Maybe, just maybe The Man doesn't want us to know that major skyscrapers have been fitted with a self-destruct system designed to "pull" them in a controlled demolition in case of a disaster. Controlled demolition being seen as more acceptable than to leave it to chance whether the building topples over, crashing on nearby objects with possibly much larger loss of life and property. Keeping this secret makes sense, for otherwise bad people would go looking for the Big Red Button in their particular most hated highrise eyesore.
Just because a certain species of ape lives in groups and groups don't usually tolerate individuals from other groups joining their group on a whim, that doesn't mean that their behaviour is "racist". We're talking about one specific species, one specific "race". Humans form a single species which also tends to live in groups, so "racism" as a description for human behaviour towards other humans is an oxymoron. It needs to be called "tribalism". The only real racism that most humans share is the desire to only mate with their own kind, that is: humans.
Me stereo beat you stereo anytime! Me have latest JVC with latest amp, 800 Watts max. beat you puny GE hands down! I rig up my EQ lights to supa dupa neon and blinkers, see? 6" woofers in my tailpipes, add 10 horsepower easy! Wanna race? Honda Type R rulezzz!

And yes, I've watched 'a few' episodes from that show and like them very much, thank you.
For your info, a Guyver refers to the manga by Yoshiki Takaya who just happens to have the same family name as my grandmother. Thanks for asking.

i want my capital letters comma period exclamation mark question mark apostrophe opening and closing quotes and parentheses em and en dash underscore etc or do you want me to write all of those in longhand never mind
Do you mean the new (fan?)twist to the Bio Booster Armor Guyver manga where a handyman builds his own Guyver from stuff from the scrapyard, the chicken farm, at the slaughterhouse and in the McDonalds dumpster? Anyway, why leave out the duct tape?
Of course, it would be difficult to distinguish pure RFIDolly clones, but if the biocloning process is refined to have natural variation in DNA mutations during procreation influence the RFID payload, mate her with a (possibly preseeded) ram and there's no need to re-tag her offspring.
Just imagine a Beowulf cluster of her and her sisters jumping into a swimming pool and you have a (camel-)TOE using String Theory, cup size D-Branes and lots of quantum gravity to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity, all demonstrated by a spectacular Big Bang (erhm Splash).

Yeah, why not plug in a neato SPI firewall appliance, an IDS appliance, a parental control appliance, a password storage/form filling appliance, an iPod dock appliance, and 10 more to choose from our catalog? Each based on an Intel Core2Quad processor, 4 GB memory and a 500 GB hard drive, topped off with the latest in 3D video hardware in case you want to hook up a monitor and keyboard to do maintenance using our intuitive management console. If you order now, we will supply you with 4 power strips with 8 outlets each, with surge protectors to match, free of charge! We will even include a voucher for a 40% rebate on the course "Modern Weaving: Creating Beautiful Designs using Power Cords and USB cables".

I don't know what you are ranting about, but it must be rough talk, for the UltimateSafeBrowseInstaCensor plugin in my browser plastered over about 10% of your post with hyperanimated, multitextured, silver-lined black felt-tip swaths. Nice plugin this, comes standard on the 4 DVD, 32 GB 'compact' installation disk set. Too bad my PC has only 512 MB of RAM and a 550 MHz processor, so the Slashdot front page took about a day to render, and my hard drive is beginning to make strange noises, as if the heads are trying to shake themselves loose from their bearings. Minor nuisance.
Thank goodness! Emancipation at last. It probably shows my age and lack of finances that I'm still using a Socket 478 mainboard/CPU from before the sexual revolution.
Anyone who calls a motherboard a 'mainboard' deserves to fail.
To call it a mainboard is the PC way (yes it's a pun). Or would you rather have Fathers for Justice coming after you for being gender-biased? Wouldn't fatherboards be able to take care of all those electronics too? BTW, why are all CPU's heterosexual males anyway? They always mate with female sockets.
Actually, I'm feeling very disappointed by the new name. All previous incarnations of the language had a name that was a valid expression (and thus a C statement) parseable by even its oldest incarnation, thus stressing backwards compatibility. This incarnation's name parses to a fsckin' syntax error! Why add an unterminated hex constant (let alone fail to add parentheses and drop the redundant unary plus)? What was wrong with the ol' post-increment? With just slightly more creativity they could've come up with a better name than this. What deplorable state the world of programming has gotten to...
So what? So the ISP simply Have their DPI decompress the gzip'ed data and inspect that. Well, you could try sending enormous blobs of HTML'ized gzip'ed binary data. You could scramble your TCP/IP stack so it goes through weird contorted schemes of pseudo-random packet dropping, fragmentation, reassembly etc. to flush the DPI cache, etcetera, etcetera.
This will turn into YASAR (Yet Another Silly Arms Race)
Flash video players (the.swf that does the actual playback) put a much higher load on your system than 'native' players.
For example, on my P3/550MHz I have never had any Flash player give me anything better than a slideshow, and I can forget about even trying full-screen, unless I'm in the mood for Zen meditation. Native players like MPlayer play the video smoothly, even full-screen.

Then they can create a one way data warehouse dump of the data on a daily basis.
Just have the LHC create some nice little black holes and dump the data into them. One way data warehouse, with absolutely perfect data security.

We need more interspecies matings with aliens and animals, or we are going to devolve.

which vista version are you using?
Dunno, can't seem to get past the startup screen before it crashes[*].
MS must have gone for a 99.999% Downtime guarantee on Vista I guess.
[*]Of course this isn't true (I don't use Windows), but neither is MS' five nines uptime claim, so who cares?

Guess that means your browser runs Linux, too
A beta, if things went well, should be as close as possible to the final release.
Erm, wouldn't that be a Release Candidate (RC) then?
