The airwaves are a government regulated resource which it reserves the right to limit access to at its discretion. Way things are set up, you could quite legally, totally loose access to the airwaves at any time for a verity of reasons. I am fairly confident the constitution protects your right to free speech, not your right to emanate electromagnetic waves at any power level or frequency. One might suggest a 28th amendment establishing that right if it is a major concern. In the end, denying access to wireless communications while inconvenient, does not inhibit the ability to speak, only the ability to disseminate information which isn't a protected right.

You have the right to say, write, or believe what you want. Beyond your mouth, you do not have the right to access the means to tell anyone else.

Remember, you choose to be dependent on your cell phone and the Internet.

I'm enjoying all the people up in arms about the bills which would allow the GOV to have a hand in protecting critical private networks. Everyone is all like BOOO gonna mess it up, gonna take over twitter, gonna nurrrrr. Seriously, you think the corporations HAVE ANY INTEREST WHATSOEVER in protecting their shit!? HELL NO! See its like this, you MAY get hacked and loose money (of some calculated amount), or you WILL loose money if you try to protect it. See, IT costs mucho mula, where as not getting hacked is FREE. You cant make money off your security infastructure so profit driven enterprises are TOTALLY UNINTERESTED in being any more proactive then absolutely necessary to drive the losses due to hacking below the costs to prevent them. For instance, if a power company gets hacked what are their losses? A FEW HOURS OF POWER FEES! They ARE NOT LIABLE for the personal losses caused by people being without power. A few trains collide, the moment they find it was hackers, NOT LIABLE. A few trains collide, the moment they find it was hackers, NOT LIABLE for all the dead people or environmental damage.

You want corporations to do it, make them culpable for damages due to having insecure networks.

GET A CLUE PEOPLE.

Remember that RSA thing, didn't Lockheed get hacked? http://www.dailytech.com/Reports+Hackers+Use+Stolen+RSA+Information+to+Hack+Lockheed+Martin/article21757.htm

Global warming does NOT DIRECTLY EQUAL TO IMMEDIATE INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE. Here is basically why, in a overly simplified and mostly incorrect example. The weather. ocean, biological cycles, etc. are heat engine processes. What happens when you press on the gas in your car? Does it get significantly hotter? No. It just goes faster (unless you have a pos). Ya, it does get a bit hotter but no where near equal to the added energy. True, to have a heat engine you need a differential, which we have, the mass of the crust/ocean/atmosphere itself is a heat sink. Eventually, unlike you car, the average temperature will increase but it will do it very very slowly. For example, if you reduced the cooling to a thermal engine (car depends on intake temperature) the average engine temp would increase and the output would decrease as the system stabilizes at a higher temperature. Our climate will end up doing the same thing and calm back down (sorta), However, in the meantime you can expect bigger storms, more hurricanes, chaotic weather patterns, and generally bigger, stronger, faster weather. A better term is not Global Warming, but Global Climate Change. Forget the concept that its going to get warmer, NONE OF YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE THAT. However, you WILL get to see bigger thunderstorms. And I gotta admit, I do love me a good T-storm.

Fusors are very good sources of neutrons. But the concept of a neutron beam is pretty lulzy. Neutrons have no charge and are unaffected by magnetic fields so good luck shaping that thing. May I recommend,

Kittens provide dual shielding for both radiation and detection, who would ever look under a pile of kittens for a nuclear reactor? Further the kittens will be drawn to the warmth, just provided a constant supply of Thorium, deuterium, and fish. Remember to remove dead kittens otherwise the smell might attract hobos.

I've been working on a FF plugin to address this problem. It's pretty simple. Basically unless you set it otherwise if the http request does not match the domain in the url address bar no cookie is sent. Again, unless you specify otherwise. The important tick is that the new cookie which comes in the response is saved by the plugin and used until you close that window after which its deleted. If enough people use the plugin it should result in a huge amount of semi-valid but ultimately useless tracking data reducing the SNR of their mining operations. Therefor, even people who don't use the plugin will get some protection from those who do. Once my finals are over I'm gonna dump a few weeks of dedicated dev time into this. Hopefully, I'll have it working by end of Feb.
