Retire the penny use your bank card, checkbook, or credit card. Thanks to inflation, if the cost of producing a monetary item, it should be discontinued, all in circulation should be returned and quarters distributed. Does anyone even have a half-penny? How bout we each save a roll of pennies for two hundred years, so future generations will see the wasteful financial burden which was created when our economy wasn’t as over inflated. How bout we deflate the bubble, and do a devaluation/consolidation, by restructuring our dollars back to 1822.

I like drooling over music gadets. I’d really like to play with one of these synths. Maybe for my birthday.

EFF protects phone-in prescriptions from illegal wiretap
Ok, well that’s really only half of it. I think most of us like the government doing it’s best to fight crime and the likes, but not at the destruction of US citizens Fourth Amendment rights. Find a better way to do it. The government currently uses a device called a pen/trap to collect numbers dialed from a telephone, suppose this device captures your voicemail passcode, or SS# with other information when filling a prescription, or even information you have entered into a telephone chat service. Does the government really need to know that their intelligence mark, refills his erectile disfunction medication frequently and is also looking to chat with an 18 F from 90210? Sure if they were trying to entrap him/her.
The EFF filed a brief recently, which argued that in order for the government to collect any content of a telephone call, including the numbers dialed on a phone keypad, it must first have a warrant. I honestly cannot imagine the vast array of information big brother has gathered illegally, from telephone and internet pen/traps.
