    Glad to be of service.

    Partly alive may be an overstatement. Let's not forget we have brain cells in more organs than just the brain. I don't think consciousness was a concern at all here, that's more philosophical. I have no idea what I'm talking about but this looks like it could be useful with space injuries, or saving drowning victims and things of that sort from the abstract. Plus if we wanted to make zombie animals sheep sound like a better choice to start with.

  3. Why not shadow a full moon in such a way that you draw the Coca Cola logo on it. You're walking with your lover's hand in yours on a beautiful moonlit night along the beach. You stop, hold her hands, gaze at the moon and there she is, "Coca Cola written on the face of it." You crack open a bottle of Coke and forget all about each other. Go home, get some Cheetos.

  4. Congratulations dude!

  5. I'm glad we are at least step ahead of strongarming these people to work for free like the FBI did with Sabu but if we educated people on how the Internet really works; about project Quantum, about fake cell towers, they wouldn't be so stupid in the first place to be labeled "trouble makers". In a way these people are abusing teenager stupidity to get cheap labor.

    Imagine opportunity has like a family there. Turns out there is a race of intelligent underwater aliens on Europa, and they end up sending their own rover to Mars as well. The rovers fall in love. Some of the kids look like those pullback cars from the 90s.

  9. Re: Not so good on Chelsea Manning Jailed For Refusing To Testify On WikiLeaks (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    This is an interesting one. Some public good did come out of the material she published. Namely in ending that horrifying drone program also known as terrorist making factory. It was because of automated drone strikes killing civilians that we caught a terrorist here in the U.S. who told the authorities their entire family were killed by a flying robot for no reason. They trained their entire life to find the person responsible for their deaths which is actually understandable on a personal level. Who wouldn't do the same thing? Tragic yes, but she served her sentence did she not? She's okay by my book. Thank you stranger. Odd that she isn't testifying though, I wonder why?

    Does anybody see a global pattern here? The Patriot Act (now Freedom Act) bloomed like it's spring from country to country in the last couple decades. Thanks Osama.

  11. Re: Wrong interpretation. on People Are Concerned About Their Privacy In Theory, Not Practice, Says New Study (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Well I can understand how speaking out for privacy can cause you to lose your privacy. Not unlike the "Do Not Track Me" feature, you are calling attention to yourself not to call attention to yourself, even if that is a donation. You may find that your inbox is full of spam due to a petition you signed or a donation you made. Most people just look at the issue and go, I think staying away from the issue entirely is a better solution personally. Almost like going, "Hey! It's me! Don't track me!"

  12. Is it possible that people seeking privacy value their privacy?

  13. Yea, this creepy behaviour has been around for 10 years now. Anybody remember DNA checkpoint traffic stops in Texas?

  19. Chilling Effect for Your Safety on 1,100 Schools Now Scan Social Media For Violent Students - and Alcohol Use (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    So 35,000 and 55,000 students were psychologically damaged to feel exposed and never trust anything online again. 16 of those were plausible. How many actual? Totally worth the damage to society as a whole to live as terror stricken people living with the thought that everything that they write and say is judged by authority figures instantly.

  20. Say, what was that crypto-currency standard all these technologies are based on? Was it ANSI, or an RFC I can't quite remember. Was there a size limit to hashes? Some type of incremental evolution keeping up with technology perhaps? Was there a way not to be effected by ALL VULNERABILITIES EVER while having your wallet in anything but a TI-82? You know, the consortium who decided why this was a feasible way to represent currently. Room full of wise and smart people with investors. Wait none of that exists? Good job JPMorgan.

  21. Way I See It Today on Instagram Vows To Remove All Graphic Self-Harm Images From Site (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The Internet is not going to become a safe place for vulnerable people. Not while it's people who are trying to accomplish that. All persons are vulnerable, whether they realize it or not is only the difference between the level of ego a person has. If you make it illegal to tell someone to "go kill themselves", it's going to infringe on 1st amendment rights. If you tell people it's okay to tell someone to "go kill themselves", they will, and vulnerable suicidal teens will go and do that and their parents will be mad at Instagram. The root cause is identifying why someone would have the need to bully someone to try to get them to suicide and follow that to its cause. That of course will also infringe on that person's rights. Soooooooo, either accept it for what it is, or don't use it. I think as a society we are a little too obsessed with the Internet right now, hyper-communication is an issue for sure. I grew up through those years with little to no Internet, and anybody who told me to go kill myself was usually within grabbing distance, and not able to whisper it to my ear from the other side of the planet. Maybe that's better. It's just progress but progress is not always for the better.

  22. I suggest cyclopentolate. One drop on each eye and the mosquito will not be able to see where it's going for several hours.

    Yea the whole idea was dumb anyways. It's like "Hello, my name is Bob, and don't track me." Companies are like, "Bob? Okay, I'll write it down here, 'Don't track Bob' got it. Have a nice day Bob."
