Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do as we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you! - Bill hicks
They took the server, convinced it that it wanted to take over the US' arsenal of nuclear weapons to blow up Russia in an attempt to destroy humanity when in reality it just wanted to play a game of chess. With this information the FBI took the server and claimed they thwarted another "cyberthreat" proving the need for CISPASOPAPITAPATASATA
1) I am scared that they actually have it so bad right now where they can't tell if its under copyright or not
2) That they have waited this long to try and organize it digitally
3) That their IT staff can't use google to look up "document management solutions" to see if something exists already or not. (it does, if Have set large scale systems up for state government before there is even some really good solutions that can make them searchable securely through a website to make it easier for the public.)
The big cost in this will be to get a temp workforce to get it all scanned in and organized then train the people who will be doing it from this point forward. Though they will most likely hire a company that will bring in an offshore contracting company to do that part
I am an inventor, I build the best mousetrap and roach motel. 10 years from now due to some radiation leakage, Mice and Roaches team up and plot the destruction of the world. They have outsmarted your mouse trap. Now what do we do? OH! Someone has come up with a way to make it so the trap you made, with a minor change, will save the human race from eternal servitude from the Mice and Roaches of this world. Doh! They can't produce it because a Roach in the form of an IP lawyer comes out and says "INFRINGEMENT!!! ZOMG!! PAY UP!!!" Well this poor inventor that came up with a way to better the mouse trap now can't because the guy who invented the original died to an early invasion force of cute and cuddly pet mice and so a IP bully bought the patent for a hunk of cheese. Look! Now the world is destroyed (from a human point of view)!
Wasn't SC:II supposed to be that way too but they added a way to go around that because people complained? I know there is nothing I can't do with SC:II now if I am not online. I just have to play with myself...wait..bad wording..but you know what I mean.
"Indeed. From here on out, there shall be no battle between "good" and "evil" on this site... though I'm sure some might reasonably consider our comment section to be exactly that at times."
So now we will war on "Common Sense" (good, techdirt) vs "Moronistic Values" (evil, big content)
What will be their battle cry? "OH NO!! WE SUCK AGAIN!"
I am noticing more and more "Sky is falling" senerios from reps who are supporting the bill or are voting for the bill...like OMG FOX BUSINESS WEBSITE MIGHT GET HAXORED!" from Mrs bachman...just...wow...really?
I had a fresh tomato this morning with my breakfast. Would my life be the same if I had not the tomato? Yup! See my life is made up of many things and yes, a good deal of things are on line. I have made lifetime friends thanks to these social sites. I have a friend who took me in when I lost my job and had no where to live because I had not enough to pay my rent. I had another one who let me borrow his car when mine died so I could hunt for a job. if not for our online lives, we would be less of what we are today. We would be less informed and be reliant on News that can be overly bias and feeds us nothing but propaganda. We would have a government that would have an easier time hiding these laws they keep trying to push to make rich people richer and so on. The online world is how this generation is growing up. The online generation is learning to be more accepting because as large as the planet is, a Kid in Bostong, MA can connect with a kid in Costa Rica and understand that this kid is no different, so why should i hate him because of the color of his skin or the accent in his voice? Seriously, I will be the first online generation-er to say this...GET OFF MY CYBERLAWN!!!
