Seriously, who still bothers to own a printer?

It's been at least 6 or 8 years now since I tossed the last one. Every time I bought a new cartridge for it I ended up printing maybe a page or three, and then discovering that the ink had all dried up on the next occasion I felt a need for hard-copy, usually 8 or 12 months later. I concluded that - given the ridiculous per-page cost of owning a printer - I'm better-off driving down to a local copy shop with the content on a flash stick any time I need to print stuff. My print costs now run to pennies a year, and any Yellow Dots that might or might not get printed on the page can get traced... all the way to Southcape Copies.

Wrong. You missed the corollary to that: "Those who can't teach consult."

Spend a year or so building up industry contats, helping people out, speaking at industry events, conferences, etc. then make the jump to a consulting career. It helps (emotionally, if nothing else) if he can cement a contract that pays a monthly retainer for a year or so before quitting the coding job.

Uuuhhh... don't have one.

Windows?

I wonder how they intend to apply this to blogs that are listed under their own domain... Since my Blogger-hosted blog is generally known via my own (blog.mikro2nd.net) subdomain, are Google now going to mess with my "branding" when I make snotty comments about China or the USA?

...news that really does matter!

Add similar photos of Spike Milligan (with talk balloons) and we could be onto something, no...?

You also need to add, "or countries that might easily be coerced by the US through threats of violence, embargo, trade sanction, asset-freezing, etc."

I guess that leaves Elbonia.

I guess you've forgotten about all that depleted uranium lying around Kuwait and Iraq, then. I appreciate that it doesn't make a nice, big mushroom cloud, but its still pretty nasty stuff.

No need to worry about warrants or detention... just send in a team of Seals to shoot the fucker and dump the body in the ocean.
