"Smitten", buddy.
Smite: I'm going to smite you for your poor usage of the word. Smote: I just smote you for your poor usage. Smitten: You have been smitten for your poor usage.
If you dunno how to use Elizabethan English, you prolly oughtta avoid it.
I think privacy is something each of us is going to have to be responsible for and arrange for ourselves. I think it highly likely that government trying to protect our anonymity is a fight that can't be won.
1. Despite government's best efforts, the criminally minded will always find a way to compromise your privacy,
2. government itself, regardless of which party is in charge, is interested in some of your private data (Republicans want to know what you're doing in your bedroom; Democrats want to know if you utter some racial slur in a private conversation...)

records that don't exists?
Idiots!
Begging the question means something else.
I suppose you'll sue me for copyright violation when I send a copy of the C&D letter to my lawyer?
Obviously you misunderstood what they mean by "discuss this with their customers".
Discuss, as in, "Oh, by the way, we're changing the terms of your service."
Palimpsest? Are they planning to routinely overwrite your data?
"... has no capital, and its titular head is a person whose whereabouts nobody knows."
I like to irradiate my beef a bit before eating it (on the barbecue is the best way).
> I try to buy as much organic food possible.
Me too! That inorganic stuff is completely inedible...
I'm already apathetic.
Who cares whether it's from a cloned animal.
It's the same meat.

True enough.
But why do the staff and faculty have to pander to it?
It like that probably because the staff and faculty have never graduated to the Real World, so haven't had to grow out of their own youthful idealism.
... with someone who's completely biased the other way?
OK, so she's a "mom", but that doesn't make her the spokesperson for all moms.

Maybe not.
"Independent" radio stations will just have to go all the way,
and become independent of RIAA music.
You're all being silly.
Neither Christian (Catholic or otherwise) or Jew believes in a "humanoid" God.
"Big Man in the Sky" is a Mormon conception of God, though...
So, what do you call non-belief, despite the evidence?
#3: Do not spill blood!
There's a reason their "modernization" attemps have been crushed.
Maybe what Iran should start with is modernizing its attitude concerning how to get along with neighbors and the rest of the world, infidels and all.
"In the past"?
What do you think they're doing with all those supercomputers at the National Labs right now ? Especially Los Alamos, Sandia and Livermore.

POGO have a political ax to grind, in that they represent the Luddites who are scared of anything that might be related to "nuclear".

I thought it was the evil, rat-bastard Republicans that were in the back pocket of the MAFIAA..
Really, I wasn't trolling.
It's honestly what I think of the article.
this whole story sounds like a troll designed to stir up the 9/11 truthers and the tin-foil hat crowd.
... people might actually use it as a telephone, instead of a web browser?
Sure, that makes sense.
