There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | From what I understand, the CueCat encrypts the data it scans. The modified, or declawed, versions have that encryption removed. They are very cheap...I found them for under £7.00 at the UK ebay. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | See the Wikipedia entry on the CueCat. Especially the first paragraph under "Commercial Failure." An unmodified CueCat has a unique serial number which people believed would be a potential privacy risk for users -- so people began to "declaw" the device so it wouldn't send that serial number to the Internet. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
