Dangerous transactions: Abortion-inducing tablets sold online
JEANNE sat with her two-month-old baby at a fastfood restaurant in a mall in Caloocan City, looking like a regular customer. In reality, she was there to make a sale, and waiting for a client to pick up the merchandise. The client walked in, approached her and forked over P1,250. Jeanne then handed over a small plastic bag containing the merchandise the client ordered from her through a web site.

The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers

The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers

2009. USA. Directed by Rick Goldsmith, Judith Ehrlich. Goldsmith and Ehrlich carefully trace the story of Daniel Ellsberg, a Pentagon analyst in the 1960s under Robert McNamara, and how he came to leak the Defense Department”s Pentagon Papers, a classified study on America’s 25-year involvement in Vietnam that revealed critical truths withheld from the public through several presidencies. This engrossing film, made up of archival broadcast footage and interviews with Ellsberg and others, reveals why Ellsberg made the decisions he did and how the Nixon Administration sowed the seeds of its own destruction by going after both Ellsberg and the nation’s press. The film, which was nominated for a 2009 Academy Award, has become freshly relevant amid the ongoing Julian Assange/WikiLeaks saga and renewed debates about government secrecy and the conflict between “national security” and the public’s right to know. New Day Films. 94 min.

Question by iNeedhelp♄: How do I get my Web Security Guard to automatically block a dangerous website instead of asking me what to do?
Sometimes, a website tries to redirect me to another site or download something which is dangerous & the Web Security Guard pops up a message asking me if I want to block it, get more info on the site, or allow it.
Ofcoarse, I have to press “block it”, but how can I get it to automatically block it without having to ask me whether I want to or not, if it is possible.

Please help me. Thank you for your answers.

Question by bad_ambassador: Is there a point where advancement in science and technology becomes dangerous? Are we already there?
Hi.
There are many little topics to consider here I think.
I’ll list a couple that are on my mind, but please feel free to add your own ideas and thoughts.

1) The internet is vast already. And it seems like it is only going to expand in the future. It is also becoming available to more people. Is it dangerous to provide a means of instant communication to the common man who may take advantage of it? You may find instructions on how to build a bomb online, for example.

The internet also connects everyone who has a computer (or a cell phone!) to everyone else who has one. Hacking presents a pretty big security risk, I think. This being said, though, we all know it is probably impossible, not to mention stupid, to “get rid of” the internet. But there may come a point where limiting access to sites becomes necessary.

2) I also wanted to mention medical advances, and how we want to keep extending our lives. Could this create overpopulation or something? Thanks

no, we were there in late 40′s when we invented nuclear weapons.

1. Computer safety is a billion dollar market with several firms competing in it, so they will be able to respond to any threat.

2. We could support 10 billion people with _current_ agricultural technology. And we are only at 6 billions now, and technology keeps developing.

There is a problem tho – dumbing down of population, as demonstrated by Bush presidency and Toad’s post below me.
