If this actually ensures privacy like the author says, we have a serious ass security hole. You could get anything through an airport by telling them you have a gun.
It isn't the reality of this that is frightening so much as the fact that, because it's happening to children, they will grow up thinking that this is how figures of authority are supposed to interact with them. Because public and private have dangerously non-intuitive meanings now that communication is such a trivial, even accidental thing, we live in a world where some people, just in the course of going with the flow of what seems to be sociable, have no "private" lives and have forever destroyed their employability. Schools seek to solidify that as the natural state of affairs in the mind of the public. Children coming out of public school will believe that the only way to avoid the wrath of the government and their boss is to conform, because disconnecting will never seem like a reasonable option.
Don't let yourself or your children be consumed by your paper trail. Remember the temperature the stuff burns at.
This isn't even the plural of anecdote. It's definitely not data. I can't think of any reason we're reading this other than atheists with doctorates who enjoy trolling the normals.

I think that was his point and he's just not incredibly competent at communicating it.
I remember buying a fifty cent lollipop that was made in Mexico that had a metal stick in the middle that let you hear music when you bit it. This happened about a month or so after first reading about this technology in a magazine I had ten years ago. Why are they just now coming to market with this for serious applications?
Psyops is something the US military does to its citizens. We are now officially a side in the shittiest, most boring, and most one-sided war ever fought.:|
So true, man. This is the whole reason I'm always so pessimistic whenever I talk about this junk. The people who have guns are content to sit on them until there are actually jackbooted thugs at their door, at which point it will be too late to link up with anyone else ready to provide resistance. Fascism is upon us because we have become lazy and stupid.
Of course, it won't be any better for you. Where are you going to emigrate to that isn't like this after ACTA?
It is well known that the US is at the spearhead of about half this garbage. This the same thing that member states of the EU are doing: introduce a policy you want in the EU, then complain about how terrible it is locally so that the public doesn't realize it was your idea.
World fascism is about three years away, and there's nothing we can do but watch. Have fun.
Riots. Really. Riots. You think riots will break out over this.
Guy, slashdot is the only place in the whole world that cares about ACTA, that's why it's just about done and signed already. Your "riots" will be three guys on a street corner which is farther than they've ever walked before, in every city of over 200,000, waving a sign, a replica sword, and a really big C++ book around and wheezing. Local newscasters will make fun of them, and their footage will be cut off for a beer commercial.
Class warfare is over. We lost. The American Dream got sold to Europe. Get over it.
There also wouldn't have been a political statement, unless there is some kind of rhetoric going around that Michelle Obama thinks of us as the blobs that feed her or is incapable of feeling pain.:|

I would've remembered that, since it probably would've just said "put it in yo mowf, bitches" instead of playing music.

Isn't this pretty much what people with real computers have always thought Apple products were like?

OH GOD
Stop it! Stop it, please! Why are you doing this to my beautiful language? Please, make the bad man stop!

My understanding is that devs should use OpenGL because they want to do a whole bunch more work writing code for each individual graphics card.

If you aren't getting pissed on enough to take care of it whenever you pass out, then what are friends for?
To avoid a hangover with the real stuff, just stay hydrated. Not difficult.
Riots?

In six years, this will be the whole internet, everywhere. They'll probably just stick it into ACTA.
Aw man, and I just realized that this could give rise to the practice of "warsitting." Why couldn't I think of that earlier?
I can't think of anything else to type, but the title is really good enough.
A story is posted about somebody being awarded a patent. It is tagged "corruption."
A story is posted about somebody not being awarded a patent. It is tagged "communism."
MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
How did it not occur to this dipshit that if the "code" were just Italian anagrams, Italians would've figured it out a long time ago?
Am I the only one trying to imagine what it would be like if the Fancy Lads started beef with the Crips?
