    Are they going turn off the TV for them, too?

    ... and their family's TV's and internet, and their smartphones, and the free wifi at the coffee shop right off base...

    I'm not sure you're getting much useful logging here. Not enough data points.

    A matter of time, man; I'm certain someone at Google said almost the same thing when they first started monitoring their users, er, I mean, 'products.'

    Just a matter of time...

    They will probably be a fixture at car shows for all time, and in Korean gadget reveals, but they seem so out of place at a software conference.

    Yup; the real question is, what will the next generation of Booth Babes be whoring themselves out for?

    Here's hoping for pull-start prosthetics, a la Space Truckers

    And those "studs" wound't be men who pretend to have any sort of self worth by prettying themselves up and are thus worthless whores?

    I gather OP's main concern is that he has no desire to bang female whores.

    Yeah, it doesn't seem particularly useful for any sort of real investigation.

    Nope, but very useful for Stasi fascists who want to log the movements of supposedly free citizens.

    36 million over two years is like watching a single freeway. If you want to track a single person, you're not likely to get a whole lot of useful data from that.............

    36 million total scans, not scans of 36 million individual plates.

    I'm sure the civil-liberties obsessives here would hate the idea of ubiquitous ANPR, but the practicality of the situation is that it works.

    Theoretically, rounding every non-government employed citizen up and sending them to the work camps and gas chambers "works" even more effectively...

    By avoiding Facebook, you are, at the very least, not putting your information on a fucking silver platter for them. Only imbeciles use Facebook.

    I would never say anything of the sort. I'm merely stating that I feel like political news should be excluded from this venue.

    Then stop putting it up there.

    Wait, what's that? It's not your website? Then why should anyone care what you think about the content?

    At this point, anyone who doubts that pretty much every American media outlet is putting extremely heavy spin and lies into their "news" is just not paying attention. It's an entertainment network, not a news network.

    FTFY.

  21. Re:What now? on Supreme Court Overturns Defense of Marriage Act · · Score: 1

    That strikes me as a tad bit more restrictive than calling a driver's license a 'privilege.' (A privilege now required to vote in Texas.)

    No it's not - you can use a state-issued non-driver's ID just the same.

    Not that I necessarily agree or disagree with the concept, just pointing out that you can acquire a 'voting ID' without ever learning how to drive.

    Yeah the group of people who treat others with respect have no right dictating the rights of those who steal, mame and kill!

    respect

    You use that word, but I have doubts as to whether or not you actually know its meaning - FWIW, those who would attempt to force their personal worldview on others are not treating others with respect.

    as I said, I want equality for all. Meaning that all americans can have the same rights as a married couple.

    So what, if I die you think you have an equal claim to my stuff as the woman I married (and jointly purchased much of that stuff with)?

    That's just silly.

  24. Re:Sounds like BS to me on FTC Demands Search Engines Separate Paid Advertisements From Search Results · · Score: 1

    it should be abundantly clear at this point, there is not and never has been such a thing as a free market

    Before you even try to answer if there is a free market or not, you need to figure out what the words free market actually means.

    Funny you should mention that; apparently someone has gone and invented a book that, get this, you can use to look up the definitions of a word! But wait, it gets better: Some other smart fellers have somehow put the contents of this word book on the internets, and made it searchable! Can you believe it?

    OK, biting sarcasm aside, here's the definition I found per Dictionary.com:

    Free Market = an economic system in which prices and wages are determined by unrestricted competition between businesses, without government regulation or fear of monopolies.

    Probably best to stick with the accepted definition of the term, and not muddy the waters with ideologically biased redefining.

    Ah, yes, credentialism. Because only people with Ph.Ds should be allowed to have opinions. That's such a great idea for a functioning representative government.

    Well sure! Why do you think our government operates so smoothly, without issue or error? Obviously because it's the nigh exclusive domain of heavily credentialed lawyers! /sarc

    A stint working at a university cleared me from ever thinking that people with doctorates are any more qualified than anyone else. Shit, these people sent me viruses, email hoaxes, and malware worms all the time.

    I learned a thing or two about the "Piled higher and Deepers" when I worked for a local college myself, but the real eye-opener for me was meeting the honorary PhD holding sociopath my wife used to work for (who, I shit you not, liked to brandish a loaded handgun while 'disciplining' workers); I thought, "Jesus, if they gave this lunatic asshole a doctorate, I have to assume it those things are no longer worth the paper they're printed on!"
