Wow, the prices aren't bad either. It certainly beats my USB-drive RAID (which sucked preformance wise, but was otherwise fun). - John Mueller

Interesting to use rpms instead of iops. - Todd Hoff

todd: You mean interesting that the entire industry talks about 5400 / 7200 / 10K rpm drives vs iops or that SanDisk is choosing to use that same terminology? - Ken Sheppardson

What in God's name is going on here!? I am so confused by what is happening to this country? Backstabbing, talking in code, fear of physical harm! I weep in utter helplessness.....*deep breath* Alright, I know I'm sounding exasperated...but seriously...I cannot understand how this remains under the radar except for the uniquely in-tune. Is it not the responsibility for the news media to blow these things up? If Congress does not have an appetite for these fights, they will when the general populace hears. - Victor Vasquez

There..we are! Friendfeed has even Podcast now! Am I missing something or this feature has been around for a while? - Umesh Kakkad

May have??! Torture, domestic spying, all taken as the new norm. Privatization of security and law enforcement to companies like Blackwater. See also Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" for abundant corroboration. - Michael Markman

Very true! By oppressing and controlling American people by violating their constitutional freedoms it gives rise to Oligarchy and Fascism! Terrorists win, Democracy loses! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Mickeleh are you using FF now? - Dave Winer

I have to second the recommendation of "The Power of Nightmares". Worth watching. - Jakub Nešetřil

Thirding "Power Of Nightmares", and while you're on a Curtis tip, catch his "The Trap" and "Century of the Self". - Dave Mee

The end of Internet = The end of SEO - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I doubt it. There's still a large number of sites out there that aren't optimized for indexing as they should be. SEO isn't just about gaming the search engines. It's about making the website as search engine friendly as possible. Until each web developer knows how to optimize their site, there will be market for SEOs. - Jason Shultz

Have to agree with Jason here. Trying to trick the SEs is a short term and potentially expensive strategy. If you have good quality content that people are searching for, SEO is about sure the SEs can find it. Winelibrary has had some good SEO advice, and is nearly 10 years old with 80,000 backlinks. Most businesses can't wait that long to be found. - Jim Stewart

Was the transformer looking menacing at the time? - Damien Franco

This is what happens when you put poorly defined rules in the hands of an underachiever with a double-digit IQ and an inferiority complex. What's next? Requiring passengers to be fully anaesthetised when they fly? - Andrew Terry

no matter what I wear ... my full name always gets me SSSS on my boarding ... - Raza from Alert Thingy

dont mind them, just transform away! - Alemsah Ozturk from Alert Thingy

this sounds like USSR in last years of its existence... tho, for me all *Western world* in general looks as "USSR in last years of existence" -- all this crisis from mil overpsending, problems with wars abroad, domestic idiots en masse, etc - A. T.

In the UK now, a picture of something is the same as the thing itself. It's the law. - Michael Randall from twhirl

@michael, what have we become? - Tyler Gillies

Next time come to acquire the tickets wearing a t-shirt with money. A picture of money. - 9000

Maybe because it was Optimus Prime.. If it had been Bumblebee, Britain's favorite and most fuel-efficient Autobot, you'd be OK... - Chris Reed

Whoah. The British government is getting more retarded with every passing day. This makes the James Bond movies even more unreal than they were. - Raoul Pop

I wouldn't want you on my plane- your clearly a dangerous terrorist who is going to take us down with your shirt gun. - Chris Hollander

Well first they have to make the thing illegal. Then they have to make a fake representation of the thing illegal. Then they have to make talking about it illegal. Then they have to make a picture of the thing illegal. Only THEN can they make the picture in your head illegal. You can't expect to implement thoughtcrime overnight, people! - Karim

Some bits of the UK system are a bit weird at the moment, we've got councils 'spying on individuals right now' - http://is.gd/oLt - Andy Davies

Now covered by the BBC and more: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2... http://news.google.co.uk/nwshp... - Simon

More than meets the eye... - Clare Dibble

Anesthetizing travlers pre-flight would solve all sorts of problems. Plus you could stack 'em up like cordwood, get lots more passengers on each flight. - Jason Wehmhoener

Jason: Cory Doctorow once suggested the same thing on a podcast (TWiT, or Mac Break Weekly, maybe) He called it something like Ninja Airlines. A ninja would shoot you with a tranquilizer dart, pack your stuff, and put you on the plane. Once you arrived, he'd give you the antidote and slip out the window before you completely came to. - Ha3rvey #teamMonique
