Our enemies

The powerful, rich, amoral, yes they are, and their currently in charge. Oh! you think because they hold up a banner with your beliefs on it they're "good." Nobody should have these powers without oversight. Maybe we should torture some more people, after all only the righteous should have rights!

Lead them on untill they think your starting the remote control session. Get a remote user code and password or two (say it didn't work) from them and then report it to the remote vendor. It's fun when you waste 20 min of their life and they swear at you. With any luck you burned a user account for their remote control provider.

Take the money and go invent something else. Or buy a basketball team. Or help bring an end to disease in a developing corner of the world. But don't waste your time and talents trying to milk one good idea for a few more bucks.

If you have more than a billion dollars give all your workers a %100 raise, rinse, and repeat. They probably earned it, pay it back and don't be a greedy douche.

consider 5 out of 6 people who play Russian roulette

After driving for 12 years over a 40,000 sq mi territory doing hardware tech, I would often speed without any accidents. It's a result of planning, equipment, and keeping sharp behind the wheel. Limited access highways are perfectly safe to around 90 mph traffic permitting. I would only attempt speeds over 100 mph on clear sunny days with little traffic and between cities. Although night or early dawn bambi might jump a fence and surprise you.

I cannot be that lucky.

will need dynDNS, not sure how well that works

Don't expect a Dyndns free account to work for longer than a year or so, even following the rules. I don't mind they want paid but if its a "time expirey" free offer, just say so upfront. I was using their client software which which was all up to date and they booted me for inactivity WTF. Still unemployed so, No I can't afford to pay them. I just need to lojack my daughter's laptop so it phones home. Trying http://freedns.afraid.org/ and wget. YMMV

We need some sort of holodeck that allows people to be fully immersed in their work environment without being physically present.

Management needs the holodeck to measure productivity by the level of discomfort on the slaves faces, its about the effort. The hardest working boss is always available to promote how hard he's working. Getting that image of "the hard working minions" to his boss is the biggest challenge. Show the boss your visible suffering and your most of the way to success in business.

"Peter, You've been missing a lot of work lately."

"poor oversight" is not the same as "accidently having an accident."

Do some reseach on Davis Bessie and all the alarms and best practices they ignored for costs. I'm betting the plant manager's kids don't live downwind like mine do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Davis-BesseHole.png

Anyone with thoughts about how the petition might have been worded to avoid this loophole?

They're lawyers, if you have to pin one down try a nail gun. The current age law slogan should be "We're assholes for loopholes." Politicians should serve only once using mandatory selection by random social security number, how could it be any worse than now?

The oath of office would be, don't be a douche bag.
