Google does a pretty good job of making an ass of themselves all on their own, that whole "do no evil" thing Google used to swear by, it is a load of crap, Google is just as evil as Apple or Microsoft or Oracle (their only in it for the money and would stomp on their own mothers to get it.
ha!
the human race is doomed to this star system, we as a species will never get beyond this solar system, its a HUGE waste of money & resources & manpower to even try,
considering Wall Street & Investment banks of the USA is run by criminals, if i was a trader or import/export man in a foreign country i would avoid the USD like it was infected with the plague.
was dumb cops that will just blindly follow orders without conscience, someone smart enough to use critical thinking would probably get other officers, and government officials in to trouble.

oh, you actually want some content in your content?
you dont know whats inside until you get there and look around, sometimes you have a good idea whats there and can be predictable at websites (or stores) you frequently go to, but when opening unknown URLs (or visiting new stores) you have no idea until you get there
After 9/11, the fear of another attack on U.S. soil cleanly supplanted the fear of having one`s penis chopped off by a vengeful lover in the pantheon of irrational American fears.
While we`re constantly being told that another attack is imminent and that radical Islamic fundamentalists are two steps away from establishing a caliphate in Branson, Missouri, just how close are they? How do the odds of dying in a terrorist attack stack up against the odds of dying in other unfortunate situations?
The following ratios were compiled using data from 2004 National Safety Council Estimates, a report based on data from The National Center for Health Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 2003 mortality data from the Center for Disease Control was used.
You are 17,600 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack
You are 12,571 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack
You are 11,000 times more likely to die from a misdiagnosed medical condition or botched surgery by an incompetent doctor or misuse of perscription drugs than a terrorist attack
You are 1048 times more likely to die from a car accident than from a terrorist attack
You are 404 times more likely to die in a fall than from a terrorist attack
You are 87 times more likely to drown than die in a terrorist attack
You are 13 times more likely to die in a railway accident than from a terrorist attack
You are 12 times more likely to die from accidental suffocation in bed than from a terrorist attack
You are 9 times more likely to choke to death on your own vomit than die in a terrorist attack
You are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist
You are 8 times more likely to die from accidental electrocution than from a terrorist attack
You are 6 times more likely to die from hot weather than from a terrorist attack
will this electromagnetic suspension interfere with radios?
that is the last thing a public safety professional or ham radio operator, (or anyone else that uses a radio) would want is the suspension on their car or truck causing RFI
yup, since technology like computer hardware & software & networking methods can take command & control & $$$ out of the hands of the MPAA/RIAA the existing media distributors (mpaa/riaa) are naturally going to fight against it,
just think if some website allowed just anybody to upload their own recordings to either sell or give away for free, and if enough big names in music started using it the RIAA could eventually be left out of the $$$, a little more difficult with movies since more initial investment is required to make a feature film or movie that can compete with Hollywood.
in case you've not noticed it has already failed and continues failing, bailouts in the billions, wars in the trillions, over 14 trillion dollar deficit, jobless recovery, even the mexicans have slowed down crossing the border because the economy is in the toilet, just how bad does it have to be for you before you consider it "failed"?

then use HF two-way radio,
why the focus on computers with internet connectivity as the only source of communication?
what i dont trust is the internets.

and remove my PCs from internet connectivity before i subject myself to such a heavy handed draconian measure.
goodbye internet, it was fun while it lasted, but the government is here to help which always takes the fun out of things.
