YouTube banned such videos just because well...um...yeah...no reason what-so-ever. Balloon videos are next on the random banning list.
OR
Because they've received political pressure to do so from the U.K. government?

You analogy is like arguing a government hasn't banned books. Publishers have just ceased publishing those sorts of books because the government has expressed it's displeased with such books.
"neocon" or new conservative, is a reference to the Democrats and social liberals who were fiscal conservatives and voted for Reagan. People commonly mis-use the term as some "extreme right" derogatory term. Actually, neocons are much closer to liberals than the extreme right.
A neo-con would be someone who wanted reduced taxes, smaller government, but might be pro-choice, for homosexual marriage, etc.

"As I understand it, one of the aims of the neoconservative movement is to bankrupt the government, paying out to neocon interests in the process. When the government hurts enough, they will go to the corporations to help them and thereby be indebted to the corporations (ultimately fascism)."
Funny, cause most conservatives feel the same about the socialists. They believe that the government is going to take over all the commercial interests, bankrupt the nation to devalue individual savings. Then limit personal freedoms and become a fascist socialist country.
Guess what, we may both be right. Note, the government has taken over almost all the major investment banks. They also now have final title to the homes of most Americans. The Democrats have even talked about nationalizing the oil business. So it looks like conservatives are pretty right on that one. You're quite right about our nation headed toward bankruptcy. And I think many conservatives will agree with you that we're on the slow path toward fascism.
Where I think the real issue lies is in the fact that you and I are debating whether it's liberals or conservatives who want this. In fact, neither want it. But the powers that be, either thru sheer incompetence or intended due diligence is leading us there.

You need to get off the BushCo rocker. If you think this is all Bush's fault. You are foolishly mistaken. This process has been going on for decades. It went on in Clinton's term with the stock bubble, then Bush's with the reality bubble. And the real issue at hand is a dollar that is in decline.
That is only because 1% of the population is responsible for 99% of the crime.
When a criminal can have 15 pages on their rap sheet, including 13 incidents of illegal possession of firearm. But still be loose on the streets - something is wrong.
Seems like the only time they lock up a criminal is when in the case of the above mentioned individual; they kill a cop.
We warned you....if you lost your right to bear arms and defend yourself. You'd lose your rights to free speech next.
Don't say we didn't tell you so... (Sadly, your example is not proof enough to liberal Americans who would gladly accept the elimination of both the First and Second Amendments if it meant getting Rush Limbaugh off the air. )
Not necessarily. She could have been making a request as a citizen of a Alaskan government official.
For instance, say you were getting a building permit that required environmental zoning and you had to send supporting documents.
Should she use her governor's email (which would be a violation) or contact that person via a personal account. Clearly the latter...
That said, if Anonymous wanted to prove to me their point. They'd break into Biden and Obama's emails. Guarantee you there would be the same sort of stuff. Only one that would come clean would be McCain (that's cause email scares him so he doesn't use it).
Troopergate? The fact that IMHO and the opinion of most people with common sense. Sarah Palin had every right to question why a state trooper who has driving drunk in a patrol car, tazered her nephew and threatened to murder her father is still working for the state police dept.
Or the fact that the guy who didn't fire her later got fired. Why? Because he kept going around the governor's back seeking additional funds. The fact that he is an at will hire, means she could fire him at anytime. We won't even mention that the guy she fired also has a questionable past (dislocating his wife's shoulder and threatening her with a firearm).
No...these facts are not considered, nor even reported. Because that would not be beneficial to the Obama cause!!!!!
No, it's more of the fact that they have view points that are different than Sarah Palins. And therefore targeted here.
If they really were trying to prove corruption they'd have surely hacked the other candidates as well. Especially McCain and Biden who have been in Congress long enough to have a thousand times what either Palin or Obama would have.

We should place in front of the ISS a thin, strong lightweight netting.
It could have a number of mass objects (weights) with thrusters to keep them apart. The net would span a few miles catching large debris. Clearing the path for the ISS.
When full, the netting would be closed. And towed to a lower orbit. And eventually burn up in the atmosphere.
That I was willing to relinquish this domain as I was pretty much just using it for personal stuff.
And that I wasn't looking to rip anyone off, but would need some compensation for my having to migrate everything along with the loss of links to that domain, and any work entailed.
And told them to make what they believed to be a fair offer. They offered $500 and as I was pretty much retiring the domain for the most part. I felt it was fair and charging much more would be dishonest. So I accepted.
For example, I much prefer online applications for things like banking or managing my Netflix queue. I don't always have my desktop with me. Nor do I want to install software on every machine, and on some occasions a user may not have the necessary access to install software.
Hate to bust your bubble, but web enabled applications are here to stay. Though I think breaking out of the browser may not be a bad idea. I think we'll see more web enabled desktop apps, more browser apps. And hybrids like Adobe AIR apps.

