    You're not forced into these contracts. No one is forcing you to buy their product.

  5. Re:Why is this a big deal? on FAA Bill Authorizes Surveillance Drones Over US · · Score: 1

    Maybe we don't explicitly support them spying on us from aircraft, but they do. So now they can do it via remote control. I'm not saying I support it, I just don't see a difference. What we need is a law that requires a warrant for any surveillance activity.

    Part of the problem is that this is saying the are authorizing surveillance drones, but in actuality it is the FAA catching up with unmanned drone technology in general.

  6. Why is this a big deal? on FAA Bill Authorizes Surveillance Drones Over US · · Score: 1

    They can spy on you from helicopters or high altitude manned aircraft, so why is it that everyone is up in arms about unmanned aircraft? I would love to see anti-spying without a warrant legislation, but this just doesn't seem to be any worse than what is already happening.

    Maybe this will start a push for us to not have to pay for incoming calls.

  14. Re:Check out this Mac Mini "Review" on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1

    That has to be a joke... oh please say it's a joke. Either that or it is one of the clueless consultants I deal with regularly. You tell them the switch port is bad and after reinstalling XP, replacing their ethernet card and then formatting and reinstalling XP again, they finally listen and plug the cable into another port on the switch. After all of this they blame it on us, the ISP.
