On the one hand, I would support this, as we can draw an example from Japan, where perverts riding busy subway/metro trains would put their camera cell phones on telescoping or other poles and aim them upwards to shoot pics of panties. When I bought my cell in Tokyo, in Dec 2004, (Vodafone Sharp V402SH) it had a selection of immutable click or whooshes from which to choose, but silence was not one of them.
Now, where i smell a rat is the scenario where alert citizens who might film evil-doing law enforcement officers in the past, they now will think twice if concerned/fearful that a cop-watcher (cop protector) may be in the crowd watching the citizen filming the civilian-beating cop.
Then again, this may be a good feature to keep in line any school-age kids abusing photography privileges, disrupting classes. Possibly in other environments like airports, train stations and so on, this will deter less-sophisticated civilians into simply not shooting pics....
In a different scenario, the mark/target/suspect won't necessarily know of being targeted, and probably any would-be assassins may not know they are about to attack a spoof. But, anyone intent on murdering or assassinating would just field an acceptable-risk-number of assassins who might be responsible for their own target, and may not even know who it is who is their designated hit.
"Chickenhead congressmen aren't really privy to the sort of information the president is. And securing a crackberry is like trying to secure a paper bag."
Well, not only do many congressioners have chickenheads, many have gullets, and narrow vision, to. But, that's beside the point. If somebody found a way to randomly slay 5% to 20% of chickens all around the country, it would be apparent that "continuity of business" is the problem, and not that "locating" the chickens is the problem.
If triangulation is the problem, mobile spread-spectrum nodes could be deployed at some technically feasible radius of the President. If data security is the problem, same thing. Just S/S it and encrypt it, and send chunks ONLY do devices that know the freqs, the crypto/keys, AND the time to expire or ignore content presentation. If anything, Palm could find a way to produce "Executive" PDAs that or UNI vs OMNI directional, and the user then becomes responsible for knowing the narrow conic direction of transmission based on pre-arranged messaging/movement plans. Limited mobility would be a problem, but then anyone trying to intercept weak-strength signals should have an even harder time if they don't know the direction the signal will be sent irrespective of the user's PIM (path of intended movement).
the hell people allow ghost turds (name for dust, in US Navy parlance) to build up in a computer. To me, it's like taking a dump and over time never cleaning ones butt.
Eventually, as with a fan clogging up (especially in cyclically dry-then-humid locales) and sputtering and thunking/clunking, computer dust balls act as perianal sand or paste and will grind to a halt even the most strong of computer fan "gaits". So, grab an air can, and when the hardware and blow it good (out doors so you don't choke the hell out of yourself or others...). Also, get soft cloth or Q-tips and clean the blades to reduce chance of bearing grind due to imbalance caused by non-symmetry of axial spin/rotation. Ohterwise, the computer could suffer sub-thermal dustmatoma...
Just get smart, grab a baseball bat, and WHACK that windoze box across the nose and into a daze. You'll give it a diagonalized nose job and give the hard drive a shock into sub mission.
South Korea with windoze and especially active-hex (i know at least one Korean who related/recounted to me that may Korean passionately HATE ms' active x because it causes grief to many, and, iirc, grief to many Mac users), ms seems to be incredibly blindly stupid. As of (or at least around January 2007), Koreans in the south could for $5 get unlimited wireless access to any song in a catalog.
"IN the long view, Mr. Goldberg said he believes that today's copy-protection battles will prove short-lived. Eventually, perhaps in 5 or 10 years, he predicts, all portable players will have wireless broadband capability and will provide direct access, anytime, anywhere, to every song ever released for a low monthly subscription fee.
It's a prediction that has a high probability of realization because such a system is already found in South Korea, where three million subscribers enjoy direct, wireless access to a virtually limitless music catalog for only $5 a month. He noted, however, that music companies in South Korea did not agree to such a radically different business model until sales of physical CDs had collapsed.
Pointing to South Korea, where copy protection has disappeared, Mr. Goldberg invoked the pithy aphorism attributed to the author William Gibson: "The future is here; it's just not widely distributed yet." "
So, i'm gonna as a possibly inflammatory question: "Really, just what IS IT with ms? How mind-bogglingly STUPID can a collective of supposedly intelligent people be?"

They've been around since before 2002, and i've found them to have some really cool products, based on screen shots and explanations. As far as i'm concerned, the railing bush did on the NYT reporter who outed an ongoing investigation tool probably though along the lines of VisualAnalytics, and i bet VA was the tool used. Or, some in-house FBI/CIA modification of it.
Now, imagine if MySql, Postgres, and OpenOffice and other tools could be fused, but toned down for non-intelligence/spying, but for companies mining their own hepta-wheta-peta-quad data wharehouses, or for small businesses something less powerful...
As for anti-terrorism and money laundering, they have (or in 2002 had) slides showing how the bank or federal agency using the tool can interoperate and flag activities by monitoring the target's/targets' phones (any known), contacts' phones, any or all parties' banks transactions, credit cards, deposits, money orders and transfers to or from their names, addresses, and so on, and so on. Heck, if you get access to publishers and libraries, utilities, charitie, and more, HUGE or SMALL networks can be sleuthed/sussed out.
It's a mind-bogglingly powerful and impressive tool.
A subtle/background role in changes in direction for the USA. I bet the now deceased (previous) administration secretly (to the public) and openly (behind closed doors) loathed BSG, but convinced themselves there was some advantage (such as re-re-re-downloading themselves back into power come Jan 20, 2009) to not ringing up some execs on the West Coast.... But, maybe baby Hera nixed that?
HAHA... 0, Troll. Guess, "Get Over It" won't be enough for bushwanker apologists. You can mark ME troll, but history and historians with duty to humanity will NOT be kind to nor forgiving of that being on his way out... and for good reasons.
Feeding beans, butter, cheese and an assortment of other things could dual-purpose inmates as bio-fuel export sources.
If only our smart-asses could figure out how to create (or accelerate) more potent energy from our excrement, we could have a bounty of energy to fly planes. Maybe they could "cut" the bio-ass fuel into the mix. Compressed Human Ass Fuel Futures (CHAFF) could be a good investment in divestment. Hopefully, though, the planes won't "stink to high heaven"... But, flying in "a world of shit" could have omnious meanings in a crash, and NTSB would REALLY have a shitty job of the aftermath (and after math)... (is it Friday?)
What they COULD do -- since they are snazzing up the page -- is to create floating/translucent areas the contain the things moderators dick with. ANYthing that is metamoderated would go there, and then users could know instantly who the abusive on-duty moderators are. Users could link-alert each other to "rectify" the damage an assailing moderator might wreak. Moderation is a power that should come with a responsibility to JUSTIFY why a score or category is assigned, forcing any vindictive or unintelligent moderators to STFU, and to be out of a lush position.
"Pre"... what a nasty/naughty combination to... release... or unleash... WHy not call it "Palm Frond"? It'll be the palm's friend... with a swanky accent...

Yeh, I too, was thinking something along the lines of "Midnight Commander-In-Chief"... LOL!

I say they shouldn't have deLETED him. They should have deMOTED him, and then added a tidy summary of a caption to the round-file...
IT.... quite a monstrosity....(sorry, i am the "punster munster")...
