Here's a new idea of measure: "and justice for all." I won't quote the rest of it. That might be considered treasonous...

Four? Were you from? It better be at least 6 studs at 96"...

So I was living on the streets in Fort Collins around the early 2000's, and this is were Colorado State University is. I managed to convince the staff at some college buildings like the library and gym that I was a computer science graduate science student. It was great, I had the run of the place, and when I came in a little worse from the wear of the streets, they believed it was just a air-headed geek with his thoughts in the air having slept in his cloths again, LOL. Social engineering is a useful tool at times, and that experience lasted 2001-2005, BTW.

That's true. Brain wave scanning to achieve a result or goal is here now, just not in the mainstream yet.

That's just a toy. And if that's a toy, the military types have significantly more than toys. Anybody ever read the Soul Rider series? In the end, life may again mimic art once we start controlling computers directly with the mind...

Naw, he just likes white meat...;-)

For $20 you can go down the street to the trailer park and get two dime bags of bathtub crank in most communities. Or your friendly neighborhood Rx dealer can hook you up with the real deal, Benzedrine tabs, and those can be crushed and snorted. So why are we dicking around with caffeine?

Yes, on I-25 rolling between Cheyenne and Denver. There's other cues... I usually get way ahead, LOL!

The more prevalent ones on that stretch of Interstate, however, are Yucca Flats bound trucks with 3-4 containers of nuclear waste. Those are obvious, because the containers have the radioactivity symbol in big bold yellow on them.

I don't drive for a living anymore, but the last time I did some driving work, about a month ago, there was one Yucca Flats truck southbound on the stretch. So I bet there many more than one a day from that observation.

All this can go on Freenet and SOPA / PIPA / CHUPA PINGA style legislation can go pack sand. Freenet isn't susceptible to some of the legal attacks so far presented, hence why there is nasty shit there always. But as a medium for free exchange of information, it is bar none, due to that inability to be censored! Sad that more don't hook up. But SOPA / PIPA and the shutdown of file sharing sites will insure that Freenet gets more users.

I actually try that xkcd password now on any word list I use. First...;-)

That approach is Diceware, BTW,

Thanks! Nothing like an early morning roll on the floor with tears in the eyes...

Just what one needs to image the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. If they can get the timing right, between this set of 4 telescopes operating as one, the Keck telescopes in Hawaii, and the Spitzer IR Space Telescope, we could have a virtual telescope in the IR band that is easily 30,000 km wide.

Btw: This idea increased spatial resolution using very long baseline interferometry is why it would be worth a few billion dollars to send multi-spectral moderate aperture telescopes to the L4 & L5 points, IMHO.

Conversely, if electromagnetic radiation is getting out, electromagnetic radiation can get in.

If the computer program can detect the electrical brain signals corresponding to a word, then the reverse algorithm can send electromagnetic radiation to the brain that mimics the signal corresponding to the word. If strong enough, that could override naturally occurring electrical signals in the brain.

Those tin hat guys may be on to something...;-)

So has anybody heard any news lately about DOJ and IRS investigations of banks in Switzerland being used as tax havens?

Just a thought to get the rabble thinking deeper. Realpolitik is sometimes like that 3D Star Trek chess game combined with submarine warfare.

There is NOTHING that can defend against the failure of the wetware in the system architecture...

Good idea, so they fly a flag of convenience, like the Liberian, as many commercial vessels already do. Most vessels that fly no flag are pirate vessels...
