If everyone runs their own Tor exit node, including unknowingly every dumb Windows and Mac user out there, then malware writers (the NSA?) would have a field day writing bad stuff that attacks and takes advantage of a very large number of exit nodes. So which is better: fewer exit nodes but a few known bad ones as it is now, or shitloads of exit nodes where the vast majority cannot be trusted?

In my mind this is not interesting but rather bordering flamebait. How is what you propose any different than what exists now? Malware writers are having a field day right now with all of the unsecured exit nodes. ( yes you are an exit node on the internet, regardless if you are a tor exit node ) So the true question is would you rather have a greater possibility of retaining your privacy, or just keep living in a deluded fantasy where you think you have any semblance of privacy when you don't? Don't be the one to drink the cool-aid, it never turns out good for that person.

I hear you. People in general do not seem to understand that gun laws only, I will repeat ONLY... stop those who would not commit a crime with a gun anyways. Take Canada for instance, a high level of gun control laws, yet no matter where you are (large city or the middle of no-where) if you go looking for a gun that is unregistered and untraceable... it will only take you 30 minutes or less... for any type of gun whether it be hand gun to fully automatic assault rifle. Gun laws do not stop criminals... they keep the honest, honest.

It sounds like they chose to implement sub-standard LED's because I know from experience that the LED lights that are used on Semi Tractor Trailers are quite visible from well over 5 miles with a foot of snow covering them on the tail end of the trailer... all in -25 to -35 degrees Celsius. This would lead me and most other people that have practical experience in this area... that they used cheap LED's for the street lights if the light is not visible under a little snow. And yes this was observed in Alberta, Canada during a snow storm. It was when I finally caught up to the truck that I was able to see how much snow was covering the lights.

Receiving and Collecting are one and the same since if you receive and retain then you have collected. Pretty sure they did not immediately destroy or discard the information. Don't try and pussy foot around this, He lied flat out and he knew it. He (and they) is hoping that semantics and the apathy of the general population will let them get away with it.
