    Why, when the torrent of the DVD copy comes out they'll just download that too and have first run copy and DVD copy and then when they release the Directors Cut copy with 14 extras seconds of footage that didn't make the final film, then there's the extended version with another 12 seconds of unseen footage and commentary by the 4th assistant caterer and the make up artists hair dresser.

    Don't dismiss a .380 as a useless caliber. At close range it will penetrate, you may not have stopping power but then again nicking the femoral artery would take one how long to bleed out?

    I don't own a gun for protection, I own them because they are fun to shoot make really loud noises explosions in fact and put holes in things. What more could a growing boy ask for?

    For home defense I have a mental map of my house can find my way round in the dark and will use that and whatever blunt object is closest to me. If there's more than 1 intruder I wouldn't want to risk one getting away because he heard me shooting.

    I'd have to disagree, we are just as violent (how can we not be it's in our nature) think we aren't go and watch two children playing and see how long before they physically start fighting. That is a genetic feature programmed into us for survival. Now granted as we've grown older as individuals we have suppressed that side of our nature.

    I also hope you didn't type "much more productive" with a straight face. Are you blind to how lazy we've become? I'd say people were far more productive 100 - 50 - even just 25 years ago than we are today. We may produce more, but long gone are the days we have to grind our own wheat to make flour. Which incidentally frees up more of our time to catch up on Footballers Wives.

    I'd say we are in declined and our reliance on our current way of life will come to bite us in the ass.

    I'd say yes it is covered by the 4th and if it's too vague for you the 9th is worded so it may be covered there.

    I'd say the government using tax dollars to create a repository and every communication is unreasonable. Not even bringing into account the lack of a warrant. If it wasn't covered by the 4th no warrant would ever have been needed for any wiretap.

  21. Re:Can't have it all. on Keeping Your Data Private From the NSA (And Everyone Else) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While in theory I agree. Then again what the government is doing is criminal. Did you not see the /. post yesterday about relational metadata and how it can be used. It was a very interesting read, and I actually did RTFA. It showed how innocuous data mining like this could be used to identify people, in this case the data was used to show how seemingly innocent data could point to potential threats in this case it was Paul Revere.

    I can fully see how this can be used to stop terrorist attacks, but so far we have finger pointing from every corner that says our intelligence community has had prior knowledge of several potential attacks and neglected to follow through. It is far more likely this will be used against law abiding citizens. What if I am a law abiding citizen but I begin speaking out against the injustices the administration is committing in the name of fighting terror and they use my data to pin point and come after me. I've committed no crime other than I could be labeled a terrorist for speaking up for my rights.

    The way I see it it's just another way the government can abuse or circumvent checks and balances that were put in place to protect our rights.

    Do you honestly want your government to know every minute detail of your life?
