You have to take into account that this thing is running on the government's ultra classified private network. It is absolutely NOT accessible from ANY Internet based node or router. The network is totally (read: physically) separate from the Internet that you and I use. Only specific secured computers can log in at all.
I'm pretty sure you DON'T have to ask when the owner TELLS you it's ok:
Man on the street to another guy: "Excuse me, but do you know what time it is?"
Second guy: "It's three P.M."
First guy: "Thank you... and I really really like your watch..." Second Guy: "Hey, I'm trying to promote these watches. You wanna help by creating blogs and other merch to get people interested?"
First Guy: "Sure! I'll make a t-shirt with a picture of the fucking minute hand on it and sell it on my website!" Second guy: "Ohhhhh....well, I'm glad that I could spark your creativity. Good luck, and thanks for doing my job for free! (shakes second guy's hand, walks away, calls lawyer on cell phone) "Sydney! This is Dick Trickle, from Universal. He took the bait. Fire up the goon squad and start litigating the hell out of these shmucks.
Or what if we had laws where we weren't allowed to buy and sell forced laborers for our tomacco fields? Our economy is based heavily on the slave trade, and if we didn't have slaves anymore, the nation would collapse!
last I heard, the only things scientists have found that these setae wont stick to is Teflon(tm). I'm not sure how different that stuff is chemically from what you're talking about. The real problem, of course, would be getting the fluoroplastic paint to stick to your house.
He's the one with the rounder face. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Takeshi If he's writing or directing, he's usually credited by his real name, Takeshi Kitano. Seriously, watch his films.
The only time I ever watch Spike is for syndicated eps of ST:TNG. Occaisionally a room mate will put on Takeshi no Chousenjou (MXC in america). The only thing I liked about that show was seeing Beat Takeshi, the Japanese version of Sammy L Jackson, on such a ridiculous program.
Court? If recent events have taught us nothing, let us remember that RIOTING is the proper way to deal with religious differences. Perhaps burn down some restaurants based out of countries other than the one that originally offended you.
Or wait, maybe that's what you do when your football team loses. Or wins.
How about "These are the cover names for known CIA operatives in our area..." Like the article says, we'd never end up seeing anything so blatant, but there's definitely motivation to keep enemy repetition of your secret information a secret.
The weight issue alone might make it worth it for some people, especially those who don't already have a DS. The original DS is kinda weighty for its size, and with the lid up, it additionally tends to be a little top heavy. After a bit of playtime with the unit's weight unsupported, my wrists and hands *hurt*. Good thing its so awesome in general or I'd kick it to the curb.
In other news, the Fox network has announced a new reality show. It will feature professional gamer Fatality as he plots to murder people in the highschool gym, with hundreds of spectators in the stands.
The spacetime curvature imbalance, the spacetime curvature being the same as gravity, provides for the space vehicle's propulsion. The space vehicle, surrounded by the spacetime anomaly, may move at a speed approaching the light-speed characteristic for the modified locale.
Hmmm... This sounds suspiciously familiar...

Can you patent an invention that was explained in sci fi?
Am I the only one here that has a serious problem with the "cellborg" nomenclature? Cyborg is a contraction of cybernetic organism. Wouldn't a very simple creature, even a single-celled one, still fall into the category of "organism"? A better name would be cybernetic-single-cell-organism, or "cybsingcelorg," but no one wants to try to pronounce that, much less market the term in fancy website headlines.
"Now imagine a store with RFID chips embedded in every product. At checkout time, the digital code in each item is associated with our credit card data."
Yeah, because that's not EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS NOW every time you use your credit card with, say, a UPC code. Granted, it's harder to track a upc after it leaves the store... But come on; if you're that concerned about privacy, you couldn't be using a credit card at all.
This sounds like a familiar concept...

Mod parent up. Organic != life. They just tend to go together here on Earth.
The "little guy" in this case is the legion of 13 and 14 year old kids who are uploading videos they saw on MTV.
"If you define it as using Grokster to download whatever song you like without paying for it then, all caps or not, you're wrong."
I must respectfully disagree. Not about the grokster thing, but ALL CAPS is, like, an infallible logical proof of the validity of one's arguments.
E.G. "I AM RIGHT!"
QED.
"He says we should have some, but not unlimited fair use. Yes and yes."
Fair use implies it is already fair. It should therefore NEVER BE LIMITED TO ANY DEGREE.
