Interesting comment that I would like to have some cites on. As you well know the only thing corrupting 'big government' is assholes on the right bringing 'big government' to its knees whenever an opportunity arises for 'big government' to make a difference. Of course I am referring to 'big government' as the US model. You know, the one where we have a bunch of red neck right wing wanna be good ol boys fucking up the country. You know the one. Where a Senator from a farm in the middle of a swamp in a state that rightfully has few citizens, has the same say as the one I voted for. You know the country. My Senator comes from a state with enormous population(the largest), enormous economy(largest) and yet has to sit and be brow beaten by Sen.Redneck.

Do I sound mad? You bet. Because we all know that this didn't happen by accident. Won't go into that whole thing. But what I will say is I am so fucking sick and tired of hearing the term 'big government' used in situation like the one you used it in that I could puke. You act as if we're fucking children. Like 'big government' is excluded from political events. You act as if we had a coherent energy plan in place in the US and as YOU DAMN WELL FUCKING KNOW WE DON'T. SO QUIT WITH THE 'BIG GOVERNMENT' PROGRAMS ARE A FAILURE BULLSHIT WHEN THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE FUCKING LACK OF A BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BIG INTERNATIONAL TREATY.

Yeah maybe. But actually no, you're wrong on both counts. They exist and they look good. I read about them months ago on the Budget Light Forum site(flashlight stuff mostly, but cover just about anything to do with LEDs).

Hey, look at this. Ali Express lists 4217 results for 'led filament bulb'. Guess this isn't really cutting edge news.

I meant to say what should happen to Led Zeppelin.

what could happen to Led Zeppelin.

The CEO of Moon Express said, "The MX-1 is the iPhone of space...".

I guess the contest is over. Who would've thunk it. Next big decision for them is how to work a small i into the company name.

Here come the killer ants. I bet the drones will be flying for sure. I wouldn't want to be sharing the sky with them. Birds beware.

Because it is clear that the potential for abuse is so high that the longer we delay the better.

I say delay, because we're really only talking about the private sector. The government, law enforcement agencies, etc. are flying all the time. I'm sure with what we spend on black budget items that I can be viewed and heard day and night/in and out. Not saying anyone is, just know they can. And I sure as hell don't want private industries, particularly those who engage in advertising, being given the 'keys' to the garage. I can see the ads flying in already. "Dear homeowner. It's the right time of year to paint, mow, and generally just clean up. Recent photos suggest your home...."

Sorry I seem to confuse Rodgers and Poindexter.

Well, it seems that banks are definitely on board now. I guess the fact that that all the major systems treat the transactions as quasi-debit transactions and only approve if you have funds available, seems to have swayed the banks general opinion. In other words, when told they had basically zero risk of doing anything but making boatloads of money, the banks withdrew their objections.

And this is supposed to make us feel good? I would suggest that the use of Symantec products could, in some circumstances, be seen as giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
