The two-month extension passed both houses and Obama just now signed it.

Whoa, who said this was about economics? Consider social politics as well, such as all the UK's Big Brother cameras, or Australia banning certain video games.

You had me really worried there. I was trying to count up how many weeks I've had ads disabled.

The DOJ sure is responsible for a lot of recent crazy stories lately:

They're the department that bought the $16 muffins. link

They claim that Willie Nelson's song The Gambler is proof that online poker is illegal (yes, you read that right).link

And now a ToS violation is a crime.

Maybe the DOJ needs to be brought to justice.

Why? Halloween means free hand-outs, which we all know is what you Occupiers truly want.

just kidding please don't mod me down :)

How about "Baloney1? That's your password?"

My electricity company is totally cool with charging me at the end of the month for a very specific usage figure ... and you know what? I've never complained about or felt like I was getting the raw end of a deal.

Shhhh!!!!! Don't give the electricity company any ideas!

If he wanted to steal from the bank, here's a better, technical solution:

Every time there's a bank transaction where interest is computed, you know, thousands a day? The computer ends up with these fractions of a cent, which it usually rounds off. Just take those little remainders and put them into an account.

There were a couple movies where this was done and it worked brilliantly.

Thanks for making the ratings less useful.

Just like the Slashdot polls, the ratings are wildly inaccurate. "If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane."

I'm trying to recall the last time I heard of any notorious vigilante actions, and I'm drawing a blank.

You've never heard of Batman?!?!
