Sure thing, we will ship immediately after your payment clears. Our account 129417 is with Zimbabwe Banking Corp/Bulawayo, SWIFT ZBCOZWHXBYO. $750 per slave, $2785 for the virgin. Do you have any preference for the gender? If not, we will ship all male.
What are you going to foreclose on when little Johnny goes into default on his $100,000 loan debt because he can't find a job? You going to foreclose on and resell his worthless degree?
The Greeks had temporary slavery for debts before S&P lowered their ratings.

The roentgen is a machine that uses roentgen rays to take pictures inside of your body. It is used above to describe a truck with equipment that does something similar.

Well, I don't presume who the targets are. Be that as it may, how many of those roentgen trucks are on the road really? I've seen the ads, but if spying was really effective and prevalent, wouldn't some info about the scale leak already?

It seems the primary application is the American military. Why do you think anyone in that camp cares about what will happen to the targets for the minute or two before they are shot from a nearby helicopter?
Doing anything else while driving is stupid and irresponsible, but people keep doing it. I don't drive all that much and I've seen people: texting, talking on the phone, fiddling with their navigation system, fumbling with stuff in the locker, receiving blowjobs, giving blowjobs, checking diapers, changing diapers, counting money, reloading a shotgun, shooting with a shotgun, choosing music, changing the car radio presets, sending shit from their iphones even. That is why the responsible measure against violators should be a preemptive Darwin award.
You surely remember the brouhaha that ensued a few years ago when one of those semi-serious online news outfits -- El Reg or The Inq I think -- assembled assembed and published a profile about one of the Google founders that included things like home address, money he made last year, etc. The guy was absolutely pissed and bitched about it for a long time, cut the outfit's access to press events and what not. I also recall Mark Suckerberg also having a fit about his private photos or whatever that someone leaked off his page -- that was maybe a year or so ago.
So it seems that managers are reacting pretty much like everyone else -- when something is making them money, they think it is good, and when the same thing affects them badly, they do the mental reconciliation arithmetic and jump at the messenger instead of the problem.
I agree, but even if you place yourself in the frame of mind the legal environment wants you to be and embrace patents, this kind of reporting is still pathetic, both by the lack of information it contains, and by the lack of analysis it provides. But "news" has to sell, and journalists apparently do their damned best to make it happen. And just maybe, the company that provided the journalist with the headline wants to sell a report or two.
I am tired of crystal ball seers, really. How about this angle: this week: "Baaah. Google's patent portfolio is weak". Next week: Google releases new service, patents cover every angle of it. Two weeks hence: "Baaah. Visionary. Baah".
Mr. Shatner, as an avid Star Wars fan I've grown a bit around the waist while following the films, the books, the merchanidse and now contributing to the various Star Wars wikies. So I have a question -- how do you manage your weight problem? I mean, without the credits I could not believe that the chubby lawyer was once behind the controls of a Death Star's holodock. Thanks.
Actually, does the information that is being published by the Wikileaks have any classification whatsoever? That information is owned and disseminated by Wikileaks and some newspapers. Wikileaks did restrict the distribution somewhat to gain profit and exposure, but what possible "classification" can they attach to it that would need to be followed by US government employees? Whatever classified information is there that needs to be kept classified is still owned and kept safe as per its classification labels by the US government, and has nothing to do with the Wikileaks stuff.
It seems pretty unreasonable and anti-democratic to me that ALL government employees should be restricted by a BLANKET order from discussing public knowledge. That's what I'd expect from the government of Communist China or the Soviet Union, where Western newspapers and magazines were banned, except for the selected few with access. Putting a brave face on it when it happens in the US doesn't mean it isn't Communism;)
Actually, there is a ton of things the government will attempt to do to try to get you, even if it is a puny, pariah, poor government. I was helping a few friends of mine who live in a country, where people who laugh at politicians are still beaten up, to publish some funny videos about their top politician. Since I also visit there occasionally, we took full precautions. Private VPN to a foreign country, rather unfriendly to the regime, chained proxies, then TOR, new email addresses and video upload accounts, different chained proxies to access each of those, etc.
Once the videos hit the tubes,some people got mightily pissed off, and started an official, but silent investigation. Imagine my surprise, when two of our e-mail accounts (free, with a large US-based web mail provider) that we used for the services were blocked, and login attempts redirected us to customer support barely a day into the operation. Since the investigation in these countries tends to leak like a sieve, we got info that that particular country was paying someone mid-level in customer support dept. to give them data on customers.
They hit the video upload sites with official requests and apparently tried to hack into one, obtained logs from the ISPs of all online forums that we used to advertise the videos to, had videos deleted and did other funny things. They persisted into this business for about 18 months until they decided to close it down.
Given this much effort about a few videos from a near-third world country, imagine what a really powerful government can do to you, and despair:)
Well, not all problems and costs are caused by radiation, but both my cousins, who remained in the area, developed thyroid problems that were officially attributed to the contamination. One of them has two chidren with birth defects, born a year and a half after the disaster. I'll spare you my story, but to deny the serious medical trouble in the area is rather cynical.

Yes, the NATO envoy has informed both Libyan governments.
Not if you live in Japan. You can use the plutonium from the sea urchins directly.

It is impressive they still manage to run Internet services then.
Because of the high melting point and extreme hardness of lead, I presume?
And if they target Wall st. executives with it, they may even get paying customer or two.

You can check if Avant-go is still around.

Then Communism.

You'll have to contact Hugo Boss. Ask for the Schutzstaffel catalog.
Why yes, I do, thank you for your snark.
