The Panopticon of Jeremy Bentham is an architectural figure which "incorporates a tower central to an annular building that is divided into cells, each cell extending the entire thickness of the building to allow inner and outer windows. The occupants of the cells . . . are thus backlit, isolated from one another by walls, and subject to scrutiny both collectively and individually by an observer in the tower who remains unseen. Toward this end, Bentham envisioned not only venetian blinds on the tower observation ports but also mazelike connections among tower rooms to avoid glints of light or noise that might betray the presence of an observer."
The Panopticon thus allows seeing without being seen. 'Such asymmetry of seeing-without-being-seen is, in fact, the very essence of power for Foucault because ultimately, the power to dominate rests on the differential posession of knowledge'".
"According to Foucault, the new visibility or surveillance afforded by the Panopticon was of two types: The synoptic and the analytic. The Panopticon, in other words, was designed to ensure a 'surveillance which would be both global and individualizing'"
Off the record, i'm pretty sure his opinion won't matter... but you know, keep it on the down low.

I just thought it'd be a nice SOCOM idea. Just have everybody talk like westerners on the headset and shoot with the oldest model rifles and be like "GET ON LIL' DOGGY RAW HIDE"
I just noticed that jailed people dont lose their homepage buttons and they may or may not lose their IM contact buttons. I suggest that they lose everything except their PM and profile buttons for the duration of their jailing.
I agree 100%. And that fucktard (you know who I mean) proves exactly why.
Either that, or people need more self control. I've been here since early September, and I haven't once started a thread. This guy makes ten kajillion, gets jailed and decides to make 18 more.
All that on top of the fact that people keep requesting shitty, shitty songs on Gaming FM makes Alucard one angry guy tonight! Yargh!

There are only two people that I'll be a deputy/assistant to, Whippy and R7X3. Course R7 doesn't visit the boards anymore and lost his mod powers.
I hope that answered one of your older questions, Ramius.
