1. Read something short but interesting, for example the book "What is your dangerous idea?" has ideas in a few short pages that will make you start thinking.
2. Watch something from HOPE, TED, a short Google Talk etc
3. Search Sourceforge for a project that does something similar to the code you are working on, look at the code and think how it is similar and different from what you are working on.
The US has supported terrorists in many countries, the IRA raised funds in the US for 30 years without being stopped, primarily through NORAID, and IRA terrorists used to be part of the New York St. Patricks Day parade until after 9/11, the US has even given political asylum to convicted IRA terrorists, in most of the world USA == terrorist, I think for the most part Americans have no idea how many billions of people all around the world thought that 9/11 was just a bit of payback for decades of US terrorism.
He didnt do it, for those who havent been following-
1. Ft. Detrick doesnt have the weaponization capability.
2. Illegal (i.e. violates the Biological Weapons Convention) U.S. offensive anthrax weaponization is run out of Battelle Memorial Institute under Project Jefferson under the DIA.
3. The Anthrax letters were a copy of the CIA operation that used anthrax substitute in their tests.
4. The DIA comes under the DoD, the CIA under the White House, the only place those two mandates meet is at the pleasure of POTUS, like they said about Saddam, he killed his own people.
Dr. Who: Ah of course, it must have been Yoda, I remember he said something about the light side and the dark side and binding the universe together, I always wondered what he was on about. Dawkins: Yes and if you put it over the Watchmakers eyes you can effectively blind him!
Cayman Islands would be better, make Google a bank there and users account holders (with a zero balance of course) and all the data would be covered by the Caymans banking laws, any snooping would get the perp extradited and charged with breaking the bank secrecy laws.
Actually it does give them a reason to detain anyone that gets off at Finsbury Park regularly as there is a Mosque there that the government doesnt like, of course any serious Jihadi is going to get off at Turnpike Lane and walk so as not to arouse suspicion.
You obviously havent read the Tyrannical Depots Handbook, the entire first chapter is devoted to the idea that in order to run such a regime you have to monitor and criminalise everyone not part of your regime, chapter two deals with how to intimidate, scare, cow and slaughter these newly criminalised people. I can't find an Amazon link right now but if you want to get the general jist of things I suggest Kafkas The Trial, Orwells 1984, and the transcripts to the Nuremberg Tribunal as good starting points.
That page isnt 404, I just accessed it, must be your connection, you can get the same page on googles cache here SciTE should do the syntax highlighting for you, I don't know about other editors.
Search would be nice, that would involve either a keyboard or handwriting recognition, which most readers do not have, the Iliad does have a stylus and you can write notes, but there is no recognition unfortunately, you can set bookmarks on the Sony and it will skip to bookmarks in PDFs. As an aside the books I have read have all been those that you start at he beginning and finish at the end rather than those you just dip in and out of for reference.
I bought a Sony Reader here are the bullet points-
1. Great to have hundreds of books at the press of a button. 2. Easily navigatable. 3. The 6 inch screen is a bit too small for reading technical pdfs (long equations, detailed graphs etc) even in landscape, if you really have to have that you want an Irex Iliad $650 (£468 in the UK) 4. Can be read in direct sunlight, great for beach reading. 5. Contrast is not fantastic, reading black on light grey not white, there is a tool on MobileRead called RasterFarian that helps with pdfs, but I've found the best solution to copy the text of pdfs out of Adobe Reader into Open Office Reader, reformat the page to 9cm x 12 cm and change the font to Arial Black 11 or 12, the formating might be a bit messy but I can read it low light conditions easily and it only takes about a minute to convert a whole book. 6. Overall I'm glad I got the Reader, if the Iliad was cheaper or I could have expensed one I would have prefered it for technical pdfs.
Who's the idiot here, the one pointing out that all the real threats are ignored while someone works out new ways to defend against threats that havent ever happened? This is the biggest problem with America, it's Enronisation, create wonderful sounding ideas while ignoring and hiding the real problems that eventually blow up, metaphorically in Enrons case, or literally in this one. To summerise, building a better mousetrap is not much use when dealing with stampeding elephants.
Given US debt, it'll be hyper-inflation, with the USD no longer being the worlds reserve currency, so think 1930s Germany in about 2-5 years, you'll be trading your McMansion for a Big Mac over in Europe, buh bye America, it was nice knowing ya!

Jim Rickards today on the Keiser Report regarding Currency Wars which he literally wrote the book on-

If anyone is in any doubt how bad things are start reading zerohedge.org it's the Slashdot of finance.
A few things that have helped me-
1. Read something short but interesting, for example the book "What is your dangerous idea?" has ideas in a few short pages that will make you start thinking.
2. Watch something from HOPE, TED, a short Google Talk etc
3. Search Sourceforge for a project that does something similar to the code you are working on, look at the code and think how it is similar and different from what you are working on.

A child molesting terrorist.
How do you know he's Catholic?

Don't worry about the NSA there's no information in those RST packets that will get you in trouble.
Actually the basic idea of a Chimera was in the first two episodes of season 3 of ReGenesis.

Can you imagine that? 30,000 FTP connections to download the patch, what a bandwidth hog, he should be banned from teh Internets! /sarcasm
But they can put you under house arrest and detain you for 28 days without trial, or send you to the US to be tortured at Gitmo or be the subject of extraordinary rendition.

I would suggest all Americans now get a Cryptophone and use PGP as standard.

No need to target a VM, use PERL as the man says Using Inline in Perl

You left out Chicken Tikka Masala...
If you're going to Godwin the thread I might as well add a couple of pics of Nazi book burning-

Isnt that what the planners made sidewalks are for?
It doesnt address the biggest threats -
1. MANPAD attack on a plane from outside the airport.
2. Suicide bomber in a nice big truck full of explosives running into the terminal.
3. Suicide bomber with implanted bomb blowing up a plane.
So it is solving the wrong problem, it's like solving the occupation of Iraq by escalating the troop numbers.
