Thanks to RFID and GPS, they won't need to build more prisons--they can just make each home into one. Fantastic! Busted on a bullshit technicality? Confined to your home, but you can leave with the permission of your new overlord parole officer and forms filled out in triplicate.
Just wanted to say I enjoyed your blog and have bookmarked it for further entertainment. Your ideas echo nearly verbatim many of the thoughts that I have had about these subjects but am too busy + lazy to blog them. So cheers, keep it going! BTW, you are a hardware engineer so it may be "trivial" to you but not all. Schematics and parts list would be a neat idea if they really are that simple:)
I think the phrase "You've got to be kidding me..." has run through my brain more times in the last 4 years than any other time I can remember. From dumbass Atkins, MPAA, RIAA, decency on television gestapo FCC tactics, and this McCarthy in reverse Patriot Act....the list just keeps on. How can anyone say so what if they know what I'm reading? I don't do anything illegal. What about when they decide that you are now going to be investigated beause of all of the technical txts that you read, now that the administration, sheep that we call Congress (take your pick) etc.. have decided to enact into law your powerful rig and amount of knowledge make you a weapon and therefore a potential terrorist.
