It's quite different. I don't have a problem with you having cameras on your property per se. On the other hand, if you want to band together with other property owners - people who live beside metro stations etc - and then create collective tracking datasets and a federated pervasive surveillance infrastructure that is operating unchecked by any privacy or policing framework, I do have a problem with it, and your private property rights do not trump that.

You consistently do not understand how sovereignty works. The EU would have to negotiate with the UK rather than one side simply setting unilateral demands. I do not know why you are so anti-UK but perfectly happy to be a little nationalistic authoritarian for a supranational with delusions of sovereign replacement instead. Instead you should think of Tony Benn - what power do they have, how did they get it, and how would you get rid of them? If you do, you should not like the answers.

You may have no reasonable expectation of absolute privacy (ie a single photograph or video capture), but that does not extend to not having a reasonable expectation of not being harassed, stalked, tracked, or followed. This is particularly important when done systemically - for example I don't think we'd be comfortable with a private coherent surveillance network just because a corporation contracted with individual homeowners living beside train stations or major employers.

Not everyone drives to work, particularly those working in premium retail locations in congested cities. As I said, it's completely reasonable to bring a bag to work and expect the employer to accomodate.

It's completely reasonable to bring a bag to work and expect the employer to accomodate. People have commitments, travel arrangements, personal goals, and fun stuff to do after work. Good employers would be happy to have their staff happier at near zero cost.

> Their world view is widespread, and has been for ever. The best counter to it is good education. You seem to hold absolutely ridiculous binary position on a complex subject. You have a monopoly on neither truth nor travel. You don't understand the difference between a concrete political entity and the platonic ideal thereof. I have no idea why you think politicians from a different side are acting purely in their own interest, whilst those you agree with and want a European superstate are all kind and noble and this has nothing to do the usual command structures, power, and access to hand out other people's money. You are assuming your own perfection and removing human qualities from those you disagree with. You claim an objective truth exists for which you are a high priest based on "reason" which is not much in evidence in your post. Frankly you sound dangerously authoritarian and deranged.

You're a shining example only of dehumanising those who disagree with you.

Well I hire too, and I do not hire humorless and dispropotionate people like yourself who do not understand what professionalism means, but do revel in the limited private power granted to you by an employer as if it includes some kind of moral authority. Making some lowbrow jokes on a volunteer project is not a crime, and it does not merit being added to an extrajudicial employment black list.

How old are you that references to a penis is the height of comedy?

Is your argument that appropriateness is dependent on your taste?

I don't use it exclusively, but these features are what swung me. 1) mini map - a godsend when understanding quickly the structure of large files, particularly those you are lumbered with 2) slick multi-select and edit 3) fast search all files and interactive step though 4) same L&F on Mac, Windows, Linux since I need to use all three.

> GPS refers specifically to the system implemented by the NAVSTAR satellite constellation operated by the United States Air Force, > has for decades, and no one in the industry uses the term to refer to anything else. If an org wants to have domain squatting rights on the English language, maybe it could fucking well name its shit more creatively. It would be like a dreary large computer company calling their product the Personal Computer. If they made bread, they'd probably call it "Bread".

So? That book is not universally regarded by many grammarians (note the passive voice).

Computers are not an American invention. You did well though to nab Germans to build rockets for you.
