TopherTG writes "Do cops told to seize computers to return only with monitors, stapling pirated floppies together or arresting CEOs for their customer's crimes sound familiar? It would in India. Wired is running a rather humorous article on the minglings between cops and techies."

There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.

The first sentence TopherTG wrote made absolutely no sense! I guess I should at least be happy it wasn't in 1337-speak, or like an IM dialogue.

(OT) Meta-moderation by SeanDuggan · 2005-01-06 09:27 · Score: 0, Offtopic

That's what meta-moderation is for. Although how it actually changes anything is somewhat foggy.
Outside of a warm and fuzzy feeling and maybe a higher chance for moderator points for the meta-moderator? Well, if you mark a moderation unfair, the mod does receive a nice little message telling them their moderation has been metamoderated unfair. Assuming they haven't turned the nice little messages off. Assuming they care. *shrug*
