I would really like to see Bush impeached. I think he's a dangerous man who has set back the American cause by decades, and I think the sooner he is removed from office the sooner we can start cleaning up his mess. Yet, at the same time, for all the cojones demonstrated by Colbert, that little "comedy" routine managed to make me feel sympathy for the discomfort of the President and First Lady.
I have to wonder how Colbert expected to interact with the First Family as he walked off the stage after a show like that. The only way to finish it would be to say, as you were shaking hands with the President, "I'm sorry, Mr. President, but I really think you've done us all a huge disservice and you should resign immediately. I really do."
The Fourth Amendment restricts unreasonable search and seizure. I'm pretty sure that no one is seriously asserting the Constitution provides for a right to privacy... no matter how much we wish it might. Had Citibank et al not bid up the price of Congresspeople, we might be able to afford one too and get some privacy legislation passed, but right now the price of a current-model-year Congressman is out of reach of the average citizen.
I'm thinking it was in Between Planets that the blueprints for a secret weapon were encoded on a microwire embedded in some ring. It's only been about thirty years since I read this, though, so someone else can tell me which story that was really in.
On the TheDallas page the article refers to, they have a link to a Yahoo Maps map of the area. I'm fairly certain they meant to link to Google Maps instead.
The way I.T. pays, it is the side job. My main gig is cleaning septic tanks, grease traps, and medical waste recepticals; they haven't figured out how to outsource these to Bangalore yet. After hours, I maintain a realtime embedded operating system for interplanetary probes, which allows me a little extra cash.

Says Joy in the interview:
The Internet is an ecology, so if you build a species on it that is vulnerable to a certain pathogen, it can very well undergo extinction. By the way, the species that go extinct tend to have limited genetic diversity.
Are you implying that Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to extinction precisely because it is so dominant?
I wasn't thinking of any particular piece of software, but if you're running a monoculture of software--duh, this is not good.

What is web harvesting, what is an open proxy, and how does an open proxy relate to web harvesting? Noobs want to know.
