Based on historical records, astronomers say the sun this fall ought to be nearing the explosive climax...Researchers are puzzled...'Given our current understanding of how the sun varies and how climate responds, were the sun to enter a new Maunder Minimum, it would not mean a new Little Ice Age,' says Judith Lean.
So, the sun is behaving differently than any other time in it's recorded history. Researchers don't know why. But Judith Lean feels comfortable stating conclusively what effects this unknown, unexplainable change might have.
Why do you artificially limit it to "big corporations?" Are you fine with anyone but big corporations recording and selling your conversations? Perhaps you simply shouldn't discuss things in public which you don't want to be public.
Google was simply building a location database which associated WiFi MAC addresses with GPS coordinates. The easiest way to do that is simply pcap WiFi while recording GPS coordinates and timestamping both, for post-processing. It takes extra effort to only grab control traffic, ignoring the data. For their purposes, it doesn't matter if encryption is on or not. Although they would have gathered traffic for unencrypted networks, that's not what they were interested in.
Then Granny has a problem, because there are people with intentions much more evil and much more secretive than Google who will be sniffing her wireless.
The Tea Party isn't a formal organization. Anyone who claims to speak for the movement is lying. A very large number of those who claim to be part of / support it are simply opportunistic leeches who jumped on a bandwagon as it passed by, and are now shouting their own message. That would be those like Sarah Palin, who actually supported TARP, one of the impetuses for the start of the Tea Party movement.
And, to your point, it takes two to tango - either side of the aisle could have stopped the shutdown at any time. They are equally to blame.
If you don't want people receiving the wireless signals you broadcast, either don't broadcast them, or shield them so they don't escape. If you only care about the content, encrypt them.
Maybe they should do all their hiring in Lake Wobegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."
This. Older fuel hoses crack and split, older cars may have received little/no routine maintenance other than enough to keep them running, etc.
OTOH, you could also limit the comparison to cars costing twice the average price of cars when new - those might be expected to receive better maintenance.
What do they get in return? They can expect a class action suit. Here's part of their explicit Privacy Policy:
What is Personal Information? Information that identifies or reasonably can be used to identify you...We don't sell your Personal Information to anyone for any purpose. Period.
Now, the article does say "it does not disclose the identity of the Americans and 'masks' several digits of their phone numbers," but admits "the agency can refer such masked numbers to the F.B.I., which can issue an administrative subpoena requiring AT&T to provide the uncensored data." In my mind, that makes even masked data information which "reasonably can be used to identify you."
"like the electron, or semiconducting, or liquid crystals, or imaginary numbers."
None of which were discovered through by a government program like NASA (Cambridge Univ., Bell Labs, antiquity, respectively). Thanks for supporting my point.
Our lives are better for finding this exactly how?
Hey, I'm all for people who are interested in knowledge for knowledge's sake seeking it. But this is paid for by taxpayers. Where's the justification behind extracting money by force to pay for this? Can I get a research grant to study the effects of a radical increase of income on a middle class citizen (me, say give me $1 million a year to see what happens)?
And no, this is not a troll or flamebait - it's justified, rational criticism.

Exactly. Science requires testable hypothesis, that applies to neither.
"A pet peeve with cars is the stupid engine light that gives no clue what the problem is."
That's by design. You can thank US government regulations, which require the MIL to light for a wide range of emissions related issues.
"A door is a jar," "The car is a flame," it's the same, only different.
1) Buy Tesla car.
2) Short Tesla stock.
3) Burn Tesla car.
4) ???
5) Profit!

The phone company is a poor example. They make use of public rights-of-way for private commerce, and are subject to regulation in exchange.

Starting right out with ad hominem simply discredits any minor point you may have been trying to make.

which thinks it can regulate the laws of physics.

Your ignorance of politics is striking.
Maybe they should do all their hiring in Lake Wobegon, where "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."
Whoosh. You were never were much good at analytical thinking.
How hard is it to then run the PR back through qualified editors for final review? That they don't is another strike against.
This. Older fuel hoses crack and split, older cars may have received little/no routine maintenance other than enough to keep them running, etc.

Which only means that the Duke Pratt School of Engineering has just discredited itself. Maybe they should work on making orgone accumulators, instead.

I'm not clicking that, but am happy that Two Girls, One Cup, or whatever it is made your life better.
LOL. Rationalization at its finest. Kudos.
Didn't Paul Verhoeven also make Showgirls? Upon further reflection, that one was about man's inhumanity to women.

They know who's "it."
Thinkofthechildren. This policy is obviously intended to make them use condoms - no touching!
