Some of those Jap subs were actually very large and sophisticated. One three hulled (3 tubes) sub surrendered of the East(!) coast of the US after the end of the war and was scuttled by the US Navy. I saw pics of it somewhere long ago. The centre hull held the fold wing plane.
Mate, I can feel your pain. You girlfriend must love you very much for taking her to each and every one of them, but you really have my deepest sympathy. One day when you are in the vicinity, do drop in for a beer.
Psychiatric illnesses are fads to some degree. Years ago, women suffered from hysteresis and hypochondria. Currently, scads of perfectly normal people are diagnosed as autistic. This fad will eventually abate, to be replaced by something else.
Not just 'mean you no harm', but unable to do you much harm even if they tried. The government is different. The government doesn't normally mean you harm either, but it has the ability to do you gross harm and is therefore the 500 million pound gorilla in the room that can intentionally, or accidentally squish you into a little red spot on the carpet.
Facebook, Microsoft and Google do not possess armies of dragoons who can break your door down, drag you into the street and throw you into the slammer and then throw away the key. Well, not yet anyway. Although these are large companies, they operate at the same level we do. That is why we trust them more than the government.

Wow, parasites that can be trained? Maybe all they needed was better schooling - for the parasites.
I live in the desert. Here, if you don't eat more salty snacks, then you end up in hospital if you drink too much water on a hot day.
You can try salting their passwords.
I don't care about the Americans. I would prefer them defund spying on the rest of the world. That will save them way more money.

Yes, and they also have about 1/1000,000th the money that the USA has. So, no excuse there.
Yeah, for best effect tune it to 18 Hz.
No, that is equal opportunity lighting. Affirmative action lighting is racist.
Most do. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
The true geek solution is infrared lighting and night vision goggles.
...and you get to pay for it twice: Once in your monthly bill and secondly in your taxes to support the NSA backup service.
The problem is that the user speeds need to be throttled to something that the NSA recording can keep up with.
No, Chicago is fine. If you see Detroit and economy, then run away screaming.
also in the USA at the Salton Sea salt lake: http://www.yelp.com/biz/salton-sea-mud-pots-and-geothermal-mud-volcanoes-calipatria

This isn't the only mud vent in Indonesia and the others were not caused by drilling either.

Yup, billions of people go to church for their salvation.

Now listen there, don't befuddle this discussion with sound logic...

Well, at least the office software from Spies R Us (TM) is still somewhat better than Libre Office right?
Anything is better than Launchpad. I always delete it. Even on machines I buy for other people. I just blow it away immediately.
MS clearly has the world's worst collection of programmers. They need all the help they can get, since they are just too incompetent.
