If you've gotten to the point where you're really worried about being caught and persecuted, perhaps the internet is not your safest bet, due to every reason being posted here, ie: keyloggers, etc. As much as you'd like to change your world, the "system" isn't going to make things easy for you to overthrow it. And the internet is very much a part of the "system." Unless you're ready to string up your own network and create a rebellion intranet, you're out of luck.
Just do what they do on the Sopranos: keep it low tech, use payphones, meet in person. If your cause it that important and you need to spread information, may I suggest a major leaflet campaign?
I have no problem wrapping my mind around the physics and technology behind Star Trek. Because, given enough time, most of what it features could be realized. It's science fiction, but not for long.
The only thing unbelievable about Star Trek, and which requires a huge leap of faith, is that humans got their shit together in less than a hundred years (between Cochran's warp engine and Rick Berman's Enterprise) and began cooperating with one another. Moreover, they don't even need money and all seem to work together for a common cause. To me, that is the real fiction of Star Trek.
There are books and dissertations up the wazoo on the physics and technology, but I've yet to see an explanation as to how humans get along so well with one another.
And just to fan the flames...that's why Star Wars is better:)
And since I had Firefox load the site in the background, I had no idea how much stuff I missed while doing other things. Clicking the link at the end of the presentation to return to the introduction returns a page not found error. Way to alienate the people most likely to read your article, Forbes. Please stick to business news.
I was not clear...the domestic partnership bit would be the economic arrangement. The religious or spiritual ceremony would be for all the mushy stuff.
That would be fabulous! IMO, "marriage" should be reserved to a relgious ceremony to those that want it. But for the purposes of sharing assets, health insurance, 5th Amendment protections, etc., there should be some sort of "Domestic General Partnership" statutes. Everyone gets to use the standard partnership agreement for garden variety couplings. The "pre-nup" would be obsolete since those provisions could simply get added as amendments to the standard partnership agreement.
As a heterosexual male currently engaged, I would jump at such an opportunity. I say let's take marriage back to its roots...an economic arrangement.
*All* I'm going to say on this matter is that you should buy a Pepsi product with some Star Wars advertising on it and look closely. Trust me, you'll understand what I mean.

"As you can tell, it worked."
That, or you're a zombie.
It doesn't have to say that John Smith voted for Candidate XYZ. It just has to keep a tally, like older voting machines have done for decades.
Hey! I just caught a yellow, 6-foot blue-tipped CAT5 of the Belkin variety! Time for lunch!

Simple. Get Clay Aiken as the spokesperson:
"Hey, after repeated exposure to the new betavoltaic battery on the Lenovo Thinkpad, you'll be able to sing just like me!"

If I could do that, I wouldn't be wasting my time on /.
We're about 75% water, so their young friend provided more than just a good meal.
They don't look like they could carry too much, as their nut sacks aren't big enough.
"I believe this is called an "angel" in the business world. My question is "what's their interest?". I don't think this is a bad thing, just curious."
Let's not take any chances on this, OK? Launch Evas!
"...They'll wonder why www.vatican.ca..."
Well, that explains why the new pope kept on saying, "eh" during his coronation.
"Internet journalism"...feh. Now excuse me while I get back to reading the latest New Republic.
Even though there is nothing in distilled water, it still costs more because it is a valued added product. You're paying for the distillation process.

Ever heard of "Closer" where she plays a stripper? They cut out the good scenes for the final cut, but you can get them on the net.
My point was that copyright infringement is already illegal, regardless of what's in a EULA.
"Is there even such a thing as "counterfeit" Windows?
All I've ever seen is illegal copies of the real Windows OS."
Tom-AY-toh

The terms of the EULA don't even come into play in this issue. This is a simple matter of copyright infringement.
Pffft, yeah, but it won't be as fun now that Lynndie's been transferred.
OK, go look at one then the next time you're out and about :)

The new ending of ROTJ on DVD has them.
I'm going offtopic here, but I like your sig. We *reallY* need a "spam" moderation tag around here to finally get rid of those free i* trolls.
