I got ticketed at a Fasttrak lane a month ago (I didn't have a Fasttrak pass and by the time I realized my mistake it was too late to merge to another lane). They took a picture of my license plate and used that to track me down. They don't need to have a picture of your face in order to find out who's car it is. Hell they don't even need to have a device in your car at all. Your car CARRIES an ID around with it on the bumper.
Not to most people. Most people don't even read the Constitution. We're really an apathetic bloody country over here, which makes it very easy for those in charge to take our rights away. Really, if you tell people you've read the Declaration of Independence, generally their response will be "oh so you're a history buff?"
The right to revolt against tyranny is in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution, which is not considered a legally binding document AFAIK. Not that I disagree with you.
require "special hardware and software" to read the tapes
Eh, technically it does. You could also say that a CD requires special hardware and software to read. It's just that the hardware and software in question is fairly easy to obtain...

Aaaand this is why the world hates Americans.....
Haha I just read your other comment that says the same thing. I'm fairly certain this is illegal, though I wonder how they'd catch you...

Didn't the update get automatically installed?
Heh, facebook owns the database. They could CREATE the messages if they wanted to.
The Mac dock works much the same way if certain settings are enabled. But on the other hand you have to tell it to display this behavior.

Or is it only groups out of favour with the politicians in power who can't exclude?
Exactly this.

The internet is designed to route around things like this.
Well now that you point it out I can see that. I thought it was just an AC being stupid (which has been my experience with ACs of late).
No, I'm not. But I may be ignorant. If my statement was wrong then please correct me rather than just throwing out a blanket insult.

When was the last time we read a story, "Iron Mountain lost backup tapes uber confidential data."??
Every time that happens they kill all the witnesses. So no one ever knows...

I've never watched Babylon 5 but Guinan was from TNG.
On slashdot he just has to READ it. He doesn't have to listen to it being typed or talked about.
sue to have Starbucks shut down
Not seeing a downside to that part.
Ah, that makes more sense. Thank you for taking the time to explain.
My original post wasn't responding to OP (damn that's a confusing line). I was responding to GreatBunzinni's post.
Appreciate the link.
Or ever even logged in on....
You do know that Hollywood mostly makes FICTION right??
Did I say Hollywood?
