...advertising air ships just like in Blade Runner. Bio-manufactured organs are comming next.

...or they could be mixed up at the lab, like how a man named Rene Sanchez, arrested for DWI, has his prints mixed up with a drug dealer by the name of Leo Rosario. He got hauled into court numerous times because the cops were sure he was the other guy, and even went through deportation hearings before the records were finally fixed. I thought of this case and thought of Brazil. The NYTimes had a nice article on Mr. Sanchez, but unfortunately its in their archives now (i.e. they want you to pay to access the article).

Yea, and hopefully it will attract some gay niggers from outer space

I am a religious man, but I have to say the Mark of the Beast is WAY overhyped with the RFID.

What you don't understand (or maybe you do) is that "even better" technology exists to facilitate such a "mark". You have thumbprints, you have unique DNA.

Watch the movie Gattaca - it will show you how we will be tracked in the future. There's nothing about RFID there. THis said, I think we will also be able to be located by thermal scan or biorythm as easily as GPS. This is already somewhat possible. All it would take is required thermal/biorythm monitors in all public places. These would be cameras, but identifiers. They could be pitched as "identification control" - see it wouldn't record that you did a crime, but if a crime were committed - your biorythm could be placed at the crimescene.

The future of payment lies within the "number of his name" as the mark of the beast.

First, you have to obtain a copy of GAY NIGGERS FROM OUTER SPACE THE MOVIE and watch it. (You can download the movie (~280mb) using BitTorrent, by clicking here.

Second, you need to succeed in posting a GNAA "first post" on slashdot.org, a popular "news for trolls" website

Third, you need to join the official GNAA irc channel #GNAA on EFNet, and apply for membership.
Talk to one of the ops or any of the other members in the channel to sign up today!

If you are having trouble locating #GNAA, the official GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA irc channel, you might be on a wrong irc network. The correct network is EFNet, and you can connect to irc.secsup.org or irc.isprime.com as one of the EFNet servers.

Border collies are smart precisely because they are inbred -- they are inbred to be good working dogs.

When people talk about "stupid inbred dogs" they are invariably talking about show dogs -- dogs inbred for appearance first and foremost -- and for very strict behavior secondly.

Inbreeding is with respect to a certain set of traits for which you are evolving the breed.

Border collies are just the opposite of show dogs. They are inbred for working farms -- generally tending sheep. For farm economy their health is important here as well as their intelligence -- so they are inbred for both of those traits -- but they are _not_ inbred for appearance or "show behavior" so they aren't going to do well at American Kennel Association shows as portrayed in the hilarious but misleading (about breeding) film "Best In Show".

These guys did it in only 107 minutes.

Gotta start moving at webspeed, folks.

Other good movies in this genre which deal with real life cases of academic bureaucracy are Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet and The Story of Louis Pasteur, Madame Curie, and Yellow Jack. It is amazing how many times throughout history, the untalented have thrown up roadblock after roadblock at scientific progress. Not preachers causing trouble, mind you, but professional academic careerists who are the trouble makers.

Turner Classic Movies has a searchable schedule which tells when these great films will be on next.

Ok, so 5 days ago we hear that the city of Baltimore is going to delete all of its old email because they can't afford the disk space to store it. And now they want to add hundreds or thousands of cameras? Any idea how much storage those will require? Ok, they get some federal grants but doesn't it seem like priorities are a little off here?

Maybe they should just keep all the porn spam they would otherwise be deleting and unblock voyeurweb on the city firewalls so they don't have do go around leering non-consensually at members of the public.

Some people pointed out the difference between public and private spaces and that we had a right to expect privacy in private spaces and not in public spaces. However, that depends on your income. If you have a lot of money, you live in your own place with no housemates (except perhaps spouse and kids) and rent hotels for affairs, so your house is private. If you don't have a lot of money, however, you may have 3 roomates, parents, grandparents, etc. and you may go out in "public" (say to a park) in order to get some "privacy". In poor neighborhoods, the cameras will be owned by the state. In rich neighborhoods, the cameras will be owned by the residents.

What happens when they integrate face recognition technology and can track people everywhere? Except the ones who take the trouble to wear masks? Robbers will wear ski masks. Terrorists will wear hollywood style identity concealing but human looking masks. Right now, most of the cameras are in private hands and the government has to ASK for the tapes. And they can't run real time face recognition networks.

