so they need to play nice;

will be on the satellite in 4D 24x7, with a round-up channel streaming the "best of bastards" on a loop.

sauce for the goose...

all you hear is the occasional "thump-thump." occasionally muted screaming if somebody gets caught in a fender.

reason being, what evidence have they got that they want out in the public domain, feeding the 24x7xscrew-it, we-never-blink news cycle?

"May it please the court, I have ten million intercepts the defendent had access to. But you can't look. Oh, no, secret secret, we already shot the custodian of the documents."

"Counselor, that's all you ever say."

"Judge, I got a rifle on you, too."

nah, this can't be a fair trial. stay safe. stay gone.

whole different business. just because Warner and Fox and Universal used film and books and TV channels to push entertainment doesn't mean Google and Facebook can't use OC192s to push entertainment. sit back, sell your fiber per bit at retail, and enjoy it.

when they stop making spyboxes, they can make firewalls. Da Gummint taught them a lot.

but that's putting you in bed with the weasels.

take some IT guys out for lunch with their laptop, show them how to lose their appetite. on a company computer.

things will happen at a good rate of speed.

if yoiu happen to have one of the security guys along, that will seal it quickly.

my sleepy little weekly has a copper theft just about every other week when it's not cold enough to kill outside. cut open a container, clamp the wire to a bumper, and GO! that's even easier than breaking into a vacant house and cutting all the wire and plumbing out, although the little darlings probably are stripping that 24 gauge for days before they can sell it as bare wire.

as in 10,000 hours between minors, and 50,000 hours between major rebuilds.

so this preacher is talking about creating idolatry. he is, of course, goofy.

Congress might fund NIH, if they could agree on anything, including whether to have Coke or Pepsi in the Senate Dining Room.

the immediate beneficiaries would be medical insurance companies, but the short-term is all they think about. if they say NO! now, they don't have to say NO! a thousand times, ten thousand times, when somebody is rotting out from infection by the minute and a doctor tries to prescribe a new $10,000 antibiotic.

if we had single-payer insurance, and ponied up along with the other developed nations, all of which are single-payer, a share of the prize, we might get someplace. I like the idea, but not its chances.
