Some might see this as a smack in the face to Linus, but I say this is what open source is all about. Someone has a good idea, and someone else takes the idea and improves it. Bravo.

Why would you release such an abomination? Do we REALLY need more tools to track us? The ONLY good thing that can come of this is that browser developers see this, and finally realize that people don't want to be tracked, and do something serious to stop it.

The only way that I could see a movie/album/song fail today BECAUSE of piracy is that it was terrible to begin with, and had REALLY good marketing before it was released. Such a movie might be able to make decent money on opening day despite being terrible, but if enough people see it before then, and it is no good then the word-of-mouth might kill it earlier than it would have been otherwise. I guess then what is still causing the movie to fail is not piracy even in this case, but that it is terrible. I've seen a few bootleg copies of movies before, and the only ones that I didn't see in theaters were ones that were either terrible, or ones that I had had no intention of see in theaters even before watching it.

I will frequently do little things like play games while waiting for a software install or something to help me stay focused on the task, and keep my brain from losing focus and just floating internally. I would much rather a pilot play Minesweeper or whatever, than just sort of space out on that 10 hour flight where he is just sitting there.

This sounds more like a care of civil disobedience and protest. As long as he didn't encourage people to threaten the judge, I don't see anything wrong here. If your filters can't handle this, sounds like a personal problem. How many times have you heard something like, "Let your voice be heard. Contact your local Representative, Senator, etc.?"

EASY solution. Make it illegal to market prescription medication to consumers. Patients should not be going to their doctors asking for drugs. Doctors should be making diagnoses, and prescribing the appropriate drug for the patient's condition. It's dishonest and dangerous.

Get a Mac Mini with OS X Server on it, and call it a day, then you can do more management.

I would absolutely use a small projector on my phone. It would be great for sharing info, and would help with augmented reality apps. It also allows you to get outside of the limitations of a tiny screen. You could even use it as a replacement for a screen, and make the phone the shape of a pen that folds out with a screen that the interface gets projected onto. This is the next step, I think.

Sure. Have 2 conductive plates separated by an insulator. Each one should be connected to the circuit in the manner of a switch. Make sure that you have redundant circuitry in case a bullet hits a vital part of the circuitry. If the plate is compromised, then it will likely cause a connection, and subsequent triggering. Alternately, you could use a thin container of mercury which when compromised, would spill out and complete the circuit. Dear DHS/FBI, I am not a bomb maker, just a geek that likes to think about problems and hypothetical engineering like this, and express it through his First Amendment right of free speech. Please leave me alone, as I have NO intention of making/using a bomb (baring the odd firecracker or bottle rocket). I am not a threat, and I do not need to be dragged from my house in my underwear, and interrogated for hours on end. There is nothing to see here. Thank you, Ustice
