Too late.

Don't you recognise me? I'm the one who sits at the back with the tape recorder and the big notepad ;)

Yeah I know what you mean. I have a few members of my class who happily say they want to be party members. Probably some more who do and don't say it. When I first got here a fellow teacher told me to look out for the student who turned up to every class and took more notes than anyone else ;)

The Student tutor who all the students go to if they have any issues is a fully paid up card carrying member, so I do watch what I say around him.

So far I've not had anyone bring up the 3 T's but I've had one guy talk about wanting to go to England and the US as they are "freedomlands". I just gently change the conversation. For all I know he's one of the commies testing me ;)

bring new meaning to the phrase "This is a stick up!"

Because at least then I have a free hand to hold the steering wheel whilst I'm smoking a cigarette/eating some food/applying my makeup.

FR!

this much is true, but at least all the DIY lawyers on slashdot will be there to represent them ;)

if the people writing exploits for these security holes wrote a worm that once it had got onto a computer patched the exploit and then detached?

You could call it Good Samaritan Computing or something ;)

Waited for a poll relevant only to North Americans?

A leech on the rest of society? Wow isn't that going a bit far?

How about someone who doesn't block adverts but just never clicks on them?

That's what I do. Unless they're on my own site of course ;)

.. who read that as "modchip AIDS patients"?

Of course, but the prevailing wisdom is that for the parts used on ICH8/ICH9 systems, a more complex series of actions is needed than simply flipping one bit.
