Sometimes I wish that some people would help us all out by killing themselves. If you feel that you can't be live up to any of your responsibilities and just want to cry how the world has done you wrong, jump off of a tall building...it should be great! You will leave your impression on the Earth, and we will all be thankful to have one less semi-hairless monkey jumping around and screaming about everyone offending and hurting them.
Flamebait, but it's great!
Oops. Users of crummy-censoware probably won't see that....
"Although it is a challenge to keep up with hackers who attempt to undermine filtering software, the result in the long run is a better product," SurfControl vice president Kelly Haggerty said in a statement. "We will investigate this and other hacking claims as they arise."
How can this possibly be called hacking when it doesn't require altering or patching the filtering software at all and uses standard http requests to the net, just like accesses to any other non-blocked site. It's merely a demonstration of loophole in the censorware - that it doesn't examine the content of the page being downloaded, just the URL.
You can't see a laser unless the light is directed at you.
That's what I thought, but then can anyone explain the article author's comment "I can actually see the laser beam with a pair of special glasses"? Something that can detect the very small degree of scattering from minute dust particles in the air?
It's funny how liberals will smoke weed yet at the same time yell at you for eating red meat or smoking cigarettes. So taking a drug that kills your brain cells is ok yet the occasional comsumption of steak is a sin.
It's the principle of natural selection. Kill off all the brain cells less suited to their environment and you'll be left with only the smart ones.
New Scientist have a very interesting article on just this, though in this particular case the ink particles are actually tiny little capsules containing black dye and white particles rather than carbon nanotubes.
Imagine a computer on a touch-sensitive piece of paper you could fold up and stick in your pocket...
There will always be a market for faster processors because there will always be people who just have to have the fastest processor around.
Seriously though, it seems to me that this will have to limit out however. Except for scientific applications, most computers (ie, the home market) don't need all that power. Sure, games will always be pushing that envelope, but even then going much faster doesn't seem to have much use (does it really matter if Quake can run at 150 fps or 300 fps when your monitor only scans at 120 Hz anyway...?)
It's good to see an informed article on this topic that doesn't come to the conclusion that Internet users want to keep their browsing private. As long as the information isn't being retrieved through devious means, I'm quite happy to provide my age, address (to the nearest major town), type of computer, eating habits, etc, if it means that the ads I view will be for things I'm interested in.

Perhaps, then we need censorship software that can censor excessive skintones. Preferably software that works and doesn't get easily fooled, though...

Don't worry... it's just as oxymoronic as virtual reality
