The future is now. How cool is that? (Ok, it's really, really wrong too.)

Ever hear the Oingo Boingo song "Wake up! It's 1984!"

Hey, that's COOL! But wait, that's not so cool... confuse.gif

If we couldn't before, we can pretty much kiss any semblance of privacy good-bye before too much longer.

Ammo on the porch and now this! rolleyes

I don't think there's such a thing as privacy much anymore.

Oh, come on, Poncho, what's HIPAA about if there's no privacy? BTW, I'm being sarcastic.

But don't we need such wonderful laws as HIPAA to keep pharmacists from publicly posting on a bulletin board all the private information they get about clients? Oh wait, pharmacists respected privacy even before HIPAA.

what a bunch of crap. That article is full of hearsay and has nothing to do with reality. Spyware to control dragonflies!? Um... people... spyware is what loads onto your computer and shows you ads when you don't want them...

If there's any truth in the ad, it's that this reporter was bugged out. And I can imagine a whole bunch of antiwar activists stoned out of their minds imagining up this crap.

With your new avatar, could you kindly keep the word "crap" down to less than once per post? You made me shiver. Thanks, buddy. thumbsup.gif

Is crap a bad word? Growing up, etc... it's always been a regular word for me and my parents... but we were California Mormons... and well... that's a whole different sect of mormonism. :) (essentially we say "crap" and don't drink caffienated pop)

I use the word crap. But I think you kind of missed the inference Coco was making there Ray between the word crap and your avatar. Think about it, take your time it'll come to you. idea.gif

Crap... ass... get it?

Butt yeah, if you didn't drink caffeine, I guess that makes up for certain words. I don't even drink carbonation, hence the a-word. wink.gif
