Hey, don't get me wrong, I generally agree with you on this. Unlike Anon, you properly read the tone of my previous post as indicated by your reaction.
This group is, in fact, a bunch of whiny narcissists who will be ignored. And I'm fine with them being such.
As far as the when they'll start to care bit, you're right about that too. But we are, of course, dealing with narcissists. I can't come up with any good reason to really care if they're happy or not. These are the people who will demand to know why they can't embed media files on a forum that disallows it, and then whine and try to take their ball and go home when they don't get special permissions to do so. And then be back a month later, still pissed off and wondering why nobody wants to be their friend anymore.
Why would they want to recommend an alternative? If they're like me, they don't want nor need an alternative. It's the companies using them that want these systems. The users really don't care how much botcrap the server takes in.
That's nothing new in effect. The only difference now is that the autonomous entities immune from oversight are no longer attached to formally recognized peerages.
Maybe. I think a majority of Americans might be desensitized to billboards to where only a few people would actually look. apathy is at an all-time high I think.
you seem to be assuming a lot about the objective of my plan. I wasn't proposing an airtight spacecraft with safety mechanisms of any significant kind, nor an actual survivable landing, much less actual colonization equipment. I wasn't even planning to properly chart a trajectory. Iron sights on the current location of Mars or any other convenient star, cloud, or passing jetliner an hour before launch will suffice.
I'm not sure I follow. Your argument seems to be that an ARM tablet can't do what Surface Pro does. My response is that ARM tablets can do a lot, possibly even just as much, with developers backing ARM as a native rather than alternative platform (i.e. Android), as opposed to the redheaded-stepchild approach of Surface RT. The market Microsoft is targeting with Surface Pro may exist, but certainly not in the numbers Microsoft wants to believe in.
When you tried to compare Surface Pro to ARM, mention of RT was inevitable. Especially since RT has tarnished the entire Surface brand.
Everyone's talking about the failed legitimacy of contending nation states. The United States surveillance programmes have been at least getting mentioned and getting some attention from people, who seem to be intentionally taking their social media use into the realm of the bizarre and leaving out a lot of personal information they otherwise would have posted.
I agree with you on the new Magna Carta, but we lack a trustworthy venue to which we could deliver it. It's vital, in my opinion, to avoid a global government. Even founded on the proper and just goals of preserving liberty, such a government could turn sour just as easily as the United States government has. I hope we can elect enough people to restore the constitution out of the ashes of what's left, but looking at how our elections tend to go, it's going to be a rough road.
If you want an elephant in the room, try the lack of outcry over the occupation of Boston over one solitary man.
It's always been the elephant in the room. The only new thing is that it has become obvious to a larger number of people that encryption isn't just an "in case" precaution. Anyone who knows anything about the way the Internet works has been aware for years that nothing is secure unless you both encrypt it and control the only means to decrypt it (either by encrypting it to someone's public key whom you trust or by encrypting it for your own secure decryption later).
So again, the only real change is that the tinfoil hats were verifiably right for once. The question nobody seems to be answering is, what (other than nothing) will the general public do about it? The answer to that is, only as much as they are forced to.
The biggest obstacle to a true email replacement is every online registration under the sun already requires email as we already know it, but offers no alternative, for account communication. Until Facebook logins, which are probably far worse in the long run.
No, what we need is a system of encryption-required communication and a way to proliferate keys in a way that they can be confirmed in some way instead of sent as attachments that could be as false as what they're attached to. And we definitely need email to die as it should have decades ago. It is, by far, the least secure commonly-accepted protocol on the Internet.
The thing is, the ARM tablets do what you expect of them and run basically everything one could want for their respective OSes. That's the problem with the RT, that the programs people would like to have are not available as ARM applications for Win8. ARM itself is not the problem.
The founding fathers didn't write the fourth amendment to protect us from intrusion in our personal information unless the agencies claimed they wouldn't abuse it.
They wrote the fourth amendment because they knew that if the power weren't prohibited, the information would be abused.
And the scary thing is all the legal (and I use the term loosely) barriers they have successfully put in place to prevent the box from ever being opened by placing them in the same boxes.
That's true, but many with different cockpit setups. The 737 classic and NG models have seen a huge jump in technology, even for being largely the same plane.

Similar terms, but they do not mean the same thing.

Welcome to our club! You're late!

It's not merely wasteful. It's also good television.

Your move.
You seem to be making assumptions upon the desired end-result.
If they want it so bad, then by all means, let's toss 'em in a rocket and aim for the Red Planet.
Which NSA facility are you posting from, AC? How's that whole "quickly and easily breaking 4096-bit RSA" thing going?
Which is precisely why we must use it and encourage others to do so.
Bullshit is bullshit no matter how you repackage it.

I only wish it were that good. The patent system is still there, it just only helps the biggest and most favoured of domestic fish.
The difference is, the EFF can cite specific examples and demonstrate actual positive results as a direct effect of their activities.

Seconded. I've been doing this since shortly after the announcement that Google Reader was closing. It's the smoothest RSS system I've used yet.

They'll probably add some lab-grown garlic salt.
