Don't threaten me with a good time.

I use my Toslink for my sound bar. All my HDMI ports are dedicated to my various content boxes or gaming systems. Optical audio works well enough.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz has been trying to warn the American people about some pretty disturbing stuff the government is doing with facial recognition. Basically if you have a drivers license, there is a 50/50 chance you are in the FBI's database. He also hints that any social media account you have with a picture is linked.

Air is a poor conductor of thermal energy so you would still need a CPU heat sink / cooler fan. In that case, it would cool the CPU slightly more efficiently due to the increased delta in temperature. If you were trying to run the computer without the CPU heat sink / fan, your CPU would burn up slightly slower than it would at room temperature because the air, no matter how cold it is, just cant conduct the heat away from the CPU fast enough.

A Comcast add in my /. feed?!?

Bad dog! You go outside!

Shouldn't colleges develop and own their own text books as a regular part of offering a class or curriculum? That should be the value you receive from higher education, not having a TA read a mass market book to you for two hours a week.

You can still submit FOIA requests through their web portal here - https://efoia.fbi.gov/

The value of sites like Twitter and Reddit isn't in allowing individuals to have a voice. The real money is being able to demonstrate the ability to control the narrative. The model is to gain a large user base, gain control of the narrative, then sell that echo chamber to the powers that be. That's how Fox News became a thing. CNN, MSNBC and others are emulating that model. Gawker has been successful with it as well. This is the way the 'New Media' works. Censorship is part of the business model and to lose control of the narrative is to lose all value to your REAL customers.

So the far left is just as scary, if not more scary, than the far right? People living in actual socialist countries have been telling us this for decades and only now are we actually getting the smallest little sampling of it ourselves. Just ask Garry Kasparov.

I think it looks like a case of Parallel Construction. They have had the capability all along but haven't had a legit reason to use it publicly. They probably had to rent out their own system to this security company to do the work for them to maintain deniability.

How about a small sign that says "No Cameras". Why is that so hard?

The TSA only exists because of Low IQ citizens and Politicians. the TSA is not needed at all and is a huge waste of money.

The TSA is a government jobs program. It employs over 55,000 people with little to no marketable skills or training. It's obvious to everyone that the TSA is a waste but its not going away because it would spike the unemployment rate and hurt our economic recovery.

There is still a Playboy app available for iOS in the App Store.

Google wants to put the fiber on the poles up on the top where the power lines are and are free to do so providing they use the appropriate cable shielding and grounding methods according to industry standards. If they go this route they need have their cable installed by journeyman linemen because they have the training and equipment needed to work around high voltage power lines safely. Google is complaining and wants to use their own workers instead because a journeyman lineman in Kansas City has an hourly rate of about $50/hr. The problem is that Google's workers dont have the training or equipment that the linemen do and will most likely electrocute themselves. Their other option is to use their own workers but move their cable down away from the power lines into the telephone / TV section of the pole but pay for the pole usage fees.
