  1. Onward in Lock Step! on Thomas Drake: You're Automatically Suspicious Until Proven Otherwise · · Score: 2

    Suspicion of ordinary citizens as official policy is an alignment technique.

    I'm sure I'll soon be trampled on by fine folks with the best of intentions (or maybe by paid shills), but it seems to me we are in an era where political and economic alignment is strong (politically via polarization, economically via [virtually] government sanctioned massive control fraud), and adaptive capacity is weak (thanks to the wrecked economy, strangulating regulation and serious problems at the patent office), thus we're simply following the "Lock Step" scenario as predicted and outlined in the now two year old Rockefeller Foundation publication Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development. (See page 16.)

    Whether NWO, Globalist, CFR, Bilderberger or otherwise simply Rockefeller aligned agents (like them nice gents partying over at the Grove) helped shepherd this into being is left for you to decide.

    By the way, the "Clever Together" and "Smart Scramble" scenarios representing proper ways out of this mess are the least likely to occur. The idealistically utopian "Clever Together" ignores the fact that governments are heavily invested in the status quo. "Smart Scramble" is a bit more likely, though government (pushed by behind the scenes corporate and personal power) will continue to disempower the "little guy" through legislation (and automatic suspicion).

  2. Re:I find it much easier on Building a Case For Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    2) ...staying available... I found telecommuting akin to being under house arrest. You are home but cannot step outside for a moment, lest someone IM you and find you're not at the computer. Telecommuters need to make their presence felt at the company even more than if you are physically present.

  3. Re:Actually, on Building a Case For Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    Actually, fyi, yak don't moo. Ever. They grunt.

  4. Screw the SEC! on SEC Takes Action Against Latvian Hacker · · Score: 1

    Oh, wow am I not impressed. They investigate, and nab, a hacker who caused a loss under a million bucks, while remaining virtually asleep at the wheel as SEC associates, flash traders, big time insiders and other "better positioned" criminal psychopaths virtually decimate our economy.

  5. In other news... on Thai Gov't Welcomes Twitter's Censorship Plans · · Score: 1

    Horses Eat Hay!

    Were the headline: "Thailand Rejects Twitter's Censorship Plans", that would be news.

  6. Re:I am not worried about it on Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ · · Score: 1

    All this petty arguing, why can't we just get along? We need more love on this planet. And if it means the Earth has to become as hot as Venus to do it, well maybe that's a good thing!

  7. Problem solved! on Non-Copied Photo Is Ruled Copyright Infringement · · Score: 2

    Uhm, I've got international copyright protection on "convoluted logic processing resulting in obviously stupid legal judgements" - so stand down, infringing Judge!

  8. completely assinine and without merit on Non-Copied Photo Is Ruled Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    If this ruling stands, then there are millions of photographic infringements snapped daily. Many subjects, the Statue of Liberty comes to mind, offer limited viewing angles from which to take a picture. Google (images) the statue and just see how many people have infringed on my copyright of a nearly 3/4 view from a low angle against a blue sky! Oh, and my straight on shot from the Circle Line in the water, and .... you bastards! I used a polarized lens on other shots, so that's copyrighted too.

    Heads up all: I've recently patented relieving oneself through an anal sphincter. Be warned!

  9. My response on Coming Soon: Ubiquitous Long-Term Surveillance From Big Brother · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was gonna comment, but then....

  10. Re:I have the answer folks, send me my prize. on Climate Panel Says To Prepare For Weird Weather · · Score: 1

    You put the weed in the Bamboo, then smoke. Duh. Sheesh!

  11. Re:Past the tipping point on Climate Panel Says To Prepare For Weird Weather · · Score: 1

    Uhm, his hope and change platform was driven by surveys and analysis of what the majority would get behind. Of course, once elected O gave them change by changing from his stated course to following the old agenda. Yes, he's smart. Like a fox.

  12. seeing the end of big oil on Are We Seeing the End of Big Oil? · · Score: 1

    We always get mooned by big oil and frankly, I'm tired of seeing their "end".

  13. Re:Falsifying evidence? on NH Man Arrested For Videotaping Police.. Again · · Score: 1

    My specific answer was, "I suppose possibly an officer might feel pressure to lie, say, to back up his partner for instance." Then, before I knew it I was gone!

  14. Re:Falsifying evidence? on NH Man Arrested For Videotaping Police.. Again · · Score: 1

    Rhetorical question I'm sure, but crying (over the sorry state of our justice system) was more appropriate. Actually, I left the room a little shaken and confused. It just didn't feel right. How could anyone with two snapping neurons believe otherwise? Come on, man, humans might lie! How could they ever fill that jury? Btw, I was dressed appropriately, corporate like, clean shaved, with a tie, suit jacket and short hair.

  15. Re:Falsifying evidence? on NH Man Arrested For Videotaping Police.. Again · · Score: 5, Interesting

    During voir dire I was asked, "Do you think a policeman might lie?" I told the obvious truth and was dismissed from jury duty. I guess they figured that selecting the ignorant helps the rigging process.

  16. Re:Nice fearmongering touch! on Earth's Population To Hit 7 Billion This Year · · Score: 1

    Ooops, 'billionth'!

  17. Nice fearmongering touch! on Earth's Population To Hit 7 Billion This Year · · Score: 1

    Nice touch having the 7 millionth arrive on Halloween! Wouldn't be nearly so scary if it was say, in the middle of September. Anyway, I demand a recount!

  18. Re:Constitution in trouble on Police Increasingly Looking To Smartphones For Evidence · · Score: 1

    So I'm guilty until proven innocent? ...

    Yup, and even after proven innocent you're still guilty! Your best bet is to be sooo guilty that you become big enough to be considered innocent (and thus get a free pass, if not actual assistance, from the SEC or whatever regulating group is in charge of your particular area of operation). Welcome to the 21st century. Bwaa-ha-ha!

  19. Re:Repub? on McCain Asks For Committee On Wikileaks, Anonymous · · Score: 1

    The two parties just have different dancing styles, it's the musicians we need to watch!

  20. can on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: 1

    Just feed some bee colonies with straight Roundup and house them in giant cell phones. The survivors will be Super Bees for sure.

  21. Re:Maybe a million monkeys on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 2

    ...which isn't plausible since Monkees only reproduce works written by others...

    Uhm, I beg to differ! Ever hear of "Last Train to Clarksville"?

  22. oh yeah! on Playdough For Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    My son (7) has been playing around all day with parts from a gutted (hacked) Hess truck. Play dough electrical connectors are just perfect for him now! Thanks, OP.

  23. Re:Use OLPC's much? on Afghans Build Open Source Internet From Trash · · Score: 1

    I hope so!

  24. Re:Use OLPC's much? on Afghans Build Open Source Internet From Trash · · Score: 1

    Btw, I don't see any little kids hanging around in that pic! Looks like serious stuff on screen. Heroin harvest accounting? Munitions supplies? Plans for improvised devices? Ahh, probably just a YouTube cat video!
