Cydia brought this to the iPhone but it will be nice to see the ability to turn on other app store abilities like you can on android.
Exactly. The app store is only a choke point if you have one of them. If you have cydia and one or two others then the argument put forward by Jimmy Wales is weakened.
So stand up and do something. Go join one of the groups wanting to destroy the US government and help out. Walk the talk, little geek, or sit on your fat ass and post screed that no one other than you think are relevant and intelligent.
There is no statement in the GP's post that they are against the approach they outlined..... you've just assumed they were and are doing nothing about it. Perhaps they are proud of how the USA can persecute someone without a guilty verdict....
Clearly the fact that Google and Facebook are built largely on open source software is meaningless. Who's ever heard of those? No, it's when foreign governments start using open source software that people will pay attention;)
and funny thing is I work within a foreign government department and i've pushed open source fairly hard - The resistance is based around "American Enterprise don't use it so we wont either".
If a bunch of pot smokers want to turn their brains to Jello and wreck their lungs, throats and mouths, let them. They are hurting no one but themselves. If you' say that we'll have increased health care spending, so what? If pot were legalized, you can believe that A) every single private health insurance company is going to mandate tests for marijuana and other drugs and deny coverage to those smoking pot without a prescription.
Of course insurance companies already want to know if you smoke or chew tobacco which will affect your lungs, throats, mouth, but do insurance companies currently check for people 'turning their brains to Jello' by testing if they watch Fox news?

There's talk about the health risks of the machines, but I can't believe you won't get more radiation on the flight. Here's some data:
A typical dental X-ray exposes the patient to about 2 millirems of radiation. According to one widely cited estimate, exposing each of 10,000 people to one rem (that is, 1,000 millirems) of radiation will likely lead to 8 excess cancer deaths. Using our assumption of linearity, that means that exposure to the 2 millirems of a typical dental X-ray would lead an individual to have an increased risk of dying from cancer of 16 hundred-thousandths of one percent. Given that very small risk, it is easy to see why most rational people would choose to undergo dental X-rays every few years to protect their teeth.
More importantly for our purposes, assuming that the radiation in a backscatter X-ray is about a hundredth the dose of a dental X-ray, we find that a backscatter X-ray increases the odds of dying from cancer by about 16 ten millionths of one percent. That suggests that for every billion passengers screened with backscatter radiation, about 16 will die from cancer as a result.
Given that there will be 600 million airplane passengers per year, that makes the machines deadlier than the terrorists.
You are correct that the electorate is insane. As a result, we get the government that the media and the people with money shove down our throats.
With the media being controlled by the people with money, and with close ties to the government, we can reduce that to "we get the government the people with money want us to get".
I recall some news during the last presidential election which was looking at each hopefuls election funds - and basically divided the funds total by ~$35 to estimate the number of votes that person would get. The more you spend, the more votes you get.
The law here is very murky, and "aiding in submitting documents" probably isn't a crime. If there was a clear crime comitted here, we'd have heard specifically what it is by now.
They're looking... and it reminds me of this:
If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged. - Cardinal Richelieu*.
I had a similar experience. A few years ago I was trying to keep contact with a girl while I was away, so gave her a call while on an exercise. During the call she said 'what is that banging noise?'... 'oh that, that's just some artillery fire... so anyway, what are you wearing?'
Thanks. I wasn't sure how that worked, (and was silently hoping i wasn't going to get flamed for not having RTFA or something...)
so cheers!
The lets hope the court in DC does take the cue. I'd like to see the business model change rather than massive lawsuits against P2P.
I acknowledge the business model is changing with the likes of Netflix online, Hulu etc, and i'd like to see progress in that direction - internationally. (many of those services are not available outside the USA).
There was an entire documentary about this. I'm at work, so I'm not going to go googling for it, but I believe it was called "If Drugs Were Legal", or something to that effect. It talks about pharmaceutical companies making designer drugs that cause specific effects and side effects, allowing the user to tailor their experience to exactly what they want.
Personally, I'm not so sure I'd be willing to take a recreational drug created by a pharmaceutical company, but the market would undoubtedly be massive.
The entire movie appears to be on google video, but not working.
As I understand, there are 1,000s of pages of documents involved in the current Wikileaks releases. I don't have time to review these, so I'd like to see a summary of the interesting (more than "symbolic") material. Can somebody direct me?
Also, considering the timing of the unrelated legal assaults against Assange, I assume they are contrived. But as a more appropriate retaliation, couldn't the US gov just publish all the damning material they have on him?

Money = speech, but only for large values of money.
Not really, as small amounts of money equate to small amounts of speech.
look at it another way: 10% of the people hold 90% of the wealth. That same 10% control 90% of how things operate around here...
