Most police already wear "body recorders" which capture anything audible while on duty.

Wish I had a mod point for you.

I had no trouble understanding the post in question.

Good for you. I had trouble following it, and apparently the GP did too. Maybe you are the asshole.

I can't tell if you got the joke and tried to pile on, or didn't get the joke.

One must not generalize.

It's nice to see a couple of people at slashdot who are still willing to think critically instead of just jumping on the bandwagon. Thank you.

Wait a second, what on earth is he speaking at SXSW for? Is he now considered an expert on national security? Typical sysadmin, thinking they know everything about how you should do your job, even if your job has nothing to do with administering systems.

You don't pay for an airline ticket from your bank's website. That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

You must have a hard time dealing with intonation in spoken words.

It's perfectly legal here. As an employee, you are using company provided hardware and have signed an employment agreement stating you will only use it for business purposes. Chances are, your personal bank account, facebook page, or whatever else are not part of business purposes. If they are, then why should they be kept private from the company you're doing business on behalf of? If they aren't then why are you using company hardware & bandwidth to access them?

I may not like the fact that the company can do this, but they do have every legal right.

I stand corrected, however the rest of my post is still valid.

Where's the CSS to make it black/red? Your emulation is foobar'ed.

I've noticed a lot of software guys who love to type "foobar" where they apparently mean "FUBAR" the military slang. I've not figured out if this is intentional, or if they've been so ingrained with "foo" and "bar" from their college days that they just can't tear themselves away from it?

Slashdot: I come for the science, I stay for the jokes. Sometimes the science is the joke, but I digress...

I'd expect 10% of them to get HTML right and not wrong.

It doesn't say only 10% got the question wrong, it says 10% of them chose that answer. I think it's safe to assume that far more than 10% of the public don't really know what HTML is, but they might at least guess that it has something to do with computers.