And as far as detering crime, serious criminals - let alone terrorists and suicide bombers - are not dettered by cameras. A camera is not going to run up and save your ass like an actual beat cop might. On the other hand, it has a chilling effect on people who engage in victimless "crimes" like smoking a joint, having a little sex behind the bushes, streaking, and pissing on a tree because you couldn't walk all the way home.

If you drive around on public roads, you have a reasonable expectation that police may see some portion of your activities. On the other hand, if a policeman rides your bumper all day long, you have serious issues of harrasment and discriminatory enforcement. Not to mention they will make you so nervous you will become distracted and violate some traffic reg. A friend once demonstrated that he could induce other drivers to drive off the road (at least he did it on safe streatches of road) by getting them to look in the rear view mirror by doing things like riding their ass. And a driver looking in the rear view mirror doesn't realize it but he is now following the car behind him. If that car drives off the road, so will he. Excessive public surveilence is like riding your bumper except you don't even know when you are being singled out and can't get a restraining order or take precautions. Will Driving While Black be replaced by Walking While Black?

But if you never do anything the religious right would object to and you think your government can always be trusted, then you can ignore the issue. Might I suggest you spend the time saved in such frivolous pursuits as watching a movie: The Fugative , Minority Report , Dark Angel , Blade Runner , Brazil ; or reading a book: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or Brave New World. And that is all just light fiction. It is the non-fiction that will really creep you out.

What? Me fail history and geography? That's umpossible!

Besides spelling, for writing "umpossible" with a "u", you fail history. You did fight a war against the UK in 1812. But your sorry ass was saved by a pirate named Jean Laffitte. However, the military industrial complex doesn't want you to know about this because they don't want to encourage piracy. You see, they even got a Russian to play the pirate role. Americans should never be pirates, even in film.

After the ruling, Judge Kimball stood up and shouted, "It's not a tumor!" to a bunch of stunned kids in a classro... oh sorry wrong story.

I can't stand puzzle games that force you to solve puzzles for nothing more than plot advancement, where it feels like half of the puzzles were only put in for the sake of having puzzles, with no thought to how they relate to anything.

You mean like Myst?

Every puzzle in Myst is part of a larger system of puzzles - they may not appear to have any connection to each other at first, but when you look deeper, you realize that each puzzle in an area relates to all the other ones. Together, they form a complete system, and that system exists in the game world for a purpose. Figuring out that purpose is the key to solving the puzzles. Once you understand what the system exists to do, solving it becomes rather simple.

Though that game didn't even have plot advancement, really.

The Myst series does, in fact, have a plot. A rather good one, especially if you read the accompanying novels. The plot doesn't jump out and beat you over the head, and like the puzzles, it takes a while to figure out, leading to the (apparently common) perception that Myst had no plot. It's there, but you have to think to see it. And isn't that the whole point of a "thinking" game? :)

As the series went on, the plots have gotten more and more obviously stated. Myst 3 focused on the plot a lot more than Myst or Riven did - it helps that the technology has advanced to the point of allowing them to insert actors into their world more convincingly. Myst 3 had Brad Dourif in the prominent role, who you might recognize from A recent movie.

I know exactly what you mean. Chuck Palahniuk describes it as a town of fugitives and refugees. It's the kind of place where pedestrians and bicyclists have the right of way, regardless of what the street lights might read, and you don't turn into a street until after everyone has crossed (the opposite of Dallas, at least). It's also the kind of place where an office lunch is just as likely to be held in a bar as in the local sandwich shop. Speaking of bars, the area's known for its microbreweries as well. And there's Powell's Books, of course, the largest bookstore in the world, in case you get bored with walking around...

The city itself's only a couple hundred thousand people. You can see a couple mountains from downtown, depending on where you are and how hazy/misty the weather is. There's great scenery just minutes away in every direction. The west stretch of Highway 26 is also called Sunset Highway, for good reason - it runs out to the coast, which has some excellent beaches (look up Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock on Google images for pretty pictures). The weather is generally milder than Dallas; I didn't have air conditioning in my apartment, and only felt I needed it about 3 weeks out of the year, and I kept a kitchen window partly open almost all winter long. As for rain, when I moved up there the average rainfall was 31 inches, and Dallas' was 33 - it's just that Dallas has a few gully-washers yearly, whereas Portland enjoys mist or drizzle a couple times a week much of the year.

