Just had to point out how appropriate this xkcd is:

He's not slow, he just hasn't finished the "quitting AOL" exit process. You know the one where you had to all but get a court order from a Judge for AOL to acknowledge and cancel your subscription ..

Except that this is Slashdot, and nobody here thinks that the summary has anything to do with the commentary on whatever blog reposted (and likely mutilated) the original link. We just come here to express mutual outrage at the politics today.

And the difference between getting chipped and getting fingerprinted is?
At least getting fingerprinted allows me a few liberties that getting chipped wouldn't. How long before marketing droids would simply take your chip information and start pigeonholing you into a demographic ripe for whatever they want. It's just too Gattaca / 1984 for me.

Cable Television, a subscription to HBO, AND care about a particular TV show.

I'll offer a translation without all the buzzwords:

1) ?

2) ?

3) ?

4) ?

5) ?

6) ?

So I offer a solution: run it through the xkcd rng, and select that number.
If I'm not mistaken, "exemplify tomorrow's best technology, today." is the appropriate answer. Sadly, I have no idea what that means. Call the marketing department, or better yet, don't.

I have to point out the "recommended" story at the bottom of the page ..

No, the FBI seized the mayfirst.org servers.

This needs to be said again and again, until it is heard.

If a business wants their corporate viewpoint heard in government, they need to encourage their employees, clients/customers, and distributors to vote in their favor, rather than simply throwing money at the problem.

I'm fine with making a political statement, but please refrain from movements while nude at the screeners. That sh*t's got to stop someplace - use the restroom first.
