Government surveillance is necessary in this date and age to protect not only our Freedoms but also our security.
England, the USofA, and the rest of the Free World have fought a long and hard battle against totalitarian, oppressive and stifling governments. And with the current trend of indiscriminate searching, monitoring and spying on its citizens, the Free World will stay free.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over how wrong you are. A free world would consist of an armed people protecting itself everyday, not a dictatorship in disguise as a 'Free World'
Comment Not having a degree saved my arse (Score 1) 655
Not sure about everyone else, but when the recession hit the fact that I didn't have a degree saved me from the chopping block. Because I perform just as well as my counterparts with degree's I was not axed in the workforce reduction, same could not be said for everyone however. Sure I get paid less, but the difference between owning a 3 bedroom home and a 5 bedroom home means nothing to me.

Submission + - Why Silicon-Based Aliens Would Rather Eat our Citi (universetoday.com)
Nancy_A writes: "While the world as we know it runs on Carbon, science fiction’s long flirtation with Silicon-based life — “It’s life, but not as we know it” — has become a familiar catchphrase.
Although non-Carbon based life is a very long shot, this Q&A with one of the US's top astrochemists — Max Bernstein, the Research Lead of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA headquarters in Washington,D.C. discusses what silicon life might be like."

Submission + - No, Dell: graphics cards don't improve Windows wal (pcpro.co.uk)
Barence writes: "Dell's website includes a guide to graphics cards for PC novices which contains a dangerous chunk of misinformation. The monitor on the left, labelled as a PC that uses a “standard graphics card”, is displaying a Windows desktop that’s washed out and blurry. The seemingly identical Dell TFT on the right, powered by a “high-end graphics card”, is showing the same desktop – but this time it’s much sharper and more vivid. They’re both outputting at the same resolution."
Submission + - Verizon breaking FCC Law (xda-developers.com)
PcItalian writes: FTA: The open access provision requires Verizon to “not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee’s C Block network.” It goes on to say, “The potential for excessive bandwidth demand alone shall not constitute grounds for denying, limiting or restricting access to the network.” Verizon bought Block C and tried to have the provisions removed. They failed. The provisions are still there, Verizon has the Block C license. That means if a device uses the Block C frequencies, Verizon cannot insist what apps or firmware it runs. It also means they can’t limit data plans for those devices. Which is odd, because I remember Verizon dropping unlimited data plans back in July 2011.
So the question is, do any devices use Block C frequencies? Yes. Some are called Hotspots. Others are called the HTC Thunderbolt. And there may be more...

So Google makes a billion dollars in profit doing something they later get fined half a billion dollars for. What exactly is the incentive to not do something like this again in the future? Seems like paying a fine is a cost of doing business that is well worth it in these cases!
If they repeat Google will be fined for a larger sum since its the second offense, cutting into their "illegal" profiting.
