Yeah, I really HATE flying these days, my lady friend badgered and bullied me into taking a trip with her to Hawaii (I REALLY HATE HAWAII) I was taken by wheelchair to the security area where I was frisked, wiped with swabs (they even wiped the airports own wheelchair) before being pushed the rest of the way to the gate. On my return flight it was the same, they even opened my suitcase and left a card inside saying they had done so!
OK, a 68 year old white American disabled Vietnam Vet, with a 50 year old Hawaiian wife, traveling on a domestic flight has to go through all this BULLSHIT, while everybody knows that TERRORISTS aren't elderly white cripples!
Kinda makes you think that they really don't want people to travel by air, don't it?
you bad man, I dawnna det my dun and shoot you, and den my daddy dawnna beat up yaw daddy taws my bigga den yaw daddy! Don't you too me, uh-oh, I went sissy aw ovah my lawyers office.
Yeah, but since we are still deep into SciFi territory, I want little nanobots that can gradually take over the functions of my living brain (over time so I won't even notice) so that when i kick the bucket I can just be put into a brand new steel and titanium body!
My Asus Eee costs less than $350.00 does everything and fits in my Maxpedition Lunada Gearsliger without problems & runs either XP or Linux, how can Apple compete with that?
Hey buddy, how many kids do you think will recognize a song by the WHO? Oh they were in love with their Mocha Messiah! He has turned into an even more repressive dictator than his predecessor.
I carry a small AA powered AM radio, in case of emergency when all your digital packet, cell stuff is down, analog modulated stuff can and usually does survive.
If you catch somebody at work doing it, report it to their manager immediately! I've had people fired for this, at IBM we are trained to swivel 180 degrees when a client is entering a password. This is non-trivial, DO NOT ALLOW THIS!
Like the Utah woman who took pictures of her 10 month old twins taking a bath and mistakenly had the pictures developed at WalMart? That was in 2000, she is still in prison!
When you let totalitarianism get a foothold it is always under the assumption that it is "for the common good" and it always spreads and grows like a cancer.
You can tell a villain by: God bless (fill in the). Think of the children. Get tough on crime/drugs/drunk driving/illegal immigration, etc. Running for office/passing the bar. Making a speech.
Remember the demographic of the people here, most don't remember anything earlier than "desert storm", "Glasnost" and "Perestroika" are before their time and beneath their radar!
Back in 1965 I caught a man trying to undo my dog's chain from a parking meter, i quietly walked up behind him and used my razor sharp Parker pocketknife across his back, I wonder if he still remembers how he got that scar? He took off like a scalded cat! (I still was close to my redneck roots at the time;-)...
I have, a simple firewall built into my DSL router, I have the crappy firewall built into Windows, I have Peer Guardian (customized), And I have an extra Linux based firewall built into a VM (I'm playing with it/not ready yet).
If somebody tells you you're paranoid, ask them if they've ever had their PC take a shit!
Wait, wait... What idiot carries potentially life-ending data? You remember "special administrative measures"? hide it in pornographic DVD ISO's using encrypted stenography and split it up among many rars/pars on different newsgroups.
When I was 11 I got a Heathkit Crystal set kit for my birthday, it came with a variable capacitor a diode a small Bakelite knob a phenolic tube a spool of enameled magnet wire a square of plywood, solder, screws, a little piece of sandpaper a pair of fanstock clips with a monophone headset. I had to buy a soldering iron. Let me tell you I was thrilled, and I even entered it into the science fair.

It's what the Chinese do, they create nothing (except toxic toys and cheap labor) and take credit for everything!
Don't even joke about that, here in the USofA we love to do unbelievably draconian things for the most ridiculous transgressions!
Those Aussie kids would be branded as terrorists and locked up for life +100, that is if the weren't just shipped off to Pakistan to be tortured.
Prevent news of atrocities committed against civilian populations from being reported!
I bet the Iranian government wished they'd had that capability.

Downcast gaze OR a plastic Groucho Marx nose & glasses.
Rent a Colo in an eastern European country and set up SSH port forwarding on it (to hide your online activity) and to operate your own mail server.

A starship to Mars is just NASA-speak for "please give us more money.
