Couldn't we be using Avira at work?

Then I could go home and play Diablo.

Samzenpus was scared by Ayn Rand as a small child (who wasn't, really), and so has a mental block there. He had to put down Ron Paul instead, or it would have just been 'fnord' all over the place.

The thing is, he's not entirely wrong.

Look, back in the Golden Age of Comics (okay, back right after the Comics Code Authority was first put in place) you could find heroes upholding good honest American values (I am being mildly sarcastic here, trust me). Heroes always won, villains always lost, authority figures were respected, and so on.

But that's not the way comics are now. Look at the last few years of DC, for example. You have legions of super-zombies killing anyone and everyone around them (Blackest Night), entire cities being destroyed or severely messed up by the forces of evil (Final Crisis, and Infinite Crisis), and so on. Heck, lately DC has seemed to play by a "Anyone can die" rule, which included killing off the non-super-powered kid of Arsenal (along with thousand of other people in Star City at the time).

Marvel isn't much better, when it comes to apocalyptic mayhem, but they tend to confine it to the mutant books more often then not.

Throw in the standard art style of drawing every female character with the most common super-power (mega-boobs), and costumes that consist of two hankies and a piece of string.... and it's not horribly kid-friendly.

And hey, they're 'stopping terrorists' but they're letting drug dealers right on through!

Of course, it says something that the only reason the authorities found out about this going on was that one of the drug couriers was too friggin' stupid to go to the terminal with the bribed TSA agents.

What's ironic, is that I don't use Chrome simply because it won't let me put the different tabs below the address bar WHERE THEY BLOODY WELL BELONG. (You know, like practically every other browser does.)

Police will be called out to those events because "there's someone with a gun!" Family reunion becomes a family bloodbath.

I am reminded of the following definitions:

Cult - a small, unpopular religion

Religion - a large, popular cult

Is anyone really surprised by this? (Well, any /. readers?)

Their "we don't your site around here" legislation got kicked to the curb, and because this doesn't give them the power to shut off whatever websites they feel like, "it's too weak".

BULL. SHIT.

Deal with it, RIAA. Deal with the fact that you might actually have to prove your case before hammering someone with punitive fines/jail time/freezing in carbonite. (Sorry, been playing a lot of SWTOR)

Fall afoul of "restraint of trade"?

Well played, sir.

However, throw another elephant on the barbie.... wow... think of the structural engineering that would require.
