And we're in a cyberwar with China, it's just that the American government hasn't realized it yet.

Once / if they manage to strong-arm Google, the other engines will be next. They are all subject to these laws, per CLIN.

they did for .fr, a year ago. CLIN is demanding removal from all directories, planet-wide. Go read Google's reply.

This is along the lines of my idea for modular space exploration probes...I put a brief abstract here on my site. The basic idea is a space-based 3-d printer that also brings along the unprintable probe parts and electronics, and can print out the body of the probes per mission criteria. Also, the electronic packages are in a modular system so we can send out "refuels" of unprintable parts on regular basis so the system can keep on exploring with minimal human interaction for many years.

my firewall can sync to NTP, and then the DC syncs to the firewall.

These aren't just "domain experts", their also highly biased. Many of them flat-out lie and manipulate real science and statistics to "inform" the politicians. If these biases were biased towards humanity that would be one thing, but lobbyists are often promoting whatever their corporate masters are directing them to.

I'm partially pro-gun and completely pro-gay. This defaulted two party system has been completely corrupted and is fundamentally broken. The original framework doesn't require just two parties, but somehow this is the outcome. I suspect this is because the representation system is a "republic" so has limited participation. The "rich elites" where able to game this to just two real "participants", the Republicans and the Democrats. These elites where once actual humans, but are now corporations who's only goal is quarterly profit and the humans are mere puppets. The corporation will do things no one actual human would normally do. Each puppet applies their full creativity to profit with no capability to see a bigger (or moral) picture of eventual outcomes beyond the next quarterly results. If any one person poisoned a river they would be put away, but a corp can do it with nothing but a fine...so the situation is never morally corrected since the fines rarely come close to the amounts of profit.

The US Federal Government should be able to revoke their corporate charter. Throw the DA and crew into a super-max prison. Forced divestiture of the RIAA's clients and assets.

The MPAA seems so blindingly and stupidly evil they might just go ahead and run this campaign anyway, just change it up a bit. Or just claim Google is making all of this up, and sue them to suppress these emails as potentially fabricated.

I'm an American, and I would happily pay for a subscription service to the various BBC channels. As it sits now, the only was people like myself have access to this content is via torrents / pirate streams. The BBC shows are the only content that even registers on my conscious, and "BBC America" just doesn't cut it. I too wouldn't ever want the programming to change from it's Britishness...in fact, that's one of the major reasons I enjoy it is to broaden my cultural knowledge. The amount of income from the potential subscriptions is probably in the millions, and that's just in the USA.

I'm already enjoying much of the content, if I could pay for it I would. The same goes for CBC in Canada, CH4, Space, etc.

Almost all the posters around our building are people in three piece suits. Some people wear track suit pants to work. However, we're not R&D, and no customers ever come to our site. Well, our "customers" are big airlines, and the building itself is on airport property, so those "customers" are always close by. But you need multiple badges and PIN codes to actually get into the Enterprise Command Center. It's also always super cold in there, so no one wears shorts.

But what no one here notices is that this is all about the coming sell-off of HPE. They poured millions into our building, and we never have customers come in there. Enforcing this dress code is another sign. The fact that Whitman will get $91 million if we're acquired is a HUGE RED FLAG. However, this might not be a bad thing if it's not IBM or some other "we outsource everyone" company. We're homing like EMC, maybe even SABRE.

I work for HP E, in the old SABRE building that they just spent millions on re-doing. It's a constant 68 in there, many people have to wear hoodies, wrap themselves in blankets, etc.

install peer guardian and flashblock, then use primewire.ag for all that. Most TV shows are up within an hour of their initial broadcast.

we discussed it anyway, as there was no way for them to monitor it. Thanks for the insult, it's quite useful in a conversation like this for adding information to the subject at hand. And since this state I'm in is "at will", anyone under such a contractual system can be fired for "no stated reason".

usually has a clause explicitly saying we can't discuss our pay with other contractors. I always found this a bit evil, since it's only purpose is to depress wages overall. But if Google doesn't include such a clause in their employment contract, too bad for them.
