random movements based on insect life in the area added to the flight path. Say it is also disguised as an insect. Your most powerful defense against this thing is its biggest weakness, it's flying. So, giant fans on the roof, strong enough to cover the compound so there will be a wind shield at night. During the day it's okay (supervise the prisoners). Good luck with the actual birds.

    Lazers! Wait, scan the area with high frequency sonar first, then lazerz!

  5. We all make sure to lie a lot online. Click random ads, just for the hell of it. Act like a different person, really roleplay, say on random days, but not too random, surprise yourself. If everybody did this there would be no value in your data. Sour the milk.

    You should also instruct the people you gave your number to never use your name during a phone call. Also turn off your phone when you're not using it, you'd need to only power it when you're expecting a call, or simply use it for outgoing calls only. You'd also need a phone with no camera.

    Or the companies and the government could just not do all of this privacy invasion. But that's radical.

    Right after they perfect the Heimlich maneuver with it I presume. I need one just to cancel out barking dogs in the neighborhood. Either way it won't work on wood.

  15. That's a bad ass drone. I wonder if it was smoking the cigarettes in-flight. Also, whatever happened to just pidgeons?

    Well, space is ripe for mutation. They don't have an automated system on board to send a warning about a new bacteria which turns astronauts into floating zombies. It would be nice.

    So you're expecting drones to have artifical intelligence programmed to arm itself against people? Or maybe just reinforce itself with shielding? Build and implement kevlar perhaps? Dodge bullets? Simpler perhaps would be to respect people's property lines including your own.

    Nah, with the new bills passing, and the government hand in hand with these companies, we're boned. No help is on the way. Nobody on your side, because you're not seeing things the right way. I hate to be a doomssayer but, historically we've been here before. You can't convince a guy who gets paid gratuitiously to use a hammer that people aren't nails. You're against it? Here's money. Still against it? I'm giving your competetors money. Still against it? Oh, you use Comcast or Verizon perhaps? It seems like you're experiencing connectivity problems while you were expecting that important business call. Still against it? What's this about a mistress you've been emailing? Still against it? Good, glad you agree. This is the future we chose for ourselves, and oh it's going to crash hard, unsustainable in time. Who cares though, as long as you turn a profit today.

    Yeah, you got that right. But it's not racist enough. In the meantime a white trailer trash is stabbing someone for meth, a nigger is stealing someone's television, and a sand nigger is getting ready to detonate a bomb. See, now we're there. But we can go deeper.

    Nobody does. Although I admit a ton of people were killed in the name of God historically and it still happens to this day, it's really the combination of poverty, violent upbringing, and lack of education rather than religion.
