    ...power to control..

    For the people, some 6 billion plus to communicate openly they will find they are no different in their daily living and can become friends.

    But for those in positions of power and control, they would not want this to happen as it takes control and power away from them and even exposes them as the perpetrator of all the bad shit they put on the rest of us.

    Here is an example of what better can be done and raises the question of why is it not being done Want to beat terrorism, then remove the reasons that motivate terrorism.

    It is some fraction of 1% of the population that is causing the problems for the rest of us.

  8. Its called a half-lap-top on Options For a Laptop With a Broken Screen? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I used one to teach myself AutoCAD on.

    Was a bench carpenter for 27 years and decided I was getting to old for the sawdust.
    A co-worker had given me a busted lap top and and so I got a monitor I'd leave at the shop with my toolbox but would take the half-lap-top home with me.
    I'd study Autocad during lunch...

    Now I work in the cad deparment programming CNC routers and doing construction drawings for some stuff some may thing is cool.

    So there is certainly a place for half-lap-tops... especially with the low cost flat screen today.

  12. New rules for what qualifies as a terrorist. on Slashdot Mentioned In Virginia Terrorism Report · · Score: 1

    If you don't like grape jelly on your peanut butting and jelly sandwich, you are a terrorist.

    But as a matter of fact, there are anonymous remaillers and other such support for genuinely anonymous internet based communications even set up on servers at universities of law.

    Of the reasons for this is that supporting freedom of speech for those who may otherwise be subjected to restricted speech laws in the country they reside.
    Where there is wrong doing going on and victims of such, the victims are provided a way to communicate that provides some level of anonymous.

    In regards to terrorism, if you were a terrorist, would you not want some verification of who you are communicating with regarding your associates in regards to committing a terrorist act?

    So the reality of this connection between anonymous and terrorism is no more valid than claiming anyone with a motor vehicle is a terrorist.
    It is actually more an act of showing intent to suppress freedom of speech and supporting terrorism.

    Language is a tool that is onl as useful as the two or more parites who use it with an agreed upon meaning of the abstraction used.
    With this in mind and knowing a terrorist party could easily devise double talk vocabuilary that could easily slip b y NSA or other security agencies in teh world, we are all suspect of being terrorist simply because we communicate.

    Don't like grape jelly on your peanut and jelly sandwich ... who is to know that is NOT a code phrase to initiate acts of terrorism?

    But the genuine honesty of the mater is much simpler.

    The how to stop terrorism and the ability of those interested in committing terrorism from being able to enlist the help of others, is to remove reason for anyone to commit a terrorist act.

    for starters What The World Wants as opposed to what military supporters want.

    and the answer is.... the more the merrier.... as it helps the economy employ more people, instead of better pay for fewer hours and better vacations time to enjoy the better things in life while you can.

    how all this washes out.... I don't know, what cost more 10 people to change a light bulb, or a light bulb that cost ten times more but lasts ten times longer?

    Obama, really should be careful to be genuinely fair, otherwise he only puts more weight on the public camels back.

    Otherwise its gonna break and the civil out break against the government that has been analyzed by economists and reported as a real possibility, will happen. Its predicted to happen next year.

    The current laughability level is that of what it was before the Soviet Union collapsed, bu the laughability of this at one time, did not stop it from happening.
    Even I find the map laughable but tax payers are getting very tired of footing the bill for billionaire bull shit.
