He didn't pay protection money? Now he's in trouble? Oh, irony.

    He should have lived on the Linux mainland, and not that Windows Vista.

Hi. You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or... these guys are going to take your balls. They're going to send one to the New York Times, one to the LA Times press-release style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us.

One day soon, if this form of pre-crime is put into use, a the police will gun down a person and it will be judged reasonable force, because they had reason to suspect the person was dangerous due to the "fact" that they would soon commit a crime. in these crazy days when the government takes private property for profit without a court order or due process(http://www.themoralliberal.com/2011/10/04/ij-challenges-%E2%80%9Cpolicing-for-profit%E2%80%9D-in-massachusetts/), where the government can threaten a person with a violet SWAT style raid for having a health lemon tree in their home(http://healthfreedoms.org/2011/09/15/usda-seizes-1000-personal-lemon-trees-threatens-fed-raid/), where the government contends that you don't own your property(http://libertylog.org/?p=2837), and that you have no rights to food, health, or to contract(http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/fda-you-have-no-natural-right-to-food-health-or-private-contracts/), what do you expect. People are asleep. In the land of the free you don't have as many rights as you think. Of course they wouldn't try the same thing with large corporations of people with money or power. It's only the little people who get stepped on. At least a few have balls and they are in NY right now. What are you doing for the people who are actually doing something? They are fighting for your rights for your rights and freedom from a government controlled more and more by large corporations and less and less by, and for, the people.

People chemically altered slightly to become human bombs. No, wait, that was a B-movie also.

Hard to imagine people still cling to the idea that we must give up our freedoms to protect us from the people who hate us for our freedoms.

Carbon credits erased jet pollution. Amazing! Next thing you know we'll be able to pay the pope to erase our sins. Sounds like a scam, but I'm sure it's on the up and up.

Careful there buddy. We just took over all your boarders. Don't think we wont send the black helicopters. :)

You have answered your first question with your seconds question.

+3 for bashing Gnomes? I'm confused. Isn't that only for Rangers?

... until it becomes the home of the brave.

Who the hell is okay with naked pictures of little kids? If you are I can refer you to the Pope job placement.

I worked at FTP Software(yes, by now you've never heard of them) when they partnered with Microsoft. The guy hired away from Apple said "Microsoft would never screw us." Everyone in the room laughed, then printed their resumes. The company did not last long.

They should zune ahead of Apple and Google in no time.

Awesome post!

AT&T illegally gives the DOJ your phone calls, emails, messages, and other personal information in an up-to-the-second interface, and when some kid notices a security flaw the same DOJ comes after him? The public that puts up with this deserves to be treated this way.

... and this man works in education? Oddly he seem immune to it.

You cannot ever eliminate all items which can be used to harm people. It's not possible and it not worth working on beyond actual weapons. At some point schools need to focus on schools. The smartest and brightest are the best of our future.

Yes, kids will fight, and they will get hurt. But responding to a non-problem and non-issue and threatening students who bring the basic tools of learning for the last ... ummm ... 300 years is insane.