I do have to warn you though, it does (or did) have the highest suicide rate in the U.S, probably due in part to the fact that the sky is often overcast, there's less peak light (unless you mean on mountain peaks) at that lattitude, and so forth. However, I actually prefer those conditions to the ones down here, so I was happy during the winter months.

If that's not bookish enough, try Reed. "Reedy" is a fitting name for most of the students.

public gardens If you're at all interested in nice gardens to walk through, the International Rose Test Garden is a great place to walk around.
If you have more time, the Japanese Garden is pretty must the only garden outside Japan considered to be "real" (the Mt. Fuji-stand-in doesn't hurt, either)

At some point, if you drink alcohol, or even just eat, you might end up visiting one of these. They've converted a lot of old schools, etc. into pubs along with the usual locations.

You probably won't want to go out there if you don't have much time on your trip, but see if you can recognize this hotel from the picture. [It's this one, Slashdotters]

The Columbia River Highway runs east of Portland, and includes some nice scenery of Multnomah Falls and the Gorge area.

Out west is Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock.

In the wee hours of Monday morning tireless GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) soldiers were gathering intelligence reports on AOL. GNAA has been at war for some time with the AOL-Time Warner Corporation and recently tensions have risen to a boiling point.

"It was clear that things were about to get nasty," recalls GNAA member penisbird while he took part in a massive gay orgy, "but we never expected this, ah yeah, you give the best rim-jobs Shaquille O'Neil."

While launching some minor trolling raids into AOL territory, the surprise news hit them. The FBI had decided to join the ranks of AOL's dreaded KKK group.

"It came as a surprise, the FBI has always leaned on the side of Whitey, but this is further than we ever expected them to go," reports GNAA member rkz.

So GNAA, never a group to take things lying down, grabbed their ginormous cocks and battled back.

GNAA members Ghostface and Method Man quickly plunged balls deep into AOL's wide open servers. In the ensueing battle AOL proved to be a paper tiger and the gay niggers that they had kept as prisoners were liberated in the pre-dawn raid.

The FBI has remained on the sidelines during the intense battle that has gone on between GNAA loyalists and AOL catamites. They have yet to even confirm that the alliance exists. GNAA operatives speculate that the move was a bluff by AOL.

"It was a bluff," quoth penisbird.

Last election - I can't imagine Gore would have been a good choice, and Bush sure as hell was not a good one.

There were 10 other party candidates on the ballot as well as 3 independents. Don't give me that crap there was no one to vote for just because the other parties weren't on TV.

Voting is kind of like Wargames, except the only way to lose is not to play. If you don't like the democratic or republican candidate, vote for your favourite third party. It's the best way to get the message across you didn't like either.

We all know that washed up child stars tend to have no sense of morality - it's a fact. In retrospect, why should we be surprised when former Star Trek star Wil Wheaton was caught in the process of digging up Ray Charles' shrivelled nigger body for his own perverse gratification?

Perhaps the pressure of fame and fortune as a child has warped his mind; maybe his wife and young boys are not enough to satisfy his sick, rastapedic impulses. Whatever the "reason" for Wheaton's deranged attempt to elope with a deceased soul singer, his behaviour is absolutely inexcusable.

But this isn't all, dear readers. Police who arrived on the scene of the necrophiliac Wheaton's crude single-spaded exhumation of Charles were disgusted to discover the decomposing corpse of the honourable Ronald Reagan placed in a rusty wheelbarrow. Wheaton later confessed that he simply "dumped" his new acquisition on top.

Evading police officers, Wheaton then trundled the wheelbarrow as quickly as possible to his waiting car before emptying its contents and the spade into the boot. He allotted approximately two hours of time to speed back to his home to enjoy intimate relations with Reagan and Charles before their pong became too overpowering. He allegedly finds this a turn-off.

