I (thankfully) haven't had to travel since the "new" security protocols were put in place, but I have my response all planned out. I'll simply ask for a female officer to frisk my package, and I want it done out in the open in front of all the passengers in the security area, not behind some screen. If I'm asked for justification, I'll just say "for religious reasons I'm not allowed to have other men touching my genitals. I'm perfectly willing to let a female officer do that, or a male can search me provided he doesn't get anywhere near my junk."
I am amazed at how many fronts have been opened against wikileaks in the past few weeks. Clearly, there are people who want it crushed, but I can't recall ever seeing the number and variety of attacks against another "thorn in the side" as we're seeing against wikileaks.
The takeaway lesson: those who try to learn the truth and spread the truth will be destroyed.
1) Build the Science theme park next to Creationworld.
2) Start an ugly PR war
3) ?????
4) Creationworld is reduced to a glowing, gently smoking crater
5) Profit!!!!
Just give it 10 years - airline passengers will be stripped naked and individually sealed inside blast-proof containers for the duration of the flight.
I wasn't aware there's a criminal charge called "forgetting your briefcase in a public place." What are the minimum/maximum sentences, and how many people have been put away for this?
Palin's popularity is just an extension of the trend started by Bush - the celebration of naiveté and simplemindedness. Somehow, critical thought and intelligence have become "elitist" traits, while simpletons like Palin are good, honest folk who can be trusted. Until America gets past this unfortunate and destructive paradigm, things will only get worse.
You know, it's easy to get inflamed about this idea since it's all about advertising, tracking, privacy, and corporate profits... but if a similar article appeared about a system designed to counteract spam and fraud, I wonder what the reaction would be here on slashdot?
Here's the question: if corruption and tyranny of the ruling class is exposed for all to see, how many people will put down the xbox controller or stop shopping for some idiotic black friday deal long enough to do something about it?

Twitter aside, I think my basic point remains

I also forgot "lovingly smeared with peanut butter and jelly" but I didn't think /. was quite ready to hear that part yet.
I can't remember the last time I prayed a roller coaster with pyrotechnics into existence.
You may not remember it, but it was last Saturday at 2:31AM while you were totally fucking tripping on acid.

Never mind corn syrup, what if somebody starts sending spam?

Wow - now that's what I call asymmetrical economic warfare.
Old briefcase from thrift shop = $5
Bringing entire neighbourhoods of Chicago traffic to a standstill during rush hour = millions in lost productivity
The terrorists have won.
a data center needs connection to the outside world
Never underestimate the bandwidth of an aircraft carrier complement of jet fighters hurtling across the countryside dropping DVD-R discs ...

Pics or it didn't happen.
there just isn't much in the way of eye candy in the Federal spotlight.
Well, with the obvious exception of Joe Biden.

There's a Soviet Russia meme hiding in your post somewhere ... I can feel it.

Don't you mean Iofrican?
... to the extent that anything can be "removed" from the internet once it's out in the wild.
Nope, trying to do a face change will only get him sued.

I for one seriously hope the announcement somehow involves William Shatner.
This does meet all the criteria.
It's trivial to block this --
I'll give you $100 if you can somehow explain this process to my barely-computer-literate-but-facebook-loving relatives.
