I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine.
I believe you meant to say "I did up until posting this the very highest security clearances"
actually having read you post again.. I may have misread part of it
however not widthstanding the idea that the Gov should blanketly mine phone calls based on speaking Arabic or saying mohammed...etc is still a violation of the 4th Amendment
if the gov is suspicous of some person they already have ample options to obtain wire tap/ warrants there is no need for blanket unlawful wiretaps. The idea that speaking Arabic is in and of itself "suspicous" is offensive... I speak german...(to some degree) if I call my relatives in Germany and tell them about my job and goings on in German is that somehow suspicious????
K, let's say the gov't wants to hook a computer up to a telephone exchange to monitor all trafic for works like "Mohamed", "Jihad", "Osama", or maybe even anyone speaking Farsi or Arabic and begins taping when it picks up one of any number of suspect words.
so you are suggesting that a new type of crime....called "being Muslim whilst in the United States of America" should be created??
I do believe I rest my case.... READ THE FUCKING US Constitution.... This OMG TERRORISTS BULLSHIT PISSES ME OFF, American citizens have rights granted to them to protect them from the over reactions of the State, I for one am glad for that.
there are numerous and not all that especially hard to obtain avenues to getting a warrant if someone is suspected of being involved in terrorist activities. The idea the we have to surrender our rights under the 4th Amendment to fears of terror...is offensive and wrong.
while attempting to serve a cease and desist letter to a pod of orcas
this is such bullshit.. as many people have mentioned line6 was using the term POD in their product lineup well before apple realized other companies were making MP3 players and then decided to make one and pretent that they had pretty much invented the whole idea of the mp3 player.
but then to insinuate they work at best buy..that is simply to much.
I was worried those new apple ads were making PC users look bad, but luckily you have come to the rescue proving once again we windows folks are sophisticated and classy.
nobody may have ever been fired for buying microsoft product
but nobody has ever been modded down for flaming Microsoft on slashdot
for fuck sake people have been bitching at m$ to secure the kernel better in future windows versions now they do and they are locking out the competition. If I was m$ i'd be really bummed out by this until I looked around and saw my huge piles of money laying around all over the place then I would be feeling ok again.
assuming someone broke the encryption they would just wind up at m0n0walls captive portal page
but turning off the encryption and sending unauthorized users to kittenwar could be fun??? I guess?
I would leave the wifi open (albeit firewalled off from my wired LAN) but I do not want some douche downloading/uploading child pr0n on my residential internet account.... so no open nodes here.
that mr gates apparently had to be convinced (with some difficulty) that using charter planes would be more productive than taking commercial flights.

no new business for jiffylube... tubes will be Life of System component (from the Patent)
[0031] The lubricant reservoir 60 may deliver fixed vapor pressure of the saturant into the environment. One embodiment uses a nanoporous material which contains significant porosity and is composed of a non-reactive material. For example, the nanoporous material may comprise carbon nanotubes 70, as illustrated in FIG. 4. Typical dimensions for each nanotube 70 are from about 0.1 to about 10 nm in diameter D and from about 1 to about 50 nm long L. As a particular example, each nanotube 70 can be about 0.7 nm in diameter and about 10 nm long. The number of nanotubes 70 provided in the reservoir 60 may be selected in order to contain a sufficient amount of lubricant for supply to the recording media during the lifetime of the system, e.g., a minimum of at least 5 or 10 years. For example, several hundred thousand or several million nanotubes may be used.
and oh yeah so after whatever date 5 10 yrs (whatever they decided to supply the tubes for the drive will be done it appears.
talked to a very nice older lady... she was having no luck getting her new phone programmed...
she had talked to someone else before and got fustrated and called back
so i tried to walk her thru programming the phone.... which wasn't working at all again.
she kept saying she wasn't hearing any of the system announcements.... etc on the phone.
finally about to give up and figure she had a DOA phone, I asked her to locate the model number... when she said it was an RCA...... it struck me... she was trying to program the remote control for her TV instead of the Phone which was sitting on the table next to her.
certainly to be fair the USA did invent the internet, and has been gracious enough to share it with the rest of the world.
the desire for the U.S. to retain oversight of DNS/IP space issues is understandable.
the danger that in trying to maintain the status quo, the EU or Chinese...etc get pissed and split off and set up their own DNS/IPspace... fragmenting the internet in to multiple seperate networks.... which i doubt anyone really wants...
as I recall a few months ago the USA was pretty insistant that control over DNS was going to remain as it was. Now they are seemingly looking for broad input...maybe a sign that they are willing to compromise to ensure that the nightmare scenario of fragmentation does not occur?
i'm not at all trying to bait y'all mac people...
