Agreed. And basically that is exactly what I said.

By 2008 we were well into the “you should know better than give up personal data” era. That is no excuse. People are just stupid and don’t care.

There were all sorts of publications telling people to protect their personal information, online and in the meat world by 2001, let alone 2008.

I don’t want to victim blame, but going right into this with all the warnings seems pretty stupid to me.

Now what does suck, and horribly so, is that there should be nothing of value gained from that data: there should be laws against nearly everything they could use for corporate advantage, exploitation, identity, etc. With severe consequences.

That is the failure.

Fuck Microsoft. We tried to get a open standard and so they created a competing name and standard to confuse and obfuscate (and wasn’t really a standard anyone could create).

So they can go get bent.

Robocop vs Terminator was a interesting comic. The premise being that Skynet interacted with RoboCop’s cyborg brain which is how it gained sentience and was able to bring about war. The fact it was a cops brain, well there you go.

Nothing better to do then this?

Trying to decide who gets to have a government approved contract for the thing people are going to do anyways?

What a bunch of do nothing waste of time assholes.
