Raising the cost and removing content from the internet Technology creates content for/by people, which is contrast to dictatorial contend control by media industry. Media wants to control any and all messages, for better profit and control. Basic creative content is guilty until proven innocent. We should not be only consumers. All Humans need want/desire to be producing and sharing.

On the other front:
Because of NDAA, we are all Manning's now
And the saga continues:
Quote:
In a sworn affidavit presented to the Article 32 hearing, the military equivalent of a pre-trial appearance, she said Pte Manning had been "penetrating networks for over a year".
But when Major Kemkes demanded to know how that was possible, given that Pte Manning had only been deployed to Iraq for seven months between October 2009 and May 2010, the special agent admitted: "I can't say for sure that he was doing it for over a year."
When asked whether she was comfortable that an affidavit with mistakes had served as the basis for Private Manning's year and a half pre-trial detention, she said: "That was the information we had at the time."
She also admitted that footage of a 2007 air strike in Iraq, which horrified the world as it showed American helicopters gunning down two journalists, had been falsely described as "classified" when it was not.

_________________ Peace to all, though Justice, liberty, and truth.
Google launched a petition. Wikipedia voted to shut itself off. Senators' websites went down just from the sheer surge of voters trying to write them. NYC and SF geeks had protests that packed city blocks.
You made history today: nothing like this has ever happened before. Tech companies and users teamed up. Tens of millions of people who make the internet what it is joined together to defend their freedoms. The free network defended itself. Whatever you call it, the bottom line is clear: from today forward, it will be much harder to mess up the internet.
The really crazy part? We might even win.
Approaching Monday's crucial Senate vote there are now 35 Senators publicly opposing PIPA. Last week there were 5. And it just takes just 41 solid "no" votes to permanently stall PIPA (and SOPA) in the Senate. What seemed like miles away a few weeks ago is now within reach.
But don't trust predictions. The forces behind SOPA & PIPA (mostly movie companies) can make small changes to these bills until they know they have the votes to pass. Members of Congress know SOPA & PIPA are unpopular, but they don't understand why--so they're easily duped by superficial changes. The Senate returns next week, and the next few days are critical. Here are two things to think about:
1. Plan on calling your Senator every day next week. Pick up the phone each morning and call your Senators' offices, until they vote "no" on cloture. If your site participated today, consider running a "Call the Senate" link all next week.
2. Tomorrow, drop in at your Senators' district offices. We don't have a cool map widget to show you the offices nearest you (we're too exhausted! any takers?). So do it the old fashioned way: use Google, or the phonebook to find the address, and just walk in, say you oppose PIPA, and urge the Senator to vote "no" on cloture. These drop-in visits make our spectacular online protests more tangible and credible.
That's it for now. Be proud and stay on it!

Hey fr33k - you sure that was not a Fang?
Sure wishing you well for that procedure dude!
I too have to go to have an extraction. An old tooth that had mercury in it which I removed a while ago, but alas it did not survive the Hg attack!
So six extractions are a hurdle to survive for sure! Good luck with that!

Eye tooth is a FANG it was my top right canine I hate going to the dentist the guy that did the procedure on (December the thirteenth two thousand and eleven) did a shocking job last time I was there He put the numbing solution on the inside of my mouth and forgot to do the outside then proceeded to stick the needle into my gum in front of the tooth WITHOUT numbing it first while he (the dentist) grabbed my top lip and started wiggling my lip manually with his hand he pushed the needle right up to the edge of my nose, the whole right hand side of my nose went numb, My face ballooned. Then he stuck the needle beside where he previously had numbed yeah you heard me to the side of where he numbed me at this point sweat was running all over my forehead and he stuck the needle in further I felt the needle hit BONE then he took out a "large elevator" and he said "Now I'm going to apply some pressure" Oh my god it felt like he was trying to rip my skull out then he got the root tip elevator out and stuck it either side of the tooth and was thrashing the gum line it felt like the dentist was gouging corkscrew shaped holes in my gum that surrounded the tooth i felt it all it was hideous pain for three (3) Weeks and he says he's going to try and save a tooth on my lower left half of my jaw using a DRILL and making it a composite filling so I get six to eight teeth taken each time and I have to go Back two more times after this first appointment to get the rest taken out except the ten front ones in the lower jaw.

There's a new series premiering on NatGeo: Doomsday Preppers. Interesting.....
Via the National Geographic website: Unique in their beliefs, motivations and strategies, explore the lives of four families preparing for the end of the world as we know it. From bunkers to fortified off-the-grid locations, these doomsday preppers will go to whatever lengths they can to make sure they are prepared for any of life’s uncertainties. And with our expert’s assessment, they will find out their chances of survival if their worst fears became a reality.

Beat me to it, recall!

Indictment Charges Megaupload Site With Piracy
According to a grand jury indictment, Megaupload — one of the most popular “locker” services on the Internet, which lets users anonymously transfer large files — generated $175 million in income for its operators through subscription fees and advertising, while causing $500 million in damages to copyright holders.
Four of the seven people, including the site’s founder Kim Dotcom, born Kim Schmitz, have been arrested in New Zealand, the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation said on Thursday; the three others remain at large. The seven — who a grand jury indictment calls part of a “Mega Conspiracy” — have been charged with five counts of copyright infringement and conspiracy, the authorities said.
The charges, which the government agencies said represented “among the largest criminal copyright cases ever brought by the United States,” come at a charged time, a day after online protests against a pair of antipiracy bills being considered by Congress — the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, in the House, and the Protect I.P. Act, or PIPA, in the Senate.
The indictment was handed down by a grand jury in Virginia two weeks ago, but was unsealed on Thursday, and stems from a federal investigation that began two years ago.
Just so happens that the indictment and arrests were made public on the very same day that some of the Internet went dark.
Right!
And I still believe in the tooth fairy!
Be well, freak!

Interesting question Dex.
I have personally not ever seen evidence of CT's here. I have also never heard it refered to here.
My guess is that we are likely spared to date, else we suffer the drift fallout from elsewhere??!?

Just as well I made a copy of it today then Ruts!!
I kinda like Ron Paul, and maybe it's sympathy - but he always comes across as the last in the queue.
Let trust the young voters of the US give him the nod...
All the other 2 party candidates seem so stuck up. Why did Ron join the Republicans if he was always independant? Or do I have it wrong?

Way to go Sky!
Ron Paul is at heart a Libertarian, and ran as one in 1988. However, as politics are set up in this country it is almost impossible for a third party candidate to win the presidential election, hence Ron Paul is running as a Republican.
Traditionally, the Libertarians and Republicans share a lot of views....on the fiscal conservative side they have much in common. Ron Paul can fit in that part of the Republican party.
it is important to note that Ron Paul has never compromised his beliefs to "fit in" with the Republican Party or with anyone or any group. He is the only member of Congress who has consistently voted his beliefs. He has never voted for a bill that is not in accordance with the Constitution.
Four years ago when he was running for the Republican nomination, he stated with finality that he would not run as a third party candidate. However, I noticed this year that he said he had made no decision on that.
