I've seen footage from CCTV cameras in city centres. they're high resolution, colour, and they can pan and zoom.
the fact you can have access to any footage means that it's not a "conspiracy behind closed doors". if you want to know what they have of you, ask them and they must tell you.
smoking is bad for the smoker, but also for other people. as well as being unhealthy, it diverts NHS funds. driving is also bad, causing lots of pollution, and with so many cars and trivial journeys the roads are becoming full.
"I can understand the argument that child porn is something we'll just need to accept if we want to allow true freedom of speech"
then surely you understand that 9/11 is something you'll just need to accept if you want to allow true freedom of movement?
don't be stupid. child porn has NOTHING to do with freedom of speech. it is a crime to produce it in the first place, hence stopping its distribution is not a violation of freedom of speech. just like being arrested for being a drug dealer wouldn't be a violation of any right to do business. if your "religion" says murdering non-believers is the work of god, are you allowed to do so under the 1st amendment?
1. find a troll 2. label them "lefty" 3. ask them for more info 4. assume they won't give it 5. declare victory for the "right" 6. ??? (probably some form of persecution) 7. profit
unlike him, I don't believe in freedom of speech as an absolute. imo, he's the "western" equivalent of religious fundamentalists/suicide bombers.
the FAQ for freenet basically says unless you tolerate child porn, you aren't a true believer as if belief in Freedom of Speech (his capitalisation) is morally superior.

moving towards Free software. I have Firebird and Thunderbird and a Free file player was next on my list. so horray. but where do I get it?
maybe you should actually read the thread, retard. the original poster was whinging there was no use for this so I pointed out one of the uses you'd see if you actually RTFA.
nobody mentioned men in black or privacy but you. I don't know what your problem is but I suspect medication would be a good idea.
"The technology behind Zephyr could be used as a communications platform for mobile phones in remote areas, or disaster zones, or even by the military for surveillance."
"Should the suits fail at 35,000 feet (10,668 metres) Andy and Colin would lose consciousness. At 80,000 feet (24,384 metres) the pilots would die within a matter of seconds, as the low pressure would make their blood boil almost immediately."
yep, and your face on CCTV is obviously a million billion kazillion times more intrusive than your credit card number recorded by the train station, or your license plate recorded by the petrol pump...
"The space plane will have only two missions: to carry people up and down from the space station, and to act as a standby lifeboat, parked at the space station for the evacuation of astronauts if there is an emergency."
But what about when the shuttle repaired Hubble? will this kind of mission be no longer possible?

this is even more useful if you use Firebird browser - it has a google bar in the top right hand corner next to url bar.
it acts as a shortcut to the 1st link of a search ("feeling lucky").

why are people so fucking scared of cameras!?
if you were in trouble, wouldn't you be glad it was there?
the only people who have any reason to worry are those who CAUSE trouble.
and don't forget the law means that YOU CAN HAVE ACCESS TO ANY FOOTAGE OF YOURSELF.
I wouldn't care if they introduced mandatory ID cards either. I have no reason to worry about being identified.
I drive but don't smoke. I don't care about taxes. I'd like them to be higher, since both are bad for other people.
we thought you'd arranged it. they were wearing overalls.
overalls!?

it was boring and stupid
..."we need to accept [bad thing] to have [good thing]" strikes me as being very small minded.
it may be more difficult, expensive, take longer etc., but a better solution will usually exist.
and when it comes to things such as free speech and child porn, I for one hope politicians do not opt for the "quick'n'easy" option.

happy...?
and I don't like the fact that cut'n'pasting new scientist is a cheap way to get articles.
why not just put a header on the science section "READ NEW SCIENTIST" ?
it might have been worthwhile if the submitter could have been bothered to link this with anything else...
maybe editors should reject any article whose only link is to another site's article?

privacy.... in public.... hmmm.... "interesting"
"The space station exists because of the need to give the shuttle a purpose"
lol
er, no they actually said it well before 9/11, you insensitive retard
and remote control is good.

there can be a difference (as there usually is) between what businesses pay and what individuals pay and their licenses.
it happens all the time.
where have you been?
it is not a problem.
ever downloaded a program that said "free for non-commercial use"?
did you die a painful death screaming in agony about how hard it was to understand what was going on?
you are looking for difficulties that do not exist.