To compound this spectacular error of judgement, the person who caught Wheaton in the middle of fulfilling his fuck fantasy was his three year old son, Ryan. Ryan entered the living room where Wheaton was enjoying an undisclosed DVD and the two corpses; he had been made suspicious by the smell of shrivelled nigger carcass permeating the family home.

At this point of the sordid tale the GNAA enters the sequence of events. Outraged by the violation of both our eldest and highly respected member and the greatest president the greatest country on this planet has ever known, a storming of the two-storey Wheaton house was organised and carried out in the nick of time. For the washed-up Stand By Me actor had turned on his toddling child and was preparing to silence him with his tumescent honkey phallus.

Nigger Stormtrooper BoneTap fired several bullets into Wheaton's head and chest, sending him sprawling to the semen-stained living room floor where he died instantly. His last words were reportedly a weedy "Fark!". At a press conference several hours later, GNAA spokesperson Popeye Washington was dismissive of the work, simply stating, "Wheaton was a menace who had to be stopped. We did what needed to be done. We're not heroes. We just believe strongly in consensual nigsex.".

The whereabouts of Reagan and Charles are currently unknown.

In the wee hours of Monday morning tireless GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) soldiers were gathering intelligence reports on AOL. GNAA has been at war for some time with the AOL-Time Warner Corporation and recently tensions have risen to a boiling point.

"It was clear that things were about to get nasty," recalls GNAA member penisbird while he took part in a massive gay orgy, "but we never expected this, ah yeah, you give the best rim-jobs Shaquille O'Neil."

While launching some minor trolling raids into AOL territory, the surprise news hit them. The FBI had decided to join the ranks of AOL's dreaded KKK group.

"It came as a surprise, the FBI has always leaned on the side of Whitey, but this is further than we ever expected them to go," reports GNAA member rkz.

So GNAA, never a group to take things lying down, grabbed their ginormous cocks and battled back.

GNAA members Ghostface and Method Man quickly plunged balls deep into AOL's wide open servers. In the ensueing battle AOL proved to be a paper tiger and the gay niggers that they had kept as prisoners were liberated in the pre-dawn raid. All employees were forced to listen to the "You've got mail!" soundbyte until they all committed suicide.

"Wu-Tang Clan ain't nutin' to fuck wit'," proclaimed a triumphant Ghostface.

A hint for the clueless.

Oh, was that a bad movie. And I paid to see it too.

Innerspace.

... whatever you do, don't let director Roland Emmerich get ahold of this article!

And rather than seeing Rutger Hauer in a crummy sci-fi movie where he's electronically linked to some woman, I'd suggest pretty good fantasy where he's linked to a woman by a curse. (You'd think, after a while, all that would be enough to drive him Batty and crush someone's head.)

"Who is the Greatest Man Alive?" - If you ask Gary Niger, he'll tell you it is most definitely Osama Bin Laden.

The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) announced today further victory in their current program to bring about total breakdown of the AOL customer relation system.

AOL Corporate Policy has been changed after GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) special operative Gary Niger's constant abuse of their "secret question" program designed to provide a futile illusion of security for the mongoloids and sodomites that comprise their customer base.

The "custom question" option, allowing users to create their own question, has been removed following the efforts of Niger and other fearsome Gay Niggers from the GNAA's top secret "Black Ops" divison.

With the removal of this option, trolls are now forced to use pre-approved AOL "secret question" options when signing up for fraudlent accounts for the purpose of downloading gay pornography and meeting up with the clandestine "homo thug" underground.

"I don't know why it changed, exactly. Corporate HQ didn't tell us," said Tracy, an AOL representative. "It happened two or three days ago."

Tracy was unavailable for further comment, as she was masturbating furiously under her desk - claiming that "Ten guys were on the phone and (she) had to take them all on."

An AOL executive, speaking under the condition of anonymnity, said the change in policy came after widespread employee unrest, culminating in an incident of mass sodomy taking place in the Ogden, Utah call center.

Gary Niger and other members of the GNAA "Black Ops" division continue to use the "custom question" trolling technique with various punjabis in the Bangalore, India call center - who haven't gotten the memo yet.

Meanwhile, GNAA Command is working on the creation of new methods of trolling to work within the confines of this new standard, still flush with victory.

Nick Berg's head was unavailable for comment at the time of this release.
