Hmmm...it would be difficult to beat. I'm Guessing to beat it you'd need an article citing a discussion to get Godwin's Law as -1st (or is that -1th) post?
Slaves and criminals were marked with red hot iron before. It happened in America and elsewhere. If that's not forced permanent identification, I wonder what is.
Yes, but that's only a forced permenant identification as belonging to a certain group. I'd imagine the implanted RFID is unique to each employee. It seems much more like being branded/tatooed... only with your name and list of criminal offences burnt/inked into your skin as well.
And just wait until they start setting off the anti-theft detectors in every store they visit:)
But it wouldn't be MAD, if you could instantly obliterate an opponent. The deterrent effect of MAD hinges on an opponent being able to retaliate. An instant attack would essentially nullify this, as they would not be able to respond.
I'd like to note that I, for one, would rather not have anyone have the ability to direct anything, weapon or not, into the planet at an apreciable fraction of c.
How much damage would 1 ton of Jell-o brand instant pudding(just because that would be degrading to be beaten by pudding based weaponry) hitting Moscow at.5c do?
Wow. And what do we do with the unfortunate fellow who requested magazines his neighbours do not approve of? Burn the rascal at a stake?
No you do the same thing we do now to people providing something that is objectionable to the community that it is being provided into.
so yes, but the kids at the stake for requsting the porn, don't burn the poor smutmonger for providing porn to someone who lied about their ages and "borrowed" mommy's credit card.
I'd love to see more of Death, but, have you ever thought about how his voice would sound in the real world? I don't think it'd quite work with real voices.
I just wonder if he'd end up with the same accent he has on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy... because a Jamacan Death would be... odd Either that or requisition James Earl Jones and give us a less asthmatic Darth Vader-like death SUSAN... I AM YOUR GRANDFATHER *Vader breath*
Ok, forget the community standards of the recipient. Do it at the place of origin.
Perhaps that's not the best solution either. Let's make it illegal to make a request for materials that are objectionable by the community standards at their origin.
That way it's illegal to ask for porn from someone that's located where it's illegal to distribute Porn.
Of course, no one wants a porno shop next to their children's daycare, and some rightfully saw these establishments as blights on their community.
You are absolutely correct Daycares are a blight on the community. In fact there is, in our city, an Adult Shop called the Glass Eye which has been located on it's premises for as long as I can remember (around 20 years) about 10 years ago, the Red Wing Boots store that was adjacent to it in the little strip-mall-esque arangement. The empty storefront was purchased by Super Duck Daycare (for some reason there are many daycares with Duck in their names) and at some point within a few years, I beleive there were calls from the community to have The Glass Eye shut down. Fortunately the people in charge saw that the porn shop was the established business and more or less told Super Duck Daycare to bugger off (which they could probably buy lube for next door) both business continue to operate to this day. They also tried the same trick with a Strip club and building a private school within the minimum legal distance for the selling of alcohol or something, and the school was told to deal with it
Even if we are fingerprinted, DNA sampled and chipped at birth ID's would still be faked. ID's are not totally secure and never can be. As someone stated in another thread, we really want to know who is the bad guy. But that can only be determined from actions not an ID.
Which is why our RealIDs well be required by a later law to be machine read at the time of every purchase and will replace the ignition keys for your car (to reduce the occurrance of vehicle theft, of course.) That way, they will know where all the good guys are at any given time. and there's gonna be another law making it illegal to sheild the RFID mechanism of your RealID, because only terrorists have faraday cages:) of course that's all well and good until someone starts cloning RFID signatures and just constantly broadcasts a variety of them at random intervals totally messing up the system. The future belongs to the IDphreakers
Moderators - Samir Gupta is a known troll. Nothing in the parent post is correct - "Power Glove" is the giveaway. Moderate down (I can't - I'm one of those who never gets mod points anymore)
I thought the poqwer glove reference was a dead giveaway that it was a joke. I found it rather laughable at least
After all, an organization must have a flawless track record before they're allowed to accelerate a projectile at 28,860 miles per hour towards the earth.
Unfortunately for the inhabitants of Utah, the guys at NASA put the decimal point in the wrong place again. The Probe will be entering at a new revised velocity of 288,600 Miles per hour
Bah, you beat me to it. I bet they're counting each multiple of 400 MHz as a seperate computer.
Totally Unrealted: 3 years ago I was told that I should upgrade my computer because the current FSB had a faster clock speed than the CPU. That computer (lovingly named Pavlov) now ticks away in another room serving the home network which includes Laika and Gaspode along with some district issued laptop (there's a teacher in the house) with a gibber-speak ident that we're not allowed to change. I'd much rather give it a dog related name though.
Wow, could the summary have been worded just a bit differently? Highly sensitive sensory organs? I would hope there isn't some evolutionary goal for mostly insensitive sensory organs, mediumly sensitive nonsensory gland (I beleive Dr. Seuss had a fully developed one) or even the dreaded exceedingly sensitive appendix wrinkle.
Oh, and a nice warning about the NYTimes soul draining registation would have been nice.
After some analysis, I've already discovered what appears to be a critical vulnerability already in the 360's chain of trust.
The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station.
Wow, the 360 must use some sort of transfinite spatail interface just to have a 2 meter wide thermal port. That and shouldn't that be
A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the [Play]station [3].
2. Not every 360 bought yesterday has been opened and tested. It's the holiday season, how many of those 360s are going under a tree or menorah or whatever?
But wouldn't you get tinsel or pine needles or wax on the shiney new box?
I personally found ways to entertain myself throught grade school which mostly involved reading books in class, which landed me in both the behavior modification program and the gifted and talented program (I think the only student in both).
I think I had a slightly similar situation. Except I landed in Speach class because I didn't speak to anyone until second grade. Always had a book or drawing going on one side of the desk with notes of everything the teacher was saying on the other.

Not to be overly sarcastic about this, but notice the absolute lack of any international treaties regarding the uses of teleport chambers, portals, and care bear stares.... It's a serious treaty.
Actually the only reason there's no treaty regarding Care Bear Stares is that we've been unable to establish an embasy in Care-a-lot due to it's unique local geology being incompatable with our current building technology. As such we've never had a chance to normalize political relations.
That and a Care Bear Stare would only be offensively effective against an enemy that is apathetic or even emotionally hostile.
They also have no oil.

Ah n00b! You never tell them how long it will actually take (who knows anyway?) Read some BOFH. You tell them it will take 2 weeks every time. Then it will take you one week and you either tell them you're done early and get praise, or slack off for a week and hand it in on time in 2 weeks. Either way you don't get people breathing down your neck - daily progress meetings actually get in the way of progress!
That is suprisingly similar to the advice Scotty gave to Jordi in that "Relics" episode of ST:TNG. He pretty much scolded Jordi for not exagerating repair times and then finishing early.
