Actually, the situation is peripheral to the plot. I like to imagine that the story will stand on its own. Shitfests are a lot easier to sell to the suits though.
Jeez those fucking ACs can get disgusting, eh. I think they make a point: a lot of people are going to think this is a good idea, because they are stupid and believe that their fears need addressing. This is a major plot point in a dystopian screenplay that I'm working on BTW, and I actually think it is an inevitable feature of our future lifestyle.
I'm just a small cog in a big machine, and don't see too much of the action, but I do work the polls each election. (And vote as well, not that any of that makes a difference.) AFAICT it would be IMPOSSIBLE to "bribe a bunch of the counters", as the old protocols were carefully developed to prevent cheating. Every act has to be witnessed by several or all of the poll workers, citizens are encouraged to watch the poll workers, and we all watch each other. (I do kind of resent the way MOST of the poll watchers act towards me, I'm not personally involved in anybody's conspiracy scheme to usurp power and rule the world. Honest injun.) I suppose that in some precincts in America, some corrupt individuals could hijack part of the results at some level. Statistically unworrisome, to me. One of the CANDIDATES gets elected every time, so nothing can be done anyway. The problem I see is Diebold's resistance to allow fair protocols to be instituted for the new technology. As a group, I believe/. readers can see well that the new protocols have opened a window for fraud, and will be/have been abused.
I've never been to Libya, in fact, I've never even known anyone who was from there. I did read Col. Qadafi's Green Book, and he advocates open elections, and IIRC, it is required for every adult male to cast a vote. (Women are NOT qualified, BTW.) These votes are cast in a town hall meeting, and everyone has to stand up and justify why they vote the way they do. It is to ensure that folks don't capriciously vote incorrectly without good cause. I reckon it makes for a lovely plurality, and probably has gotten the Colonel unanimous landslide re-elections every time. Do you think this is an improvement we need to make?
I'd like some more very-high-resolution bits spliced in, more res in general. I guess the extra data costs extra cash. I know I can't afford any shots of Usk, B.C. on my pay.
I've found mineral springs &c. that are not indicated on USGS maps. It is good to see visible the places I can identify from my own travels It is very interesting to look at deer/elk/human trails from the sky.
I've never actually priced components for my cruise missile, but I don't think you can cheap together an anti-aircraft missile from any of the usual sources. About an order-of-magnitude ahead of civilian tech. It'd be far cheaper to pose as a terrorist and score a proper unit from a rogue arms dealer.
Prior to this revelation, all my comparisons of the products of AMD and Intel have been based on engineering factors, despite a personal grudge that I have had against Intel, which I have disregarded as it is PERSONAL. Now, I have a corporate image perception in which the dial has moved to the "evil" end of the scale. Sadly for Intel, engineering matters will no longer be the sole basis for my purchase decisions. OTOH I've recently purchased another 3-pack of xp64-sp2, and MS has had the dial pegged at the "egregious" end of the scale for years.
Almost as old, and more effective for long range/aerial targets. The.50 BMG. Quite stunning, really, if you compare the work of John Browning to EVERYTHING that has happened since.

Arlo got it.
Non-accountability is primary on their agenda.
"White House spokesman Tony Fratto said he has no reason to believe any e-mails were deliberately destroyed."
"White House spokesman Tony Fratto said he has no intention to admit any e-mails were deliberately destroyed."
There, fixed it.
One of the CANDIDATES is sure to get elected anyway. Nothing can be done, unfortunately.

There you go, fixed it.
The tone of the report seems so factual. This is the hardest I've laughed since Jon Stewart had to start writing his own stuff.
"Wanted criminals have always been second-class citizens."
Non-Law Enforcement have always been second-class citizens. There, fixed it for you.
Yep, just linking the databases folks, nothing to see here.
Wow, if I ever wear out my old keyboard, there might be a worthy replacement!
I like to study EE cups. You took a class? Sounds like an interesting major.
Looks like a collector's item. It is amazing how much of this sort of neolithic kit I have stashed in my attic.

The code didn't work, but Lin took the bold precaution of not properly labeling it as "maliciouscode.exe". Save the children!
pffft.

I thought the Hubble was just a cheesy civilian knock-off of our intelligence satellites.
Hasn't this been a mainstay of movies forever?

I think you have a pretty clear argument there for why corporations are inherently evil.
