    Just because we can't prove they are sabotaging older equipment, doesn't mean they aren't. In this business, just like in politics, it is best to assume the worst to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

    Your votes are what made it that way. Look in the mirror, boy!

  8. Start with a sledgehammer, and file it down to a nice sharp edge. Eh, whatever, as long as we can spy on the state and take away its privacy, it won't matter. But let's all forget about ours. It's gone. But let's not forget that these are elected officials that want to impose this stuff. Y'know, in case you're interested in following the chain of events to its source.
