Me: "Hello, Kodak? Yes, I'd like to buy one of your printers as long as you don't spam me with ads." Kodak: "Sure, not a problem. We aren't like HP." Me: "Awesome, I'll take ten."
Of course that wasn't a real conversation, but if I had the money for ten printers, you better believe I'm giving my money to Kodak (or Canon, Canon makes good printers).
Just playing a little devil's advocate in response to the way the thread was going. Someone was going to ask it (and lose karma over it, apparently).
It's a good question of any agency, though, even if the NSA only deals with electronics, they are a secretive three letter "intelligence" agency. They need to have a light shining on them.
Actually I do. I can provide good, consistent alibi's for 90% of the time I am awake.
It is, but so was the gp's. If the NSA is as good as everyone says they are, of course there won't be any serious, credible proof of their involvement. Therefore I would be more interested in examining proof of their non-involvement.
Also, I disagree with the moderation given to the OP.
The CVIS project is in the midst of undergoing field trials in Europe, and Audio has recently deployed 15 test vehicles in a similar project.
I believe you mean Audi. From the article:
Audi has been conducting research into intelligently controlled traffic for several years in a project known as “travolution.” Among other objectives, the project aims to enable cars to communicate with traffic lights in order to provide smoother traffic flow and reduced CO2 emissions. The company last week released a statement describing the project and reporting on its progress.
Well, secret documents aren't a natural right so it's a social contract, one which depends on my consent to be governed, a consent which cannot be freely given until at and past the age of reason.
The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, or America/mrk/) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district.
I don't remember agreeing to no such social contract, nor that I have ever agreed to such. A free and democratic society wouldn't have need of secret documents.

It was a couple of years ago when I had my Canon BJC-2100 bubble jet. Nice printer, never jammed.

I'm sure she would.

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.
sorry for over-reacting than.
Do you have any that show the NSA isn't involved with that in some way shape or form? Didn't think so.
Tell that to my PhD'd English professor.
Did I even imply that (for I sure as heck didn't say that)?
Oh no. I haven't forgotten. :p
toward*
The word has no plural.
Good point, though.
Unfortunately though I see road-rage going up as people do not get to places as fast as they want.
Twenty years from now people are going to be sitting around going "How the fuck did people navigate this mess manually? Were they insane??"
Yes, yes we are. :p
So much for the "Don't text and Drive" billboards, now we'll have don't "4Chan and Drive" or "/b/ and Driving = Death you friggin B'tards"

Should we be warning them?!
It's ok. I almost typed Audio before my quote. :p
That would have been good, too.
Too bad they didn't go with FreeBSD.

Go go police state!
