It doesn't need to be 100% for the government's purposes anyway (assuming that the 'think of the children' is just a smokescreen). It's fairly trivial to circumvent anyway. However it'd be handy for hindering instant mass public knowledge of things.
Spore (and other EA games) are coming to Steam. So near. they've begun selling games priced in local currency for European customers. The only problem? Their conversion rate seems to be $1 per â1. Yet so far.
They wouldn't necessarily need to tap the cable there. As the first linked article says, "Most of the B to B traffic between Europe and Asia is rerouted through the USA." Where no doubt it could be eavesdropped on more conveniently.
Yes, I've realised since. Should have engaged my brain before posting. I can't think of what I was looking at then. It looked like Google Maps embedded in some blog or news site. I wonder why it's blank then?
Anyone else seeing Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan as blank areas with no towns or roads in Google Maps? The change happened sometime in the last few hours.
I'm using VM at the moment but have been considering switching due to STM, Phorm and general crapness since the Telewest/NTL merger. Sooooo I'm going to leave aMule running every night sharing all my music and see how long it takes to get a letter and whether they cut me off.
sometimes I call tech support, and the person on the other end sounds American at first, but then I can hardly understand them and nothing they say makes sense.
That's because they've moved their tech support to Washington DC.
Perhaps it's because all the lovers of freedom flock to America, whereas people who think they can trade freedom for security.... stay home where they belong.
There are forms of economic activity other than the exchange of physical objects, knowledge and entertainment being two of them.
The efforts to build and enforce the ludicrous legal infrastructure that this sort of 'artificially created' (for want of a better phrase) market requires are going about as well as the Golgafrinchan 'B' ark survivors attempts to make the leaf their medium of exchange even though we're all currently confined to the one planet. Trying to do this over interplanetary or even interstellar distances would require levels of bloodymindedness and stupidity that I hope will never exist.
Greylisting helps, but not much since most spam is retried multiple times.
The only spams I've seen retried are those which are retried multiple times within minutes of the initial delivery attempt ( which are also greylisted ) and the rare example coming via an open relay, which is in an SBL by the time the delivery would otherwise be accepted.
I can't be the only person who finds the terms 'precision' and 'surgical' sickeningly hilarious when applied to airstrikes in urban areas. Also the likely sequence of events is probably something like: 1) Insurgent sniper climbs onto roof of house 2) Insurgent sniper shoots US soldier 3) Insurgent sniper legs it double quick 4) Unsuspecting householder still wondering what that noise on the roof is but afraid to go look has 2000lb bomb dropped on their house, killing them and most of their neighbours.
I still have a 1997 cellphone. My Sony Ericsson T610 died and I've been using my uncle's old Nokia 8110i ever since. I've noticed the call quality is much better. It does have a few drawbacks though; there's no clock display and the antenna wears holes in my pocket.

It is posts like this that make censorship look like a good idea.
Why? You know where the link goes. If you don't want to see it then obviously you don't follow the link.

Maybe I'm not imagining it after all. There's a thread on Reddit with a few posters claiming that it wasn't blank before. No screenshots though.

I have used "no.one@nowhere.org" and "some.one@somewhere.org" as bogus email addresses before
Damn, can't get the Picard facepalm ascii past the lameness filter.
Me. It's now my homepage.
Plans include having reactors supplied with fuel by the US and other trusted nations
Trusted by who?
What the hell does that actually mean?
Is there any, any, any reason at all to believe in the validity of these techniques?
You're looking at it the wrong way. Somebody somewhere is making money from this.

Not sure whether this is irony or paradox.
The Chief and his wife also survived in open space for about 5-10 seconds on Battlestar Galactica, Season 3, "A day in the life".
Yes, but given that they were wearing some sort of breathing apparatus the pressure differential would probably have ruptured their eardrums.

The US defenses are oriented and located to where they will NOT be able to counter ANY Russion launches toward the US or Europe.
AFAIK given the semi-vapourware status of this missile defense system it wouldn't be able to counter any launches from anywhere.

I've recently enabled the FuzzyOCRplugin for SpamAssassin and it works really well.
Likewise here. I've not seen a single one of those pump and dump image spams since installing it.

The IPPR is very very close to the governing Labour party
But are they actually on Tony's sofa ?
