Senator Orrin Hatch a Pirate?

Stigmata669 writes "Remember a few days ago when Senator Orrin Hatch decided that software piracy was punishable by destruction of computers? Well a bored and unemployed Sys. Admin in Houston smelled a rat when he was rooting through Hatch's website source. As it turns out Sen. Hatch is a common software pirate himself."

    Anyone want to say something intelligent instead of making stupid comments that only ruin it for others?

    Hmm. I just have a problem with someone charging $900 for JavaScript code that is easily viewable by almost any visitor to a site. It's common practice to steal bits of HTML and JavaScript, so I'm surprised people would get so annoyed when they try to sell code for use on the Web..

    they don't hate you cuz you're a woman, they hate you because you're an arrogant, stuck up, retarded bitch. Honestly, no one cares that you are in MENSA, so stop acting like you are above everyone else because of it. Hey, guess what, I'm in MENSA too! Does that mean I have any actual grasp of the world around me or that I am better than anyone else? HELL NO! It means that I was able to mentally assemble a 3d cube and predict the pattern. Furthermore, "You're not a Mensa member, are you? Oh, wait, you are. It should have been obvious to me." was an INSULT, he was commenting on your arrogant and stuck up attitude. It's people like you that make me glad I'm still alive, to counter act all the stupidity you excrete into the world.

    Senator Hatch is eating his own dogfood on this one. However, this is just the perfect his excuse for the GSA to purchase a super dooper nice system from Dell at an extreme overpriced rate for U.S. Senators. :-/

    ...or because Bill Clinton smoked weed once. Nobody is defined in any single instant.

    It's not him smoking weed once, it's him maintaining the whole "War on Drugs" policy AND making non-violent people serve time in jail for what he himself did... Same with the whole "political correctness" thing, I'd never mind him fscking all the subordinate girls silly, but what right did he have to support denying the same "rights" ;-) to people less fortunate in life?

    Hatch could sodomize young boys on primetime television while singing L'Internationale and still be reelected easily.

    As long as he doesn't criticize the Mormon cult^H^H^H^Hchurch.

    D'oh, you've changed my mind. So now I think he's a flarging senile idiot instead of just an asshole (seriously). This gives me an interesting new perspective I hadn't thought of. It also strengthens my case for Eugenics. Get rid of the old, they're just holding us back with their outdated ideas. (~%75 joke, %25 serious)
