Its certainly a more complete solution but probably costs too much for the average person to use on their own home. Even $99 for a lockitron is too expensive to interest me at all.

Attacking someone who is attacking you is also a form of defense. Please let Sun Tzu know if you have questions. This is very important and not intuitive at all, though I don't particularly care about helping you to understand it bette

There's no reason to believe the US government has to make any real effort to make sure voters are misinformed. They seem to manage it just fine on their own.

Published it where? The only link I can find is http://www.spiegel.de/media/media-35668.pdf , and calling that source code is a bit generous to say the least.

Consumers are overrated. Do you really think Sysco is going to go under because the average guy on the street doesn't know or care about them?

There's a significant chunk of folk who will not hit on anyone at all because they have no confidence or social skills. We get along just fine without them.

Hey, preferring some playback devices because of your cultural background is just as valid as preferring some of them because they have higher pitches. You like what you like. But they're all "real". Artificial doesn't m

The real thing is also a recording, it's the memory of the music and the playing skill recorded in the violinist's mind, with the musician and his violin as the playback device rather than a speaker. You prefer the acoustic qualit

Just because the symbol's original meaning is no longer relevant doesn't mean we should get rid of the symbol. We still use a floppy disk as the save icon in every software, after all.

Come on, even comedians know better than to think they are actually breaking any laws. Why take that risk when you can just legalize whatever you want to do without telling anyone?

I would say that the statement easily disproven by a single counterexample is more ignorant, but suit yourself.

Whether this is "good enough" for them to keep doing what they do wasn't the question. The question was whether they were doing their best to influence public opinion.

Right. These things don't sell because they are common and so people don't care. Not because the media is intentionally suppressing them.

What if the officials are mind-controlled by alien slugs? What if the NSA is actually a terminator skynet sent back from the future? There are lots of scenarios in which we're screwed and can't do anything about it. That's li
