My opinion is that if these documents are true then Heartland Institute should be dragged across burning hot coals and their stomachs roasted and eaten.

Back when Bush was still in charge I came up with...
George's Electronic Security Transportation and Papers Organization
Agreed. Just buy a SIM card from one of the small shops located almost anywhere. Don't buy it from the malls directly across from the border crossings however. You will get ripped off if you do so. Phones are pretty cheap also if bought from the shops selling SIM cards.
Are we really getting our tax dollars worth with this new upgrade? There seems to be nothing related to hamsters there.
A good Slashdot article would be the history of the title of this article and who got paid to create and spread it.

Actually, you can take your pick if you just want to believe in something without caring if it is verifiable. Choose one that makes you feel good.
Marooned should've been listed as one of the most realistic movies since it almost happened just a few years after the movie was made (Apollo 13).
Saying "the pictures will never be saved" is known as a "Pie Crust Promise" - easily made, easily broken. Here is some interesting reading on similar promises from the government, especially on how the SSN will never be used for identification. http://www.scragged.com/articles/the-plague-of-presidential-pie-crust-promises . The moral is never EVER trust the government .
I remember when they shut down the Apollo program to do this thing it was suppose to be a permanent hopping off point in space to get us out to the other planets and beyond. They never told us it was just going to go around circles just outside the atmosphere and let astronauts perform little science fair experiments and do little else. Basically, I believe now the space station and the space shuttle were just welfare programs for aerospace companies. Now NASA wants to crash it back to earth and loose everything. I don't blame Russia and the other countries wanting to detach their modules and taking them to play elsewhere. If NASA really wants to salvage the space station project, they need to push it to a higher, more useful orbit, and start building some real interplanetary manned (and unmanned) spaceships out there.
Send me some money and I'll tell you all about them. I'll even wear some dark aviator shades and a UFO cap while I do so.
I can almost picture Sony Recipe Corporation and Disney Recipe International suing moms and pops for cooking dinner using pirated recipes...

Really good post. Spells it out exactly so almost anyone can understand what the problem is.
Actually, the expansion of corporate monopolies by use of DRM and DMCA restricts what used to be inalienable rights of both artists and users far more that most people imagine. It is a very dangerous situation right now. Anything to weaken DRM and DMCA is good, at least until the the political process starts working for the people again.
