Correct...prisoners in China will now have 2 options... 1) sign up for voluntary donor program with the complementary bullet 2) 48 hours of non-stop Justin Bieber & One Direction with a dull rusty knife, courtesy charge of $199.88 to your family.

Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain 680

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday June 08, 2010 @11:54AM from the I-bought-the-law dept.

Brian McCrary just bought a website to complain about a $90 speeding ticket he received from the Bluff City PD — the Bluff City Police Department site. The department let its domain expire and McCrary was quick to pick it up. From the article: "Brian McCrary found the perfect venue to gripe about a $90 speeding ticket when he went to the Bluff City Police Department's website, saw that its domain name was about to expire, and bought it right out from under the city's nose. Now that McCrary is the proud owner of the site, bluffcitypd.com, the Gray, Tenn., computer network designer has been using it to post links about speed cameras — like the one on US Highway 11E that caught him — and how people don't like them."

I think all Slashdot users can agree it would be terrible if Microsoft got in this game. If this might happen, show me where to protest!

I understand you are mocking the letter and what the teacher wrote, but there is an application called foxfire. http://www.micromegasystems.com/foxfire/foxfire.htm

I am amused that people automatically assume that the 16 or 17 year old was being "Wronged By The Man". If this was "close excel.exe and use scalc.exe"...the dorks in this page would be singing the praise and brilliance of said educator. But since this person has to gall to inadvertently diss FireFox...Death to the Infidel! Tar and feather the fascist clod!

And yes, teachers have and will dictate what you can use in the classroom...

Everybody have their #2 pencil ready?
Did you ever lose points for using a pen in math or a pencil in English Composition class?
Not having sneakers or shorts for gym?
