    Yes, if only there was some magical way to make browsers automatically distrust addresses with mixed Cyrillic and Latin characters in them...

    How about no. Lets keep the internet away from regulation.

    Lets engineer around politics. Make it fundamentally difficult for some one to stop a website from operating.

    Why not? TLDs are a curse. There's nothing stopping us from treating tlds like 2nd level domains. just have an invisible ".web", just make it so browsers don't tell the normal folk about it and they'd soon forget there even were such things as tlds.

    While we're at it, make registration of domains free. There's NO technical reason for the price they go for, especially not for the ccTLDs some are really horrifically overpriced.

    Once you have the infrastructure for this there's nothing stopping you from fine tuning the stuff to look for your wrist movements.
    You can even assign different actions depending on what you moved your wrist for a fine control of something or your entire arm, etc.

  5. Re:Well, that'll be helpful on HBGary Federal Hacked By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    Fucking around on a telecommunications network is not an exercise of real power. All it does is demonstrate how truly impotent Anonymous really is, while simultaneously giving those who do have real power excuses to further restrict use.

    Would you rather have random /k/ nuts take up arms and go on shooting sprees? Because there's surely enough people with nothing to loose to go around.

    They haven't been given a good enough reason yet to do anything.

    Ok well not actually free, you'll still pay tax for it, BUT, the tax would be spread over more people and thus cheaper. Also paying less for things that are usually overpriced.

    Why don't you make that government mandated too? Split price over the entire population, remove private ISPs. Free internet.

    The only problem is people aren't pissed off enough to do the sensible thing. Why riot and protest, just equip enough snipers and snipe top ranking officials.

    There's already enough dumb pipe satellites in orbit, the kind that are unlikely to be removed. You can just leech off of those. You'll just need enough nodes that are connected to a wireless mesh that have sat uplink to those.

    Oxymoron? I think not. The brain is a fascinating computer with immense capability for calculation and it is also very flexible.
    Until we advance the state of computer aided universe simulation to the point where we don't need to run thought experiments and can just run a model universe for a couple of days to see if our theories are correct, we'll be stuck experimenting in our brains.

    Simple, increase pay for teachers and slash taxes for them. Hell, that should be the norm, otherwise the government is taxing it's own money that it is givving to the teachers. Ouroboros anyone?

    What the hell 'Murika. I'm from an ex soviet country and even here, in order to teach something you must have a degree in it from a higher education institution.

    This aplies to everything, especially things like Biology, History etc...

    The only place where you can get away with not having a diploma is perhaps PE.

    Why are you buying a complete off the shelf computer anyway? Those things are overpriced for the hardware they have even excluding windows. It just makes no sense.
    If you don't know how to assemble it there's places that will do that for you, and it's going to be cheaper then actually buying the whole thing with windows and all.

    Maybe some sort of a program or a kernel hook that you point at a dialog box/program and it monitors for the next registry changes, it then shows you what the program changed and gives you the option of removing the registry entry/ reverting it to something or inputing a custom string so you don't have to bother looking it up in regedit. Hell it could even change the dialog boxes to include a fuck it button.

    Native dialog boxes are in User32.dll right? Maybe some one could rewrite bits of it to have the hook for the Fuck it button.

    This is one area where DRM COULD work. But it has to be set up on the OS level, a way to grant aplications exclusive rights to store and modify files in folders.
