Assange is famous for being difficult to find, hard to contact, and for disappearing for days or weeks at a time. The Swedish police were looking for him and couldn't find him. His lawyer has, in the past, not known where he is, etc. He is the PERFECT person to assassinate. Just grab him, tie some cinder blocks to his feet and drop him in the middle of the nearest ocean. Then pretend to be looking for him.
You forgot to mention the EPA, OSHA, FCC and other U.S. governmental agencies that have the power to pretty much the same thing, if they had the inclination.
But honestly, if it wasn't for IsoHunt, would you have really spent the $150 or just done without? You acquired them because they were free and easy. If you *had* to pay, odds are you would have either gotten fewer or none at all.
o still not practical for home roof top deployment. Most people will not want 800C )or anything close) on their roof tops even if it was light and portable.
Are you kidding? Add a couple of rotating mirrors and market it as a death ray. Rabbits getting into your garden? Neighbor's dog crapping on your lawn? Reflect that beam spot around and *poof*, no more problem!
Uh, there is a braille version of Playboy. Issues of Playboy printed in braille have been published by the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped since 1970.
These have been sold in kits for a few years now. Google "micro cell". You can uplink them to a voip gateway and plop down your own tower on the cheap. Popular for conferences and things like that.
The gov't doesn't have to crack the encryption, they're given a back door by the telcos. This is not only happening today, it has been happening for many years.
Google CALEA for one of the more recent incarnations.
That is really what we have. Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code gives the details. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p557/ch03.html
Remember that "Do you Yahoo?" commercial.
It turns out the answer is "No".
I take it you've never licensed an AS/400 (aka iSeries) box.
A Benny Hill skit is the first thing that pops to mind.
Theme music here, for those too young to remember. (URL:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6TXMsvgQg)
And some animals.
Just HAD to toss that bit in, didn't you? :-)
Ummm...no.

There might or might not be a $20 bill in my wallet; I won't know for certain until I look for it?
From this information I can infer you are married.
You've been thru a Sharepoint deployment, too?
You don't game much, do you?
Game sounds go thru speakers. VoIP (TeamSpeak or in-game) go thru headset. At night, when people are sleeping, both sets of sound go thru headset.
You forgot to mention the EPA, OSHA, FCC and other U.S. governmental agencies that have the power to pretty much the same thing, if they had the inclination.
Will you give something to the future, or will you just be another leech?
Does one hell of a mess to clean up and having them pick up the tab count?
Well, I guess I don't exist then.
I knew it! You're a bot, aren't you?
Grannies, fine. But no MILFs? Straight to jail-bait? What is WRONG with these people!? Oh, wait.
DHS has a cut-off age of 20? Damn picky, aren't they.

Here's the link on how to crack the DRM on the ePubs that Barnes and Nobel delivers their eBooks in, if you buy one.

Get with it, man!
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Go pro and enter the priesthood?

...but it still comes off as pretty stupid on a site filled with otherwise intelligent people.
I was with you until right there. Are you referring to Slashdot, or did I miss something? Honestly?
A corporation's only goal is to maximize profit
That just flat out is NOT true. I wish people would stop regurgitating that on slashdot.
Corporations can and do have other purposes and goals than just "enhancing shareholder value".
This is an excellent summation of what I'm talking about. PDF link.
The question is, would they tell us -- the general public -- if any of them were a real threat?
