With the proliferation of adverts on every spot you can imagine (I can't even enjoy the view on a public bus ride no more with the massive eye-searing ads bombed across the windows), there has to be a point at which the average consumer no longer conciously registers an ad. So then what's the point of advertising?
I understand that there is such a tool that is to be used in the installation of heatsinks to motherboards, but for the life of me I've never seen any of the screwdriver shops using one out in the wild.
Me myself, I do it with the metal tips of mechanical pencils...
In case you didn't know, the director of this film (Don Coscarelli) is also the genius behind the Phantasm http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079714/ series of horror flicks....
I mean, caching proxies are easily turned into filtering ones, and mail filters into censorship tools restricting the free exchange of mail. This will be a tricky one to nail!
The ones who oughta feel ashamed of themselves, I feel, are the system administrators working for these regimes. They really should commit little acts of sabotage from their positions of power and help smash the control apparatus.
Of course it's risky business, but it's the freedom of humanity we're talking about here. Speaking as someone who lives in Singapore, I have suffered from the effects of intense censorship and the one-party rule that has persisted for decades.
p.s. Oh yeah, you Internal Security Department creeps can kiss my ass. Come get me!

There is a great musical episode of LEXX titled "Brigadoom." The songs are so...elegaic.
Get the mp3s of the songs here:
