If shutting down access to blogs isn't enough to create resentment, the Air Force is "developing data mining technology meant to root out disaffected insiders based on their e-mail activity--or lack thereof." With "Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing" a graph is constructed of social network interactions from an organization's e-mail traffic "If a worker suddenly stops socializing online, abruptly shifts alliances within the organization, or starts developing an unhealthy interest in "sensitive topics," the system detects it and alerts investigators."
It appears that the military is increasingly involved in areas who's jurisdiction was once considered to be wholly in the civil domain. Use of jargon like "cyberspace" seems only to obfuscate and distract from the core issue. This appears an effort to recruit public opinion and defuse the deeper questions that strike at the heart of a free and civil society. I think that if we had a statement that "The private mails are a warfighting domain" would generate a fair amount of debate on the role of the military as opposed to the police, the function of constitutional protection of liberties, and the question of what actually constitutes a state of war.
What are the limits on this jurisdiction? Who enforces these limits, and how is the public informed of that status? How are efforts to extend being safeguarded from creating mission creep that threatens all civil discourse in the United States and abroad form targeting, suppression, propaganda and extra-legal surbeillance?
Fortunately, Slashdot is a passing match for "British Racing Greeen". That's the colour of my '95 XJ12 - I call 'er my "Durango 95", cos' "she purrs away, nice and horrorshow".
In this aspect, I do agree that you need gas - yes, you did mention it - a lot of it. Still, the mileage is better than most American & German 8 Cylinder cars in its class. Especially since I ditched the Pirelli 9000 tires for Dunlops (quieter now, too.)
I think you may have accidentally struck upon something here!
That is exactly the system we have in place. A well-regulated market, structured to further advantage the entrenched position of already concentrated wealth, at the expense of all other consideration.

As soon as Dick Cheney's pacemaker seizes-up!
There is really nothing in Leopard I want or need. It's Vista for the Cupertino crowd.
I am just now further committed to Fedora and Ubuntu then ever before.
Wait, maybe this explains why Mac Office 2008 SUCKS EVEN MORE than the previous versions performance - even when that ran under Rosetta!
MS/Apple. Two sides - same coin.
They used to extort abusive "public performance" fees from bars and restaurants with a jukebox or radio on.
This is just the latest in their continuing line of business.
Tennessee?
They used to penalize schools that allowed students with teeth!
With these crooks.
Round. 94 was the last "glass brick" front.
I got a 89 XJ6 w/ quad rounds, too. Driving an old (86) series III XJ6 the last two weeks. Except for the turning radius, it's a great car!
The XJ12 is here:

I have an Idea!
Let's hook up to both 'nets, and bridge 'em!
I'm a 7'3" Afro-American.
Touche. Owe you a pint.
You, sir - I take it - have never experienced the PopTart in it's exemplary and multitudinous glory!
to their obvious sense of humility, and only ask for mere "stars".
That, or go trawling through the strip-clubs near Boston.
That should be the name for this. Model I-41.
That, or the obvious "WarCrimes Master 2020".
Or how about just "KillJoy-3000"
Warm Leatherette in the HindenCar!

UGN Indeed!
Microsoft Reduces its Offer for Yahoo! by USD 1.3 Billion - now extending a hostile offer for only 43.3 billion dollars.
Problem? Solved.
That's nice, boy.
Now, calm down - and stop hopping on my little couch.
Next after the break: Vagina Monologues and the Men Who Love Them!
I Love It!
Move along. Before we call in the assistance of our Blackwater contractors to ensure that you do.
I wonder what Dave Barry will write about this one?
Never leaves a gap

Q.E.D.
Now, back to this fascinating "Dianetics" you were talking about....
The Church of Scientology.
Now, stop jumping on my couch!
