Let's be real, we've had the NSA spying on us for who knows how long, and suddenly, by accident, the IRS is picking on some political groups, medical marijuana (after all, it's a stab in the "war on drugs" policy) and god knows who else? This isn't by accident, this is part of the Governments plot to keep all people down.
Our Government (that is, if you are American) is corrupt. It's using it's power in different offices to harass it's citizens. It's using it's power to harass the world for that matter. Time for some big changes.
You're not proving a point, nor is the "Surveillance Camera Man", because he's not doing this for a few minutes, then stopping and educating the people he's just stalked; he's posting the videos to a web site where he's largely preaching to the choir (us). Do you really think that Geekwire and Slashdot carry any weight whatsoever in the real world?
In addition, it's apparent that you're an antisocial asshole. I fire people like you every day as a tech manager due to your inability to empathize and play well with others.
You talk about empathizing with people then admit that you fire people every day?
Again, my point made.
admit should of been brag, since you are bragging about it. You get a keen pleasure out of labeling people anti-social so you can then fire them and feel good about it.

What happened to them saying he didn't have any secrets, he didn't have access, and that they weren't doing that crap, they were saying it like a week ago.
Did he release the docs he had? How come I feel like there is something missing from then & now?

For every recording he used in his video how many did he have of people who didn't care in the slightest he was recording?
Selective editing can pretty much twist any story.
Who's story? The Surveillance Camera Man records people. He puts the best reactions up on youtube. Why would he want to bore us with people nodding and smiling at the camera?
Any other story is just guessing by the poster of this submission and the article on Geekwire.
Okay, maybe i'm not stoned enough yet (working on it), but what I found amusing was people used dude with a camera as an excuse to be violent. Almost everyone was violent, or at least passive aggressive towards the guy. Even though we know we are being recorded by stores and other things, when a person with a camera gets in our face, people tend to try to do something about it. Why? I'm leaning that there is actually a face associated with this camera. You do into a store, there's a camera or 6 on the wall, but you can't get to them, you can't do anything about them. But the moment a camera appears in your face, with a person holding it, suddenly you have a target to put your frustrations on. And on top of it, people are being violent on a guy recording them being violent. WTF? Not only are you suddenly breaking the law but you are being recorded doing it.
Here's the best part. I bet the person gets people not reacting. They don't make it on to his youtube clips, do they? In other words, if you want to be sure you are seen in youtube if this guy appears, start acting like a twat.
this is what i dont understand...why is there a "need" for all of this. they arent stopping "terrorism" nor are they really using it in a way thats stopping any major crimes. dont get me wrong, i am weird and 100% opposed to all of this. but who are they protecting with all of this data mining?
They are using it to keep themselves in power. That is all. You know the saying Power Corrupts? Well, this is what they are talking about.
First Google was collecting info on me, but I was cool with it, i used their free services. Now every company is collecting info on me, but I'm cool with it, after all, it's for business right? Then the Government request access to the data from the companies, but it's okay, it's for terrorist prevention, right? Then the Government just starting tapping the source and forgets to tell me about it, and I say, wtf? Who said that was okay? Then the Government tells me its in the name of terrorism, and I ask them, why you are terrorizing your own citizens? Then the Government locks me up for questioning them, but you don't know because they don't tell anyone anything.
And there it is...We The People. We bitch, moan, rant and rave, yet pull the same damn lever each and every time. Is it the "devil you know" syndrome, the sheeple principle, general apathy, or some combination of all of the above.
Consider that the 16% rating comes from people thinking the "Congress" sucks, but "by God my guy is doing good...isn't he?" and thus vote him/her back into office. In my case I am in the manority and though I continue to cast my vote for "anything but the above" I'll lose. The system was gamed long time ago and if you'll pardon the pun...The House always wins.
I'm sure that was said about the English Government that used to rule over America. I'm sure the communist party was saying that up until the USSR collapsed. I'm sure the communist party of East Berlin was saying that just until the wall fell down.
Rome used to have a big ass empire, and you had to play by their rules, and what happened to that empire?
It's time for a change and the question is, do you have the balls to step up? Or are you going to make more excuses?
Undermining national security. LOL. What does it feel like to see a threat in every shadow? Everyone is out to get you huh? Careful, the Democratic Republic of the Congo might just get the upper hand and de-stabilize the US before invading it!
Seriously, by fundamentally changing what the US stands for over the last 20-30 years, you have undermined your own national security. There isn't anything left worth fighting for.
The truth is, the US. Government is scared because they have been doing things that the people wouldn't approve for decades. They are scared because they know the house they built is coming down around them, and people are getting tired of it. They are scared because they know when we get sick of it and find out all shit they been doing, we are going to come down hard. They are trying to keep us from doing anything.
Come down hard?! Hmm, no. The American people will continue to ignore what the U.S. government does as long as they keep Hollywood pumping out new episodes of "Ouch! My Balls!" If the American people really gave a fuck, then a Congress with 16% approval rating would be wiped clean rather than the majority of incumbents be re-elected.
So that's your excuse huh? No one else will bother so I won't? No one else cares so why should I? If I recall, the boston tea party wasn't done by the majority of people, it was done by a small handfull, and that started this country rolling. I bet we had people just like you back then, telling everyone it's too hard, no one cares and we shouldn't do anything.

