I think I get mod points depending on how busy I am at work and at home. If I have a ton to do, I will invariably get mod points on Friday afternoon, ensuring that they're wasted while I'm mowing the grass or getting dog stains out of the carpet.
I've been on here a LONG LONG time, which probably counts for something too.
I had to decide: mod you up or respond with agreement.
Pretty much anything Grado makes is an incredible value, but their "lower-end" headphones are a BARGAIN. The consumer brands otherwise mentioned here are toys in comparison. (Except maybe the upper tier Sennheisers.)
I've only had one job that involved working with sales people, but I think you have reinforced my opinion of them. I worked with two types; "Herb Tarlick": white belt and shoes, pseudo-gregarious backslappers, and people like you who studied sales as a science. One guy worshipped Zig Ziglar. Unfortunately the Herb Tarlicks convinced me that I was better off working someplace that didn't have a sales staff.
You work as an airliner? That's cool, I work as a oscilloscope. Long hours, though.
It's possible that commercial aircraft don't use celestial navigation. (Also possible that some do. Dunno.) Military aircraft (particularly bombers) can use celestial navigation, and the weather or time of day isn't much of a factor. You figure out the rest.
Yeah, that's always the problem, innit?
I personally wouldn't mind the NSA reading all of my email if it were, in fact, a sort of protector of good.
How can any politician EVER control a beast that knows where every skeleton in every closet is and can protect that information behind armed guards and blast-proof doors? It's a deal with the devil if there ever has been one.
Aside from the fact that encryption on top of encryption doesn't necessarily make cryptanalysis more difficult, your are forgetting that you MUST NEVER CROSS THE STREAMS. Why? It would be bad.
You realize, of course, that you don't need a passport to leave the US
Wrongo. You must have mistaken the US for a free country.
I remember when I was younger and we used to hear all the scary stuff about the bad bad soviet union. They couldn't even LEAVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY without permission. hahahahahahaha. We have met the enemy and he is us.

Don't tell anybody, but it was ME who keyed BOTH of their cars.
we're not talking about criminals who don't want to be caught after the act, we're talking about criminals who don't want to be STOPPED. Two ENTIRELY difference scenarios. Doesn't make as good of a straw argument, though.
The solution is simple; lower the signal-to-noise ratio. During the early cold war years, they did that by radio jamming. Nowadays spam serves that purpose (intentionally or not). Instead of closing your FB account, create 5 fake ones, and stuff them full of crap.

Pi internets to you sir.

They've just heard the horror stories about CSC. My favorite: their special phd "troubleshooter" who showed up for work DAILY in his pajamas.

Just how many accounts do you have? Apparently at least three.
that's child abuse, man.
Back when I first got online we didn't even have ones and zeroes. We just had zeroes, and we liked it that way.
Are you saying we can't build campfires in the basement any more?

And I bet he liked orange soda a lot. I also doubt that he ate broccoli more than once a week.

IT's alla counted for, and rather tightly.
That's a retarded joke, right?
Please don't suggest that he can't handle the truth.

Know what a turtle is? Same thing.
He's arguing to be the chancellor of the Ministry of Social Networks when they get around to creating such a thing.

well, no. A heat pump uses enthalpy. This is less efficient but simpler.
You miss the glaringly obvious:

What are they going to do, kill him?
Not as far as you know.
Don't ask about how they're going to "extradite" him either.
I just checked, and Netcraft confirms it. XP is dying.
