And when they have tracking tags on everyone, that information could be sold to companies like advertisers. The money raised will go towards funding programs that will protect your rights as a consumer/taxpayer.
What about a large number of privately owned cameras in a downtown area, among other things positioned to read the licence plates of people stopping at intersections? Yes, I guess surrendering that downtown area to this group could be done.
Truck driving seems to be a big thing with a real shortage. Not as slack-sounding as an IT job leading to dot.com rockstar wealth (like the commercials seemed to say) but hopefully it'll draw some of them away.
I, for one, welcome our 18+-wheel Devry-trained highway juggernaut overlords. (Something has to prey on the SUV populations.)
It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
If you're using Spybot - Search & Destroy, make sure you have it set to Advanced mode rather than the default. Then you get a Tools option in the left-hand selector bar. Open that up, and there's whole pile of tools and reports, including startup and BHOs.
Once you've removed CoolWeb for the week, replace Microsoft's Java VM with a real one. As I recall, if you closed off everything else, that was the exploit it used. (Or turn off Javascript.)
I notice that their "affiliates" buy up loads of domains as they expire and turn them into farms directing traffic to sites to install CoolWeb or lesser relatives.
I can't wait for the headless-chicken legal/political responses. When they discovered that anyone could listen to their cell-radio conversations, they banned scanners that could cover those frequencies. (Wow, that was effective!) Eventually the technical solution was to go digital/encrypted.
What are they going to do this time, ban WiFi cards? (Perhaps a warning sticker on products: "This is not a phone or a LAN. This is a two-way radio. Wireless means they don't need wires either.")
I still think replacing the Slashdot logo with an animated GIF version that occasionally has the o blowing raspberries HHGTTG style would have been more fun. (Hit the Google logo with a 600613 mod too so someone will notice it.)
The absolute best free beer was when I was working summers at the old O'Keefe brewery in Montreal. On Fridays evenings (students usually worked evening/night shift), the union regulars brought up cases of cold draft (i.e. straight from the fillers) from the third floor and if you were an experienced student working the uncasers or the soaker, you were expected to partake. (The soaker used a damned hot caustic-soda solution to remove labels and mice from the bottles. A cold beer was very nice between fishing exploded bottle fragments out of the soaker loader.)
Lynx? No thankie, easier to scribble up something that understands fonts. As for Windows, walking around DEFCON displaying signs of hot bright insanity would fun. (After talking precautions, like scrubbing a laptop clean before and after the convention.)
If I was going to play games with people's wifi, I would have used a lighter touch: Only replace DoubleClick pix requests (if anyone doesn't have them blocked), only hit a particular browser program at a time, or just replace the Slashdot logo.:^) (Suggestion: use an animated GIF where the O sticks its tongue out. Make wonder if they're going insane. "Did you see that?" "What?")
Which is why I wouldn't expect it to work for very long.:^) Do modern browsers have a switch to turn off graphics? (I'm sure the copy of Mosaic I keep for testing does.) If I wanted to be a smart-.. person, I'd slip in a proxy that turned all incoming pictures into cute kitty pix. Pretty silly, but better than a face-full of ass!

Wasn't that during the Scully years? That was much later than the writer was talking about.
There was the MagicSac program (later Spectre) with allowed the Atari ST to use more-or-less legal Mac ROMs and run Mac software.
Those rights you have left, that is.

Umm, the Daleks do have an organic component, as did the Cylons in the original movie release (only in Canada eh) and book.
He does seem to have put a lot of work into it. His site and his other site
You mean with the flying motercycles Galactica '80-style? "CHiPs in Spaaaace!"

Not really. Even if Steamboat Willie falls into public domain, Disney still has a trademark on the character of Mickey Mouse.
What he's quoting

Remember: It's a small world after all. It's a small small world.

We need to spend money on important problems like a solution to the heat-death of the universe. Compared to that, everything else is small potatoes.
Did they try notices on milkboxes: "Have you seen this H-bomb?"

Hey, in all sci-fi movies helmets always have lights--inside the helmets so they can light up your good side for the cameras.
Mmm, nothing better than that!
Oh. That's a problem to be avoided, is it? Right, important safety tip.
