Thanks for all the years and places we have never gone before...
They are always watching you. No matter what you type, text, or tweet, they can and will read it and you will never even know.
After facebook facial recognition technology comes to fruition, your behavior patterns will be analyzed and recorded, and you may be 're-programmed' to fit back in to society nicely. If you fail to comply with the surveillance overlords, you must be prepared for the inevitable consequences.
The 'land of the free and the home of the brave' thanks you in advance for your cooperation.
Have a nice day.
But seriously, if we are going to sue every website and blog for re-posting photos found on the web, the internet is going to have to shut down due to widespread copyright violations.
I remember being FORCED to buy a TI graphing calculator in order to pass a college mathematics course. I remember all we needed it for was to plot graphs, which could have been (and probably should have been) done on paper. I didn't really learn anything by using it, except how to use the calculator. I used it for a couple months and then promptly sold it when I was done with the course.
What a scam by my college and TI.
"...the publishers also want access to all computer systems on the campus network, to monitor compliance and copying."
Okay so the publishers are going to hire a small army of people to enforce this monitoring provision? Sounds like that cost will outweigh any losses incurred from anyone copying more than 10% of their material.
Sounds pretty stupid to me.
I heard on the radio the other day that hotel and city surveillance cameras were going to be the key to prove his innocence or guilt since they are virtually EVERYWHERE in New York City.
The other interesting tidbit of information is that DSK said that he would be set-up in some sort of entrapment sex scandal a few weeks before he arrived in the USA.
Makes you wonder...
I understand his concern, especially after Kaspersky son's kidnapping, but this would erode online privacy to say the least.
'described himself as an “optimistic paranoid” when it came to online security'
I guess an optimistic paranoid is hoping that the next security technology is better than the one before, but never really trusting anything or anyone.
...or flood zones, tsunami zones, or any other areas where natural disasters are more LIKELY to happen.
Alternatively, we could fast-track the production and efficiency of green, renewable energy which sounds like the best solution since it is extremely difficult to predict an earthquake.
We need to stockpile these viruses in order to stop the spread of the imminent Zombie Outbreak. Just don't hit the self-destruct button at the CDC until all Zombies have been eliminated!
The other suitable way is to visit each PSN network member personally in their homes and verify through a series of extremely-intrusive questions, birth-certificate verification, and DNA tests that they indeed are who they say the are.

In my humble opinion.
Because there is a profit in it?
It's a haven of wrongdoing!

Just like any other one, you have to pay to truly 'belong' and you must never, ever take the Jobs name in vain.
"the researchers estimated that there are nearly two free-floaters for every star in our galaxy."
Someone really needs to tell these stars to remember to flush when they are done with their solar discharges.

Who do you think you are? The President of the Constitutional Convention???
Score +1 for George Lucas' foresight, further proof that 'The Empire Strikes Back' is the best move of all time...OF ALL TIME! ;)

Is it machine language? Because all I hear them saying are 'ones and zeroes.'
Made me laugh :)

Did Sony's security team even THINK about testing and verifying they were doing was indeed secure when they brought the system back up again?
Sounds like the corporate culture over at Sony is horrible. First the DRM scandal, then the PSN hack and now this.
We need the stats for Apple in order to make a comparison. Does anyone even know?
So, did you kiss a girl yet or not???
