Imagine a world where there were multiple standards for cigarette lighter^W^W accessory power connectors, and how different the market for accessories would be. Im surprised that car manufacturers, whose product development cycle is quite lengthy, are willing to accomodate proprietary (and likely fleeting) technologies.
"Tyrant judge"?! He was applying the law. A bad law in the opinion of many people, sure, but nonetheless crystal clear in its scope and effect. Are you saying the judge should have not applied the law? That he should have ignored the statute and made up his own rules? You're in favor of "activist judges"?
Note also that the hypnosec didn't "write" this submission - like the vast majority of submitters s/he simply copy& pasted the first two paragraphs from the fine article. In other words, both submitter and slashdot admin either didn't read it, or have terrible reading comprehension skills. Probably both.
you want to destroy a representation of the records, but keep them in storage somewhere?
I was more imagining the records fashioned into a Wicker Man style construction, with Clapper, Alexandar et al as the soft centre. I'd be tempted to do some chanting and dancing around that
Enjoyed your post. I want to hear more about how the nest "mysteriously exploded and fell from its branch". Was that around the time you learned how much their sting hurts, by any chance?
Regardless of your imaginings about Greenwald, this latest release is nothing to with him or the Guardian, but comes from another newspaper the Independent. Snowden and the Guardian strongly dispute that Snowden's materials are the source of the Independent's story, and claim that the UK government itself must be the source of this particular material.
The important story here is not that there's more secret surveillance, it's that the Independent claims that the story is based on materials from Snowden, and he and the Guardian flat-out deny that. The obvious implication is that the UK government itself "leaked" the material to the Independent, to create an appearance of potential danger to people arising from "the Snowden disclosures", a type of release that Snowden and the Guardian have strenuously avoided.
EU nations have managed to put up a full service light rail system connecting all your major cities, in an area about as large as the five boroughs of NYC.
The area of NYC is somewhere between 650 sq.km and 950 sq.km, depending on how you measure. There are 44 European countries larger than 1000 sq.km - NYC is only larger than Andorra, Malta, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco and Vatican City. Even the 44th largest on the list, Luxembourg, is more than two and a half times bigger than NYC.
Everybody knows what the outcome will be before the vote is taken
That may be ordinarily true, but the fact that the White House vocalised opposition In an emergency statement on Tuesday, and the NSA director spent four hours lobbying Congress behind closed doors, shows how worried the authorities were about this amendment.
NSA agents are not allowed to eat cookies. However, they may take items from the cookie jar and place them in their mouths to determine whether they are cookies. Any cookies which are inadvertently swallowed may be retained.
Both sides are lying, but the truth isn't in the middle - it's off on a tangent that no one talks about.
There have recently been a flurry of scandals from DC, all showing up at a time when Benghazi was starting to be looked at very closely
You're really trying to claim that the Benghazi "scandal" - where USG allegedly didn't quickly enough label an incident as terrorism - is way more serious an issue than a massive program of covert surveillance? So serious that revealing the NSA's secrets is a useful distraction? There has been plenty of partisan smoke blown over the revelations, but yours is the most ridiculuous I've seen.
I had a point to all this that I think I've lost
I think it is the plot, rather than the point, that you have lost. Well, that and your constitutional rights. At least your sig got it right.

Tell that to Marty the Marmot
It has been noticed that since this sweetheart deal, typing "Conservatives are" into google doesn't throw up any suggested searches (contrast with those suggested for "Labour are" and "Libdems are"). Correlation is not causation of course, could just be a happy coincidence.
It was also illuminating that he doesn't know how much he himself is paid.
It's ok, they won't be here furlong
According to Wikipedia, the poorest state is Mississippi with a per capita GDP of $28,900. Depending on whose figures you use, the UK has a per capita GDP of between $37,000 and $39,000, which would rank the UK somewhere around #32 out of 50 states. Or were you not talking about GDP?

At 5 volts, 100 Watts is a current of 20 amps. That's a lot of current for such small connections.
True. But maybe the article just chose poor links, because federal judge Richard Leon ruled that bulk phone record collection is illegal.

I've heard that the definition of a Scottish gentleman is one who knows how to play the bagpipes, but refrains from doing so.

Splitter!
What we really need is a kill switch on the DHS, and the other out-of-control TLAs

The FISC, acting as a Star Chamber as it does, is part of the problem here, so quoting its ruling is begging the question. Secret law is not law.

I think the nearest equivalent would be a D-Notice

That he is a patriot whose loyalty is first and foremost is to his country, and not to his "superiors" who have shredded its constitution?

Do you believe that, for example, google search prediction-as-you-type is using a keylogger? It is keylogging, it's just that it's server-side.
