I've placed a couple of dead drops here in Seattle (the gum wall @ Pike Place Market & the Fremont Bridge) but both are long gone. Looks like it's an idea whose time has come. Time to plant some more all over town...

Is there a question in there about something specific or are you throwing pasta against the wall to see what sticks? Take AES for example. A pretty open selection process evaluating a number of known ciphers among many smart eyes. Are you saying No Such Agency pulled a fast one in broad daylight in front of multitudes or is your line of question non-specific and open ended?
No, Monsanto isn't real popular here in WA state and yes many of us would like GM food labeled as such. Something other than the leading "8" in the PLU (price look up) number on the sticker [ JetCityOrange.com/plu-code/ ] I for one was one of many in the Seattle Monsanto march and as you can see in this video [ http://youtu.be/USSIqQBca4c ], we aren't talking about black-clad, window breaking, pseudo-anarchist kids raising hell. No, the crowd was full of families and regular folks who realize that there's no "do over" when it comes to f*cking with genetics. You screw it up, and you can't reel it back in.
Drones? Are you fucking kidding me! Didn't the SPD learn anything from the WTO Battle in Seattle or #OccupySeattle? Obviously not.
That's OK. I have a 270 degree view from my rooftop here in N Admiral. I can see all of downtown. One question: How long before folks start aiming for them...
Don't worry Diaz; I don't own a gun.
OP,
You may want to try white noise (www.JetCityOrange.com/white-noise/), pink noise (www.JetCityOrange.com/pink-noise/), and (my favorite) brown noise (www.JetCityOrange.com/brown-noise/) as well as things like waterfalls, surf, hail storms, etc.
Then again, you may wanna just move to a quiet street. I grew up on a main drag with 4 lanes of traffic and a light rail down the middle a block and a half from the police & fire stations. Guess what? As an adult I *insist* on quiet neighborhoods. I've lived next door to 2 cemeteries. Best neighbors I ever had.

Are you freakin' kidding me? #Occupy wouldn't be the same without Facebook. Now Google+, that's another story. I mean who wants to occupy a ghost town?
This my friends is why we take video & photos of the police. Shine a little sunshine on them. Tip the balance in *our* favor. Prevent them from working unseen and unchallenged. http://www.jetcityorange.com/OccupyYourCamera/
Hats off to the venerable Steve Gibson for an excellent teaching aid. If nothing else he presents an interactive tool that begins to highlight how stoopid your pet's name, spouse's birthday, or favorite song title is. For most folks, current company excepted, trying to explain how to measure number space for a given password length & character set is a useless exercise.
That said, the Password Haystack motivated me to harden my passwords. 1.65 hundred centuries using a Massive Cracking Array Scenario works for me.
Can you say "Bluffdale 84065"?
"Zonkdogfology" is a GooglePig. That is zonkdogfology is a Google probe, designed to plumb the depths of the plumbing and report back its results. Just like the pigs used in pipelines. You know, the real world pipes.
Change begins with the individual. I own a small software company and we tithe ourselves. Like most geeks we have too much h/w and s/w. Part of our give back is recycling perfectly useable technology to others like the Tibetan Technology Center. In addition to cold hard cash, we've sent them our "extra" 802.11g routers, adaptors, and antennas. We learned of this project on wired.com (or was it/.?). As long as we're going to pay Speakeasy for hosting and several DSL lines, why not piggyback DSL for two senior housing communities here in Seattle trying to jumpstart connectivity for their residents? My point is that even small organizations and even focused individuals can have a relatively large impact.
By linking to some of the organizations we support we've set an example for others. Discussions have been sparked and one company stepped to the plate and offer to write code pro bono for the Tibetan Technology Center. Charity spreads. Having been introduced to Outside the Dream, my two sons and are starting a grassroots effort to help them.
The modest amount of citizen involvement I've done over the years has taught me that not all good comes from the Fortune 1000 and their related charitable arms. Look in the mirror. The revolution begins with me.

I can' hear it and I'm 54. My kids can, and laugh at me. For completely different reasons I suspect.
I'm the owner of a 14 yr old software co. whose first products were written in Visual Basic and HyperCard. I grew up with BASIC in the 60's, had a Timex-Sinclair with built-in BASIC, ate up MS-BASIC, and thought VB and HyperCard (though not ToolBook or SuperCard) were the bomb.
Then my product's needs and the market's expectations outgrew what VB or HyperCard could reasonably deliver. But I was too busy running a company to learn C/C++. So I had to hire engineering talent. Talent that needed to write in something *other* than a BASIC dialect. From that point on, my code writing days were over.
Perhaps the background question you need to answer, for yourself and the/. community at large, is whether da boss is fluent in something other than BASIC? If not, there's the answer to your question. Perhaps he needs to continue using VB to justify his existence. Just a thought...
Evil digits? Mark of the beast? Book of Revelation? Read this. Don't get me started.
All said and done, I've been in the field for 15 years and I still love those funny glyphs. They are absolutely everywhere and most people never see them.
The Battery Question is really several rolled into one. I have three kids who between them have a small arsenal of Gameboy Advances, CD players, boom boxes, MP3 players, et al. They go through batteries like a hot knife through butter.
I on the other hand have basically one device that uses batteries: my Olympus C-5050Z digital camera. And unlike some who may pull their camera out for vacations, birthday parties, and the occasional group shot, I use my almost every day. I've exhibited my photographs, maintain two photo blogs (jetcityorange.blogspot.com & www.jetcityorange.com/photos), and see every problem as a photo waiting to be taken.
I also shoot multiple pictures in relatively quick succession. Charging the CCD and writing to the SmartMedia card is hard on batteries. I've found that Olympus' NiCads are great if expensive and un-recharagable. My first choice are Duracell Ultra's. Why? Cuz when I first starting shooting a digital camera 4 or 5 years ago (I'm on my 4th) I stumbled across a battery recharger that claims to "freshen" (their term) standard batteries. And it does! Not only do I get up to 5 cycles in my camera, my kids can get 2 or sometimes 3 in their Gameboys and CD players, which seem to be less demanding of batteries.

I agree, especially in light of Ray Bradbury's passing this week. Either 451 or 1984.

No, people CAN be barcoded. In fact, I've built a gallery of barcode tattoos.
I'll confess that I own a barcode software company, which I guess makes me Satan's Little Helper. But I sure don't have no stinkin' barcode tat on me!
Recently I've starting writing on things like consumer auto ID, bar codes & privacy, and other tangetal topics. With more to come.
