Why can't the motive simply be "What I post on Slashdot is nobody's business"?
If it's nobody's business, why post it?

I am afraid to post this comment. I am sure that I will get categorized as a dissident for it.
You are the heart of the problem. The brave aren't easily terrorized. The government has acted criminally, and I voice my dissent publicly.
Not that it will do any good.
Don't buy anything.
Grow your own crops and raise animals? The form of barter called "cash" works just as well if you don't want corporations stalking you.
...let alone actually be able to offer clothes that match.
Clothes that match? I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.
I've done it a few times, the results were hilarious, if almost hitting pedestrians on the sidewalk is your version of hilarious.
Maybe it's the reefer, but I laughed for a long time about that. Thank you, sir!
I'll be 98 in 2050, I'm sure I'll need them. Or maybe not, dead men don't need hearing aids. As to the tracking, as long as it's on their own property, why not? They know what I buy at their store anyway, unless I pay in cash.
"Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."
I've been voting "third party" for quite a few elections now.
Tough room... I'll get my coat.
Will do. I'm still editing and making minor changes so it will probably be a few more months, but I'll email a PDF when I send it to the printers. I'm publishing under the same license Cory Doctorow uses; he credits that with his status as a NYT best seller, and I think I write better than he does (of course, I'm probably the only one that thinks that).

I'm offtopic here (checking the "no bonus" boxes), but I notice you continue to omit the needed space between "gear" and "(I'm just guessing)". Your comments would be more readable (and more easily taken seriously) if you followed centuries old proper formatting rules.
Minor nit, far better than some folks here's "todays special's" or "there car is over their". If I were moderating I'd probably have modded you up despite the rather annoying mistake.
I think you're misunderstanding him. When he says "my job prospects" I think he means "our job prospects." Meanwhile, I'm out of the job market next year. I'll be echoing MLK: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty I'm free at last!"
As for the greens, I'm OK with them for the most part. I just don't see pot as being an important enough issue to warrant establishing an entire political party around it.
Actually, I think the Greens' main platform is the environment.
I'll even go so far as to say that the first presidential candidate in 2016 who declares universal single-payer health care as a part of their platform will get my vote as long as I don't have to write them in.
We had a Congressional candidate last election, a medical doctor, who wanted medicare for everyone. Unfortunately, the tea party candidate beat him.
I'd like to have a labor party here.
With your bare hands?!?
