This is the tragedy - as long as the government doesn't go for the guns, the populace will never use their guns for their intended purpose. It sends a wonderful message to government that the guns will never be used against them as long as they don't try to take them. That means they can screw the country over as much as they want (short of taking guns), without threat of resistance. Yaaaaaay.
Nope. You are referring to one extrapolation a journalist made, when they assumed all streets in the UK have as many cameras as a single inner-city street. This has led to the commonly-spread, factually-inaccurate, rarely-refuted meme of Britain being drenched in state-owned cameras. It's patently untrue. The vast majority of cameras are in private hands, watching their property for thieves and/or vandals, etc. They are also covered by EU data protection regulations (for now), which are squarely on the side of the data subject (the public in this case).
I don't, so you are incorrect that we all know. How about making a real argument as opposed to relying on obviously-nonsensical generalisations and appeals?
So you think it's acceptable for people do stop believing in scientific findings because of what people do with them? Why not try to change the system which allegedly perverts scientific findings? Or is that too difficult, so "fuck science"?
You are making massive, sweeping generalisations of millions of opinions and concluding they are all identical. That would explain why you crafted such an adept strawman. Let me help you:
Climate change: Science! You can challenge the data all you want, but if you can't use the scientific method to do so, don't be upset if you are rightfully ignored! This is how science works.
Nuclear power: It's expensive as all hell, many people don't want them around, and they can't be placed in areas of high tectonic activity. Dealing with waste in an efficient manner requires massive expenditure, either on approving designs for breeder reactors (which takes a long, long time), or on creating a waste storage site in a location people are happy with. Some greens/left-wingers/liberals/people-you-seem-to-hate are scared of it, but not everyone.
It might help for you to understand the world you live in as opposed to simply guessing how you assume your phantom opponents think and behave, and getting it woefully wrong for all to see.
"They"? No, "they" didn't. Global warming and climate change are two distinct things. The increase in average global temperature is called "global warming", and the changes to the climate this causes are called "climate change". I can see how you are having problems, seeing as both terms explain precisely what they mean.
He is a senior engineer/architect/fruitloop, you dolt! Show him the respect he so obviously craves! Keep your knowledge of basic geography to yourself!
It does pose a threat, however. If their planes are flying just above stall speed in order to concentrate their dispersion on a given area, any sort of bird strike or drone strike will be catastrophic, as the plane will have precisely no way of countering it. This is the reason why - these are not jets at cruising altitude and speed whisking people off to Barbados, but large planes flying lowly and slowly, brimming with water.
Naaah the experts are idiots and some anonymous muppet on Slashdot has all the facts!
If all it takes for you to disregard the massive body of evidence behind AGW is someone saying something you don't like, you are terrible at this. I bet your post sounded awesome in your head, but on the screen it is laughably naive.
And if you were operating in the EU and those tapes contain personal information (including drafts made and never 'sent'), you'd be in violation of EU law and liable for some rather strict punishment.
There is absolutely no evidence supporting your claims. It is far more likely they are just trying to audit some important, widely-used open source software. It has nothing to do with posturing, Britain, or other EU members.
The definition of editor is "person responsible for the final content of a publication", so "super users who can post articles" is precisely a type of editor. Whether they do a good job or not is a different issue, but the role's name of "editor" is perfectly apt.
So its loudest supporters include a notorious spammer known for making poor choices (like spamming Slashdot). I don't know if you thought your input would help Pascal's image, but it certainly hasn't:)
You should probably push for strong data protection laws and then this wouldn't even be a question. Or stop buying and using technology. One of the two should work:-P

Not really. You can use a TAN generator with your chip card to secure online payments.
Nope. It's how debit and credit cards work in countries with a more modern approach to banking.

It hasn't been steady, and that evidence shows that AGW is indeed something troubling. Your ignorance is not evidence.

Flynn's? :-P

The actor who played Vader (David Prowse) has a very strong south-west English accent, something that most definitely can not be described as "thin".

Only a handful of those were ever produced, and only one or two are even airworthy at this point.
Only 2 of those were ever made... This thing is entering mass production.
I see you have to resort to banality when you can not admit a mistake or defend your argument. You're not helping your cause one shred.
You should get some decent data protection laws and then you'd have a chance.
And yet another possibility: The person used a draft message and not a sent message, rendering that document's content irrelevant.
And if you were operating in the EU and those tapes contain personal information (including drafts made and never 'sent'), you'd be in violation of EU law and liable for some rather strict punishment.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the "uncanny valley" phenomenon.
