Starve? The rest are fodder for wars. "But even wars will be automated!" you say. Well sure, the fighters will be drones, but the targets will be the masses whom the drone masters have no use for; the ones who would be a drain on the drone masters' resources.

It's called buy a cheap laptop, encrypt it, back it up regularly, and buy another when it's lost or stolen. Works for other operating systems too. Even with computrace, you can't get police to act on the location a lot of times. Tracking software saves money on insurance, that's it.
The only reason for a politician to take a war-like stance against a neutral country like Bolivia is if they're likely to personally lose their office [, reputation, freedom, or life] over the matter.

Indeed. If your job is security, you respond to the alarm *every* time, even if it was a false alarm the last five times.
There are two morals to that fable. One for children: don't lie or a wolf will eat you because no one will believe you. One for adults: always treat an alarm as real because sometimes it is and a kid might get eaten.
Once a market is semi-saturated with a specific copyrighted work, further copies for that work are discontinued so that new works can semi-saturate a market until a new generation (the copyright holders hoping that the media has changed or deteriorated since then).
Once you can get any information from any nearly computer on the planet, you won't have too much use for using a magnifying glass to pop ants. Yet some kids still do. Some adults still do. Some aliens might find it the height of Graschnarblethhpp to enslave a pre-singularity society and make them build monuments in the desert. It really gets the breeding age female-type-2 aliens amorous.
As a computer-guy, I would be remiss if I didn't know that users referred to desktop computers as either CPUs or Harddrives, but never as computers or cases. Sure, I educate them when I can, but most if the time I don't because it's a waste if both of our times. Just like with everyone who is not ex-military (even gun owners or hunters) who refer to ammo as bullets because they don't ever make their own ammo. Willful ignorance regarding who uses the terms "ammo" versus "bullets" is a little myopic.
The UV polymerization machines seem to work quite well. The high-end machines produce consistent results and don't need to be watched while running. They're still slow, though. The Form1 printer may get there, if they ever really ship the thing in quantity
The IRS has admitted to clear discrimination against conservative groups, effectively squashing the Tea Party's activities throughout most of the 2014 election cycle.
The IRS tacitly admits to owning a time machine? I knew they didn't spend millions making that parody video of Star Trek for their convention.
I know 2014 was a typo, but can't pass up a bad joke.
Those fuckers lost a check I sent and it will cost me $30 to cancel and resend. I wonder if I can get a record showing it at least made it into the postal system.
I'm wondering why there are still any unsolved major crimes. The government has access almost all of your communications. And if you have a cell phone they have a record of where that cell phone travels.
Because criminals have suspected that "the government has access almost all of your communications" even if they didn't have express proof. The only communications that have ever been monitored (excepting throw-away phones and dead-drop mailing) have been law-abiding citizens who would never have thought to suspect that they were being monitored (and thus did nothing to obfuscate their communications).
As someone else mentioned in another thread, this doesn't seem to solve major crimes, so it doesn't seem to be about solving major crimes. At best, minor crimes (except they don't meet the level to warrant a warrant, so really at best it's a waste of money). At worst, it's a handy way to gather data about political opponents even if that was never the intent (corruption and abuse happens; preventing tools like this from being abused is important enough to dismantle the tools themselves).
Well, that's nice. So the Bolivian Pres. was supposed to circle French airspace for a whole day? I know, it was probably a different flight entirely, but still...

I believe you're thinking of plutocrats.
Did he delete the data on AT&T servers? Refine the analogy so the researcher is using a digital camera.
I've seen that movie. It was really a wormhole!
Libertarians=/=Anarchists. Libertarians want government, they just want it limited.

There are other things they could lose.

And the war was a civil war. The enemy was Us, or related to Us by blood. Not so today.
That would suck if they're carrying cargo for the return trip.

Don't worry, she sleeps above the covers.

Because they cause crashes!
I'm waiting to have an RFID tag implanted in my forehead!
You won't be able to buy or sell without it.

You'd have to address your interior envelope from the snailTOR node (and include your *real* from address inside your interior envelope).

Sure, it'll probably cost you $60.

Just one more $2 ahh stick or $8 tylenol
Tongue depressor. That's probably not even the technical term, but "ahh stick" had me confused for a bit.
I want Laser Blood.
