A more innocuous use of the technology. You could see how it could be used for evil purposes. In fact, I don't think it could be used subversively in any fashion that could be described as anything other than evil.
If this happened to me, a person who does not watch TV because I HATE commercials and the psychological effect they intend to have on me. I'd be flipping out.
I have no link, it may have been SlashDot. I read an article with video about a year ago that involved directional audio that did just that. You could be standing in a crowd and be the only one that heard something, sounding like it was in your head.
They were testing it out in public, and it WAS freaking people out.
It's not so much that they are anti-US as totally for themselves. They've pretty much raped the US and there are no profits there for them anymore. At least not as far as doing business goes. They'll still sell you stuff, but they have no job for you. It's cheaper to get things done in countries where people are barely surviving and will work for next to nothing. Free trade agreements make it impossible to do anything about this situation. Trade agreements come before the law, including your constitution. Where's the money? Corporations are currently very cash rich, if they cared about the US, they would be creating jobs. They don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves, they own the government, and we, the people (not just the US) have given the whole fucking show away.
It's sad listening to all these people defending low taxes for corporations. It's so crystal clear that trickle down economics has failed utterly and remains as a recipe for disaster, but people still defend it.

I believe that Warren Buffet, aside from being a very shrewd businessman, is a very moral person. He recognizes that the current structure of the money system will bring about the downfall of the middle class and basically screw the whole country. Except for the very rich.

Could Microsoft have clout with the IRS?
Given that every desktop and likely plenty of the servers at the IRS run Windows and Office, I'd love to watch them say "audit our books, and we'll revoke every license to every Microsoft product purchased by every arm of the federal, state, and local governments". Now *that* would be be a funny show to watch.
It would be funny to watch them try. They couldn't do it to you (legally) let alone the IRS.
I was looking for this exact thing just this morning. It's not hugely impressive, but it looks like no one else has done it. I did come across a lot of messages saying how it should be done.
Happy to see the code, I'll try it out. Much better than having to write it myself.
How about Spiteful?
Does taking the source from an Apache licensed product and converting it from java to.net mean you no longer have to observe the license?
Check in with FourSquare to become the mayor of burger king to get a 10% discount on your next piece of crap for lunch, and watch your insurance company make a silent note.
Why is this bad? I eat healthy, and am healthier for it. Why should I have to subsidize the lard-asses who eat at BK every day?
The way to deal with the public cost of fast food is to put a surtax on it and apply that money to the health care system. Like they do with cigarettes.
That way the fatties can lead their miserable lives and the rest of us don't have to pay for it. Much in the same way I don't have to pay for your devil-may-care attitude towards surveillance. I do my best to protect my information. Most of the sheep don't know or care. It's surprising that you do know and don't care, but that's your privilege.
As for Slashdot posts, I post them to give my opinion, if we didn't want anyone to read them, we wouldn't post them.
I'm anti-religion too. I don't care what you do on your own if it doesn't affect me, but religion scares me.
The prime example is all those Christians waiting for the rapture, hoping for it. These people actually want the world to end. Wars, environmental catastrophes, political upheavals, etc., are signs from "God" to these people. There are a lot of them, and they are allowed to vote, run for political office and make law.
It is NPC to criticize religion. How did that happen when it has the capability to profoundly effect us in such negative ways?
iOS 5's main feature is iCloud. Time will tell how useful it is. I do hope for a tethered JB, so I can have it do iCloud backups without needing a Wi-Fi connection though.
I'm pretty sure that I read that Apple was using Windows Azure for iCloud.
And if you're honestly going to tell a McCain/Palin administration would be a carbon copy of Obama's, I don't need to show you examples disproving it because you're fucking nuts.
You would go down the tubes a lot faster, I agree. That would be a good thing, then maybe more people would pull their heads out of their asses and realize what a fucking over you are taking. Maybe, do something about it?
Have fun not voting and getting what you deserve next year. President Romney or Perry will give you graphic examples of "difference".
They won't let me vote, I'm not American. Actually, I think I'm on the no fly list.
I am NOT Obama's biggest fan. What he is trying to do is the right thing.
You think? He seems to cave awfully easily, he never uses his veto, just threatens to. I think that he is just as corrupt as the other guys. Actually Ron Paul is looking reasonable, but don't count on it.
I think you have to flush the whole system and start over.
the defense agency argues that its analysis can expose terrorist
It also conveniently justifies the spending of billions of tax dollars. Am I the only one who recognizes that the more money passing through the hands of the elite who run the business of government, the better positioned they are to exploit that cash flow for personal gain?
Did you miss the entire George "Dubya" Bush presidency? Yes, that is what the U.S. government does. When the judicial branch tells them "no" they do what they want anyway.
That was pretty much the basis for my comment. Obama is no different, as disappointing as that is.

The context was advertising.
Fantasizing about some celebrity, or being in Star Trek, or on the game grid in Tron is one thing. Killing or harming people is another.
The hands down #1 fantasy of both genders is rape. Does that come under harm? Does it make everyone a rapist?
Hey fuck o! It's the businesses that are Anti US.

I'd heard they were more like upscale college dorms than prison cells.
forcing someone to live in a college dorm would be inhuman.

As you say, sshd is a system daemon.

Yeah, mod him up. That IS interesting.

Yup, on every page that has a like button. Which is why the NoScript/Firefox combo rules. You can see it, and disable it.
I tried Facebook out for a while, don't use it. I can't get my kids off it though, at least they know what they are dealing with.
