"Bees make honey..."

Yes, we are worker bees.

Anyone play "The Secret World"? It's a Funcom MMO that is obviously designed to drive users to Google. Mission that don't have enough information to complete them are common. You literally cannot complete some missions without Google.

In this game, Bees are the analog of Google--they are everywhere and are integral to the theme of the game. Every transport hub has bees flying and buzzing everywhere. The idea is to get us to conflate our actions with being a worker-bee. We make honey for them, not us, or so they would have us believe.

"Next time one is deleted you will be able to prove it."

That does nothing to prevent, or prove, other methods of stifling dissent--moderation abuses.

I've been posting the following in several places at once--AFTER I watched the first one get modded up to +5, and almost instantly (less then 30 seconds) go back to +1)--and every single time...it gets modded up, then back down and then, once the body of the post is no longer visible, STAY THERE.

So, fuck you, Dice. Here goes again.

The kind of information they are trying to stop flowing...by intentionally killing Slashdot .

"Dice gets most of their income from companies like Microsoft, Apple etc who pay for their products to receive favorable and frequent attention."

Do not forget Google (How many GoogleGlass Articles this week?).

"Stay strong people..."

Can I be in your next movie? I want to be as FUCKed as BETA. /.

Since I cannot add this much to my signature, and the fact that signature isn't visible unless you are a logged-in user, this will have to do...

Title says it all. Is this recent?

I kinda feel I've been told to shut up. :(

"Dice, do you have the slightest inkling of what you are about to destroy?"

Yes, they know exactly what they are about to destroy.

President of Shmuckovia (yelling from the presidential balcony): "People! People! Relief is here! I am taking the extraordinary measure of canceling the debt of the People! All debts are null and void! No longer will you be crushed by debt as a result of..."

President's Advisor (in hushed and secretive tone): "My President! What are you doing! This is just a peace rally! Gah! We're doomed, you fool!"

President of Shmuckovia (obviously confused): But...but...I HAD TO DO SOMETHING! You said the peasants were revolting!"

Spiegal Online apparently did a full release of images from each of the two document leaks--far more complete than the Wikipedia pages.

Scroll down for the images and "straight from the horse's mouth" descriptions of capabilities.

Example---"NIGHTSTAND: Portable system that wirelessly installs Microsoft Windows exploits from a distance of up to eight miles" (I have a feeling it's been updated for Win7/8 by now)

http://leaksource.files.wordpr...

And....the guys developing and putting to use these capabilities.

http://leaksource.wordpress.co...

Make sure to check out the links at the bottom of that last page.

"BTW, that same database the cops used to stalk other cops? Also used to stalk political candidates."

And that is just the databases that the cops are allowed to use.

Did anyone pay attention to the full contents of the latest Snowden document release, aside from the Angry Birds articles that The Guardian and The New York Times focused on? There was significantly more important information in the latest leak. Mind-blowing, really.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N...

THINK about these capabilities. When you start taking into account such things as RF/Pulsed communication technologies built into the electrical grid, and combine them with the technologies listed in the latest leak, the true extent of surveillance is far more than most people would imagine possible.

Now you know why Google recently purchased Nest--sensing technology that can be tied directly into existing Landis-Gyr communications.

This isn't future tech, it's already out there and has been for awhile.

"...and then having to dig through your memory to try to remember who they are (failing miserably) while acting like you know exactly who they are."

I'd rather trust my own memory then out-source it.

For fuck sake people, are you listening to yourselves? This is a corporation literally trying to turn people into mobile data gathering devices. You are either deluding yourself about your own level of intelligence, or suffer from a serious lack of morality, if you think any of this is acceptable. Every person on this planet values privacy to some degree--What, exactly, do we really get in exchange for the loss of this privacy? Knowledge we could get by simply asking that person?

THINK, PEOPLE. If history is any sort of an indicator, any rights we sell today, our children must buy back with blood.

Not picking sides, but there is an awful lot of bullshit in this thread--from both sides of the table.

On another note, anyone notice that almost all of the many train derailments that have occurred since the first Snowden leak have happened directly on top of rail switches?
