Subversive Gifts for New College Students?
openyourmind asks: "A friend's daughter is going to college, and I want to send her a package to help her in school. What kinds of things did you wish you had, but couldn't get, in college? I have already included a lockpick set, a UVmarking pen, and an LED flashlight in her care package. What else? Legal items only, please."
Suck it, CLIT!
And how 'bout an anonymizer account, encryption software, and a *nix based notebook for listening to listening to Democracy Now and staying in touch with friends and family without prying government eyes...
Pabst? Where'd you go to college -- obedience school?

Oh yeah, this is really news for nerds when info about the RC5 challenge nearly being over isn't.
"Population 1,656"
We're all palestinians
Meaning what, exactly? That we're all citizens of a totalitarian dictatorship who are tricked into sending our children to blow themselves up in childrens areas of restaurants in other countries so that we won't notice how oppressive our own leaders are? Sorry, I'm not buying it...
And, by the way, the site you link to is quite possibly the most braindead, sorry example of false analogies standing in for rational thought that I've ever seen...

You're more like a bunch of citizens of a totalitarian dictatorship who are tricked into believing that the country you live in is the best in the world. You aren't taught about any other countries and are viewed as extremely ignorant by the rest of the world. Your comment here just proves that.

How do you know the guy you replied to isn't palestinian himself? Hell, maybe I am. Get the fuck over it. Palestine is nothing but a totalitarian hellhole. Torture, murder, suicide all in the name of religion? Utter stupidity.
With due respect, did it ever cross your mind that most Americans believe we're living in the best nation on earth because we do know a thing or two about the rest of the world?
Where would you suggest we should prefer to live? Keep in mind that we already live in the most free, most democratic, and most prosperous nation not only on earth now, but in earth's history?
Kinda burns you up thinking about it, doesn't it?

That's debatable:
most free - How many people do we have in jail for victimless crimes? There are nations that don't protect you from your own choices, nor impose puritanical values on you.
most democratic - Proportional representation, Europe has it, we don't. That's why we're essentaily a two party nation. Then there's the electoral college, didn't the majority of voting Americans vote for Gore?
I was working late one night and needed to reset a circuit breaker - and the only person who would know where the key was located was most likely in deep REM sleep by that point. Not being the type to want to trifle with him anyway, I took a look, pulled my Leatherman out of my pocket, and proceeded to unscrew all four plain-jane flathead screws "securely" keeping the front panel from being vandalized. I bet he still doesn't know I was in there.
Sleep is just a poor substitute for caffeine, anyway. -Bob Lehmann
