    What would you do with a PDA with that much power? Try and calculate the remote chance you will ever feel a woman's breast?

    If you'd read the FAQ, you'd be aware tha tmost down-modding is done by the admins, who have unlimited mod points. You'd also be aware that mods are selected roughly at random with a few facotrs, such as karma and usage statistics, thrown in. And non-admin mods only get five mod points anyway. In other words, if you're consistently modded down, it's not them, it's you.

    1) Try to Steal Linux from Commuinity
    2) $699 License
    3) Profit

    the $699 IS step 2, and holy shit the profit part even works. That buys them almost an hour of lawyer time.
