    You would lose that bet.

    Its fine. Stop, please.

    Ebay sellers ship quicker, and 90% of the time are cheaper than amazon.

    Who is to say these companies didn't get even more money in return for backdoors, wiretaps etc?

    Maybe the folks who coded the "delete browser history on exit" option should be jailed?

    Way off. May 1986 was when the Hughes Amendment took effect, which was a part of the FOPA.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...

    Fully automatic machine guns made after may of 1986 were at that point made illegal. Pre 86 machine guns are legal and transferrable so long as the ATF approves the transfer (and the gun is in the NFA registry, legal in your state etc).

    Doublethink straight out of 1984.

  8. Re:Opposing Reps wanted more Patriot Act on Senate Passes USA Freedom Act · · Score: 1

    What a bunch of hogwash. The primary purpose of all this is to use the NSA data for nabbing druggies and dealers.

    Which they are currently doing, just illegally and thus need to use parallel construction.

    I guess you've never heard of the Aguilar–Spinelli test, or the 4th amendment for that matter.

    Most people don't do "drugs" as defined by men with wooden hammers.

    Most people in actuallity "do drugs" as defined by chemistry and biology. Drugs like caffeine and alcohol.

    You have to have a warped definition of drugs to make that statement true, parent poster.

  13. Re:Meet the New Act on Senate Passes USA Freedom Act · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1984 taught you how to tar and feather well.

    Libertarian does not equal anarchy. Only people opposed to freedom for others make such deceptive statements.

    What checks? Judicial branch declared the bulk spying to be illegal but did nothing, instead let congress pass this bill. Which appears to be the same thing.

    Do you mean the FISA check and balance where secret courts signed off on mass warrants?

    People who demonize libertarianism always try and paint it to be anarchy. In reality, libertarian would be what the founders intended. Not what we have today, and not anarchy.

    People are selfishly motivated usually. Govt probably supports you and your interests, so you fight hard to avoid change.

  15. Re:RF? Heat? on Why Detecting Drones Is a Tough Gig · · Score: 1

    The GPS on mine usually has 12+ satellites locked in, so its unlikely to be directed via false GPS. It'll just kick on the error routine and ignore the GPS and go into compass/accelerometer mode.

  16. Re:RF? Heat? on Why Detecting Drones Is a Tough Gig · · Score: 1

    This might actually work. Most drone GPS modules are sensitive to noise from the drones own RF noise, so sending out ~1575mhz noise would probably work. It would have to be for some distance outside of the whitehouse as well, as a safe measure. Drones do have failsafes that could be programmed to continue its course should it lose GPS, thus the reason for the extra distance.

  17. Re:Just wondering on Why Detecting Drones Is a Tough Gig · · Score: 1

    The Pixhawk, one of the cheaper flight controllers for DIY drones, has a $14 accessory air telemetry radio that does transmit from the drone (to see telemetry data or upload waypoints). If you don't buy that add-on, there is no transmission from those drones unless they have a FPV camera / transmitter.

    Someone with malicious intent would do this: build a drone with no telemetry radio (to be less detectable since no radio transmitting), have no FPV camera, and upload a flight plan pre takeoff so it can't be jammed or the radio controller located.

    There are many laws created so law enforcement can stick it to people they don't like, while letting everyone else skip by.

    Eric Holder was held in contempt of congress, look what happened to him (nothing).

    Only charges that matter are from DOJ. They have the prisons that you go to if found guilty. Last I knew, Congress didn't have prisons.

    Govt believes it needs to do whatever it takes to get the bad guys.

    Trouble is, who is considered bad? Someone that posts libertarian comments challenging "big govt" on ar15.com?

    1. Govt is benevolent, everything they do is for our benefit. There is no reason for us to know what they are doing, since everything is pure, just, and good.
    2. If the details were shown, criminals would use this information.

    GameboyRMH, you're confusing the libertarian wing of the right with the neo conservative wing. There's a huge portion of right wingers that are very against this. Anyone who doesn't believe me, spend a week reading the general discussion on ar15.com.
