Arkham asylum was pretty good...I have a copy that came with my video
card. I even thought the PC version looked better than teh XBox 360
versionat least on my system it did.

I don't understand how you can copy an API in the first place. Can
somebody explain to me why this has not already been laughed out of
court?

I usually am not that engaged on this issue, but I did want to note in
passing that I applaud Obama for saying something about this when the
conventional wisdom was that it was not in his own best interests to do so.
Even if he was pushed :) He still did the right thing and I think a little
less

This appears to say that domestic drone video/data can be kept for 90 days.
How long is satellite video/data
good question and I don't know. I wasn't even aware the Air Force was
using drones in the US. I find the idea slightly chilling considering
how they are used elsewhere.

Border patrol wants to use them on the US Canadian border and I
believe they are testing unarmed drones, for surveillance only, on the
Mexican border.
Here's a thought experiment, what's better, for the data to be only in
the hands of corporate or government hands, or available to anyone?
On
what data are we talking about exactly? Now there's a question. Is
this an advanced version of google maps? With intercept capability? Or
is there eavesdropping capability as well?
Offhand, I'd choose corporate. I can tell Google to F* off if I so choose.

If its something like that, how different is it from the police using
helicopters or even a cop on the beat. I think the issue is who get
the data and how long is it kept for. I trust corporations as much as
I'd trust governments.

There a re a bunch of local police forces that have gotten into the drone
business. I saw an article about them being used in Dallas recently.
What's funny is that even though these local police are using the the DHS

He really gains nothing from it. If anything it hurts him.
The teahadis who are mostly against same sex marriage are not going to
vote for him anyhow. Those on the left will probably vote for him
regardless, what other choice do they have. It will cost him with a

I agreethis does not seem to help him politically...at least in the
short term. I thought that was refreshing.

I don't.

I think that he was simply being honest about what he thought about
it. I guess he would have preferred to wait but after Biden decided to
speak out, he thought he had no real reason not to.
Essentially it may be an empty issue, and best to get it out of the
way now rather than at a more
shrug, maybe they heard enough from people like me saying dude, quit trying
to find common ground with people determined to undermine you or who are
pushing their own agenda to the exclusion of yours. Do something that needs
to be done. Period.
Or maybe as you say, they see something I don't.
once Biden opened his mouth Obama would have looked weak if he tried to
spin it. And the Defense of Marriage crew weren't going to be on his side
for the most part anyway, with the exception of the fundamentalist black
community. They are the question mark. Don't think they'll vote against
Obama
Here is my take on it, and one I have seen in many places. He is losing
support due to his actions in regards to privacy, in continuing Bush era
policies, in the ever growing national debt and the horrible economy. He
has shown time and again that he doesn't feel the need to meet his campaign
I think that's kinda true except I started from supporting him and I gather
you didn't
support due to his actions in regards to privacy,
definitely a disappointment in this area
in continuing Bush era policies,
and this one
in the ever growing national debt and the horrible economy.