Computers by the way were never meant for applications. They were meant for calculations. Just happened to be some intelligent person decided they could do more than just calculations.
Computers were meant for business and military use. They were never intended to be personal.
Computers never meant to run graphics and to do 3D imagery.

Can we have a much more stupid comment than that....lastly, people want applications that can communicate and work on the web. Therefore, the web is meant for applications.
I'm sorry if you're locked into desktop development and fail to realize that we're moving to a mobile computing environment. But you better get with the program.
I haven't owned a desktop in nearly 6 yrs. I wager in 20 yrs I won't even own a laptop anymore. Just a mobile computer device like a iPhone on steroids. And if I need extra processing I'll tap into a cloud.

He's a politician!!!! Just like all the rest.
Decide on the views:
If you're for gun-control, pro-choice, social programs, expanded government control and regulation of personal life and business. VOTE FOR OBAMA.
If you're pro-gun, pro-life, pro-fiscal conservative, pro-limited government - DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA.
If you want an honest Congressman, it's probably not going to happen until we stop electing them and start drafting people to the position.

"It is possible that the other three politicians are in fact not hiding anything."
Nope...
But McCain does benefit from being so techno-phobic as to not use email.
"It is also possible that the other three simply selected better passwords and we'll hear about their emails in a couple weeks"
Biden maybe, Obama most likely.
Not necessarily. She could have been making a request as a citizen of a Alaskan government official.

What issues?
Troopergate? The fact that IMHO and the opinion of most people with common sense. Sarah Palin had every right to question why a state trooper who has driving drunk in a patrol car, tazered her nephew and threatened to murder her father is still working for the state police dept.
Or the fact that the guy who didn't fire her later got fired. Why? Because he kept going around the governor's back seeking additional funds.

What my Pocket PC mobile phone has been able to do for years?
Um...excuse, but can someone please explain what the heck I am missing on this one?
Great...and as the government takes over more and more business' we'll eventually not be able to talk about anything regarding the government.
Frankly, I believe an elected official should be allowed to talk about anything an common citizen could talk about.
That said, I don't think they should be able to negotiate deals, etc.
That's exactly what many conservatives are hoping...
Unless of course, she was contacting them NOT as governor but as a citizen.
Just a thought...
No, it's more of the fact that they have view points that are different than Sarah Palins. And therefore targeted here.
If they really were trying to prove corruption they'd have surely hacked the other candidates as well. Especially McCain and Biden who have been in Congress long enough to have a thousand times what either Palin or Obama would have.
Betcha... *lol*
Well, my inclination was that the vast majority of "debris" is non-accelerated and in a declining orbit.
So I figure a screen covering the front and upward arcs would catch most threats.
That said...
We really do not have a light enough, strong enough material at this time for such a system.
But I still think the ISS would benefit from an umbrella.
Well...
Cost is irrelevant, Congress just prints more money anyways.
Weight...that is by far much more an issue. Especially as in a few years we will not even be capable of launching a 200lb man into space.
Hmm...
The really best solution. Is to bring a small asteroid and place it in orbit. It'll clear up debris.
Be afraid, be very afraid....

"In what could possibly be a major blow to a scientific consensus"
I thought once there was a scientific consensus the matter was settled? So does this mean global warming might not be so smart after all?
BTW, I am NOT a TROLL...
I AM A DWARF!
Well, we can agree to disagree.
For example, I much prefer online applications for things like banking or managing my Netflix queue. I don't always have my desktop with me. Nor do I want to install software on every machine, and on some occasions a user may not have the necessary access to install software.

And if you've only used sites featuring those technologies as ads. You really need to browse the web a bit more.
Or get out there and try using some web applications that don't feature JavaScript, Flash, etc.
They suck, they're slow, they're a pain in the but to use. Requiring 10 steps and page reloads for what could be a single page load.
