Well, if you can drown them out, it won't matter if you know where they are. Just assume they are everywhere, and let the machine handle it, and you won't get into trouble for destroying state property.
Since we'll be surrounded by all these noise generators, I suppose pink noise would be more relaxing.
I'm more optimistic. New technology is always forthcoming. Right now we are arguing whether man will ever fly. Things that appear impossible now are, in reality, merely difficult.
I figure if you need more bandwidth, you connect to more nodes. And DHCP, DNS, TCP/IP, etc will be depreciated, they will have to be for it to work. We're still at the horse and buggy stage with this stuff. I will know we will start making at least minimal progress when the computer is ready to use when I turn it on, not waiting for a minute or two like an old 1950s TV set.
Is that a lot of vague bullshit? Sure it is, but I'd rather motivate people, instead of discouraging them by saying it can't be done. Somebody will succeed eventually. It is something that needs to be done, if we really want to make sure the internet stays open for everybody. Present technology won't cut it.
It's the tone he set for all his successors. It's dumb to single out Clinton from the crowd, as the person I initially responded to does. She is just a regular politician. If she is a problem, don't vote for he. There are alternatives. And if all you're going to come back are the odds of winning or the "lesser evil" BS, save your breath.
Microphones are too easy to hide, behind a panel, whatever. What might work is a personal little white noise generator (the old running faucet in the bathroom trick). Humans can "hear around it", a microphone can't. It will hear static. For a wireless mic, signal jammers. They wouldn't need to transmit beyond 20 yards or so, making them difficult to catch.
The "backbone" is part of the problem. Ad hoc eliminates the need to have one. Instead of one big pipe that can be cut, you have millions of little ones that will be unstoppable. Freedom wins!
Anybody that thinks they can get privacy through politics is nuts. And since we have none, we should do what we can to make sure the government doesn't either. They won't respect ours unless they suffer the same consequences.
Without ad hoc/mesh networking the "internet" will never be secure, or private. You don't acquire those things through politics. You need the irresistible force of technology. The cops behave better when they know they are on camera. So let's turn this whole "spying" thing around. Never give the state the advantage.
The better solution is to not allow the patenting and copyright of what would otherwise be unprocessed food. Biological processes are too random to allow it to be under such control. You can copyright/patent the process, but not the product once it is out in the wild, "contaminating" everything around.
Apples are a 2000 year old food, clones from grafting. 25 years is a short time. Let's wait a few generations to see what mutates before we decide it is unequivocally harmless.
Slackware has a USB version of the "floppy" in the distro that you dd to a stick to boot from, which is just used for the install. The live version I use is not from Slackware (Slackware (Pat) itself does not produce live systems) per se, but the entire setup is drawn from official Slackware, Slackbuild, and KDE mirrors (for plasma 5, there is an unmodified Slackware iso made to run live also). I haven't tried an install from it. I'm happy running it live as is. I just back up the home directory to save my personal changes.
# These are the default runlevels in Slackware: # 0 = halt # 1 = single user mode # 2 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3) # 3 = multiuser mode (default Slackware runlevel) # 4 = X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (session managers) # 5 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3) # 6 = reboot
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6) id:4:initdefault:
Now with Plasma 5! You can plug the stick into any machine, and it runs perfectly right out of the box, two monitors, weird audio, doesn't matter, everything works.
This is the kind of thing that we need eminent domain for. They should either lease the space or lose ownership. I hope the voters are watching this, and are ready to pounce if the politicians and courts fall down.

How much of all our generated electricity is being thrown into this pit?

If they lose it, the replacements won't hesitate to censor everything they can.
Can I shout FIRE! in a crowded internet?

"If the president does it, it's not illegal" - That predates HRC by a long shot.

Does this mean they'll be selling to Microsoft after it catches on?

Yeah, but I have to sell it. Gimme an offer...
It should taken and placed in the public domain. Problem solved...
Tell me these battles are being fought any differently, with dueling protesters and everything. Facts hardly enter the picture.
I do want labels though, just like I want signs and color to indicate where the bike lanes are. Doesn't that make sense?

the car should have realized
Well, maybe it just having a bad day.
Aren't we getting a bit too anthropomorphic here?
Really. Someday they might connect it to TCAS
Oh Christ! To hell with this!
Whether you wield the sticks or someone else wields them on your behalf is semantics.
Well, that, and general consensus...
Couldn't be simpler:
open /etc/inittab
# These are the default runlevels in Slackware:
# 0 = halt
# 1 = single user mode
# 2 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
# 3 = multiuser mode (default Slackware runlevel)
# 4 = X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (session managers)
# 5 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
# 6 = reboot
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)

:-) Oh? Is that what his autobiography says? Okay, another stalemate. I don't feel like arguing

Once you go Slack, you never look back!
