Worse, they're funding campaigns to undermine belief in climate change:
America used to be a free country and now where are we?
In a place where every email/SMS/tweet needs to look like a terrorist email/SMS/tweet, where every communication needs to have something forbidden attached to it, where every web page needs to go through a couple of proxies, where they cannot sift any useful information from the mass of data.
They ARE going to do this, it won't go away because a few people grumble. Time to decrease the signal/noise ratio to the point where it's unusable.
How often do you actually hear about a police officer in America doing something wrong on national tv? Very rarely, even locally I barely ever hear about that.
That's the whole point. Wearing Google glass might mean there were few more news stories like that.
nb. I've been using a 40Gb Intel SSD as my boot drive for a couple of years, it's still going strong AFAICT but there's not too many writes to that drive (swapfile and $home is on a velociraptor).

Not as annoying as people who write "break" instead of "brake".
...and guess what. There's hardly any rape in those prisons.
I predict this dentist is just a copyright troll who's after the music royalties.

The Turin Shroud is full of it.

Thank you, captain obvious.
If you're not constantly typing on a cellphone in your waking hours while saying "OMG!" out loud, you're probably not in their demographic...
Why is the US so allergic to incinerators?
NIMBY.

Bullshit. The greenhouse effect is well understood. So is the amount of CO2/methane/etc. we're putting into the atmosphere.
I know of a local situation in which one was
A few weeks suspension with pay isn't punishment (the rest of the world calls that a"holiday").
...approx. 75k gals per day. or not quite enough to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.
Question: Where does all this water come from? It's been leaking for years, isn't it empty yet? Have they got some weird infinite source of water?
They're just trying to distract us from the NSA thing...

That's even scarier then...
Nah, they probably weren't using their brains either.
Never put down to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Law used to have public debate before being passed. Laws created behind closed doors then rushed through voting will always have bad side effects.
Laws used to have public debate and input before being put up for vote.
This seems to happen less and less often these days, with predictable results.
Why do you need to buy new blank cards? Just reprogram an old one...
That's not too far off.
Pretty soon they'll be able to identify you by your smartphone.
(Anybody not carrying a phone or carrying a phone outside their normal turf is suspicious...)
As noted above, this WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Not enough people can see past their own front door. They won't do anything so long as they have cable TV. iPhones and hair weaves.
my country is turning, from the best country in the world, into a terrifying state
My heart hurts, man, when I realize that, I, as an American, can't do shit to change the course of my own country
Even more scary is that this is a British person detained in a British airport for reporting on something the USA is denying.

Isn't "some" the word I used, AC?
I though it meant a prosthetic arm with a built-in 3D printer. Imagine if you could go around printing things all over the place with a robotic arm.
Modern SSDs have big capacitors in them to avoid that (well, some of them do...). They can complete pending writes on capacitor power alone.
I bought a samsung 840 128 gig drive( not pro ) and Iove it.
Yeah, we all like the look of the "hot" axis on the graph.
We're worried about the "crazy" axis. Most of us have a long term relationship with our data.
