We used to have a few ocean kayaks like that. Except ours were red. They were pretty fun, especially wave surfing in them.

That kayak probably costs a lot more.

Really? $800.- to hire a Kayak for a few hours? For that kind of money, it better have a built-in mini-bar and miniature golf course.

This shit really pisses me off.

It is true and not true. All at the same time.

What is it that the MEDIA wants the world to concentrate on?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-ch ... a-17878744#

If, the above link is good, then, the American's want to keep one of China's Activists.

I am one of The US's Activists. I would like to propose a swap.
The US takes him into protection and China takes me into protection.

Good idea? I totally would like to have China's protection.

I don't have much time. How would I contact them? Who are they?

China is a place. It is a place with a long history. And a Rich Future. They have been busy, behind the Bamboo Curtian. I hope.

Who is the Hero in your story? The Chinese Guy or the Purple and Blue and kind of spotted old woman. See?

The top stories today has a Chinese Guy that disagrees with his Nation.
There is no top story about the American Woman that disagrees with her Nation.

Is that sexist? Wrong thread?

I, maybe, fixed the link.

Okay, I've read a little bit of context in this bill. I dunno the full details of everything, but I am not necessarily against FBI working with private industry to crack down on malware threats. Furthermore, as mentioned in that "get around the law" business, it seems like businesses and FBI are doing this anyway. So its best if we actually did get a legal framework correct to do this correctly.

Basically, there is a virus threat in this country, and in many cases... the industry (ie: Microsoft, McAffee, etc. etc.) know more than the government on specific attacks. Encouraging the sharing of information between industry and government is a good thing.

Writing a law that formalizes the process is also a good thing.

This law as written isn't necessarily good, but I think I'm supportive of the general idea of what they're going for. There are major privacy concerns... but I'll have to go through the bill a few times before I can form an opinion on it. Anyone have thoughts on the technicalities?

I have thoughts. I think that I would like the US and China to swap. That man for me.

The US can protect him from China. China can protect me from the US.

You seem to be our little Pro US guy. How do you think a thing like that is done?

Did you mean this for the CISPA thread? Though I suppose a virus threat and privacy concerns could also make sense in this thread.

What is this thread about?!

The indiscretions of powerful people from the US while those same people are in other counties?

Whew Hew! We have a great deal of material that can be poured onto this thread.

Secret Service? Well; What is the secret? Honest prostitution? Or; Something else?

I would bet on Something else.
