Anti free market author on The Colbert Report. Watch it just to see his mainline stammer. He's an Indian Thurston Howell.

The Show / Ayn Rand's influence on Harry Browne
« on: August 26, 2009, 08:43:00 PM »
How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World
Afterword to the 25th Anniversary Edition
Section B. Acknowledgements.
Page 288
"I’m particularly grateful for the help I’ve received in years past from Alvin
Lowi and Marian Hall Landers, and from the writings of Murray Rothbard and
Ayn Rand. Since there are significant philosophical disagreements between
myself and these people, please don’t assume that they endorse any specific
viewpoints expressed in this book. There are also others whose past help is
appreciated, but whose ideas are so different from mine that they have asked not
to be named."
Section D. Recommended Reading.
Pages 296-7
"Individualist Philosophy
"Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. “This is the story of a man who said he would
stop the motor of the world — and did,” said Ayn Rand. That motor is human
intelligence. Ayn Rand makes a compelling case for reason and freedom. She
challenges her readers to come to grips with the most fundamental issues of
human life. Agree or disagree with her, but she will make you think. (Random
House)
"The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. A novel of a gifted and original young
architect who must overcome great odds to succeed. This gripping story explores
the meaning of independence, creativity, honesty, and integrity. (Bobbs-Merrill)"
Just throwing that out there.

General / Broadcast FTL url into your neighbor's homes
« on: April 27, 2007, 09:48:57 PM »
I renamed my wireless router's SSID to freetalklive.com. Now when my neighbors view wireless networks in their area they'll see freetalklive.com in their list. (I have mine secured of course.) It's not my idea. I remember a caller suggesting it a few months back.
It got me wondering, could a fake SSID be broadcast (freetalklive.com) over a long range using a high-powered antennae? I know software does exist that allows for broadcasting fake SSIDs. With a longer range, more people would see it in their list and it would be difficult to prove that someone was breaking any FCC regulations. If a person sees "freetalklive.com" while using their computer, they're more likely to be curious and go to the url.
If anyone has ideas on how to do this please post.

General / Laser Graffiti
« on: March 14, 2007, 10:10:23 PM »
Laser graffiti is harmless and fun. I think it would be a very effective tool to promote liberty. Just don't do it Boston or they may shut down the city. If anyone has info on how to obtain the hardware please post.
