The police in the UK already have the power to detain people arbitrarily. So that piece of the fascist puzzle is already in place for a gulag. All you need is some leader to take advantage of said legislation, but hey, by then its too late..
By the way, did you know that before the first world war, you could travel and live ANYWHERE in the world freely and without restriction? Passports were put in place to control the flow of people during the war. Guess what? The legislation was never revoked after the war. We just live with it, and it has got progressively More suppressing over the years. Do you really think governments have your interests at heart when it comes to personal freedoms?
It would be much easier just to stop the Amazon being destroyed, but do you think that we can do something much simpler like that?
It is really just not that simple to impose your ideas upon sovereign territories. Therein lies the crux of the problem. One advantage of this plan is that these ships could reside in international waters outside of the scope of national laws, politics, and corporate greed.
Well they encountered something not natural i.e. constructed halfway to the moon. He describes the object in fair detail.
there are stringent psychological tests that are performed with on astronauts to ensure that they are level headed individuals who can cope successfully in extreme conditions.
You obviously haven't listened to the interview. It was a UFO. So either the Russians were halfway to the moon already with a highly sophisticated craft or it was not of earthly origin.
I am sceptical. I also understand that logically that the odds of there being other inhabited planets are high. We as humans attempt to transpose our limited knowledge onto a model of reality and assume that all possible intelligent lifeforms conform to our primitive model. We are still really a very primitive species. We are only at the beginning of our scientific discoveries. Most have been made in the last 100 years which in the universal time-frame is nothing. It is a distinct possibility that there are highly advanced civilisations in the universe with technology far beyond our limited and self-deluded comprehension. As a sceptic, I accept these considerations. You on the other hand have obviously made up your mind based on the information that you have at your disposal that this could not possibly be true, and have voiced this.
But honestly it is pointless to continue this dialogue. All I can add is that there are many people of good social standing that have added to the growing voice that we have and are being visited by extra terrestrials. These people have more to lose than gain by voicing this kind of information publicly. That fact I cannot discount. Whether or not their voices are true will only be verified if/when we actually get to see/meet aliens. To that degree I remain sceptical, but curious.
Uh, no. He describes a craft that flew up close to them, stayed close to them for a while and then disappeared. He made it quite clear in the interview that they were on a publicly accessible frequency, so their communications could be heard by all, so they were restricted to how they could describe what they were witnessing.
I'm as sceptical as the next bloke, but Buzz Aldrin is not some bloke you meet in the pub. He's been to the moon. These astronauts are exceptional individuals, they are the cream of the cream of the crop. His admissions are difficult to discount as incredible. The same goes for the new admissions by this astronaut.
There is a video interview with Buzz Aldrin on YouTube describing their encounters with what can only be described as alien craft on the way to the moon.
(YouTube is proxied out at work, so I cant send you the URL - but you can search for it)
Don't kid yourself.
It is very common to set boundaries within a relationship. If I have a friend who eats meat, and I'm vegetarian, and I tell them this to avoid possible future embarrassment (e.g. them inviting me over and serving me roast lamb) - by your logic this makes me carnivorous, which I am not. Consider someone telling you about his girlfriend a compliment, because it means that they are prepared to continue the friendship despite the sexual differences, and they wish to avoid any embarrassment in the future.
The fact is that you seem uncomfortable with your own sexuality. My advice, grow up a bit, and accept the friendship for what it is. Your life will be a lot more fulfilling when you stop attempting to impose your values upon other people.
I was involved in the architectural design of what was probably the worlds first trusted document delivery networks, designed to serve and deliver legal documents between lawyers. We worked very closely with our local Verisign Agency.
Having access to Verisign's root servers, means that they have both your public and private keys. This means they can decrypt your encrypted RSA streams on the fly without any really serious hardware or specialised talent
The only feasible solution at this point to to encrypt streams between clients and servers. the obligatory reply about performance may be crossing your mind right now, but is there actually any other solution?
Globally, legislation is being forced through parliaments, to take away our rights. This legislation has come in many forms, but the result of it is that someone wants to access and read your streams of data for whatever reason.
The only way to render this closer to impossible is to stop them being able to read your private correspondence with a web information service provider. The cost for this privacy - faster servers - will be a small price to pay.
Decrypting private data is generally regarded as a serious offence in most countries, and while, only the USA security organisations have access to Verisign's root servers, they will not admit this in public, because it would take away their advantage.
Microsoft already owns 10% of Apple. They bailed Apple out when they were in trouble, just so that they could have a visible 'competitor' in the Market.
And with new Windows apps.
