On Wednesday, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DARPA will begin awarding contracts for the design and implementation of a Total Information Awareness TIA system. And I wonder how many of those working on this system will be Chinese, Pakistani, and Indian, all here in the US on H1-B visas?

peta- a combining form used in the names of units of measure equal to one quadrillion (1015) of a given base unit. Now that is bit more than my first computer....

The only people that make me nervous are panty-waist cowards willing to give the government unlimited power so they can can feel safe. Words to live by, and my sentiments exactly..

Now, last, but definitely not least, if you thought the logo for the Babylon project was good A funny thing happened on the way to JPL one fine day to a rocket scientist by the name of Jack Parsons...

The only people this should make nervous are the murderous terrorists.
Then apparently, you've never heard of Vince Foster, Jim Hamilton, Danny Casalaro, Systematics aka Altel or the terms Octopus, INSLAW, and PROMIS software

But is it TRULY tin foil? The facts revolving around Jack Parsons, a renowned JPL scientist, and the "Babylon Working" are INDEED true..

IN any event, DARPA was either playing a little joke with everyone or they weren't. I'm not so naive as to think the former.
To: Who dat?
I’ll bet they didn’t know as much then as I known now. I’ll bet I don’t know one one-hundredth of what is to be known. I wouldn't take that bet. She was the valedictorian. Her thesis was sealed.
They knew who she was, what she stood for, and what she was likely to do.
Now, ask yourself: Why, if they did know, was she allowed to proceed without intervention?
That's why your preference for such a computer system is so foolish. It's already in the wrong hands. Under Bush's "No child left behind" initiative, every child in America has a growing dossier. It's already happening and may be too late to stop.

Why don't you point out in your pretty little picture you posted exactly what the author of the article is referring to then, since you obviously know what you're talking about. What is it exactly that you can't understand here? Is it that you need glasses?
The article is a lie.
Perhaps you want us all to think that. Do you think it best that we ignore this and keep our fingers crossed?
The info on DARPA and the info you posted show nothing that relates to what the author is ranting about.
And how do you figure that?
NYTimes, says it all.
Favorite propaganda trick of all time, smear and discredit the messenger.
To: FreeReign
But...but, but the posters up and down this thread trust the NYTimes.... But, but, we're all supposed to trust someone on FR by the name FreeReign instead?
Do you actually mean that the NYTimes is not a freedom fighting publication and that they would actually print false information?
Obviously you didn't ever hear of the OSI. It don't exist anymore, honest..
The propaganda office is closed, honest, says the Pentagon
To: Sandy
RedBlooded is simply either in denial or in the process of "plausible denial".
To: FreeReign
To: FreeReign
From your profile, you appear to be a very different person than whom I see posting here on this thread. Are you the REAL FreeReign?
To: rs79bm
Oh, Horseshit!
I suppose everyone should just live in a see-through house and wear transparent clothing to be sure nobody is hiding anything.
These proposals are un-American and anti-freedom in themselves.
We won't tolerate any foreign dictators; we'll just create some homegrown ones.
M.Y.O.B. used to be a very god policy; I believe it still is !

There is already such a computer system in place. The job was contracted to Arthur Anderson. The "excuse" that time was to track "deadbeat dads", but the database includes anyone with a job, with or without children, 16 or 90 years of age. Since put in place, this computer system has been used for a whole lot more than "tracking deadbeat dads".
