So in other words, in a program that is hypersecret, we don't have any evidence that has yet come forth that shows an abuse. Great, Im completely convinced! BrutalTM has it right... Even if we had 100% proof that the NSA data hasn't been abused yet, you are woefully naive if you think it...

The main issue I have with something like this, especially in conjunction with ubiquitous surveillance, is that is how we all commit crimes everyday without knowing it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...every-day.html http://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies.../dp/1594035229...

I don't get the hate. Maybe it is because I didn't see them as a kid, but the comic book sentinels that I have seen look horrible. These look much more like a bipedal robot that a modern lab would make.

Wait, you were the fucking tard that was arguing that it was pointless to talk about the unconstitutionality of gun laws because no one could actually know if it was unconstitutional until the supreme court made a ruling. Uggh, tad was right, I'm out.

You asked for proof, I gave it to you. On the other hand, you completely ignored me pointing out that your stand of expectation of privacy is only if there is 0% chance that someone might see it (legally or illegally), which is absurd. Also, yeah, I do wonder if you have ever read the 4th...

Sure, it is possible that the courts will find this constitutional. The courts have ruled plenty of fucking ridiculous shit in the past. That doesn't mean it sure as fuck doesn't violate any reasonable person's definition of a warrant requiring some probable cause.

Instead of linking something to try and prove your superiority, try and read what I fucking said. Yes, you are damn right I expect privacy when I send emails, text messages and the like.I don't expect 100% perfect privacy though, which seems to be your own made up standard. Obviously it is...

I missed this post of yours and it is completely disingenuous on multiple levels. The argument isn't that the laws that were passed are unconstitutional, it is that they are being applied in a much broader and comprehensive way than anyone at the time understood the law to mean. Also, it is...

So the standard is 100% confidential and private. Seriously?

On the constitutional analysis... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...276402574.html is an op-ed arguing that it is unconstitutional. Then this op-edhttp://articles.washingtonpost.com/2...a-surveillanceargues that it might be legal but it isn't constitutional. From the Washington post...

While I love parks and rec, I have never really liked Chris Pratt. Considering how almost universally popular he is, I just consider it a character flaw on my part and just try and enjoy his parts as much as I can.

Sorry bro, Im not your legal assistant. If you can't see how the only oversight to such widespread surveillance being a rubber-stamp court then I am not going to try and convince you. Hell, even the president now (who has been shilling for this shit hard) has realized this shit isn't going to...

Reasonable is not completely widespread powers to search anything they want with oversight from a kangaroo rubberstamp court. If what is going on isn't a breach of the 4th amendment, it might as well not even exist.

I didn't follow the comics but yeah, I had kinda assumed after the movies that Loki was a Big Bad. Is he not in the comics? He was fucking great in Thor and Avengers, to me the best parts of both involved him. Great job with the character.

You just fucking sold me on the movie with that tagline. They should rename the movie that.

I also thought that was a sarcastic post so skipped most of it.

It really bothers me how uninformed people still are on this case. I was hoping that after the case finished, the information presented at the trial would slowly trickle out. Instead, it seems if anything the opposite is happening.

Maybe because the person looked like they weren't that rich. Or the salesperson was embarrassed about the ridiculous price (what the owner claims). Or maybe the salesperson just thought it was a silly price and wanted customers not to waste their money. Of course, it also could have been...

Can't wait. Loved s1, s2 less so, but the acting is incredible so I have high hopes for this season.

Don't know if anyone brought this up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Cq7bI4d70(for RPPed folks) So she has a shitty encounter with a salesperson who never once mentions race. Yet she immediately blames race for the incident. Very disappointed in Oprah over this and her comparing...

Sorry, I believe you. I just meant (as Utnayan figured) that Microsoft is being boneheaded.

That is just trolling, win8 is horrible. Might as well just leave it console exclusive

A simple thought experiment: Would you feel safer and think it was easier to get funds as a terrorist a week before 9/11 or now? The answer is obviously before 9/11. It is undoubtedly true that Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have taken a huge hit and are having a harder time funneling...

Duppin being duppin. If I happen to go there I'll be carrying also, but their coffee is nasty

How did it work? Scammers got plates and title but no car. They also managed to commit a felony and leave plenty of evidence that they did so.

Well, I agree that is what Duppin and Numbers tried to do.

I have to agree, it really seems like a felony. It is a straight up obvious scam at this point, since they have the plates and the title at this point and you are down $9,000. It would awesome if you sent this loser's boyfriend back to jail.

It is hilarious, especially when they say things like "We shouldn't take anything anyone says seriously over the internet, its all trolling" and yet get bent out of shape at someone calling their actions racist over the internet.

That was me trolling bro :|. I know you got all worked up in the boston marathon thread about that.

He might say he isn't liberal, but he is an english professor, so it is required by law that he be slightly to the left of Stalin. Nah, I'm a math professor.

Yeah, you could figure that Tanoomba is just a complete troll persona... Or you could take his posts as holding a grain of truth of his personality, that he is a liberal english professor that holds very strong views on racism and sexism. Sometimes these views lead him astray into seeing it...

Sure, I agree with that. A great example of that is the Girls who broke your heart thread. However, if someone spends 100 pages arguing that it is pointless (and a sign of weakness) for men to have a friendship with a woman and that women are just genetically inferior, well, that guy is probably...

Well, I guess I just disagree on this. I tend to think if someone posts like an asshole, they are probably an asshole. If they post rationally, they are probably a rational person. If they spend most of their time online ranting about how stupid and irrational women are, Im probably going to...

You don't think there is even a little bit of a grain of truth to that Hodj? I mean, check out most of the posts on "Can women be friends" thread or large portions of this thread and its predecessor.

I gotta say, giving qwerty a +net is pretty much unforgivable. I am really only ever interested in the non-MMO sections of this forum. The MMO section is just full of basement virgins, bad gamers who can't handle high-paced comments and idiots that just complain about everything that isn't...

Yeah, that is what I meant. He meets all these other smart and capable women, who he immediately drops for the glorified whore whenever she shows up. Which wouldn't be so much of a problem if she didn't show up constantly, no matter how absurd the coincidences it would require for her to show up...

I am not sure this is true. I have never met anyone that really enjoyed the Denna character. It is glaring how bad she is in an otherwise solid series.

This is no joke. Imagine if Al Qaeda managed to take down steam deals for an entire month. I'd have too much cash to spend on other shit and my entire life might collapse.

Yes, Tanoomba said that and if you recall, I made fun of him when he did it at the time and he has since changed his mind in regards to that anyway. I am not whiteknighting Tanoomba, I just happen to agree with him on some of what he is saying. I still disagree with him on whether Zimmerman was...
