I am all for northern Europeans becoming American citizens rather than Mexicans or muslims. I think US immigration policy should reflect that.

My W7 work box still has "My Documents" on the C: drive, but nearly everything I do is on the network drive, and not only does it not have "My Documents", it doesn't even have "Documents". I've never understood why MS set it up that way. Something like "Users/CroMagnon" would make much more sense as a home directory. If I wanted a "Documents" or even "My Documents" I could put it there myself.

There is a huge difference between data sent over the internet and data physically stored on a device.

Yep: You can be certain the NSA already has a copy of one of these.

You have the right to remain violated!

I'm a little puzzled at the ascertains to begin with, with reference to actives you would require a self driving car for....?

Per the article:

"Self-driving cars promise a future where you can watch television, sip cocktails, or snooze all the way home"

I mean....geez, aside from the sleeping part, that's not that uncommon now for REGULAR cars. The console screens are pretty easily bypassed to allow watching video anytime, and well...it isn't that big a deal to pour a cocktail for the road, hell, that's why folks try to catch as many of the plastic Mardi Gras cups here during carnival season, so that you have a sturdy disposable "to-go" cup to make a beverage for the road with when leaving the house......

As opposed to the various environmentalist groups who get regulations enacted outside normal channels by suing the EPA and then sign a settlement with the EPA for some regulation that has the force of a court order...but is never actually reviewed by a court.

Lead as a pollutant? Maybe. But that was yesterday's EPA. Today's calls CO2 one. I call EPA unrestrained, unscientific extremists. The fusion of climate science with leftist ideology is a great tragedy of the last 30 years. The end of life on earth will come when tectonics have ceased, volcanism slows to nothing, and CO2 is gradually bound to carbonates in the oceans. Photosynthesis becomes impossible, severing the food chain. About 10^9 years. Enjoy CO2 while we have it.

Yeah, you wouldn't want EPA regulations made from 'settled science' with full transparency. That wouldn't be in these activist's style. Obama went rogue long ago.

'We devils should', not 'us devils should'. The way you know is you say 'we should' and not 'us should'.

Perhaps his language background is in Eubonics, and it just got lost in translation?

;)

My first thoughts are "DUH"...

I mean, it is (or at least should be) common sense that people tend to relate to and help/associate with other beings that are more like them.

This is just basically innate behavior of humans. Why is anyone shocked at this? If you don't actually KNOW a either of two strangers you might be presented with, you're first reaction is likely to feel more at ease and more trusting of the person that visually resembles you the most.

When did political correctness overrule common sense and things we've known about human behavior since pretty much the dawn of time?

What the hell is "Doxxes"?

Never heard that term before....?

Yep.

This is yet another reason not to be on FaceBook.

Don't post a ton of shit about your life online, and there will therefore be less material available for YOUR future loser edit.

That's her campaign slogan.

The problem with "Hide the scissors" is that the scissors are still there. Right under the seat, pointy-end up! The user, even (or especially) the non-tech one is much better off seeing the damn things.

As I've said before, if he's really this stand up guy, why did he run? IF he really had good and legal reasons to do what he did, take it to court and face the music.

I know, right? Like how the Sons of Liberty didn't disguise themselves as Indians before dumping a load of tea into Boston Harbor, and then when done, turned themselves in to the nearest British garrison? We need more heroes like those fine, upstanding, nametag-wearing gentlemen.


if you break the law to make your point that the law is unjust you should stand ready to be arrested, imprisoned and tried in court for what you choose to do.

"Ready to be" doesn't mean adopting a Gump level of naivete and making it easy for the government to remove you from the public view. By him fleeing the country (and seeking asylum in a country we traditionally mock for their lack of an open and fair government, no less), we continue to discuss Snowden's actions years later. If he had stuck around, we would all have forgotten about him as soon as the next weekly scandal distracted the media.
