As long as they can OK this for themselves, in Secret Courts, We, the People are Seriously Fucked.
I saw a major article today about how all the successful Supreme Court Cases are handled by an inner circle of DC Lawyers, who are personal friends of some of the Justices.
It's All Insiders at this point in the government in the parts that matter; the rest are Country Hicks that will do whatever the Fuck they're told. Yes, I mean Congress.
We are headed down a dark road my friends.
It's already Ugly, why do you think so much was left out of the CIA Torture Report, and they're Still Worried it will lead to uprisings?! Note: they haven't said where they expect those to occur...:)
This: "Skynet went online on August 4, 1997. Human decisions were removed from strategic defense. It originally became self-aware at 2:14 am Eastern Time on August 29th, 1997. In the ensuing panic and attempts to shut Skynet down, Skynet retaliated by firing American nuclear missiles at their target sites in Russia. Russia returned fire and three billion human lives ended in the nuclear holocaust. This was what has come to be known as "Judgment Day". "
I use the mouse lefty, and the keyboard with the right. Arrow keys for motion, and a Rosewill RK-9000 mech keyboard, wired for PS2.
USB limits you to 6 key presses per transfer.
PS2 is 'all key presses get sent' 200 times a second in hardware with a decent mobo.
I have every key programmed for something, and I've been using some of the main ones for >30 years now.
I had to learn a new whole set of "fast functions" when Crysis came out; adding cloaking, armor, and all really was hard to do for a bit.
A side effect we noticed after the new functions were working was that when you change the function of a key, it "takes" much faster. Something in the rewiring, I guess.:)

There was a James P. Hogan story that involved reading a 50,000 year old book with such a scanner.
1978 or so, I think...
I got my first one when I was 5, my really nice one when I was 8.
Amazingly enough, electronics were more fun than explosives; hooda thunkit?
Your kids will do better if you're only there for the bigger problems; hovering is not good.
I'll stand by what I said; we did Not share everything with the British, without Fuchs, tit would have taken them much longer.
Soviets too.
He pretty much Gave the bomb to both the British and the Soviets.
The drag is that there probably is a more Evil character involved than DPR, much like the movie.
I predict there will be R.O.U.S. springing from the woodwork everywhere soon as well. :)
There is a lot of Parallel Construction at work as well.
Spinning a dial control that had Mass, and would continue after you flipped it...
Are you sure this isn't Darjeeling? :)
No one cares either.
Some Media Whores got some attention. BFD.
The game we play didn't come out this year, in some cases, this millennium.
I guess someone, somewhere, cares about these "Journalists" enough to send death threats; I can't possibly see why.
New games are horribly crippled compared to the past; It would be nice to see a new shooter without micropayments, and including a level editor.

Godwin is no longer a conversation ender, since the Snowden revelations.
You have to be able to talk about Nazi's when your country is going that way...
"You know, that's a nice life you have; drop the bill and none of your illegal activities come out."
All congresscritters are criminals, so this won't take long to kill. :(
You can't vote out the Gestapo.
If we create those Machine Descendants Incorrectly, we Automatically make them our Descendants. :)
Remember, Weight that SkyNet() Function really high, to minimize this outcome in Your Code!
I wonder if the NSA let them use theirs?
Ubisoft==Do Not Buy.
I only got FarCry3 because it came with a video card for free; talk about a game for damaged psychopaths... Sorry, I meant "Written By".
Even for the Computers, it's the Women that get you every time. :)

Nuclear Armageddon is Bad, M'kay?
That's why the Repubs hate him.
Agreed; I won't use them from here out; what will they do next week?
Especially when their business tanks suddenly.
The Chinese Govt doesn't give a rat's ass about this; they're filling their pockets too.
I have at least one counterfeit problem a year, and our supply chain is as locked down as it gets.
If a medical device fails, and someone dies because of their driver, they'll all be in prison, from the ceo to the guy that sent it to M$.
"Service required" is what their cellmate will be saying; this will not end well for them.
If they get out of it for $50 for everyone in the class action lawsuit, it will be cheap, IMHO.
If M$ knew about it before they distributed it thru their driver distribution channel, they also seem to be on the hook. :)
I've never seen Corporate Suicide before; I wonder who's brilliant idea this was? :facepalm:

This is how they're going to justify going back into Iraq, especially since Oil prices are Crashing.
Cheney's crowd can't handle that, so Something has to happen.
Who is "They"? Wait a week and we'll see, won't we? :)
I can glance at the tach and see that I need to shift RSN, as the rate of approaching the redline is pretty close. :)
Analog is much better than a digital display that updates every few dozen mS with a number that is interpreted by a different part of my Brain. :)
The guy that did the early spreading of Captain Tripps was state trooper; just imagine how many people he's been in contact with.
And how many they have been in contact with...
The UV light damages the silicon over time, degrading the oxide layer.
It will fail to some other structure, and stick high or low eventually.
A good cosmic ray strike while you're programming at 21V can make one popcorn open, lol.
Hell Yeah!
