I don't know about you all, but I'm putting some money in guillotine futures.

So you'll make money even if the gov't wins and executes all the people it doesn't like.

Win-win. (in a way)

Exactly.

Making it (spyware, malware which stops your PC from doing unapproved things, etc) legal isn't enough, if people can fight it by disabling it, removing it, etc.

If the law won't stop it, but people can, the companies pushing for this gain nothing.

So they have to make it illegal for people to fight against. Claim a property right in the software or an anti-circumvention prohibition and say people fighting it are interfering with property and/or circumventing protections.

Then they'll pass a law where providing tools to remove spyware will get you a 5 year prison sentence.

Be very glad Obama was elected, or things would be worse.

You can also have something write to I/O ports which overvolt things.

I'm fairly certain that if all I did was write Perl, I'd go insane.'"

but Perl is a beautiful language!

I'd think putting a hacker in general population would be worse, with all the rape, beatings and stabbings.

Hackers could probably handle being alone a lot better.

He is an atheist, and thus, a fool.

See, first you start out support evolution, etc and then you DENY God.

God will then deny YOU!

Well if the Republicans win, the oceans will get so polluted you'll be able to do that!

Oh please, you get as much radiation as 3 MINUTES in flight, and as for the right to travel, do you think requiring a driver's license to drive is unconstitutional too?
