What nation wants to spend money to send people up into space to clean up after what's essentially other people's garbage? There's no immediate gain, so nobody's going to do it.
One man's junk is another man's treasure. I have ideas about this very idea going all the way back to the late 70's. Why haven't I done anything about it, you may ask? Simple, not finding a backer with the funding that also has the forethought to move forward in a time frame that made space collection unrealistic and unnecessary. And now, the necessity is realistic, but now more expensive.
Then you don't quite understand our system of government. The Republican congress had to ram the balanced budget down his throat.

Besides "beyond your grasp", your point being? To think that the career criminal politicians are making policy, is the most inane thing to believe. The wheeler dealers, movers and shakers, the powers behind the power direct the influence which makes governmental policy. The politicians are nothing more than the scapegoats when this whole mess comes to a grinding halt. The true power isn't even in the shadows because it's too bright. You need to look in the gutters, the deepest caverns, the really blind alleys, and it is there you will find the faintest hint of what you don't know.
Tracking cursor movements is tantamount to an invasion of privacy. The only thing missing is a MAC address mouse with a biometric fingerprint scanner, that way the government can track your movements from the time you purchase the mouse to the time and place the mouse is installed and used. Talk about big brother. P.S. I, slick7 do hereby claim the concept of a MAC address mouse (IPv4,IPv6,IPv8,IPV16,IPv32) with biometric fingerprint scanner on this date,27 July, 2010 at the time of 2059 GMT. This claim supercedes any claim after this date and time, so there you insensitive clod.
Any fine that is payable is better than being held criminally responsible. The precedent has been set, therefore "they" can do it again knowing that the "fee" is affordable.
This seems to have been a major operating theory of the patent system since the early 90's. And yet, here it still is.
The patent office has been screwed ever since Edison was in charge of screwing Tesla. Now all patents are useless or covered by national security.
When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him. - RAH
If the FBI wants to build databases of people who make offhand, whimsical comments in online forums I say more power to them. I work for a major storage vendor.

Many people have difficulty evaluating just how much something is worth, because of sunk costs.
Many people have difficulty evaluating just how much something is worth, until it's gone. Digital media can be manipulated, film leaves a frozen moment in time. Case in point, BP and their continuing distortion of the truth about the Gulf spill. These criminals are doing everything possible to make themselves look like innocent victims. Good luck with that.
"Oh god! This one's too smart! He'll see through our liberal conspiracy!"
"Quick, recommend his name to the Government Death Panel/Healthcare Board! And remove his access to tin foil!"
I guess the shit for brains knuckle-heads can go directly to Congress or the Senate and the terminally incompetent can go to the IRS and the Federal Reserve.
They will, when the tobacco industry fully integrates M into their processes. Then it will be outlawed for all individual growing for personal medicinal/ recreational use. The tobacco industry will then adulterate their product to be even more harmful than cigarettes. As for hemp products, the industrial conglomerates will never stand for hemp paper, oil, protein, ethanol, clothing, plastics, medicines, or any other product that will benefit the world's populace. The greed, hunger for power and control will just continue seamlessly into the same corrupt hands as always.
US wants to lock him up for pointing out our blank password mess.
This seem[s] to be about making him a political prisoner!
The funny thing is that our own government employees can lose sensitive data concerning the American citizens, fail to properly secure networks and network nodes, ignore/ violate/ bypass communication protocols and receive little or no censure compared to McKinnon's "crime". And yet, there is so much secrecy in what this government is actually doing that it boggles the mind. The very constitution is being trampled on in the name of national security. I believe that the only security being protected is that of the rogue politicians (and they are all rogue, even the honest ones who fail to fight the system from within),
who have abrogated their responsibilities to the American people, in the name of self-serving avarice.
The true malware ala Dell is in removing anything that Dell installs automatically. The only way to shutdown Dell's bovine scatology is to shutdown Dell, permanently.

If he pissed off Congress badly enough they can always impeach him.
Oh wait...
It doesn't matter, the Pope and the head of the 13 black families have the last word, so there.
Don't be silly. Google is ALWAYS watching.
Why do you think China allows them in.
For the fancy google letters on momentous days?

In Soviet Russia, mouse tracks you.
I am all for more focused ads.
Yeah, on a page I don't even visit.
This is the same company that said personal computers wouldn't take off. They made 250,000 PCs, just enough to cover the 2 million orders.
When has there ever been any credibility to corporate lobbying?
It's Big Money.

I use a touch screen you inconsiderate clod.
I use a wet wire direct cranial link, you insensitive clod!

Well fortunately I'm thousands of miles from this judge, and don't own a single round of .30-06, so I guess I'm in the clear.
I'm sure L.H. Oswald thought the same thing.

That's ok, just don't work in a book repository.

That's probably so the judge can't be threatened with a layoff to influence his verdict.
The payoff came when the appointment was approved. Staying in office is another thing. Cite Murphy's law here.
Why do I get the feeling that the DICK Cheney is involved?
My "spidey sense" is tingling.
Did you rtfa? The government loves child porn!
The government loves NAZIS too. Ever hear of Operation Paperclip?
