Been a long time...

And I've been, well, less than myself. Too much work with far too little reward or meaning. But all that's over now, so I can get back to stuff that really matters. Like bitching about things that everyone else heard about months ago.

F'r instance, the UK police are getting the same sorts of powers assumed by the federal government in the US (that are a clear violation of the US constitution), that is, the authority to root through your computer without a warrant. Good thing that we're all so past 1984, and so done with references to 1984, and so bored with that show about living in a surveillance society, so that this is really a non-issue. I mean, it's not like the UK police have ever misused power, right? Not like those US types, anyway. Right
