Come on, this is Slashdot. It's pretty much our job to worry ourselves to death that every government in the world is actively trying to breed its own Big Brother for some reason. Just go with the flow.
I click on the link expecting to see some sort of humanoid killing machine, but instead I'm greeted with a stereo with legs stolen from a shopping trolley? Oh, ha ha ha, how funny, you put little eyes on it.
Also, I thought web pages like that disappeared when they outlawed FrontPage. Oh, right.
What about police officers posing as drug dealers? That's been going on for a while, and apparently that's not entrapment, though it seems to fit the definition even better than what's going on here.
it would explain why everything tastes like chicken
Tank: Here you go, buddy; "Breakfast of Champions."
Mouse: If you close your eyes, it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs.
Apoc: Yeah, or a bowl of snot.
Mouse: Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat Tasty Wheat?
Switch: No, but technically, neither did you.
Mouse: That's exactly my point. Exactly. Because you have to wonder: how do the machines know what Tasty Wheat tasted like? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe what I think Tasty Wheat tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal, or tuna fish. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take chicken, for example: maybe they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.
It's a point that's been addressed and is now ignored because only idiots continue to argue it. Africans have large families because there's no other source of farming labour, and since there's no other industry to go into, farming is what they do, because they need food from somewhere.
This argument is always put forward when there's a debate about the lottery. I'm not bought by it.
I mean, come on. You're not going to win. Ever. If you want something to have a beer and a good larf about, watch the football or something.
And what if fortune decides to grant you the money? It'd be a shame if you actually bought all the stupid shit you promised yourself you'd squander it on.
What about the situtation where the person who is being scanned has been processed beforehand, and had their internal semantic dictionary already read and decoded by some method (perhaps by forcing them to think about something in particular, and then recording the brain pattern for that)?
Are you going to be saying the same thing when the government passes a law that requires remote access to your web cam for terrorist tracking purposes and that all new TVs produced after a certain date have cameras built in that allow two way communication via cable, satellite, or terrestrial over the air bands?

Let me tell you about my god, the FSM,
That sound you heard was the joke going over your head.

It's $9, man. There are worse things in life.
It takes me two hours, you sensitive clod!

This is the internet, man. Logic dictates you stay the hell away from that thing.
Come on now.

Hah. Silly Americans, capable of understanding only one mathematic. Britain's already up to its fifteenth!
Excuse me? Peter Noone would never be that rude.
We've known this for a while, haven't we?

'Type in your password'? Why would a sheep farmer need to do that?
(Oh, god, I hope the moderators get this one.)

Yeah, what with the highly developed internet at that time.

Jesus. Ok, it's all right to have a little bit of suspicion with regards to motives here, but "Manhattan 1984"? That's a bit much, isn't it?
Also, how does this qualify as having to do with Our Rights Online?