I've written several enterprise apps using Delphi (Object Pascal) using Zeoslib (http://sourceforge.net/projects/zeoslib) running under WINE.
The combination of Native binaries and the complied open source database layer has meant that my apps run fine on both Windows and Wine into numerous databases.
WINE has run remarkably well in these environments without having to have resorted to any non standard development and without any compromise. I would certainly recommend this combination of tools to anyone looking to develop powerful cross platform apps without any compromise.
Well, maybe this could set some kind of a precedent. Reiser would certainly be more productive to society coding than making number plates. Why punish everybody for his crimes?
This is obviously going to create a feeding frenzy for googles advertising sales.
I do however think that it may affect their adword partners, who may be hesitent to place competitors adverts on their sites.
Its a bit offtopic, but if you have to eat pet food, stick to dog food. Dogs have very similar digestive systems to humans, and you could live quite healthily on a good brand of dog pellets.
So we pick a mature (read old), experienced astronaut who may be facing their last years and send them on the last and ultimate journey of a lifetime

You may only be joking, but Buzz Aldrin, an astronaut on the Apollo [first moon landing] mission has clearly stated in an interview that they were approached and observed by at least one Unidentified Flying Object on their historical moon mission, while on the way to the moon.... Here's the interview on YouTube
I noticed that they left off the most important thing that needs to be re-engineered at this juncture in time: Democracy.
Democracy just does not work in its present form any more. Legislated corruption has become a scourge worldwide. We have been brainwashed to believe that governments are our rulers instead of civil servants. We have forgotten that as citizens we own the common infrastructures of the world. They do not belong to the politicians to do with whatever they see fit. Really folks, its time for a change...
Your analogy is flawed. All of the above charge a service fee. Facebook etc don't. An option would be that you could subscribe and have extra privileges, but the question is, would enough people do this to provide a sustainable revenue stream for the companies in question?
Psychopath (Noun)
Someone with a sociopathic personality; a person with an antisocial personality disorder ('psychopath' was once widely used but has now been superseded by 'sociopath')
Dictionary Quote.
What is happening between Pakistan and India is called Brinkmanship, not terrorism. It happens on any border between countries where there is tension. It is not Terrorism.
Unfortunately you have bought the bullshit propaganda hook, line and sinker. The only place there is Muslin terrorism at the moment is in the middle east e.g. Israel, Palestine and within Iraq. Note that in both these situations there is a regime suppressing a group of people for their own interests. It is highly unlikely that there will be Muslim terrorism in UK or USA, because in both of these countries Muslim people are NOT SUPPRESSED.
Where do you get the figures of 10500? Are these citizens living in USA or UK? because that is who terrorists target - civilian targets. That is why it is called terrorism. Perhaps you choose to ignore the 150 000 (conservative estimate) of Iraqi citizens that have been killed directly because of the American Invasion. These are normal people like you or me, who have families, jobs and children at school, who just want to go about their daily life in peace, killed so that American companies can control the large oil reserves in Iraq - not for freedom or democracy.
"If I was American or British right now, I would be very concerned." - is that a threat?
No this is a statement. As an outsider I can see through the propaganda that you live in, the construct that your government has created that you have accepted as reality. I have lived under a suppressive fascist regime before. I can read the signs, and I can see what is probably coming unless there is some kind of intervention.
By the way - read my tagline. I support and promote freedom, not supression.
Have you noticed that your society has transcended before your eyes into a surveillance society. Do you know that you can now be detained indefinitely without trial? Do you know that there are elements within the British government that want total surveillance on your life?
The thing is, the only terrorism you know was from the IRA, which is what I was describing. This new thing, labelled as terrorism is not. It is something else. As a British citizen you may remember that the IRA had clear objectives.
This current wave of violence is not terrorism. It is something else. It has been designed to coerce you as Joe Citizen, into agreeing with passing the laws that will enable a surveillance society. And it it working, as you can witness by the laws being passed. Since the turn of the century, the freedoms enjoyed by ordinary citizens in USA and Britain have been severely eroded.
Unfortunately this is just the beginning. there is however still time to stop it before it spirals out of control - before you get your first dictators. If you think it cant happen, ask the older Germans, they will tell you that it pretty much started in this way. Also ask the Jewish people how their freedoms were curtailed in Nazi Germany, and how it turned out for them. they ALLOWED it to happen to them because they were law obeying citizens of Germany at the time. they had faith that the balance of law and order would have been restored in Germany, but it was not. Wherever freedoms are being curtailed, it is in order to control people. Once the control begins, it is VERY DIFFICULT to undo the control.

Verisign have both keys. They issue most recognised RSA keys globally. They sell keys through their PKI infrastructures globally.
