Compare this to US involvement in WWII where 418 thousand Americans died and managed to free France, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, South Korea and some of South East Asia (just over 200 million people all up), with the rest being taken by equally-oppressive Communism and it sounds like incredibly good value for human life.
Weapons are great for the people who own them.
Using your WWII analogy, imagine Adolf Hitler have the powers of the NSA today!
The Aerobie Pro Ring is one of the best skill toy inventions ever created.
Can you tell us about the physics and engineering challenges that you had to overcome to break the world record?
The market is what regulates privacy. When companies overstep, there will be consequences, but so far the market has said consumers are more than willing to trade data for amazing free tools online.
Are they nuts? My Senator says "these tools are required to intercept and obstruct terrorism". He goes on to say that "we must never allow the terrorists to alter the freedoms that define our country and make us the greatest nation in the world". If we stop these programs then the terrorists win!
I'm disappointed they do not have the game 'Global Thermonuclear War'.

or expect to have less opportunity as those in positions of authority choose to turn you down in favor of someone that will embarrass them less.
"Turn me down" from what? I would never associate myself, business wise or socially, with someone who is a strong believer in nepotism. I will go to great lengths to avoid being judged by people.
As the DIY electronics and robotics evolve, what do you see as the next logical progression?
the performance of your employees is, there will always be a top 10% and a bottom 10% in the bell curve or in any other system that is.
Everyone contributes differently to a project because we have come from different work-life experiences. I don't think I have ever come across a software engineer or IT employee who was able to study hard in school and then get into a position where they were not able to understand complex technical problems and come up with solutions. If you have a decent hiring process, then you should have already eliminated the "bottom 10%". At the end of the day, the output performance of an employee is based on moral and team synergy.
IP Address is probably permissible but a profile is not "evidence".
My profile name is "MoneyDancer" but that is not my real name. I was not born in 1950 as specified in my profile.
Researchers used evidence including profiles on Skype and social media to identify the suspects.
These guys probably deserve what's coming to them but to say that a profile is evidence is a bit extreme.
Second Post!
Driverless cars will not do very well in the winter. I live in an area where we can get snow 6 to 7 months out of the year. Snow on the car image sensors will make the car blind. Ice on the road will be nearly impossible for the car to distinguish. I wish I could be more optimistic but driverless cars will be as useful as google glass appears to be.
But in an ostensibly capitalist country it needs to be ok to be a capitalist, otherwise the people with the capital flee the country.
Don't forget to pay the exit tax on the way out!
