Great, first Martial Law in America for exercising 1st amendment rights, and now Death for simple theft in China. Thank God China and America aren't lovers, I would hate to see what inbred monstrosity they would bear.
I was just listening to Democracy Now! and they are in Seattle this week. They had some really good interviews with activists who touch on these points.
Anyways, realaudio, good listen, usually updated early afternoon on the site.

Seems like I recall some law or something that is supposed to keep people in the dark about comparative wages in an industry. Its some form of collusion if people actually 'talk' about what wages they make at x company compared to y company.
I always thought that was BS, so I'm thrilled to see it on/.
But does anyone know what I'm talking about? Its a vauge memory from something I read somewhere...
This sounds like rather cruel and I might add, crude, experimentation.
Most of the comments on this thread have reflected little if any care about the animals involved in this "research". Do the cats voluntarily keep their eyes open? Or are they forced? When they finish with the images, do they just trash 'em, or what?
Please, take the time to reflect on the difference between Silicon and Organic constructs, and the gishy, gooey, very real and sloppy feelings that the latter endures for our curiosity.
Ok, most of us are comp nerds with little knowledge of what the CIA actually does.
Well, I do. I have been a political activist almost as long as I have been a computer nerd. I've chatted with ex-CIA guys over beers, including a few that have left the 'Company' to renegade against them.
All I really have to say is, isn't this a wonderful chance for them to insert backdoors into every product hard and soft? Full access to all company data, schematics, code, and so on. It is a BAD idea to do business with the CIA (jezuz, they specialize in destabilizing other countries' goverments). I'm sure some slimey individuals and companies will do business with them, but I hope the marketplace shows that they have no place in the private sector, and they shrivel up and die.
I will boycott any product produced in conjunction with them, but I fear, what if they strike a deal with chip manufacturers or OS producers?
Does anyone know any way we can stop this? Is it legal for the govt. to start a private enterprise like this? They are unrestricted in the private sector...
Ok, I accept this. What do I have to pay some corporation to *NOT* be spied on. Unfortunately, I'm not a PAC so I can't buy off the Govt. too. Ahhh, the mafia to the left of me, the mafia to the right...
Federal Law requires employers to allow a 15 min break for every four hours of work. Therefore, smoking or writing personal email (only company policy could prevent this)is perfectly legal. So screw the company's profits for 1/2 hour a day. They will live. We are working more hours than the Japanese now, I remember back when I thought they were nuts for working so much!
Great, another example of how I wouldn't last in High School if I were there now. Hang in there son, and RUN FOR STUDENT OFFICE. They will ignore and persecute you, but at least you could represent your fellow students' opinions to those who don't care. P8c Bro. Oh and to the sysadmin for schools...:P - Paid Nazi.
Jeez, I don't even own a printer. What's the deal? It seems odd a company, whose sole products are digital, won't allow electronic petitioning. Assuming the/. effect is the result of individual s responding, what is the difference between that vote and a 33 cent vote? Are we not to be trusted to get off our butts and go buy the game? Screw you Westwood. Though I enjoyed the Commie 64 games:)
That's a little harsh. The man said vandalisim isn't the answer, and nothing about racisim. Besides, a burning SUV *is* sorta funny in the absurd context its given in. Also, what's the difference if it pollutes the atomosphere all at once or does it over a dozen years through its exhaust pipe... It still screws up the enviroment. SUV's suck and the people who drive them? You go figure. ---------- There are four types of people; cretins, idiots, morons, and lunatics.
Don't hold you breath for this in the US anytime soon. If you make it too easy to vote, people will! It still behooves too many candidates (and the Two Parties) to have low voter turn out. They know what the voting demographics are of an area and can target accordingly. This would screw up demographics entirely, especially if people could walk into any library with net access and vote. We should push harder for this here. I'm sure it would be feasible to have at least a test run (even if the results don't count) in 2000.
My first roomate right after high school would go down to the store and play Gauntlet for about 7-8 hours a shot (He always started with 2 quarters) and would regularly turn the machine over. It was pretty impressive. On other nostalgia notes, the first program I wrote from scratch was "Vic-Gauntlet" on the Vic-20 in basic in under 5k of ram. It actually worked ok, albeit slowly.

Well at least some of us don't hide behind an Anonymous Coward post while insulting others @sshole... Roger West.
Democracy kills too. We do have the Death Penalty inthe US.

Save us! Save us from ourselves!
We're so scared and helpless!
Eeek!
Thank you, thats what I read, the thing about doctors casually discussing fees over dinner and such and the legal implications. Peace

Hence, Curiosity Killed The Cat.
More seriously, this is ridiculous.
Also, the leagalese says all feedback becomes their property. I couldn't find a feedback link...
I even that through babblefish and still couldn't understand it.
Talk about out of context...
