My question is who is responsible for picking them back up when the war is over? Or will it be Land Mine 2: Electric Boogaloo complete with the killbot wandering out of the forest 20 years later and wiping out an entire elementary school?
Also, sending an email is just like sending a postcard. Anyone can come break into your house and pick it up off the table and read it after you've received it. Your expectation of privacy is in the way of the government's expectation of doing whatever it wants.
I fully expect that tor will be completely mappable by this time next year, with every packet in tracked to the exit out (or onionsite) and back, especially as we get closer to universal data retention laws making it trivial to find out who sent every packet where.
Run for Senate in Pennsylvania, the law should be that they accept only from PA citizens. Running to represent district 5 in NY? Please only accept from distric 5 residents. Otherwise we have Senators from Delaware representing Hollywood's interests and not his own constituents. Joe Biden, I'm looking at you.
While it's an intriguing idea it's impossible in practice. The guys in hollywood will just run the ads on their own without giving the money to the election campaign.
If I'm for a position, is it bribery when I donate to a politician that shares my views?
Of course not. But I will warn you that when it turns out that the politician you're supporting does something unpopular, you're supporting that too. If you had just bribed them you'd have the excuse of saying "I don't support him I just needed him to vote ___ on S.B. 12345". See also...
Protesting weed laws doesn't make you a drug dealer
Of course not, but I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a Republican that would disagree with cops searching the group of NORML protesters marching on 4/20 to see if they're carrying any.
Hell, I'll settle for a party that has an internally consistent platform, instead of one demanding small government while paying billions of dollars to track down and house people for "feeling good". Moderation be damned, I want non-hypocrites so at least I know where I really stand.
It shall not be a violation of this section to circumvent a technological measure in connection with a work protected under this title if the purpose of such circumvention is to engage in a use that is not an infringement of copyright under this title.
Yep, that's going to have to be stricken from the final bill.
Since the cards were used to steal directly from the bank and they've got no place to chargeback to like they usually do to cover their losses due to their insecurity, I wonder if we'll finally see a sudden outbreak of security from the banks.
A postcard anyone who handles it between point A and B can read what is on that postcard compared to a letter they would need to open to read.
And once it's dropped through the slot in my mailbox at the end of the journey, nobody can read it without opening my mailbox and fucking with my shit. Unless, of course, my mailbox is on a server somewhere, which the government thinks means it is allowed to fuck with my shit all it wants.
However, any law which is used to curtail the right to keep and bear arms and is upheld by the courts can be used as a precedent for future courts to rule on similar laws applying to other constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Which is how we got to where we are now: "free speech zones" became "free gun zones", "I know it when I see it" obscenity became "I know it when I see it" scary-looking-rifles, and "sex offender registries" are heading towards "gun owner registries".
We're already nearing the bottom of the slippery slope and seem to be picking up speed.
After all of that, you would need to consider a method of cataloging and indexing all of that data, and a way to search and recall all of it in a reasonable amount of time. Were we in the age of quantum computing, I could see all of this as being possible, but with today's technology it would be a practical impossibility.
And in the end, all you have to do is convince people it's possible that you have evidence you can't reveal in court for national security reasons, and everyone will bend over backwards to do your bidding.

recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient
And clearly the metric system is one such measure :)
Don't download or buy kids!
Kids wiggle too much to get them into the tubes. That's why I only download cars.
Masking your IP is another (solved) problem

Does it really matter so long as it does what it says on the tin?
But if you put in the wrong figures, do you get the correct answer?
when you can conduct illegal business as usual
Because illegal businesses have their own expenses.
You're right. Let's make it so that everyone is a non-resident of any nation. Kant it work?
When does the Chinese Room go from addition and multiplication tables to "understanding math"?
ebno-10db for president! (try and stop me!)

and market
So wait, did this guy sell the beans to other farmers as roundup ready?
Of course not, but I bet you'd be hard pressed to find a Republican that would disagree with cops searching the group of NORML protesters marching on 4/20 to see if they're carrying any.
Just name the location "Labor and Delivery"
Only a problem if you're a meatbag driver who thinks he's awesome enough to be allowed on the road with his sluggish 1 second response time.
Or if everyone else hacks their car to answer "no" when your car asks to be let through.
Hell, I'll settle for a party that has an internally consistent platform, instead of one demanding small government while paying billions of dollars to track down and house people for "feeling good". Moderation be damned, I want non-hypocrites so at least I know where I really stand.

and should be treated as such
So I can break into your house and read the postcards you already received, and you're cool with that?
The best part is that we wouldn't need to have infinite recursion because Police Police Police Police police, police Police Police.

People should remember just how terrible Americans are at keeping a secret
How long did the Manhattan Project employ thousands of people before anyone figured out what they were making?
