What is in the plan so far?

the plan so far is to hold onto the computer.. whistle:

A cunning plan ~ in fact, a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a fox!

Also, we went to a great restaurant in Brooklyn which was actually under Brooklyn Bridge – great views of the city and an excellent Sunday brunch.
Also. Birdland if you like Jazz.
A walk around Soho is lovely.
Central Park is a must.
Grand central station is awesome.
We did The Empire State Building for the grand view although I wish we’d done the twin towers now.

We rounded the trip off by flying home ion 3hrs 19 minutes on this – but I ‘spec that is out of the question too… noooo:

I went to Yellowstone Park where they have these eco-loo things – basically a seat over a great big hole in the ground…
They arrested this guy whose ‘hobby’ was to climb-in the aforementioned great big shite filled hole in the ground and take pictures of ladies using the facilities…

Very doubtful Snoops - especially when you recall the history of its development. Mainly done by US Military (following Vietnam fiasco) and University geeks. It was never going to turn out to be something that could be controlled was it? Dis-affected ex-servicemen and stoned out students (both of whom by their nature detest government and government control) - they're hardly going to design something that said government could control.
China, IIRC, tried to control it, but forgot that any multinational (or other organisation for that matter) with a computer link out of China that's not part of the official post office (think satellites etc.) will form a bridge for the protocol to use to bypass any restrictions elsewhere.
It really is quite neat the way TCP/IP is capable of finding a way to get where it needs to!

You are, of course, right but it never ceases to amaze me that someone thinks it worthwhile, for example, to photograph and upload pictures of used toilets. What pleasure does the poster derive from his/her activity?

Perhaps he feels that he is performing a service to the public at large by warning them of something they probably already know - to whit: most bogs in public establishments leave a lot to be desired.
Still, as you say . . .
