It it wasn't Google, it would be some other entity. A lot of the
futuristic science fiction I used to enjoy featured miniaturization,
sensors, and surveillance. Tiny self-powered bots, powerful optics, EM,
quantum, and nuclear resonance imaging. Machine intelligence. Privacy is
an illusion.

Sorry to bump, but now *another* DST fkup: Europe does not change DST when
the US does.
So today our skype Italian class was shifted, and both Dede and I had to
cancel scheduled events.
If we have to live with time changes, we should at least try to make it

From long experience with FRIAM I have learned that it is best not to be
lofty and wrong at the same time. Lofty, occasionally? Wrong, often! But
never lofty AND wrong.

I use the Ghostery plugin with Firefox at home and work to control 3PES as
they call them. Between that, NoScript, and Request Policy, I feel relatively
secure. Of course, if I want to see web-pages the way the authors intended, I
have to do a lot of NoScript and Request Policy exceptions.

I think it's more a feature of the openness of thought (and, for the
realists among us, the openness of the universe). People tend to run
with their own thoughts, regardless of whether the foundations of those
