well done, sir. *golf clap*

No, if alcohol were prohibited it would not be "like" prohibition. It would be prohibition. That is what prohibition is.

Slashdot: All right, Did the shooter commit murder? The battle of wits has begun.
Me: But it's so simple. Someone shot someone else to death over an argument. So clearly he will fry for this!
Slashdot: You've made your decision, then?
Me: Not remotely. The shooter is a cop, so as a general rule he will be declared innocent and 'just doing what is right'.
Slashdot: Truly you have a dizzying intellect.
Me: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?
Slashdot: A Cop.
Me: Yes, a cop. But he is an EX copy, so clearly he will be found guilty.
Slashdot: You're just stalling now.
Me: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? He is an ex-cop, but this is FLORIDA. As everyone knows, Florida is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people shoot each other in the movie theater, so clearly he will get off.
Slashdot: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
Me: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHAT THE VERDICT IS!
Slashdot: Then make your choice.
Me: I will, and I choose - Look! Miley Rae Cyrus is twerking!

In time, you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love.

Ha ha ha ha. You're funny.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I could use one of those on my moisture farm.

Researcher1: "Watson, I have fed you a set of symptoms, along with the total of all knowledge on the Internet. Please come up with a treatment plan."
Watson: "Apparently, if you put one molecule of poison in a cup of water, then dilute the mixture until there is nothing left but pure water it will cure anything. At least that's what my sources say."

You must mean 'Rule #37: IF DATA IS COLLECTED, THE NSA HAS A COPY OF IT'.
Rules #35 and #36 are already taken.

I'm pretty sure yanking a drive out of a RAID1 bay will "forcibly fail" it.

I think you don't understand who owns who in this country. Upper management in a big corporation owns the politicians and the cops. They work at the pleasure of the corporation.

Yeah, good luck with that popular revolution when the powers-that-be own their own army of Terminators. Don't think it's coming? Ten years ago I wouldn't have thought local police would have TANKS either.

By the rules of Homeopathy, dilute the video until there is nothing left, not a single pixel, and it will have the most value!

I got questioned by a curious cop who didn't like the looks of us. We had tools in the back, because my buddy works for a gym fixing hot-tubs and equipment. The cop didn't believe us that the tools were for his job. He also didn't believe us that we were parked on the side of the road to go jogging. We were wearing jeans and sweatshirts. Eventually he couldn't find anything specifically wrong with the situation and let us go. Being two white kids from an upscale neighborhood had something to do with that.

We were lucky that he didn't notice that we had taken down the 'OVER TWO TONS GROSS WEIGHT FORBIDDEN' sign and put it face down in the back of the car. We took it to hang it over the girl's dorm entrance.

I'm not worried. I don't do anything. I just sit at home watching movies on my LG Smart-TV... *DOH*!
