It's kind of annoying how it's nearly impossible to get any sort of a decent phone without a camera built in. I mean, sure, it's convenient for some, and a nifty feature, but is it really -necessary-? depends on what you mean by "decent" but there're a good many camera-less phones still made. my cell provider offers no less than 3 (4 if you count the bag phone).
Btw, anyone got some device to take care of thugs blaring subwoofers in traffic? Now *those* should be illegal. I don't object to your musical taste, but please, don't involuntarily subject my walls to it. if only this actually existed.
then they can track it well enough to protect/recover the classified material. Assuming it comes down somewhere that they can get at. All the accurate tracking in the world won't help much if it comes down in Iran, North Korea, China, or any other country that would be interested in said material.
the "no true scotsman" requires a shifting definition.
we have a (mostly) fixed definition of what a christian is, right in the book they follow. if you believe in and follow the book (or at least try to), you are, if you don't, you aren't.
How do filters know whether something's copyrighted or not? why would they need to do that? everything created in the entire history of the universe is copyrighted to the RIAA.~
yeah, but you need to draw a hell of a lot of current to recharge automotive-size batteries in a reasonable time span. if I'm remembering the math people have posted in previous discussions regarding this, said service stations would practically need their own small power plants.
And the Govt will try to prosecute you for having "data smuggling software" on your computer. who says it has to be on the computer? i have a 2GB flash drive i could hide under my tongue or various other difficult-to-search places.
You may not have noticed, but there're a bunch of guys with assault rifles (and RPG-7s, but I'm sure those or an equivalent could be acquired if one needed them) managing to put up a pretty good fight against your army.
Fortunately I live in Canada the Tortuga of the internet, where the torrents flow like water and our government is still afraid of its people. unless you use Rogers or Bell C, who both seem to be taking a dislike to torrents, and encrypted traffic too.
though fortunately, Bell is required by CRTC regs to lease out their lines to other providers for a fixed fee, so it's a near-certainty that anyone wanting to get away from them can find an alternate ISP that doesn't do such things.
So, how many fscking cables do they have and can they please tell us exactly how many have to go down before I can't ping a single thing in Iran?
Ah, obviously you, and perhaps the evildoers, the cable cutters themselves, need a little lesson in how the 'ol internet works. Because the answer is:
All of 'em. That's the beauty of the internet. Recall that this was one of the main design guidelines from DARPA. Like a big spider's web, take out one node, the traffic simply routes around.
So what's a little funny here is, the solid design of the internet, makes it quite hard to knock a country off the web sure, and even if you cut every cable, there'd still be satellite links, but with each connection severed, you lose significant transfer capacity. there might still be a connection, but if you're trying to shove 1000%-of-capacity traffic through it, things aren't going to work real well without cutting something(s) off on a more local level.
Since when does it take much sophistication to damage some cables?
You can find a map of approximate cable routes with google (one such example), and you can trash the cables with a decent sized ship dragging a sizable hunk of metal.
pretty much start in the northern mid-atlantic, and head due south dragging the anchor (or start in the south and go north. or both if you can get 2 ships) and it would seem to me you're practically guaranteed to screw up some of them.

wheres the "+1 depressingly correct" option?
yes, current "E85" vehicles are useless for that. it slices mileage and power. add some forced induction however, and E85 looks significantly nicer.
without using the screen-recording functionality, the overhead should be statistically irrelevant.
in which case you enable it when it is needed. i don't hear many people insisting firewalls are useless for the reasons you describe.
and then more taxes (estate/inheritance).
i think that the parser ate his sarcasm tags.
i'd guess that he has 4GB of ram and a 512MB videocard running on 32-bit vista with the usual 4GB memory addressing limit.
seems grammatically valid to me. perhaps you meant intent checking software.
or perhaps the rest of us should invest in humor detection software.
this guy has a start on it, though nothing on islam, aside from possibly the "jihad-size" joke awhile ago.
how do you figure this is a fallacy?

IIRC, the purpose is to prevent people from worshiping muhammad rather than allah (idolatry).

Pick one.

in which case you're a sith as you're dealing in absolutes. ;)
Fight one hell of a guerrilla campaign?

xBbrowser (formerly torpark) has such functionality to switch between regular access and tor routing.
whoops. typos are fun. should be sourceforge, not sourceforce. further proof using preview isn't foolproof.
though i wasn't even intending to make it a link.
