I saw the above titled movie last night at a screening in New York. It examines Monsanto's extensive attempts to control both the global food supply and departments of the US government through the introduction of genetically modified seeds.
This decision does nothing good for us, the consumers, who OWN the airwaves.
please, citizens, not consumers. things will only change once we think of ourselves as active agents for governmental and economic reform and act accordingly.
The Magic Lantern technology, part of a broad FBI project called "Cyber Knight," would allow investigators to secretly install over the Internet powerful eavesdropping software that records every keystroke on a person's computer, according to people familiar with the effort.
The software is somewhat similar to so-called trojan software already used illegally by some hackers and corporate spies. The FBI envisions one day using Magic Lantern to record the secret unlocking key a person might use to scramble messages or computer files with encryption software.
does anyone know of a URL for a well-written anti-microsoft screed that would be understood by my grandmother? something that intelligently synthesizes arguments against hailstorm/passport/closed source/key escrow/etc. and for the adoption of free software?
... I've had to buy some CDs twice (and #$Y&^@ Tidal by Fiona Apple FOUR times)...

Seriously give it a read it may come from Micro$oft but like "Code Complete" its worth a read.
Having been conned by my prestigious cs department into buying this piece of garbage for an intro course, allow me to dissent. Of course, I was unable to get past the inane, endless manifesto on the "modified Hungarian notation." That is, IIRC, because I the book went up in flames during exam period of spring freshman year as an offering to the unix gods.
you know, it would make sense for the WTO to inject felonious protesters so as to bring on a police action that would distract the media from actually covering the peaceful protestors and disseminating the anti-WTO agenda.

The "clean" solution is to use wind energy to electrolyze the hydrogen from water.

I will not make an argument -- I think reading the relevant document, perhaps starting here, will make it clear as to why this is ridiculous.
people need to hide their vices. therefore they need (untraceable) cash.
once again, porn and drugs will withstand the onslaught of governmental interference.
