My first computer was a TRS-80 CoCo2 (That's Color Computer 2 for you youngins) with a whopping 16KB of RAM

Today, my computer is a mid-2011 iMac with 32GB of RAM

60 some odd years later, what Hitler wanted comes back to life -- a chance to spy on the people for the sake of "saving Christianity", "saving Germany", "saving Europe", "saving children", and soon, themselves.

No, thank you. This world doesn't need this kind of technology to help the modern equivalent of the KGB or the Stassi.

Where were they at when the biggest virus to hit the internet - Windows 7 - was released? Sitting on their asses watching all the blinkenlights?

Its possible that he's working for the US government to get Assange to the US where he (Assange) can be promptly arrested and per^H^H^Hprosecuted for some crime that hasn't been committed.

I'll drink to that!!!

From a different point of view, this could be the "great equalizer". Voted for Prop 8? Pro-gay marriage ads on your plate! Atheist? Jesus ads! Sex predator? "I'm a sex predator" ad 24/7! The possibilities are endless!

I can't believe no one has asked this yet.

All takeoffs are optional. All landings are mandatory.

If I had a choice between taking off into air heavily polluted with ash from a volcano and staying on terra firma, I'm staying on the ground.

Branson should stop bitching about the flight ban as his barely profitable Virgin Trains stands to make a very nice profit from this mess.

I find it disturbing that the "aircraft of the future" will be made of a white tube sock. Worse, it'll have holes in the sock for doors and windows.

Unlike now where the "victim" needs to think to remember what the "suspect" looks like, with this, it'll be easier to describe the "suspect" with an "instant" response (photo); just keep spewing crap till the new picture matches the first picture.

This is the perfect tool to throw someone off.

Commit a crime but "become a victim". Falsely describe who you saw and bam, they're in jail and you are "free".

"Yes ossifer, the man that robbed that liquor store was a black man, about 6-1/2 feet tall, dingy yellow/blonde short hair, lots of tattoos on his body, earrings. Just looking at him, I think he plays basketball.". A short time later after the call goes out, some cops arrest Dennis Rodman for a crime he didn't commit.

What you're asking him to do could land him in a South American possibly never to be seen again. If the cops don't haul him away, they'll ask him for a "gift for the family". Either way, doing this isn't a good thing. Ever.

Witopia is what you need.

$40/year. Use it!

You're welcome.

The perfect weapon for the pigs... fucks with the subject, can be easily denied ("bright lights? You taking drugs again?"), and it leaves no trace of "torture" even when used multiple times.

The DHS has always held the belief (with the Supreme Court's backing) that people and their belongings at customs checkpoints at the airport (or at a border crossing) aren't within the country (yet), consequently, the constitution doesn't apply to "inspections" within those checkpoints. That gives the DHS and their goons all the leeway they want in "confiscating" or "inspecting" all the stuff they want for as long as they want.

Does this press release change anything? Not really. It just lays some groundwork for more "routine" searches. Anything beyond that they have to give some bullshit reason ("national security") to keep it longer.

What's to stop this bullshit agency from making a mockery of their press releases? I can guarantee you that the goons they have on the "front lines" haven't been told about this "press release".
