Yeah, it's not ok for Google to have the data, but it's ok for the S. Korean government to have it. I'm sure they will immediately destroy it (if it exists) and not do any mining of their own. Trust Your Government (tm).
Er, the credit card number does not change when your card is renewed. Only the expiration date and the security number do. The expiry date can probably be worked out, and that just means they have to guess a 3 (or 4 depending on the company) digit security number.
The only money I have on the 'net is the money I have given to my stock broker. So in theory I am "safe", having given my money to the biggest thief of all!
No, my opinion is irrelevant. As is yours. The only relevant opinions are the ones of those who manage to get themselves elected. Therefore democracy doesn't exist except in theory. There is no way that the "people" can force their elected representative to even do the bidding of the majority - much less any minority. It's all about who knows who, who bribes who, and who is willing to do what in order to pursue their own personal interests. The FARCE is that it's all done "in the name of the people".
This is not a new concept. Even Benjamin Franklin said that democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what is for lunch.
All or nothing, black or white thinking eh? I see that the concept of "us" and "them" has been so firmly instilled in your mind. But remember that we have always been at war with Eastasia, and we have always been at peace with Eurasia.
Then explain why people starved in the 1930's? You think African soil is not fertile? Yet people are dying there today. Starvation is an economic problem, not an agricultural one.
Interesting, so the US has ground troops in Pakistan, too? Shall we assume that they have both permission of the Pakistani government and the constitutional blessing of the US Congress for being at war in a FOURTH country...
I would have thought that his death would be kept quiet to keep up the fear of a looming attack. Well, I was wrong.
They don't need him anymore. Now it can be "the Taliban" in Afghanistan (who co-incidentally announced their new offensive today) and "the Regime" in Lybia, and whomever else provides a convenient target. It has been demonstrated that citizens of the so called "democracies" have been sufficiently desensitized that they will accept the bonds of slavery as long as they are fed enough American Idol, Charlie Sheen, Royal Weddings and Nascar/Football/Cricket/etc.
What hasn't changed, however, are the laws of economics. Crude oil is near its 52 week highs (again), and still China's economy grows. They are now Germany's biggest market. All those industrial machines and BMW's are going to need fuel. The war for the last barrels of crude is bound to begin soon as we pass peak oil, and the West is starting with a numerical and financial disadvantage. Technology means nothing when you can't feed your army.
Let alone that it can get an accurate GPS lock under water
I would think that it can't get any sort of GPS lock at all when under water. The red side of the spectrum is the first one to go - guess which end of the spectrum radio waves are on.
Enjoy your rat-feces infested ancient Boeing planes operated by Delta. But don't pick too hard at the chewing gum under the seat because it's holding the plane together.
Painted into a corner? What, like people expect government to actually keep its word anyway? It's impossible for a politician to "paint himself into a corner", he'll just wiggle and squirm his way out of it. If the European Commission decides to let itself be bound by this "fact", it's because it's what they wanted to do in the first place.
Or have two recorders that both do voice and data, to provide redundancy. But remember that the civil aviation regulation is still stuck perhaps not in the biplane era, but somewhere close.
Better yet, why don't they just stream the information continuously to a satellite... yeah it costs money - now how much does an Airbus at the bottom of the ocean cost again?
Oh I see. You are "poor" yet you have computer access, internet, and can troll on slashdot. I live in the third world, buddy, where there ARE no foodstamps, there is certainly no medicaid, and people are lucky if they have electricity and running water. So take your fake "I can't afford the things I want" poverty and shove it up your arse. REAL poor people can't afford to go to school. Period.

And do they get 72 power supplies?

A traitor to Al Qaeda for provoking the US government into killing UBL quickly, you mean? I'm confused. How does this betray US interests?
Belong too? Another victim of Muphry's Law.

This is what happens when someone manages to jump the fence of your "walled garden".

Fair enough. But you will live to see it.

We are on the continent of farm land.

But they said they are sorry, so that makes it ok, right?
Funny, I've had no problem with linux and my HP printer. No fiddling required, it worked straight out of the box.

There's a little bit more to the Code Napoléon than that. It's actually a quite civilized system. But remember that Napoleon was the bad guy.

I have trouble finding my car keys some days.
I'm sure if you spent a couple dozen million dollars, you would find your car keys very quickly.
or the Delta 60 miles ahead.
You mean instead of carrier pigeons, carrier RATS? Couldn't resist, considering a recent story about Delta.
Great, now friendly fire will be so much more precise.
