administratium Isn't that the stuff that makes smoke detectors work? Yes yes, I think so. I could try googling it to be sure but I'm afraid of becoming stupid. So I'll just believe it.
So what kind of wikipedia and open source hating, third world country raping, textbook publishing monopolist submitted this? Here is a message for you. You are not going to be able to control the minds of the world, by controlling the textbooks, anymore. You had your day at the top of the hill. Soon peer created, and peer reviewed content will be delivered over free p2p wireless mesh networks. Wow, sounds scary like communism hunh? Its actually quite the opposite. Communism as an economy failed to benefit everyone equally, because all thinking was done centrally.
Yea, I don't think the GP was serious if you look at how "stupid" was spelled. Anyway your right about it making us smarter, the fear is of change, not being stupid. Each time civilization has developed a new technology, we each became more specialized and social, losing our ability to be able to live without other people. Now the only difference is as we increase the speed of our thought, and cut it down into smaller pieces, without wasting time on redundant things, and cooperating with each other on a global scale, we become more and more dependent on our computers as well as each other. This is like saying, don't use bows, spears, or other weapons to catch dinner, because it is going to be harmful to your hand to hand grizzly bear combat skills. The only stupid ones will be those who's brains don't develop the skill of integrating with googles algorithms. The more searches you complete in your life, the more your brain should be learning how to search effectively and optimally. I am really glad to hear about this in fact. Because it means we are one more step closer to living in the noosphere.
Actually... I'm sure my being a male is a factor, but there are probably females as well that JUST DON'T CARE. I am a huge privacy guru too. Having to carry I.D. makes me mad. Biometrics scare me (because they aren't reliable.) and I donate to the EFF regularly to help ensure RFID chips don't get implanted in my neck. So fellas do what I plan on doing next time I fly, and give them a little shake n' wiggle action while your in the booth. I seriously doubt the person in the other room is going to enjoy it. Yes its dumb. Yes its a waste. Yes they will see your balls. WHO CARES? Even if you had something you like kept secret, like being transgender or something, its not like your going to walk into the booth and the guy is going to burst out screaming oh my god it has boobs and a penis!!! So people, whats it going to be? Step into the booth for 5 secs or get felt up by Bruno? Now if they were storing the images that would be unacceptable as the SSA and IRS have both been victims of data theft because of negligence.

