No, I want to know how the hell Google is supposed to program an algorithm to determine something that even human beings can't manage to figure out.

I don't claim that they can catch it all, but clearly they could catch a lot of it. A lot of it is very clearly marked, they're not even removing that. (The issue of whether they should have to is orthogonal to the technical conversation.)

Arnie for gov was the most awesome thing ever because none of the really fucked up stuff he wanted to do ever came to pass. I knew that this was what would happen, which is why I voted for him. I voted against Moonbeam but we got him again anyway because as you say, the voters of California are idiots. That's not entirely true, though; many of them are simply assholes. There's a lot of self-entitled rich fucks in California, it's not just self-entitled poor.

It will make it very easy for her to understand when she is fired for not following the basic tenants she swore to uphold, as documented within the Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

Step 1: The word is tenets. Do not use words you don't understand. It only makes you look like a stupid ass.

Step 2: Sorry, nothing Feinstein is doing is illegal, and Feinstein is known for trying to do end runs around the constitution, and the people who vote for her vote for her on that basis.

A police state isn't made by border guards, which is what those police were, but by how the state deals with its citizens on a day to day basis.

Yes, and the average citizen commits a felony every day, and the police use selective enforcement to control the populace in a way that benefits the oligarchs, because this is a police state.

Getting around Comcast firewalls and other things in the corporate lan is easy. Just find out what hidden AP the IT department has their cable modem on. EVERY SINGLE OFFICE IT had their own cablemodem and typically put a hidden SSID AP on it so they can get around corporate as well. We went farther and had a separate switch and some lan drops on that cablemodem only network. Typically in the Conference rooms and a couple of the common spaces.

I just cant get over how the worst enemies of this country are the ones we elected.

These are EVIL men, everyone needs to write their congresscritters and tell them how they do NOT support the actions of these Evil senators who want to permanently destroy our freedom.

Sadly, I know I am in the minority and that most of you think that all this domestic spying is a good thing.

I think it is only heavy truck fleets and they are doing it to get away from the expense, maintenance, and down time, of crappy Diesel Particulate Filter systems.

It's only short-haul vehicles. Fleets that operate in a specific metro area are the poster child, which is why you mostly see CNG buses. It provides poor energy density compared to diesel fuel, and the engines are gasoline engines so they provide poor torque compared to diesel fuel as well unless you spend more on gearing.

Since we have the technology to make biodiesel from algae and run that in our existing diesel fleets, that would be the "greenest" solution available with current technology. No fracking involved.

Even trained federal agents can't seem to tell the difference

Can't, or don't want to?

How exactly do you tell the difference between an advance copy posted to a blog by the artist themselves and an advance copy illegally leaked to a blog by someone else?

You want me to do the work for you?
