Privacy

If you want real privacy, cut up your credit cards, move out of your home, give up your cell phone, quit your job, your college classes and never go to school ever, live in a cave and eat nettles. Otherwise there isn't any privacy if Barack Obama is having his phone hacked. If he is being hacked as president elect then there is no hope of privacy for any educated person on Earth.

Privacy is only now for the uneducated, the starving, the people who live in caves and never ever went to school and live in 3rd world countries and don't even wear clothes often.

Though this is very sad to say it looks like there isn't privacy for ANY educated person on earth anymore.

fiction?

And if I understand this right, any planet with all life forms on board can be converted to a complex logarythm and put into a computer so if the planet nukes itself out of existence or gets destroyed for any reason it can then easily be duplicated down to the last atom of the last bug on the last tree in the middle of the last river leading to the last ocean on earth.

This only make me long for the 18th century when life was cheaper but way more simple!
