I hope the US has to make concessions to China on IP. I wish China would lead a push for a less restrictive IP regime, particularly for patents and copyrights. They're really the only country with the clout to oppose what the US has been doing.
This is how the library at which I work does it, except it doesn't delete EVERYTHING, just all browser settings and temporary files...you have to restart the computer to start completely fresh.
Drive some ancient heap with little to no electronics, and make yourself a microwave-oven ray gun. Periodically sweep the car to fry any hidden electronics.
How much do the new ones weigh, and would the scales used to weigh trucks (many of which are available for weighing cars) detect the difference? That one in the first story about this, allegedly an old model, looked heavy enough that they'd catch it, but if they've got something that weighs just a couple of ounces, maybe not.
Of course, to do this, you would have to be absolutely meticulous about cleaning and emptying the car before each weigh-in, and you'd always need the same equipment in and on the car as you had on your baseline.
SRE was so much better than BRE. Every BRE game played out the same way: If you got in on the first day, and you played all your turns every day, you had a chance of winning. If you did not, you might as well not play, you would be completely dominated. SRE was far less clear-cut.
Also, did you never play Exitilus? Like LORD, but MORE.
And there was this BBS for the Mac which was almost exactly like WWIV...it had, or could run, a door game which was like Tradewars, but IMO, better.
I think my favorite door game, though, was The Pit. Gladiatorial combat, in ANSI graphics.
4chan and Somethingawful have been having Wikipedia vandalizing competitions for years. (Usually, whoever's edit or fake article stays the longest wins.)
Standardize URLs and/or message boards/blogs such that any URL can be posted without being broken. Also, require URLs to be short enough to be passed from person to person by voice.
Until then, link shorteners aren't going anywhere.
I get people coming to the reference desk asking for information about various treatments for ailments. Sometimes actual science-based medicine, sometimes plausible alternative medicine, and sometimes outright quackery, and sometimes all three at once.
I usually turn the monitor around so that they can see what I am doing. (Sometimes I think this may be a mistake, because they don't understand what I am doing.) If I'm doing a series of Google searches, trying to narrow things down to what we're looking for, they'll stop me and point to the ads. Usually (almost invariably) selling some transparently bogus alternative treatment. (Remember, they're coming to me asking me to help them find out what's what, not necessarily looking for someplace to buy their radiation crystal magnets.) They'll say "OH, OH, THAT'S IT!" when they see a keyword or two in the ad that relates to what they're looking for.
There are a LOT of people who receive information completely uncritically. They can't tell an ad trying to sell them something from an informational article. They can't tell the difference between an emotional appeal or an argument based essentially on sympathetic magic from actual science. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO CLICK THOSE ADS. They'll reject things if they've been inoculated against it, but only because they've been told that they should, and had that admonition connected to some deeply held belief. They won't do so because they have legitimately considered whether it could be true or false.
That is why advertisers, particularly on Google with its text ads, have the potential to do a lot of harm.

So who animated the edgy Simpsons intro?
But it is a good indicator of how much wealth there is available to be extracted from a country by people who are above worrying about cost of living.
Actually, you're still providing a service if you find none!
If they don't make it a farce, it could become a tragedy.
They're 350-powered and pretty quick, they couldn't be too big.

More like facilitating BOARDINGS. The Chinese have the right idea, no fat stupid Americans are gonna be taking THEIR space stations!

It may also be impossible without taking the car apart, depending on where they put it. It does not sound like they just stick it out in the open.

What? I knew it had a gasoline engine and an electric motor, but no one told me it was a HYBRID! What the hell is this shit!?
For a more mundane example of this, try shopping for RAM of any type used 10 or more years ago.
it went extinct.
Is this stolen VOIP service being resold via phone cards, or what?
The giant bag will probably have more drag than the ship. Also, the pipeline idea was seriously discussed in the late 80s or early 90s.
This is just going to be for more external propaganda. The very act of using this domain IS propaganda.
Even if it does indicate more internal dissemination of information, more information isn't always good, if it's more of the same disinformation.

How much of that is Lucas?
I thought that the Special Edition version of that scene with the band in Jabba's castle was missing something!
Also, more Ewoks please. And make them speak English this time!

Not really, alain just needs to get over it.
