It's hard to believe that they left the doors unlocked in the twintower offices. And how a locked office would keep out airplanes entering from the windows...
Knockout gas could be interesting but wat if the terrorisrs have a device that requires an input every 5 minutes? But keep the ideas flowing.
It's only a few years from now that planes can fly unmanned or are controlled from the ground. Army-killers have unmanned spyplanes, so why not in a normal plane. Hmm. Those systems will probably be hacked too.
Yes, the "they should do something first" reaction. I could wait for that on. Sore. There is a lot to gain there, but it's all too easy to point fingers and do nothing.
When big westers companies are investing in asian countries they should also invest in filters and in the mean time we could start riding normal cars again in stead of hummers for doing shopping and take an example on the air industry which is trying to reduce energy consumption. Use energy efficient lamps, use virtual server technology and so on and so on.
It's just something to think about. Every little bit helpt.
The thing is not inly if "greenhouse gasses" affect the climate. It's also about outrageous and irresponsible use of resources. It's about pollution.
You don't pollute your own house, so stop polluting this world. Although I don't live in your house and couldn't care less about what you do there, I and about 6 billion people live in this world so let's keep it clean.
This is what happens when you give the big corporations what they want and pass laws that are there for the companies and not for the people. People that a government are supposed to protect / represent.
When I read your comment I was thinking of christian moralists and anti-abortion-fundamentalists who... well, they just want to force their moral on.... EVERYBODY.
This scares the hell out of me. If people are afraid of a coin, they must be plain paranoid and hell knows what that kind of prople are up to. I woulnd't be surprised if in, let's say 5 years, all tourists are tagged with a subdermal gps beacon "for their own security".
But.. the fact that I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after me...
Of course the parents don't have ANY responsibility over their children and definitely shouldn't be involved in what they do, so if a child goes somewhere to watch porn it for sure isn't time for a parent-child talk.
In this time if high-tech surveillance, wiretapping and information gathering, all in the good of... the people (?) 37 suicides is just a small price to pay for the security of our children.
AFAIK it was only one politician and believe me: the friends of the one who shot that politician even didn't expect him to do such a thing. So: how vague do the criteria have to be to get persons like him on a list and how many people would be on such a list as a result of that vague criteria.
You could be on that list for being a vegetarian. Or foreigner. Or Arabic, jew or black or whatever (gristian, white, poor)........
One day the 'specially designated nationals' will have to sit in the back of the bus.
My apologies to the people who I may offend now, but these measures are getting more and more ridiculous by the day (just like it was rediculious that people based on skin color had to sit in the back of the bus), and nobody is doing anything about it (yet).

I suggest metal bars in front of the windows.
Nice ideas :)

Needless to say they started with reading and implementing ideas from 1984. Including but not limited to the war in Eurmiddeleastia.

I hope they'll drive-by-spam eachother until their computers are fried.
1. If it's on the internet, it's true.
2. If it's NOT in the internet however, it doesn't exist.

AFAIK it's illegal to reproduce / publish images of money and i suppose the same goes for IDcards.
Funny. Why is it then that I hardly ever (read never) find any scientific papers about the latest Robby CD or Spidernam III???
That's called free enterprise. ;)
Everyboy knows that! Duh! C'mon.
If you vote with buggy software you'll get a buggy president.

don't you love it, when you but a DVD, you get all the bonus commercials you HAVE to see before you can start the movie?
you pay, you get added crap. you *cough* and you get the movie without crap.
interesting dilemma.
If that's the best they can do it is time to shop for magnets somewhere else because they clearly doen't work very well.
Why pay when others will pay for you....

Let's add them to the list aswell. After all it's their software that's being used to run the downloading software....
