Google is fighting it better than most and is even trying to make the point (without the NSA's help, because it will expose what other companies are doing (AT&T)), that they only comply with very limited warrants the numbers of which are quite reasonable for actual crime.
You got your PhD in statistical genetics and you still refer to Eve as "hypothetical"? Isn't it a genetically proven fact that all human women share the same mother?
Um, that's why people VOTE on the correct answer. One of the top 2 answers is virtually ALWAYS the correct answer (usually 2 ways of solving the same problem that you can choose from).
If you think your luggage is safe at most lodging without you being there, you are crazy. I knew somebody that did this and the box was opened, all the luggage had been gone through and all the expensive stuff taken. Then the box was retaped badly. The hotel "got it that way" don't you know.
Strange. Because that's the attitude I associate with Delta and especially American, and I have had great service from United and have flown them dozens of times. And in the couple instances where I had problems, they were able to come through and go above and beyond.
The only thing I remember about Walt Whitman is that he wrote poetry about his own semen. I could have done without that in my educational experience, to be honest. And aren't they supposed to keep creeps like him at least 500 feet away from the schools?
They're all hypocrites since they all went to public schools growing up and ended up where they did. And for Matt Damon to say that public schools aren't "progressive enough"? Are you kidding me? Public schools are all basically little liberal factories, especially in LAUSD.
I was once at a company where I was told that access to an FTP server would take 3 weeks but I needed to release the file tonight. I showed up the next morning asking my boss if I could get access quicker and he said he would work on it.
He then said he assumed that the release failed and I told him, "No, the file's there."
But if there are enough automated cars (everyone but you), you can go ahead and try to ram them. You won't succeed because they'll just get out of your way to avoid the collision. Talk about open roads...:-)
Pastors absolutely pay taxes. I took a class on it in college (needed 1 unit and that's all they offered that fit my requirements).
Pastors can get a housing allowance, which doesn't count as taxes (because of parishes and the like), but it's limited to a certain percentage of their salary. Other than a couple other minor extras, they pay taxes just like you and me.
I know because the professor had been audited 7 years in a row by the IRS and was found even or got paid all 7 years (he used every available tax shelter, but never cheated). After that, he invoked a harassment law against the IRS and they are unable to audit him any more, because he was found clean 7 times.
Seriously. Every small church in the Midwest can follow these rules easily (or find someone who can) and some of the pastors are high school dropouts. But a group of smart programmers can't be bothered to figure out how to do it?
Size IS the problem. With small budgets that can barely meet public services and nothing more, it would be very difficult for a government to go rogue. Even now, if the NSA were defunded, it would disappear overnight.
My point is that praying is a quick fix for the guilt of not doing anything. You see people in need and think "I should do something", and then you "pray for Gawd" and you feel good again! You feel good, not the people that you thought you should help. So if this is the kind of person you are (and you know the majority of those 1.1 billion I mentioned are like that) then yes, you are a drone.
Yes, because clearly Mother Teresa (the one who started the conversation) did NOTHING about the plight of destitute sick Indians but pray for them... And Christians don't start hospitals and universities all over the world, don't build wells for African villages for free, don't help in hurricane and tsunami areas for years without charging the locals and don't run food banks, etc. The day I see an atheist food bank, well project or anything else that helps humanity created and started by atheists, let me know...
And how much does learning the test actually help you drive? Here in America, my wife took the real estate exams and had to memorize all the questions and answers, even though I could demonstrably prove that several of the questions were completely false, since I worked for a mortgage company that dealt with that stuff all day long for real. Didn't matter, she had to memorize the incorrect answers.

Why would you need to check your usage on Sprint? Was this for call usage?

So what's to stop the government from serving them with a National Security Letter
He's not in the USA and never has been?
Is there even any competition to buy MP3s besides Amazon?

Since when does Apple allow emulators on iOS? They never have before.
Other documents that used to be taken seriously, and were written for the concerns of their times, (and are still hung on to by some.)
The Old Testament. The New Testament. The Torah. The Koran. The Magna Carta. The Domesday Book.
The Bible is still the best selling book in the world by over 40 times. So by "some" what you really mean is billions.
"About 100 feet deep and somewhat wider, it is about 1/40th the scale of the mighty Grand Canyon. This canyon was formed in one day from a mudflow."

Observable science for the win!

"How did you do that?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"No."
Welded shut by whom? A sysadmin like Snowden?
But the retired guy will always say "No" to new technology that he doesn't understand, so that's not always helpful either.
Phhh. Didn't Toyota already have a self-driving car?

Even CHP officers regularly admit that you should not go merely the speed limit in the "fast lane". It's dangerous.

And if they had sent them in any time during that 3 years, the IRS probably would have sent them a letter instead asking them to be on time next year.
