The last scary thought I shall leave with. What if J Edgar Hoover had the NSA's ability to spy on people?
Well, when the head of the CIA refused to take the fall for the President's decision to let a bunch of Americans get killed in an embassy attack, he might, for instance, suddently have been found to be having an affair.
Well, imagine that there are people in the government who are committing a serious crime. Imagine your family member gains knowledge of that. They go to the local paper with evidence.
But it turns out that the government guys know that the newspaper's editor has been having an affair, something they gained knowledge of as part of their innocent little data gathering. In fact, they know something serious about every newspaper editor because, hey, let's face it, everyone has some secrets. And every time something important comes out or is about to come out, the people involved are suddenly embroiled in sex or drug scandals and are discredited.
Now imagine this has been happening since the 1960s.
Thankfully the vast majority those gang-owned guns are already illegal. So I'm sure they'll all disappear soon, because as we all know, criminals always obey gun laws.
I can assure you I would not voluntarily pay out nearly half my income in taxes if there weren't severe consequences for not doing so. I do not believe most people would, either. If you really think you're getting good value for your tax dollar, I think you're nuts.
Yeah, I'm so exploited, making way more than an average wage, working 40-50 hours a week, working from home half the week, doing work I actually like./sob. Not.
If you feel exploited, quit. Go find out what's happening to almost every other profession in the western world. Work for 50 or 60 hours a week for some jackass doing something you hate for half the money you make now. If you can even get a job.
Or stay and try to save some money for when the outsourcing or automation buses take you out, too. A union will just bring the outsourcing bus by a lot faster.
Sure you do. What you shouldn't have is the right to stop other people from doing your job for less than $50 an hour, especially if you're paid by tax dollars in a legally mandated monopoly.
Having observed Americans in action, I don't think we're all that different. Outside of certain select sub-populations, both countries are very law abiding.
In fact, Americans are probably the most used to being told what to do and how to do it, and being abused by law enforcement whenever they don't, of any country in the world.
I love the cloud. I don't have to screw around with hardware and most of the real sysadmin tasks are harder in the cloud than on a real server, at least to do them right. It's perpetual job security. A developer wouldn't know a good configuration management system if it bit him. I take over projects all the time deployed by developers. Hand-crafted config files, no redundancy, no backup. It's hilarious.
Vancouver's about $4.00 for most trips, but Translink's own financials show that only covers about 1/3 the cost. So that should be $12.00, at least. Of course no one would actually pay that so the politicians make property owners and drivers pay most of it through taxes.
Can you point out where in the Republican platform they promise to unwind the police state? Even if somehow Rand Paul becomes President, I don't see where 51 Senators and several hundred Congressmen are somehow lined up to support this.
I've had them do that. They chewed out my wife for having a little jar of jam or something not in a clear plastic bag. So then they put it in a clear plastic bag, which somehow made it "safe".
I'm not really an environmentalist and I never said anything like that. I simply stated the fact that overpopulation is straining water resources. I don't need their resources; I live in Canada - we have more water than we know what to do with.

She obviously didn't do it because she thought he was cheating. She did it because he wasn't being obedient.

Yeah but in your case the rest of the populace gets to choose whether to buy your stuff or not.

Seriously. I don't let my wife use my computer, let alone guests.
Yeah I'm actually pretty familiar with the Paul's. I just can't imagine the current Republican party allowing one of them to run for President.
Guess what - obesity is the only thing on that list that is voluntary.

Sorry, which major party can you vote for that will reverse the police state measures implemented since 9/11?
It's not DNS-specific. DNS just makes a convenient amplification attack possible.
ISPs can and should filter originating traffic to ensure the source addresses aren't forged.
Yeah well this is the same jerk that thought sending assault rifles to Mexican drug lords to try to make guns look bad seemed like a great idea.
Good thing Congress impeached him for that ... doh.
Other than Afghanistan, I believe the drone campaign is most active in Pakistan and Yemen, so presumably that's two.
You don't have anything.

It will be very polite. Completely useless, but very polite.
Which is better than rude and useless.

Yeah dunno. Two of them were Spartan kings, I think. Lysander sounds Greek as well.
I was surprised he didn't show up after Newtown.
