I suppose anarchists are like canarys in coal mines: as long as you hear them twittering and flapping around in their self-imposed cages, freedom of speech is safe.
That is, unless, the only canaries shown to the other coal miners are the ones in airtight cages.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yes, that's the girl that invented this alarm clock. I think she got tired of the "natural" way of waking up that special someone.
Tony Blair was hacked by Bush's "intelligence on WMD". Who's your sys admin? Bush is just a script kiddie deploying zombie Rumsfeld bots that you should have been able to protect against. And you better beef up your firewallz cuz I hear there is a new W32.IranWar virus spreading along with an attempted Trojan.WolfowitzWorldBank penetration of your financial ports (courtesy s.k.Bush!). Get with it man, this is basic stuff!
If they implement this here, kiss your 2 way radio's good-bye. The radio interference those large powerlines give off when they are all jacked up with Broadband is nasty.
Although it's got the neat-o factor that no one has ever done it before, it's just sort of a demonstration of pointless goals. I mean, would everyone be that excited if the guy could fly around the world non-stop TWICE? No one would have done that before. THREE TIMES? Who cares!
It's a demonstration of an ability to do something that really isn't necessary. Did anyone ever doubt it could happen? Not really. Did anyone doubt we could go to space? Yes. Break the sound barrier? Yup. Go to the moon? No way!
But everyone was amazed when those obstacles were overcome and their World View changed when those goals were accomplished. Not this. It's just proof of concept that you can make a fuel efficient plane that can hold enough gas to complete the objective. Point A to point A.
I don't know if you saw my earlier post but this is why I'm not that impressed:
The guy sat on his "recliner like" chair for 67 hours and took frequent catnaps while auto pilot flew the plane. He drank sports drinks and milkshakes. Geeeezus, sounds like a typical 3 day weekend in these parts, only instead of "flying" a plane, I'm "controlling" the TV!
That's bullshit someone modded YOU with Flamebait, but HE was the one that called you an "Idiot". Sometimes these modders are fucking retarded.
Anyway, his analogy from planes to balloons is a false one. The goofball needs it to be pointed out to him that planes have slightly more vector control that a balloon? Besides, solar powered high altitude aircraft HAVE actually been considered cheaper alternatives to many communications/surveillance satellites. I agree with your points.

...that this is a totally stupid article. Those hamsters weren't doing anything!! They're just sniffing their asses and music is being played!?
Watch the video, judge for yourself. Honestly there is NO CORRELATION between what the hamsters are doing and the sounds coming out of the sequencer. This gets a big W.T.F.?
...and remember what our honorable and fierce leader, President George W. Bush once said: You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists.
Eloquent words. A diamond sparkle of wisdom...**needle drags across record** HEY!! Did that moron realize that he had just defined nearly 50% of the USA as terrorists? Less than half the country actually voted for him and so were "agaist him". No wonder his "approval" rating soared to 90% after he said that. Everyone was scared shitless that bastard would have us hog-tied and beaten silly with a fly swatter!
"...it's not like the votes were shipped off to Diebold headquarters to be counted in secret by their CEO."
Good point. It would be impossible to ship all those votes to Diebold HQ.
Unfortunatley, it would also be unnecessary. You see, there is this thing called "Computer Networking" where 2 or more computers can "link" together to virtually "ship" or "exchange data" over wires. All that would be required is for someone (not necessarily the CEO) to connect the vote counting servers to either a modem or an internet connection to gain access to the vote counts. United Parcel Service ("UPS") need NOT be involved!
Why am I telling you this? Surely you are connected to one of those computer networks in order to post to Slashdot.
Hey, waaaait a minute. Are you playing stupid with me!? Damn it! I always fall for these flamebaits. Hook, line, and sinker.
Your comment should be modded WAY up as informative.
The way I like to sum this whole argument up is like this:
The Bush Administration's criteria for standards of evidence concerning WMD were much lower than the standards of evidence are for UFOs.
If the Bush Administration gave the same weight to UFO evidence as they did evidence of WMD in Iraq, Bush's State of the Union address would have announced that UFOs are Extraterrestial Alien Lifeforms.
A former Corporate data gatherer of consumer information being appointed to "Data Privacy" Czar?
Why, that would be like appointing a Torture Advocate to Attorney General...oh wait...Alberto Gonazales
That would be iike appointing a person that misadvised a Nation to start a war that broke down International Relations to a postion that requires her to Strengthen International Relations...oh wait...Condeleeza Rice
That would be like having a former CEO of company that derives it's revenue from war be elected to a political office that can Strongly influence War Power making decisions...oh wait...Dick Cheney
To answer your question, no they aren't shitting you. They are shitting ON you. All of us, actually.

I will not RTFA.
I don't need to RTFA.
I already know this technology is bad with out RingTFA.
So, no, I will not RTFA.

Looks like those arms have fully embraced the entire planet now. *spooky*

Oh, wait, someone got a seed up and it's spreading rapidly...sweet.
I know this is offtopic, but I haven't seen any articles concerning this article: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/security/0,2000061744 ,39183346,00.htm
It's about tracking any computer anywhere by fingerprinting system clock variances in the TCP code. WTF? Isn't there a way around this?

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. But we will prevail; the truth is on our side.
