  6. "What is more American than apple pie?" on Google Trends vs. Community Standards On Obscenity · · Score: 5, Informative

    Group sex and orgies apparently. (From the courtcase)

    "We tried to come up with comparison search terms that would embody typical American values," Mr. Walters said. "What is more American than apple pie?" But according to the search service, he said, "people are at least as interested in group sex and orgies as they are in apple pie."

    Chris Hansen, a staff lawyer for the national office of the American Civil Liberties Union, called the tactic clever and novel, but said it underscored the power of the Internet to reveal personal preferences -- something that raises concerns about the collection of personal information.

    "That's why a lot of people are nervous about Google or Yahoo having all this data," he said.

  13. Re:War is fun! on Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual · · Score: 1

    I mostly agree with most of your comment, but the best weapons possible is somewhat dependant upon your role on the battlefield, don't you think?
    ( I'm thinking civilians vs clusterbombs, imprisoned Japanese pacifists in Hiroshoma etc.)

    The immorality of war comes when politicians declare war based on willfull lies.
    And once it gets out it will turn into a morale problem. That's the beginning of the end
    for most military ventures. If the troops ain't having it, and the folks back home have had it, weak military leaders will fail, and the strong will march on Rome.

    FYI Machiavelli's "Il Principe" is translated as "The Ruler", not as "The Prince".
    A recommended read, as is the "Art of War".
    If you like this kind of data I recommend von Clausewitz's "Principles of War" as well,
    and Theodor Plevier's trilogy "Moskou","Stalingrad","Berlin" for a GI's perspective on war.

    from their website http://www.robob.nl/

    Robob is a robot that can be controlled trough the internet. By logging in, Robob becomes your physical avatar. Robob can be disguised as anything: a puppet on a bar chair or a hitchhiking Furby.

    Robob is a telepresence project. It works by adding speech and recognizable humanoid features to a webcam. By optimizing the web interface it becomes possible to put your soul in Robob. You are Robob.

Everybody will be able to make a personal Robob with an old computer. All Robobs will be available though one portal.
