I've seen inklings of a smear campaign against this movement already, trying to exploit the same stupid red meat issues (abortion, gun control, taxes) to alienate potential supporters that would otherwise emphatically agree that corporations are not people and should no longer control our government.

I do wish them luck. They're gonna need it.

This reminds me of the inanity of a certain supposed educational institution that insists on calling itself 'KU'.

"Oh, so you're Kansas University."

"No! We are the University of Kansas!"

"So... you're UK."

"NO!!! That's Kentucky! We're KU!!"

Lather, Rinse, Stupid.

The Feds used one when they burned some 50 women and children to death in Waco.

Whelp, now we've heard from Cliven Bundy.

It's Canada, not the US.

Good for them, as in the US they would have shot on sight or would already be in Gitmo.

Are they simply sociopaths with no conscience?

Ding-ding-ding. They're just a slightly refined form of the classical high school bully turned small town cop.

Clever work. I'd go so far as to call it... igneous.

Tip your wait staff.

It is well-documented by the MAFIAA that all Linux users are thieving, murderous scum that deserve nothing but the grinding heel of a jackboot.

also, it saves a bunch of battery to run it in html5 than in the silverlight. for a macbook air you can get an extra 2 hours watching netflix in html5 instead of silverlight! that's huge!

And how are we to get corn to pop just using HTML5? Run Flash in the background?

If you look closely before takeoff, there are two guys literally holding the wings up at each end to balance it. They have to run with the plane for the first few seconds until it gets enough lift to balance on its own. The landing video shows both bicyclists and men racing to meet up with the wings to hold them up once the plane stops.

This delicate and accurate work cries out for a couple of drones, not dudes, huffing and akimbo.

I still have a conventional disk in my desktop rig. I also frequently end up with a web page with Flash that nearly brings the entire comp to it's knees, due to near-constant disk activity. It's bad enough my electro-mechanical drive is being worn down by garbage software; not sure I could live with an SSD being literally consumed by the same indefensible cause.

Is there a method for individuals to legally canary themselves if they get NSL-ed (which wouldn't surprise me in the least for this audit)?

Once they're deployed, you can look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome anywhere in the world

...but be quick about it.

The problem is also that the USPO granted the patent in the first place :/

Then they should pay the legal bill.

"IT Department. Have you tried randomizing your compiler?"

Whoever is hired to fix OpenSSL will instantly receive an NSL to STFU and put in an NSA backdoor.
