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."
a butt pirate.
That's why software should be free?
I have been pwned because my
His idea to be able to remotely destroy or disable somebody's computer is idiotic.
I know I'm flogging a dead horse here, but isn't time we got politicians with a clue?
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
"They're using our code," Woolley said Wednesday. "We've had no contact with them. They are in breach of our licensing terms."

..because no one would be afraid of the dread pirate Orin!

Sounds dangerous.
The whole point was "pottle, kettle, black".
So...let me see if I have this straight...slashdot is running an article on an elected official doing something illegal?
We're gonna need more space if this is the start of a trend.
A LOT more space.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Oh my god, what a rare and shocking revelation.
While it is quite funny is see our politibots when they get caught in their hyrpocrisy, I hope I wasn't the only one who wasn't surprised to read this.
Haha, this is a classic.. but hey, at least the Senator's site warns you that you're leaving their site (and they give you a 1 second delay too! woo!)
(Avoiding the filter is an art. Art rules.)
YOU ARE SO FIRED!
(had to do it)
Laws are for people with no friends.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - GIF patent US4,558,302 was found expired in its patent office filing cabinet this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the internet community will miss it - even if you didn't enjoy the litigation, there's no denying its contribution to bandwidth conservation. Truly a compression icon.
This is funny, but the sad thing is that it will in no way affect Hatch's platform nor media credibility.
I imagine that tommorow a sysadmin and a webdesigner will be out of a job. And that sucks in today's market.
I mean, really, you think an old senator put a website together by himself? WITH javascript!

Holy crap:
The "My Utah Search" graphic here links to a porn site. This is beautiful.
I bet you always use your turn signal, never go over the speed limit and keep those tags on your mattresses too, huh?
yeah, go ahead and click on Hatch's pr0n link... I'm sure he'll have the last laugh when he gets a phat check at the end of the month for generating all these click-thoughs...
It is very cheap.. Just go ahead and reply with your full name, credit card number w/ date of expiry, and what you want your ad to say, and I'll get you all set up.
Go to http://www.bsa.org/usa/report/ and report Orrin for piracy
...Professor....what is 'pirate booty'...?
I thought it searched Utah pretty well and reveal quite a lot of it!
Hatching up ways to save the tax-payer money huh? He's my kind of politician.

Apparently MENSA membership does not require a good knowledge of grammar. That should be: "DISCLAIMER: The views expressed hereafter are not necessarily those of MENSA, of which I am only a member."

Pot here. You are black! I repeat: You are black!
Shouldn't it be mod'ed as ...ahem... informative? God knows how the AC picked this up. Nice catch.
The finest porn of Utah -- recommended by Sen. Hatch.

Maybe he should change his name to senator Snatch
Creationists are a lot like zombies. Slow, but powerful and numerous. And they all want to eat our brains.

Not to mention links to "Beaver Mountain" and "Brian Head". Hmmmmmmm.
You're telling me you think holding a Senate seat is a non-profit activity?
What color is the sky on your planet?
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
Hatch, a Pirate?
Of course not. He's a politician.
Pirates work for a living.
I've dealt with him !

It takes 40+ muscles to frown, but only four to extend your arm and bitchslap the motherfucker
To take it a step farther, what we really need is a 24/7 âoeGovCamâ to be permanently mounted on every elected official so we can tune in and see what the hell they are up to.
Itâ(TM)s a network show thatâ(TM)s guaranteed to make The Sopranos dull and drab to be sure. And then some brave media company can put together a website where there is a Survivor-like online game and the losing politicians are exploded out of office.
Starting with Orrin Hatch, of course. Live by remote detonation, die by remote detonation.
"all that shareware you registered in under 30 days"
Shareware is a form of degenerative IP protection that will lead the unsuspecting subject to use more and more free for use software, leading him in the dangerous path of Free Software, or even (God Prevents !) Copyleft, GPLed so called software !!!
The only way for us to protect America is to protect the poor Lusers and make it so that it is almost impossible for those Shareware to be found anywhere. We owe those poor souls the Joy and Happiness of well made EULA, such as already comfort all good users.
