Richard Box's 'Field' artwork is probably the most amazing example of this - 1301 florescent tubes arranged in a grid under electricity pylons lines...
It isn't necessarily a nuke that could be fitted into a missile
The test is being reported as an 'Hiroshima' size yield: around 20 kilotons.
This doesn't mean they have a fully-funtional nuke in the moden sense of the word. The Hiroshima bomb was basically a large gun that fired a chunk of 90% U-235 into another chunk of Uranium, and was a proof-of-concept that was simple and guaranteed to work. And big: not possible to mount on a Taepodong-2. They have hundreds of kilos of Uranium from their pre-2007 nuclear power industry that can be enriched for this type of bomb.
Until they can show they're testing nukes using shaped Plutonium and timed explosives, this could be just bravado to stir up support for the military as Kim Jong-Il hands power over to one of his sons. Not necessaily technical achievement.

If we are talking about digital effects done in post, they are VISUAL effects not SPECIAL effects
Special Effects are practical effects done in front of the camera (fake blood, explosions made by a pyrotech, monsters made of latex...)
Visual Effects are 2-D/3-D objects digitally composited into the live action footage in post.
Considering there was an article about non-geek people calling CPUs 'hard-drives' and other IT nomenclature, this is pretty basic in film-making terminology.
Calling a visual effect a special effect is like calling someone who builds computers a 'computer programmer'
You don't avoid lens flares by using a polarizing filter, you flag off the light coming from lighting fixtures outside the camera frame using flags or french flags
This list of data's only half the problem. The 'joined up thinking' that links this data together is the cause for concern.
The aim of the National ID Database is to provide an index to tie this data to an individual's state record. Remains to be seen whether the Conservatives will scrap the database along with their promised killing of the ID card itself.
At the moment there's still a lot of 'pay as you go' systems (phone, oyster card, national rail tickets, petrol). As coercive attempts are made to move these systems away from cash (often by making cash payments disproportionately more expensive than bank card alternatives) money becomes the index to link these databases to the individual
The data itself isn't the only problem, it's the 'joined up thinking' that ties it together - the database 'index' that uniquely identifies an individual and ties them to all these pieces of data
The database behind the national ID card hopes to provide this index. But what remains to be seen is: will the Conservatives (who promise to scrap the ID card scheme) also scrap the national ID database plans that can index the population.
It's also important to keep track of how everyday life processes are becoming linked to each other in a compulsory way. At the moment we have many 'pay as you go' systems (mobiles, oyster cards, national rail tickets, petrol). The state doesn't need to link these to a national ID database. Money is the index. And if it becomes impossible to pay for these sorts of systems with cash, many of the OP's list of 'logs' become inextricably linked together.
I think the OP was using the word immigrate instead of emigrate as a 'humourous quip'.
Those of us who spell color 'colour' regard our country as supposedly the 'good guys' that people in despotic regimes emigrate TO not FROM.
This survey really needs to categorize mobile (blackberry et al) and non-mobile email users.
Because crackberry people seem to develop email-'twitch' that makes them break out in a rash when others don't respond to their missives within 30 seconds.
Protesting within 1km of Parliament in the UK is illegal, unless you've been given Police permission. Even people with blank white placards, protesting that they're not allowed to protest, have been arrested.
Protester Brian Haw's still in Parliament Square because his protest pre-dated the poorly-drafted Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005.
People can and do swipe your mp3 collection without you reaslising though - like when you plug your ipod into someone else's computer to charge.
Watermarking the files is fine, but at least tell the consumer so they know they have to be careful who they expose their mp3s to.

actually the DoJ papers say the PBX systems were Nortel, Lucent, Bizphone and Panasonic

There's a nice article in The Guardian today pointing that about 1000 years of history is all that differentiates a mainstream religion from a cult.
Imagine what would happen if the Catholic Cult, I mean Church, had their IP addresses block-banned from editing Wikipedia.
Then don't document the system using words.
Maybe pictures and diagrams?
it just needs some hyphens
If you move your mouse pointer continuously while the data is being returned to Microsoft Excel, the query may not fail.
Imagine how much entropy you could collect when the process may fail and the user hurls their computer out of the window.

The moral of this story is... if you want to commit suicide, don't take your cellphone with you.

Real friends are supposed to say things their friends don't want to hear.
It's pretty self-evident, but amazing how often it's forgotten.

monkeys with typewriters also post the truth sometimes - it's no show of greater insight or intelligence just like noise versus terrorist chatter

Fortunately the boy was charged in the UK. So he can be held for *only* 28 days.
