Not just "smoke-filled." That shit was tear gas. Good luck shooting when you can't keep your eyes open and you have foot-long trails of snot pouring from your nose.
or the 30 million Jews that were murdered by Hitler
Nice. You not only Godwin the discussion but you miss the number by a factor of five. Hitler murdered 6 million Jews, not 30 million. So I'm not really inclined to read past that point of your post.
Last time I checked, my undergrad EE program received 0 female applicants my year. What do you think we should have done about that?
Have you tried actively recruiting young women into your undergrad EE program? Of course they're not going to apply if they don't know the program exists.
Why is it not opt-in? And why are we seemingly giving Google a pass for something that's opt-out when we'd hold any other company's balls in the fire for it?
This sort of thing is going to spark widespread international hatred for the United States.
Judging by the U.S. government's actions since... well, since 1954, they really don't give a shit. The United States is like the honey badger of the community of nations.
Don't be an idiot. GPS receivers don't broadcast -- that's up to the satellites, which transmit timing and location data on two separate bands (three for newer GPS-IIR and IIF satellites).
So if the drones are flown by CIA, or Air Force there is a problem.
But what if the Air Force or CIA only flies the aircraft, while another entity (e.g., the FBI) actually conducts the law-enforcement activity? The "fusion center" method is what the government has gone with previously for cyberspace operations, if my memory serves.
This government knows that the populist uprisings are going to eventually come to our shores, this is why they're bringing the troops home, this is why there have been so many laws restricting the rights of American citizens as of late...
I know folks in the military who are hoping and praying they are never put in the situation you imply here, because they don't want to have to make the choice between taking arms against the citizens they serve or taking arms against their government.
The difference between the U.S. and China is that (for the time being) Americans are still allowed to talk about how they hate their government. Whether the system prevents them from doing anything is a different story, but we can at least talk.

what is the right answer then?
Become a lawyer and specialize in class-action lawsuits.

No, making a spelling error while professing to use decent grammar is not an example of irony.
It is, however, an excellent illustration of Muphry's Law.

The media today isn't the press of 1890s. They're not there to report the truth, they're simply trying to make a buck like the rest of us.
The "press of the 1890s" started the Spanish-American War. I'd say today's media isn't too far off.
YHBT.
He loses the election without women, so he make sure that the right wingers end up on the wrong side of every women's issue.
The GOP isn't making him work very hard on that front, now, is it?
Sexual orientation is genetic, dumbass. Nice try, though.
But piracy really is a huge First World problem.
FTFY.
Do you not suppose that GP would have gotten downmodded if he has made the same remark about black people? Or Mexicans? Or any other group of people?
Do people choose to be Mexican or black? No. So thanks for proving the GP's point.
Of course if he'd done all that and had a really good password, they would have been SOL, either way.
Obligatory xkcd: "Security."
So they say. I didn't notice any famous scripture that mentions taking money from other people in order to be generous with it.
"Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." -- Matthew 19:24

Oh, good, that's still working. [/GLaDOS]
Coming next, Sony demos batteries that charge you by the volt.
Well, at least then the price would stay fixed, because the voltage doesn't change.
It has only caught on in sound bites from MAFIAA, therefore I don't accept the redefinition.
Um, it's what software pirates were calling themselves back in the '80s. So whether you accept it doesn't really matter.
Better yet, point it to a website that has one of those SOPA takedown notices.
For example, today I get to tell a History teacher that he cannot show MLK's 'I have a dream' speech in a lesson because it's under copyright still ...
You might want to read Section 110 of the U.S. Copyright Code before you actually say something that stupid.

Or go back to the gangs they were in before they joined, taking their military training with them. Actually, that's probably already happening.