It wasn't the heart operation itself that was the problem, it was the heart condition he needed the operation for. He'd known about it for a long time, but had previously believed it to be harmless. Actually, it had gradually been getting worse. While the long pauses between comics had been bad for quite a while, his situation really became terrible the last half year, because he was *completely* sapped of energy. That's when he saw a doctor and found out the state of things, which led him to have the operation. Sounds like he's been feeling vastly improved.
Okay, i stand corrected. Having had blood clots clogging my system I can understand the sapped of energy part. I guess it's just frustrating when artists (counting authors here also) start something then take forever to finish it/update it/write the next book.
Dude is saying if you download a binary dist that you won't be able to compile the source code to match it? Ya, no shit Sherlock. That is why you download the source code and compile it yourself. While there are trusted sources, you never know what is in binary dist. At least, when you compile it yourself, you can examine the source code.
So, is this guy going to tell us that binary dist can have malware next?
I don't suppose the house is planning to actually pay for the enormous expense of putting a permanent human colony on a different planet? They just want NASA to stop everything else that they're doing and start making manned Mars rockets? Is it any wonder NASA struggles with long term projects, with Congress meddling every year with crazy ideas and budget uncertainty?
If we pulled out of the middle east, stop spending so much money on military, (I know, long shot here), we'd have a nice chunk of money for NASA.
The downloader was already trackable. Bittorrent was never a secure protocol; that's where all those lawsuits got their targets. Knowing who paid for the original copy of the downloaded file changes nothing.
That's what a VPN is for. Seriously, this day and age, you use a VPN for your torrents.
Sure, trolls need to grow up (I know i need to grow up and I like to do my fair share of trolling), but to expect everyone else to change is stupid. This is the internet, this is how it is. You get trolls, fanboys and corporate shrills in forums. If you want to moderate your forums, cool, have fun. But to bitch about it ruining stuff? Really? You just told the trolls that they won by publicly bitching about them.
Apparently it doesn't mean what you think. It doesn't mean senile old person who needs to die and leave the thinking to the younger people. Obvious, by his statement, that is what you think, but apparently dude is supposed to be popular with the rest of the people in his academy and won some important votes by other "senior" follows to become one himself.
Does he know what he is talking about? No. I at first thought it said Senator because when it comes to tech, they know nothing, but apparently it's a dude who should know. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe in the last year they improved the internet in the USA to where I had a choice and I could use fiber optic if I wanted, after all, I'm in a big tech city, Seattle. Pretty much living in the downtown of that city, less then a mile from the city center. Still hardly any choices.

Having a heart operation will do that to a person.
Will it? Seems to be drawing doesn't take much physical energy, and if you are laying around in a bed all day...
But I'm not an artist, so I wouldn't know. But I'm pretty sure the long pauses between comics was going on before his heart surgery.
I haven't checked recently, but last time i did, there wasn't much new stuff in a 2 year period. And that was at least a year ago.
