People just have no clue about what the NSA was or wasn't doing and just like to point fingers. People love to make NSA the bad guy without understanding anything at all. Blows my mind.

Edward Snowden was not a hero. He was a coward. Someone who wanted attention and decided to smear the most important organization in our country to get it.
 
Good luck with an attitude like that. They will ask if you have ever talked badly about the NSA during your polygraph for your clearance.

Not only are they the good guy, they are the ONLY good guy protecting you from millions of attacks every day and they are VERY good at what they do.
 
A coward does not give up a $200K/year job and a hot girlfriend for attention.
Whatever the truth is, it will probably take decades for it to come out; but come out it will, because the Truth simply IS, no matter how it might be covered over.
When I think of data mining, I think of a company finding ways to derive useful information out of its OWN data, typically historical in nature. Consider the work of Actuaries, for example. Companies collect all kinds of data, and "mining" that data is about finding correlations, learning what predicts what, exposing causalities; stuff like that.
Data COLLECTION is what Microsoft, Google, NSA, and others do. That data is then mined by Advertisers, Law Enforcement, or the parasites, to get information useful to them out of it.

 
On a different note, I did some electrical work recently and installed my new boost gauge!

This one is SO MUCH better than the last one I had in this car. This new one is a Prosport Premium with peak recall. It better matches my gauge cluster, and has a button where you press it and it shows the max boost you made. Very useful. It is also a fully electronic, not mechanical gauge. This means there is a computer under the hood that you connect the vacuum line to and then just run a single cable through the firewall to the gauge instead of running the vacuum line through the firewall for a mechanical gauge. I just did the install yesterday and haven't hit full boost yet (21psi-ish) but you can see the peak recall button working in the second picture showing the max boost I made when I last drove the car.

Well, I got the name of the guy, but Google reveals nothing, so I'm pretty sure its a pseudonym. Unless I misheard his first name, which would make sense.I heard Andrew Rogers, but I also googled Antony and Anthony.
 
Tiny - OOoOo...aAaAa....perrrrrty lights!!!

Got another driving lesson with an actual school today :)

Props to my mom for teaching me....if I could take my drivers test now, I would pass. I know it. But also thanks a lot for those tips tiny :) Really boosted my confidence.
 
Glad the tips helped and you are more confident.

We are actually in the market for another car. My GF wants something to drive to work (10 blocks) when it is raining and when it gets to be the colder months so it's time to start the search! It'll be something cheaper for sure. Not a beater, but close.
 
Nothing new. Something Japanese and early-mid 2000s. Civic, Corolla, SX4, Sentra, Protege, something like that. Maybe a Subaru, but only if we can get one with the headgaskets already replaced. AWD would be nice for the weather. She will only have it for like 2 years though.
 
I love oldschool bikes like that.

I texted my dad a picture of my new boost gauge and he replied by saying that he was at the salvage yard getting a window switch for our minivan, and he saw my old Honda Prelude (what's left of it) in the yard. Kind of weird that it is still there.
