You don't think we could convert the whole global economy into a factory that mass-produces ships that go on suicide-nuke missions? If the rich realize they have no choice but to employ everyone on the planet to save their own sorry asses, we could all be put to work. How many nukes would it take to scatter a comment into less-harmful pieces?
You have provided a moving target via the intellectually dishonest tactic of morphing the original question - Is there privacy - to a new question - Is it exploitable. Shame.
"The road is built, at the highest possible cost to you, the taxpayer, at the lowest quality. It isn't a road at all."
Except here in northern virginia, the main privately-created road, the Dulles Toll Road, had fewer lanes -- and they are narrower -- and costs $2.50 each direction. For me to take it to my job would double my total commuting costs (I've done the math).
So the quality of the road is lower than the government-funded roads I take -- 495, 66 -- and cost to me is higher. And the government-funded road IS actually a road, contrary to your "it isn't a road at all" claim. Nor is the Dulles Toll Road operated by the state, like your claim.
Actually, just this year, they opened up private lanes on 495 that run parallel to the public lanes, and are privately operated. There are fewer lanes and it costs more money (a variable amount depending on traffic demand). The state does not operate those either, private corporations run them. I take the public roads. They are better and cheaper.
So you see, my dear whoever you are, the actual hard truth doesn't always match long, cynical rants. And I say this as a cynic myself.
The roads the government provides me are way more fair than the private toll roads built by private corporations, that require you to spend more on toll than your entire round trip gas price.
Google Reader doesn't bug you to do that anymore than Slashdot [which also has social share buttons] does. Furthermore they let you configure which things are in your 'send to' in your options, so you don't have to have any you don't use!
At least get your facts straight. Maybe the reason Google Reader is closing is because of people like you who leap to conclusions and spout false facts.
"no clarification of the law would happen until a high-profile crime involving a 3-D printed weapon was committed"
Run through my personal translator:
"instead of deciding how things should be, objectively, we want to wait until there are a few corpses we can parade around to make an emotional appeal to garner support to further reduce the rights of the law-abiding.
Hopefully these corpses will be children, because they appeal to people's genetically programmed emotional reactions."
honestly... that sounds really awful. but at least you're stubborn enough to make something you want for yourself, which is more than 99%. Kudos to you.
So your argument is - it's easier to check 3 sites than 1? In a sense, that is true. In another sense, the way you've phrased it is a bit inaccurate. But in another sense, it's pretty damn annoying the hoops you have to jump through to get twitter and facebook on google reader, and Google never even made rss feeds for G+ posts, which was ridiculous. Can't win. Guess we'll have to check 3 sites forever.

Just do the convincing 75 years from now... It'll be easier to do then, too.

So if your door's lock is insecure, that means you have no expectation of me not robbing you? Fucking crazy, man.

Except for the fact that I don't agree, yes we agree.
I would possibly agree if you were able to make a specific point and I understood what it was.

I agree on the first two points. "Entitlements" is a scare term, though. Like "Assault rifles".
The roads the government provides me are way more fair than the private toll roads built by private corporations, that require you to spend more on toll than your entire round trip gas price.
By your logic, I have faith in an encyclopedia. I have faith in the science book I am reading.
It's a debate tactic to try to equivocate faith as being the same as evidence-based belief. Try as you might, the two are not the same.
Your definition of atheism is wrong. Not believing in something isn't the same as believing in not-something.
Your loss. I'd probably nullify it.
I'd say a precursor to getting caught is committing a crime.
I caught myself 2 seconds after posting, realizing I'd read the negative. Derp. See my other comments....
Seriously. I think I was in a blind rage over Google Reader closing. Hopefully this excuse comes up in a major crime sometime.
Shit, I totally read the exact opposite of what you meant. There's no way to delete my previous comment? This is embarrassing. My apologies.
At least get your facts straight. Maybe the reason Google Reader is closing is because of people like you who leap to conclusions and spout false facts.

No, that wasn't a whoosh. He got it, and that was his answer.
....I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. Seems insane from where I'm sitting.
The blender's parts are just algorithms put through a manufacturing process [which someday will be done by 3-d printers].
That doesn't sound as bad as I initially thought :) :)

keep unread? just star it.
