Do excuse me for my improper choice of words. Please substitute "riot" with "peaceful demostration where a couple stores got trashed and a couple police and members of the general public got their heads bashed in, while the peaceful protesters were being peacefully rounded up by means of truncheons, riot shields and mustard gas."
Walk a city block in Sidney. How long is it? If you can keep rioters from organizing effectively inside a circle which covers one major road intersection in every direction from your motorcade, you win, without causing too much disruption. How are they supposed to re-deploy to follow you if spotters can't report the direction you're taking?
Security theater at its very best, folks... Only there may be an ulterior motive here. The Seattle WTO riots were co-ordinated via cellphone. Someone has taken the lesson to heart. Oh well, it's back to walkie-talkies for the concerned activists.
Sometimes I swear fortume has a mind of its own. Look what I got on the bottom of the page:
"Look! There! Evil!.. pure and simple, total evil from the Eighth Dimension!" -- Buckaroo Banzai
You know, this is what has made the show enjoyable for me... Thinking of Adama and the president as walking around with this suspicion in their heads, but not daring tell anyone (including each other)... High drama indeed.
Err... I, for one, welcome our new spybot overlords, with open arms, day-old underwear and a big, big smile on my face. I look forward to the day when I will be able to legally snoop in on whatever and whomever I fancy - provided they click "yes" to install my beautiful smileys/beryl modules/whatever. The world will be a much happier place when everyone is finally exposed for who/what they really are.
"This is the exact equivalent to every windows program install requiring administrator access--something they have at least recognized as a flaw and begun to combat." Keep spreading the good word, brother. Wish I had modpoints
If you're that concerned, do not use binaries provided by anyone else. There are also defences against a compiler-based attack, if you stop to think about it. There is no need to trust Microsoft or Mandriva.
"The Al Qaeda attack on the WTC was not against the American government, it was just against an easily targetable private building."
Terrorists attack government institutions and officials in hopes to provoke a mis-targeted response that will rally public support to their cause.
It follows that Al Qaeda -a terrorist group by any account- believed at the time that at least some of the guys in the towers were working for the government of the US.
Proving if they were right or wrong is left as an exercise to the readers. Hint: begin by parsing a list of the companies which had offices in the buildings. Is the "New York State Department of Taxation and Finance" a part of the US Government? How about "Raytheon Company"?
Then, there are types of orgs where 20-30% annual employee turnover is normal and anything less than 10% is a sign people are getting complacent and starting to like their jobs *too much*.
The Imperial, actually. But it did speak to me too, seeing as he was standing on a pile of junk at the time. Reminded me of another excellent book - "Stand on Zanzibar"

Yes, you do seem impervious to irony.
"Rounding up" does not mean what you apparently think it does.

It does work. If you can crack it, it's yours. No such thing as stealing satellite - enforcement is impossible.

Title should read "Al-Qaeda scare causes widespread FUD in US and Aussie govts".

Somebody mod this up, please. Informative will do, though insightful wouldn't be off the mark.
You are a moron. I hope that you live to see the day when such a policy is implemented and that you experience its effects firsthand.
Great troll, BIFF. Now go sit down.
A "minor" quibble. The world today does make use of slave labor, extensively. Ever heard of "sweatshops"?
Read and educate yourself.
Say it like it its, brother! Wish I had mod points today.

Err... Go with OpenGL, you'll expend less dev resources that way (no rewriting). No?

"UNICEF reports that over half a million children under the age of five died due to preventable diseases."
How many of those died during the embargo?
Err... No. The only cure against a feisty middle-class is a gulag. In Soviet Russia, it worked a treat. In BB Britain, it might work again.
