You seem to think oppressive means totalitarian. It doesn't.
Oppressive just means oppressive. Why don't you look it up, instead of thinking it means something else.
I can oppress you and admit to it. I can even admit its wrong. Telling your citizens to report each other for being suspicious is step one to being oppressive. Tapping phone lines is a big step too.
Google for it, your TV has lots of config options. I've never had text problems on my projector with HDMI -- everything's gorgeous and stable at 1080p.
The gp meant that each computer on a wired network has a fully switched connection to each other without bandwidth interference. On wireless in any form, you *also* have to deal with interference, not just overall bandwidth availability.
Look up public transit in Toronto or Ottawa Ontario... Ottawa actually has private roads only for buses (no cars allowed) to keep them speeding along in rush hour.
I drive about 50-60Mm a year (thousands of km)... or about 30+ thousand miles a year. That's been my average for ten years or so.
In that time, I've been rear-ended once (he apologized profusely and I didn't bother claiming the insurance, it was barely a bumper dent), and side-swiped once (nice mini van driver claimed she couldn't hear me on the horn as she merged my car into a parked vehicle, wrote off the car).
What's crazy is anyone claiming those two collisions make me a worse driver in any way (notably, my insurance company didn't think so and left my premiums alone).
As I recall, the US now basically holds the position that anyone can break American law anywhere in the world and may be prosecuted for such as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
I'm certain someone else can come up with chapter and verse...

The right to bear arms is meaningless without the ability to effectively use them against your oppressors.
Define oppression the way some of us do, and your argument falls flat.

I purposely bought a projector with all major video inputs (including HDMI, component and VGA).
Security, privacy and reliability to name three reasons to stick with wires.

That's for random distribution, which driver collisions are not.
The odds of being in a collision increase as you drive ... period.
lol (oh crap, drone)
Don't forget KD ...
Reminds me of people complaining what the next Playstation or Xbox will look like. Who cares?
That's with either no dressing or minimal dressing. Addthe dressings most people will be eating on that salad for a real number.

Jeez.
Honestly, I'd miss the Play Store and G+ ... However all my E-mail is done with K-9 and navigation with Waze (which is soon to be Google I understand).

The USA has a black budget of $52 billion for 2013.
There are 50 countries in the world with total national budgets of at least $52 billion, so only those could possibly compete (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_government_budgets_by_country)
Considering the UK spends just $4 billion on MI5 + MI6 https://www.mi5.gov.uk/home/about-us/who-we-are/funding.html ... I'd say the CIA is pretty 'well funded' in comparison.
Make him tune into Canadian election coverage for a few hours and he'll figure out what left really means.

I've been recommending to clients to use GPG to encrypt their backups to the cloud for a very long time now for simple hacker-proofness, NSA aside.
It shocks me that these cloud companies are storing private data online for people in the first place.
The problem with airbags is whiplash ... not impact.
Can you imagine if you had a political system that allowed someone like that a fighting chance?
