Wikipedia will be destroyed when governments figure out that they can control what is and is not "authorized popular truth". Wikipedia doesn't stand up for truth, it only seeks to be based upon the data sources, even when we all know they

Ive dated 2 girls with cats, both of them turned out to be very crazy. Cats are a deal breaker for me. Crazy cat lady isn't the exception, its the rule. The ladies will argue about this to no end, don't waste your time, they are crazy.

If we can't censor at the dns level because of protesting, maybe we can get some tsa like government agencies to oversee internet security. Start it simple and meaningless, give it a nice name like "sharing" and "information". It will pas

I hope they can make learning biology, calculus and programming as hours-consuming addictive as modern first person shooters are to teenagers.

I do not agree with the statements of the troll but will defend his right to say it. The internet is making the world like a small town. Piss on people on the internet will be like pissing on people in line at Walmart. You can, but peopl

Autonomous cars will cause traffic jams to worsen as the burden of driving becomes much less. More people will be playing xbox gladly sitting in traffic in a town with 50 million other people in a 50 mile radius. if we could get rid of tr

Good terms with the federal reserve? Im not sure if I should feel bothered that the entity that can make tens of trillions of dollars appear out of thin air likes a certain startup. What I see is a federal reserve that realizes green sli

Censoring the Internet should be demonized and ridiculed as people using botnets to ddos sites. Its the same thing really, getting a bunch of people together and deciding something should be unavailable to everyone without including the ju

It would be nice if dns would tell us when the dns routing has been tampered with and or censored. We won't be able to stop governments from routing legitimate requests to dev/null, maybe we can at least deliver a report to the requester:

The internet is like the audible spectrum in air, it doesn't need "cleaning up" through censorship. It's not about porn or saving the children or objectionable content at all. It's about saying: "This internet, and all the bits that flow

Given the average lifespan of a human on earth today (around 67), and the average population growth rate (somewhere between 1 and 2%), it causes an acceleration in the number of humans living and being born. The notion that this growth is u

The FBI is using a 40 year old technology that can be hacked by whistling 2600 hz into a phone and get all bent out of shape when someone records it? sounds like an agenda to setup the stage to get censorship back on the table. The FBI wan

Too big to fail... too small to fail... Doublethink is everywhere! Reading phrases like these makes me feel like a hashmap is being crammed into a boolean. All these people can fail! It's like people are intentionally trying to cause con

The problem is that terrorism is a strategy that America also uses in war. Calling the terrorists evil because they blow up civilians in another country is calling war evil. Its the double-think and hypocritical nature of the word I don't

Terrorism is a military tactic, saying "you are a terrorist" is about as meaningless as saying: "You are a right flank", "You are a military operation" and "You are a deployed F16 bomber". It's this double speak and new-think that is damag

Wow. Freedombox is exactly what im looking for. You could put a secondary dns system on it which can't be fiddled with by ISP's and oppressive governments. My freedom box could reach out to nearby freedom boxes to find the quickest route

Congress wants tax revenue on websites hosted in foreign countries. The website hosting the site will be taxed on click through and the Web will have more "this site is not available in your country" messages. This is how net neutrality d

The sopa fight is about forcing Congress to use court proceedings and due process to take down sites, not to justify any possible site. The important thing is that guilt is being determined in a building before sentence is given. With sop
