This is how people get shot, because the police are given the wrong address to raid a house. This is how people get foreclosed on because a few account numbers are switched.
Holy crap. That makes me never want to go near a copier again.
I'd pay to see them slowly die from starvation or lack of O2. I mean, that would be a TV first I think to have a reality TV show where the people get hypoxia.
Exactly how many Americans have been killed by terrorism total, in all of human history?
Now... okay, you got that number firmly in your head?
Exactly how many innocent Americans have been killed by POLICE, even as accidents, since we started allowing the police to carry guns?
I think that number will surprise you, because the odds are; you're far more likely to be killed by a member of law enforcement, than you are by a terrorist. Far, far, far more likely.
You think you can change the system from the inside. Forget it. That's not possible anymore. It's too corrupt. There's too much money involved. Try to change the system, and they'll find your body floating in the Potomac. Or they'll just corrupt you, or you'll suddenly be accused of "rape", and they'll even provide a woman to testify against you.
That system cannot be changed by one guy at a time. In order for it to work, there'd have to be a massive overturn of people in congress, all at once, and that's not likely to happen, since the people with the money and connections always stay in office.
Remember that in D.C., there are no republicans or democrats, just millionaires. Republicans are Red, Democrats are Blue, and neither of them give a shit about you.
And when are the Hellfire missles coming?

FAA OKs US UAVs

It's only a matter of time before UAVs are free to fire on civilians, so, at some point, the Hellfire missiles will also be OK'ed by the FAA. I hate to agree with the gun nuts, but if I see a drone, I'm grabbing the shotgun and firing at it.
We will eat insects soon enough in the USA. But it will be mashed to a pulp, processed and reprocessed into "food bars" so that we will not recognize it as eating bugs.
McDonalds will be sure to include a lot of bug in it's "100% pure beef" hamburgers.
With the rising cost of feed, and the rising cost of meat, fast food and processed food will gradually include more and more bug into their mixture that becomes whatever it is we're eating...
" we are going to invade their planets, kill whatever mostly resembles males, rape whatever mostly resembles females, and burn whatever mostly resembels crops? " ------ And don't you think that's EXACTLY what we're going to do when we find another planet with life? The USA invaded Iraq on false pretenses, and basically shot at everyone who wasn't an American. And that's with oversight and real-time news reporting. Can you imagine the havoc we'll create when politicians and the media are 220 million light years away?
Banks have these explosive ink packs that permanently mark everything. They throw them in with the bags of money when they are being robbed. This helps trace the money and often also stains the criminals so that they can be spotted easily.
I suggest anyone planning on parking at the airport to throw a few of these ink packs in the trunk, and then when you get back you make sure to closely question the kid with the purple face.
If the TSA knows you're away, I guess they will soon consider it OK to enter your house/apartment and perform a search. Of course, they will leave a nice note informing you've they've broken in. It will also explain your missing iPad or other desirable electronics. Good luck reporting *that* to the police.
When the hell is the government going to learn that 1984 was not an instruction manual?
The kid killed himself because he downloaded information that *should* be freely accessible in a "transparent" world. Instead, it's a crime to do what he did, and he was threatened with excessive penalties, because "downloading" is apparently a WORSE crime than murder or rape.
Where is the "accountability" here, where the punishment should fit the crime? How has this country become so upside-down?
I agree that the world would not be a better place with vigilante justice, but it needs to be said that, for most people in the US, there really isn't any other kind of justice at all.
That's funny because the year BEFORE Sandy, we had a "Once in a Hundred Year Storm" hit the northeast. And then next year, the exact same thing happened again, but it was worse.
And this year, I expect the weatherman to say the exact same thing....
I'm surprised he didn't get in on this to further tie his horrendous Star Trek movies to something else (as if Cadillacs, Asus notebooks, Burger king, Pepsi, and some kind of Watch weren't enough)....
Although, according to Abram's "canon"; Vulcan has an icy (but habitable) moon, which is the only way Old Spock and Young Kirk could have witnessed the destruction of Vulcan.
What about a "firebomb"? Because of the offices of the woman who recently filibustered the Texas Senate over an abortion bill were firebombed. I don't see Texas in lockdown and performing a house to house search for THAT terrorist!
"Any explosive device" could include the gasoline tank in your car. So therefore, EVERYONE IN 'MURICA has a weapon of mass destruction in their driveway or parked on the street, right?
Got a propane BBQ grill? WMD. Got a can of starting fluid? WMD. How about hairspray? Powdered non-dairy creamer? Under this definition, I probably have a dozen, maybe two dozen WMDs in my home, and so do the rest of you. Everyone is a perp, a potential terrorist and a criminal.
No wonder the NSA is spying on everyone; because according to the government, you're all guilty of high crimes against the people of the United States, and you should all be incarcerated. Notice how you're the victim and the perp at the same time. Makes things nice and convenient.
#1) Booth babes are offensive to the larger population of women, even in the tech industry, there are more and more women present compared to say... the 1990's where it was almost 100% male dominated. In fact, there was a recent story about a female journalist harassed at E3 because it was just assumed by some that any woman at a gaming convention must be 'meat'.
#2) They are as clueless as their looks would lead you to believe. I remember being at a Motorcycle convention, and while that was once a male dominated event, the new market for motorcycles is now women -- but I digress... at the "Vespa" booth (Vespa, of all places, scooters appeal to women!), we had a question about some seriously radical Vespa merchandise (I think I was a cool looking leather bag, or a jacket), and I go to ask what I thought was a saleswoman, but she didn't know anything about what it was or how to buy it, even though she was dressed in Vespa branded attire. Point is; I was interested; but they lost a sale because the lady was apparently hired as decoration, but wasn't trained to even point me to a real salesperson!
If you want to talk to a "digital computer", ultimately, your code has to be translated into on/off (1, 0) pulses. Therefore, the simpler, the better. Unless the author of this article has another type of computer that can understand more complex states than on/off, his entire treatise is bunk.
I know there used to be analog computers, and quantum computing might have states other than on/off, I can't speak for these systems. However, the more common digital computer is what I am referencing.
When China implements the exact same system, the US will criticize it as a human rights violation. And when China decides it also wants to spy on US citizens, the US will call it "hacking".
Hey, NSA... you see what you've done? You've made it so that the very idea of privacy seems 'illegal" now somehow, that if you want privacy, you must be trying to hide something, so now, everyone in the world will want to snoop on everyone else in the world.
Do you see what you've done? You've proven that Ted Kaczynski was *right*.
The USA has never been one to care the least bit about sovereignty when it comes to the political and monetary interests of those in power.
I'm shocked they have not sent in Seal Team Six to raid the embassy, kick in the door and arrest Assange right there, and then transport him away by helicopter where he'll "disappear".
And seriously, Ecuador? What kind of a fight do you think that country could put up against the might of the USA, even if raiding your embassy was an act of war? What American would even care for more than 1 second if Ecuador declared war on the USA? They'd go right back to munching on deep fried pork rinds while watching Dancing with the Stars. It wouldn't even make the news on CNN.
Hell, America has forgotten they are still at war with Afghanistan. It never even makes the news.
Frankly, if they "drone striked" the entire embassy, it would make the news for maybe a week, and then fade away in comparison to all the other government scandals, and it certainly wouldn't be the worst thing on the news. I think Americans would be more upset if Kim Kardashian got married again.
They should sell the RT for $99, just like the HP tablet, and build a user base. I would buy a Surface RT if it was $99, and I don't even like tablets.

That's 'cause they were probably white.
