    Maybe. At what point would you start throwing them? When such atrocities are committed to your family? Your friends? Your neighbors? Your state? Your college alumni? Your toothpaste demographic? Where do allegiances lay first if not to humanity.

    My mobile phone already is on all the time. So are most of my computers.

    Graphene is going to turn out to be a 'before graphene/after graphene' landmark in history.

  3. Re:How should people help wikileaks? on Wikileaks Donations Account Shut Down · · Score: 1

    So somewhere after reporting it to his superiors there would have been a press conference where the Pentagon spokesman said something along the lines of 'Up through the chain of command we've received reports that we in fact DO keep a body count for collateral damage'. It is because this government is so secretive that these things need to be brought out another way. The people accepts the fact that secrecy is vital when it comes to wartime maneuvers. But when the people ask questions like 'how many civilians are dying in this collateral damage?' and the government replies 'We don't keep a body count' when in fact they clearly do - this secrecy is suspect and should be broken.

    Exactly FUD. I love the argument though, very looney toons. It's ok to kill innocent people left and right when you were aiming at 'the bad guys' ... but if you hypothetically threaten their lives with information then that's crossing the line!

    Maybe their just greedy, and don't want to share the civilian deaths with the enemy.

    It's his sworn duty to protect the constitution from all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC. He perceived a domestic threat against the constitution, it's up to the court to decide if it was valid or not.

    The prolific invetor and expert on website usability, ease-of-use and assured user performance sure does have a pretty website. In fact it's Todd Schmidts website, the third fish to gobble up this patent for money extortion. No where on his site, or the actual INVENTORs website do they use the 'technology'.

  9. Re:reverse global climate change on Alaska To Export Billions of Gallons of Water · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you were meaning to be funny or not but I really think there is something to that. The sun I can tag as a reusable energy source because the light that wasn't going to hit the earth can be harvested and at most we're blotting out a single star from another solar systems perspective. We're not effecting earth that way. But with wind I don't think we know enough about weather to say for certain that draining energy directly from our weather system will have no adverse effects on the earth.

  11. Re:Why on Spammers Using Soft Hyphen To Hide Malicious URLs · · Score: 1

    From Wikipedia:

    "Since it is difficult for a computer program to automatically make good decisions on when to hyphenate a word, the concept of a soft hyphen was introduced to allow manual specification of a place where a hyphenated break was allowed without forcing a line break in an inconvenient place if the text was later re-flowed."

    Exactly it's purpose. It's never supposed to be shown, only to give an the browser client an easy way to break the word for dynamic width.

    Yes technology always gets the bad rap. A hammer can be used to build a house for someone, or bash someones brains in. When it comes to newer technology people are fearful when they can't understand the tools as easily as a hammer. But it's the same premise, the tools can better humanity or be used to destroy it.

    I believe the US has a motive for allowing all regimes to track their people. I believe at the heart of most government in the world today is hatred against it's enemy the people.
