    ...opaque contact lenses?

    Like the tinted windows on your car, they will become illegal.. Many banks now require you to remove your sunglasses and ball cap as you enter. Besides, in the future, if not already, the machines will easily discriminate between a plastic surface and a natural cornea. And also, as we enter this new dark age, opaque lenses might not be very practical, if you know what I'm sayin'. May as well just poke your eyes out.

    Please tell me how well will your cloud work when you can be cut off with the flip of the switch? Three strikes, and you're out. And how many of your ISPs let you run a web, ftp, or any other kind of server? Read your contract... They could probably nail you for your bittorrent

    Gee! If I only read TFA... Answers all the other posts too.

    Ironically, the software uses a data-encryption method called “steganography” to hide text inside images and other files...The researchers admit that it is likely the governments of various countries where the software might be used could discover the hidden messages and then block either specific users or social networking sites such as Twitter and Flickr...

    How many alcohol cartels are out killing people right now? Only where there is prohibition do you have this problem. The demand will always be there. In fact it's possible the cartels are the ones who threaten politicians if they don't impose prohibition to begin with. Oh damn! I just made your point. Well, I suppose we could organize a boycott... Then again you could read up on the Opium Wars of the 1850s..

  23. Re:American Guns!! Yay NRA!! on Narco-Blogger Beats Mexico Drug War News Blackout · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, the GP is correct. It is prohibition and the resulting corruption of the authorities that is causing the bloodshed. We haven't learned the lesson of alcohol prohibition yet. So the war will continue until then. This is not an NRA issue at all. It should be a lesson of how power corrupts. Legalize now, and the gangs will be out of business before the week is out.
