    Yes, worked so well for the car industries.

    Yes. And, hopefully, as we increase our lifespan it will look even younger. You are of course welcome to throw away all the lifespan gains we've made so far. You can die much earlier if this satisfies some kind of bizarre romantic notion you have about aging being good?

    *Insightful!*

    This is a poor correlation. The jobs you are referencing are not IT, and generally have been replaced by illegal labor practices; which our government continues to turn a blind eye toward. Thank you President Obama.

    Really it's like politicians who think they need to change something, or make a new law or no one will vote for them. It's unfortunate that these people are trained to murder their own talent instead of leveraging it.

    Are you Native American? If not, you're a hypocrite.

    Do you seriously think the Native Americans don't regret the way they left their borders open to anyone who turned up?

    If they could go back in time and build a wall to keep Europeans out, I suspect most would eagerly have done so.

    That's some looney stuff. Native Americans didn't worry much around their immediate tribal grounds. There wasn't a single tribe with the political or physical capacity to project the power your suggestion would have required.

    Great, I assume we'll see your support for overturning 100+ years of discrimination against polygamists and the restoration (with interest) of the properties confiscated from them by the state and federal governments?

    Actually, I was waiting on Al Gore to comment on whether the science was settled. Maybe if we had a consensus we could believe this scientific finding. What oil company did the Romans work for?

    We used to hone these skills through hunting. You should try it sometimes when you have a real stake in your immediate survival. I wonder at the rates of consistent reaction times and measured spatial awareness that would prevail in those circumstances.

    nonsense

    what you're missing it that "goverment systems" at local, state and federal levels are not well-connected heterogeneous systems, they're mostly islands without standard protocols or interchange formats. this local school's scans will not be available to say DHS or IRS or FBI

    Seriously, you're a fucking lunatic.

    I hope every child on that bus starts a personal suit to coercion under the color of authority against Florida. Last time I checked, only criminals were required to give up their biometrics to the state. Now some Florida moron government employee sees absolutely nothing wrong with violating our children for whatever expense. I wonder if their secret members of the CTA, which has endorsed paying the retirements of children molesters that happen to be union members?

    That's an interesting viewpoint. When the cops break down your doors, have SWAT shoot and kill your decade old family pets, shoot your wife to death because she was holding a deadly weapon (aka, the baby), and then figure out that they were in the wrong house executing a truancy warrant; then you tell me how much safer those retina scans made us all.

  18. Re:Something It Isn't on Google Glass: What's With All the Hate? · · Score: 1

    Cops regularly confiscate $1,000 from people because they could be using the money for drug trafficking. It costs you two years of time and lawyer fees to get that back, ergo people usually walk away from the money. You find this hard to imagine that some police force will not accuse people of recording them to simply be an ass?

    Yep, until some cop you piss off confiscates the Google Glass because you are recording him. Try getting that out of the evidence locker in under two years.

    And this is what truly deserves mod points. What happens when people start rising to the call of free education? I grew up with hundreds of kids in our poor, run-down schools where the physics/chemistry teacher ran his real estate business from the science lab instead of using it for educating students. Most of us knew nothing more adventurous in life other than where the next high was coming from. If I could talk to those kids today that are still there, how many could get an education online, for free, rising exponentially above where they ever expected to be?

    No, there are plenty of wars based upon ideology. As for your thesis, the only reason resources are rare is because power bases wish them to be rare. I saw the video of Russian diamond stores used for economic leverage over 30 years ago. We could throw a laundry list of items on almost any level. We used solid nuclear fuels because one political group pushed that source when liquid-based systems clearly were superior. We base all energy decisions in America on how they financially support government-controlled monopolies manned by retired complicit politicians. Literally, one melted asteroid would completely destroy the precious metals markets on Earth. The only real resource we all have of any value is us. Everything else is just so much bullshit people use to control each other.
