Will hitting the brain with electrons be enough to give us an understanding of these "weights", or just the connections between them?
Nope - it will be just the wire connections, just as if computer hardware without any software will have it's electrical circuits traced in order to understand better what a program running on the screen does - about in that magnitude, probaly much higher.
The "software" on a human brain is programmed from before birth and constantly changed. Just the computing power of keeping all the muscles (multi-mode, contracting, brake-extending, stiff-blocking, spring-storing) coordinated and oriented in space to keep a human upright is enourmous. The human (or any animated animal) body is an n-power parallel processor system with multi-media (pdf doc) parallel input/output processing.

Yes, absolutely - 11.11 at 11:11 is the official beginning of Carnival in Munich.

Those early childhood memories are there, often deep in subconcious unless an individual does some kind of self-exploration. I am sure this kind of imprinting is noticed by the right people.
is a crime in Europe and recently, there was quite an upheaval (and still is) with Siemens, where leading officials had to go, probably got penalized and investigations are still going on (not following all the details there).
The obviousness of this "B" deal and the country (Nigeria government apparently open to bribe) is pretty clear and it will be interesting how this plays out in the US. Maybe the same as democracy - he who bribes the most (shoots the most money in election campaigns) wins and rules the country.
This one could strike back..
What if the procecutor asks for _all_ GPS records... I was playing with a GPS toy and - gosh, did I go _that_ fast? Sure did not want a cop to see those data. But - luckily, there can be a wide margin of error in a GPS. When it calibrates first, it can be hundreds of feet, even miles off and suddenly, there are speeds of 180 or 300 mph, when it zooms in to higher accuracy. Same can happen, when it looses connection to satellites.
I also have seen whole section of movements, in itself congruent, but offset into another county.
I would argue in that direction - not always reliable and make sure the data are not around long....

So, you feel strong about something, plan to make signs and go out and demonstrate, you can be classified as a terrorist, disappear one night and find yourself left alone in Guantanamo Bay everyone else wondering what happened to you.
Actually, thinking about it - violence nowadays can be anything. Bombing some nation into oblivion on the other side of the planet is self-defense and somebody there thinking about defending themselves is violence and terrorism.

Subject: ***House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill
The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the
Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of
2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the
Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown
terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission
and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought
criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill
specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and
uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Amazingly, 404 of
our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican
parties voted in favor of this bill. There is little doubt that this
bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is
demanding the restoration of the Constitution.
First let's take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization
and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill.
The definition of violent radicalization uses vague language to
define this term of promoting any belief system that the government
considers to be an extremist agenda. Since the bill doesn't
specifically define what an extremist belief system is, it is
entirely up to the interpretation of the government. Considering how
much the government has done to destroy the Constitution they could
even define Ron Paul supporters as promoting an extremist belief
system. Literally, the government according to this definition can
define whatever they want as an extremist belief system. Essentially
they have defined violent radicalization as thought crime. The
definition as defined in the bill is shown below.
`(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization' means
the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for
the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance
political, religious, or social change.
The definition of homegrown terrorism uses equally vague language to
further define thought crime. The bill includes the planned use of
force or violence as homegrown terrorism which could be interpreted
as thinking about using force or violence. Not only that but the
definition is so vaguely defined, that petty crimes could even fall
into the category of homegrown terrorism. The definition as defined
in the bill is shown below.
`(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the
use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group
or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within
the United States or any possession of the United States to
int
International calls from inside US are monitored
International calls to inside US are monitored
And with this, anyone thinking (even in dreams) something not "appropriate" can be treated as a terrorist and monitored as well.

Laws are actually not needed any more - it happens anyway and the president pardons everyone at the end or anything "sensitive" is declared as damaging to national security when dragged courts.
Um. Do you think that's what she was figuring when she was breaking the law
See, what you do here is put "the law" above everything and maybe you look for consolation in doing so.
Laws are made by humans and measures taken that laws are followed are also done by humans.
It is just a reflection of the current ruling part of a human society. No guarantee that they are any good. Look at the political process selecting "law makers" in the US and the driving force behind ($$'s invested by... to expect a return of some kind). You think that makes laws any more just, decent or sensible? If so, dream on...
It clearly shows what is going on in minds of regular (and "better") people in the US.
One aspect is that, if somebody is not doing well, or has done something wrong, it's ok to kick even more so s/he "learns" and gets better (the stern father penalizes).
Effects are overpopulated prisons, total weak or missing social umbrella and an increasing number of people under poorness level.
The other fact shown here is that people are totally out of touch with financial reality. Financially ruining a life of (is she a single mother?) a person with the idea to doing something "right" shows an overwhelming degree of insensitivity.

All the other legal hollabaloo is just a bunch of mindfuck at this point.
It may just be an hot air baloon - stick a needle in and: poof, all disappears into nothingness because all the assumptions turn out wrong.

Whenever rules are broken, something of the two is off.

I think the individual initiating this action should be found, put on a podestal on NY Times Square and publicly shamed for 12 hours!
