>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

As long as there is emacs, there will always be a LISP.

But if they kill Flash, how will we get our fill of Newgrounds and Homestar Runner?

Now all I have to do is get my mother, father, wife, and all of my friends to actually email me instead of sending me messages on Facebook. Except for work, nobody I know uses email anymore to send personal letters.

A fan on the HR Wiki created a Greasemonkey script that adds a pause button, fast forward/rewind functions, subtitles, and a bunch of other goodies to the Homestar Runner cartoons. It makes watching them so much easier. It also makes it much easier to find the easter eggs. I am not involved with this script in any way, I just think it's cool.

The cartoons were all made by Mike and Matt Chapman by themselves in Flash, and Matt and Mike's wife Missy did all of the voices. If they sold off the IP to anyone else, it would be completely different. I don't think it would be Homestar at all.

Just so long as they don't bring Homestar Runner back as a gritty reboot

It makes the prequels more palatable to me to imagine that they are actually prequels to Spaceballs instead of the original Star Wars movies. Have you ever noticed that Rick Moranis and Hayden Christiansen have a similar Canadian accent?

I agree, Little Snitch is an awesome program, but sadly, it's for Mac OS X only. Not very helpful to the original poster, who is running Linux.

Judging from the large amount of post-apocalyptic movies and books that are currently popular, I'd say the end of the world is fast approaching.

The baristas at Silicon Valley Starbucks usually commute long distances from lower-income and even more crime-ridden areas such as Stockton and Merced. No telecommute option for them.

Only a matter of time before RMS browbeats them into calling it "GNU/Linux Format"...

No problem! All they need to do is release some of their Virtual Console NES games onto the Wii disk format, and then the retro nerds will buy them all over again! It has so far worked for Sega, who I think has now put their Genesis back catalog on every device known to existence.