Step 1: Combine Trinitrotoluene, alkali-metal, and some wax. Step 2: Go buy a happy meal at McDonald's, shape explosive like hamburger patty and swap. Step 3: Go to airport, throw bag in X-Ray, offer guard some fries. Step 4: Board plane, wait until above favorite state, flush explosive into lavatory tank. Mission complete.
There is no way to secure against a determined, prepared attacker. However security is highly effective at thwarting Average-Joe with his six pack and poorly made crack pipe after the government stops his food stamps. Which of course causes him to steal his sisters CC#, buy a ticket, and try to get famous or die.
There was a math-genius guy who made an algorithm that can remove text from a flat image without any airbrushing or other editing of the image. He also had some great zooming stuff too. Also, was able to remove watermarks with incredible accuracy. That was a few years back too. Once again someone did something that someone already did, but they are rich, so you actually hear about it.
Then you got the crazies like me who say "illicit sharing" is an oxymoron. If capitalism is ever replaced by a superior system, (I don't believe any exists yet) then piracy will go back to being about stealing boats and wearing eye patches.
His post's got Prince in it. That counts as goatse x 2 in my book.
Best AC post I've ever read. Goatse makes me laugh but Prince just makes my eyes burn, and posts stuff on YouTube so he can DMCA takedown his own post, getting some suck0rz to become curious and buy his crap. Prince makes Michael Jackson look like a nice normal dude.
Alltel is my wireless provider. Verizon is my DSL provider (albeit a different department than their wireless, i still make inferences) Alltel has the best customer service I've ever seen, depending on which state, and thus what call center your routed to. Verizon has been the worst. There was one instance I was late on the bill and they cut my service off. my fault but the process could use some warning first. The buyout is comical since alltel had acquired somehow a part in home dsl and similar services, and not too long ago they dumped it into a separate company. Anyway, this purchase can only result in something like greywater. this better not stop Chad from making all the networks look dumb in commercials.
I agree. The parent should seriously take a minute to check out wikipedia's article on -ism and find out what the word terror means when ism is suffixed.
That being said, your spice/caffeine sig is AWESOME.
Think again. Looks like they got adverts for t.v. shows there. It could be comcast promoting themselves or they could be getting paid by the content providers per page hit. Considering the traffic this site must get, we could be talking about some serious money. Also, there seems to be some kind of webmail or bill pay system that customers can log into. Even though those were only temporarily unavailable, they spent some cash on developing those.
That being said. Screw cumcast! go kids go!
Back during blaster a variant crashed remote procedure call while i was still in windows setup. the computer was connected to a docsis cable modem. couldn't even make it to the desktop without a worm. simple solution but aggravating.
but circa isnt greek! its latin. and female. haha. i never knew about circi until now. oh, and anyways ain't a word. unless you accept that living languages are always adapting and evolving and in a living language anything can be proper grammar. including but not limited to: linux, linuxs, linuxes, linuxen, linuxi, and linuxassses.
I can totally agree. Can I compile my own kernel? Of course. Write my own init scripts? sure. yet i own a mac and run os x. why? probably the same reason i have a fleshlight instead of a girlfriend. although i do kick myself from time to time when my dad wants to do something with the dvr i got for him that would be possible with a myth box, but this way there isn't any fixing to do ever. for many there is no choice, but for us tech people, it is a trade off, with each situation having various pros and cons.
Yea but what happens when it spreads to India and Taiwan? If it hits Taiwan its practically already in the U.S.
Perhaps your baby just died from a lead contaminated chinese toy. I don't know. But talk like that found in the other posts in this thread are noting but counterproductive.

Yes, that is why we tell hot spots to go f themselves once handset battery technology has improved to a point where running SiP over a fully switched mobile mesh network is possible. Gotta have some kind of incentive though for running exit nodes. Like for every guy sharing his FiOS for calls that MUST go to the PSTN, his mobile device is allowed to have a higher bandwidth exchange on the mesh. Obviously a difficult idea to implement until there are enough companion handsets out there to mesh with. Did i say difficult? Probably closer to impossible. The Telcos arent going anywhere soon.
Wow. Reading the headline, I was all excited about the powers of good gaining ground against evil and what not. Except after reading a few quotes from tfa which encapsulated a few quotes from tfb (the following bill) I quickly realized this could be a giant trap, technically legalizing the censorship it claims to thwart, while giving complete monopolistic control to the U.S. administrative branch.
Yea, he does think it matters, I think it matters, and maybe you should ask someone closer to the kids than you are whether it matters before you start begging the question. Broad generalizations are rarely a good thing. It is important to handle issues on an instance to instance basis. It is only common sense that the best choice for one decision may not apply to another. Putting technology in their hands thats riddled with restrictions, tie-ins, drm, and remote controlled self destructs may or may not negate the financial or other benefits provided by choosing certain vendors.
Twitter recently got lots of attention as a not-so-useless thing when Egyptian police forgot to take away an American student's cell and it was used to inform his colleagues that he had been arrested for political reasons. Several people attending the same demonstration without twitter access have disappeared from the earth. I don't personally draw any conclusions from that but I figured making the story available wouldn't be a bad thing.

Prog in your sig looks really cool. I wonder if I could get it to run on my Moto Q with the help of Mobem CE Star and Mysaifu JVM.

I thought everyone using Ruby on Rails was going back to Ruby. Perhaps RoR interest is still going strong.

Unless they share the same technology as the U.S. troops in Afghanistan... It somehow turns cell antennas into tiny RFID chips.
