Sounds a lot like the Church of Scientology's warnings against it's low level parishoners against listening to leaked CoS documents, lest it corrupt their unconditioned minds.

I agree, I spent about a week and a half using it daily for international collaboration, and don't care for it much. The main problems were that it's too sluggish, and I can't stand having every key I type sent out before I have a chance to proofread (which is, of course, also a main reason it's so sluggish). But even beyond that, I found it conducive to very disorganized "conversations" with no good way to navigate them. I'm sticking with plain old email for the foreseeable future.
Why? A one time investment of a couple dozen TV's couldn't possibly have valid use in government offices? Seems to me that government employees might rather frequently have a good reason to tune into the local or national news.
I think the best tattoos (best meaning least likely to lead to regret, not most likely to entertain or get you laid) are of things about which you're just slightly on the positive side of ambivalence. Passion burns hot, but often quickly; getting a tattoo of something you're really into right now---your boyfriend/girlfriend, favorite band, the eye-on-pyramid motif---is clearly a bad idea. I would imagine an interest in science and mathematics is going to outlast most other passions, but I'd still be reluctant to wear it so literally on my sleeve. Maybe it won't be your interest in math or science that wanes, but your interest in tattoos.
Ignoring what I just said, if you're a programmer NULL and VOID would make a good set of knuckle tattoos.
The hex fingerprint for your PGP public key would make a good tattoo. Public Key crypto is deeply mathematical, and you'll be sure to always have your fingerprint available. Include some kind of stylized fingerprint image (meaning an actual human fingerprint, not a mathematical fingerprint) and you might even encounter a handful of stranger's who grok the meaning and invite a key exchange.
The summary given in this post is incorrect and misleading in asserting that the Pope was attacking transparency. According to the cited article, the Pope did not address the issue of transparency. The dangers he mentioned were in regards to the "widening of the frontiers of communication" in general, i.e., the web. He also hailed modern comm tech as pointing "to a more 'egalitarian and pluralistic' forum". In fact, the Vatican spokesman specifically said "This is the time for truth, transparency and credibility...We must be in a condition of having nothing to hide" just prior to the Pope's address.
tcd004, and perhaps kdawson, might want to think about reading the featured article before summarizing/posting it.
Just as a point of reference, you can get a domain name for 5$ a year. The bigger issue is that a lot of ISPs give you crap about trying to run your own mail server. Blocking port 25 is not uncommon.
If privacy is a concern (as stated), my only advice is to stay off social media sites. Besides just the common issues of implicit privacy being compromised or betrayed, they really just aren't meant for privacy. They're actually meant for the exact opposite: sharing information with the world. If you want privacy, send (encrypted) emails, keep a journal, set up your own blog where you can carefully control who sees what. Bottom line is that these sites are information companies, just like Google. They make their money by sharing information about you. If you don't like that, don't give them the information in the first place.
That's the biggest load of crap I've heard all day. When was the last time you stood up and spoke out against Christian extremists? (or whatever other cultural group you belong to). Why would you? You don't consider yourself affiliated with them (at least, I'm assuming that's the case) and you have no particular responsibility for their actions or opinions.
Try to avoid being so ignorant in the future. It's not all Muslims, or even the majority. As is normally the case with any group, it is a small but vocal minority that is getting the most attention.

Not for anything, the spring issue of 2600 has an article on prepaid phone use by drug dealers.
You're right of course, sorry about that. I guess I need to pay more attention when I'm criticizing other for not doing the same. =J
Oops, LoudMusic already pointed that out. Sorry.
For what it's worth, that's clearly a chef's knife, not a meat clever.

First thing I thought of, too.
I forgot about Player Piano, though I think there was a super-computer-in-a-cave in Breakfast of Champions, too.
A similar (though admittedly less severe) thing used to happened all the time on my old Sonata. The solution was to simply throw away the floor mat.
Without agreeing or disagreeing, let me just point out that some double standards are appropriate.
Man, I am battin' a thousand. I'm gonna go ahead and stop talking on this thread now. =J
Nope, sorry. I sit corrected. Neon Spiral Injector (#21234) pointed out that they do not.
Huh, I had no idea, thanks for pointing that out. In that case, I don't get what she was renting that would out her. Ani Difranco videos?
Buy tickets for the arch from me now!
Ark.
Which is exactly what they specified in the article. They're not making any argument, they're reporting on their findings, and very specifically say:
...we can make no claim to have discovered WIMPs
There's a term for that: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_Streisand_effect
I think the outter was the particular list of movies she was renting...
