    Now they take away my net. And nobody is speaking up because everyone's busy surfing, buying and "making friends" to care that a part of the net that was important to me, that I considered important enough to create an outcry should it vanish. Yet nobody notices it.

    Just post video on youtube how you cut yourself because they are taking away your freedom. And say you will bring gun to your local school.

    I agree that this "first they come for you" is little stupid, but if "it just doesn't work" why do they insist on installing cameras everywhere? It's not like these cameras are just plain annoyance and not useful, but we should be careful not to lose all of our liberties.

    Will they just sit and do nothing?

    Likely many will get laid off.

    And they will not protest? People who have work want to still have work. They will find ways to still have work (like firefighters who go and put fires, so they can report them as first and have bonuses).

    Or will they go after any people which do not agree with them?

    They won't be able to do the latter legally, so no.

    Yeah, because they won't change law ever.
    If you think governments want only laws good for people and don't do anything secretly, read about ACTA

  7. Re:This is ... a good thing? on London Police Seek To Install CCTV In Pubs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Recently in Poland there was scandal with CCTV. Operators had bonuses for spotting committed crimes. But not for preventing them. Do you think they prevented any crimes? Cameras give police very much power. But power corrupts. And normal people can't for example look at every time what police does, like they can look what we normal people do. Try standing with a camera in front of police dept. for longer than 15 minutes.

    What will police do when there is no more crime? Will they just sit and do nothing? Or will they go after any people which do not agree with them? First they come after criminals, but you are not criminal so you stay quiet. Then they come after child molesters, but you are not one, so you stay quiet. Then they come after punks and people who don't want to be government sheep. But you are not one of them. Then they will have only sheep in society, so they can do as they like, increase their wages, say "there are terrorists who want to hurt you out there, we must still rule to protect you" and in less than 30 years there will be new dictatorship. Of course if you are sheep, who are afraid of terrorists, you will be glad to live in dictatorship, where your children can't have education or good payed job, or just go anywhere they like, because you are not privileged one. They will have crap jobs, no health care, nothing, and they will never become privileged through ingenuity or hard work (typically in current times such people have better). It's like boiling frogs very slowly, but suddenly it's too hot and frogs don't jump out.

    The original concept here is flat fiberoptics-like lens, so you can transport more concentrators in the same space and there will be no misalignment during assembly, because small pv cell is glued onto back of these lens, not held at a distance.

    But the idea of a full, unabridged, complete set of information which describes a real lifeform in full, contains the program of all the life functions, all the complexity of neural system, all the mysteries of instincts and social behaviors, the complexity of senses, the strength, immunity, lifeforce of a powerful creature - all this potential, described as a bunch of files consisting of rows upon rows of letters AGCT (gzipped).

    Yeah, but it takes YEARS to compile! Also if you don't compile it in a networked environment with some of the same nodes, --social-behaviors option is often ignored.

  12. Re:Poetic justice? on Student Satirist Gets 3 Months; the Judge, Likely More · · Score: 1

    Maybe some people just think that feeding and supporting people who commit crimes for the rest of their lives is not really efficient. Instead of lifetime prison there should be just quick painless death, for example by suffocating them with pure nitrogen (it's CO2 which makes you gasp for air).

    On our campus we had two student admins per building and we have managed switch per each two floors (10 floors building). This campus was spread through entire city, so two girls which put one cable to their own small switch in room caused entire MAN to go down. It was isolated in minutes and offending floor turned off. Of course, it's not like huge loss happened, so this story will die soon, I submit it here in hope it thrives and comfort some admins that sometimes things don't go too wrong.

    Apple should really have gone into this market with the release of the original Kindle. Perhaps they still can.

    iPhone should be enough for anybody. Or maybe do you think different?

  18. Re:Here's an idea on Why Sustainable Power Is Unsustainable · · Score: 1

    Your problem is that you believe that you are better at deciding what is good for others than they are themselves...

    Many people don't know what is bad for them in the long run, so they are choosing what is good for them in the short run. As always, extremes considered harmful.
