Actually there is another option, it's called the second amendment! To paraphrase Jefferson:
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to
time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787.
"I have it on good authority that if you type I'm feeling lucky in the search bar and then click the I'm feeling lucky button, You will, in fact, destroy the internet."
I was born and raised in the UK and had the right to vote from the age of 18. I never really took advantage of it. Seemed too much hassle having to go to the polling booths to check a box. A couple of years ago I emmigrated to the US. I did this the leagl way and am now classed as a legal permanent resident. Sadly the state I am in only allows voting by US citizens not US residents. This has given me a new appreciation of what a gift that right is and why the founding fathers were willing to give their lives for it.
Your vote is your voice, regardless of how pessimistic you might be (I know I am), so cherish it. You might not appreciate it today but you never know whats going to happen tommorrow.
Which is pretty useless and not very good for telling jokes or insulting people. Now the brits have 18 words for vagina and about 30 words for penis. The potential is almost endless.

We had a similar problem in a factory I used to work at as a test engineer. Luckily I had access to a signal generator on my work bench so each time they would play the same song more than once in an hour (or sometimes a day deppending on the song), I would just hit my preset and send out a cancellation wave. Blocked out all the radios in the building MWAHAHAHA.
I have had the same problem. I was recently recieving calls from the local mayoral candidates hoping to count on my vote. Ironic seeing as how I am not yet eligible to vote (Just a permanat resident not a citizen). My favourite was the recorded message which had every sentence repeat itself twice before moving on. If you are going to piss me off with bogus messages at leat make sure the machine is working.
What? Maybe I am reading that wrong but did this guy send the painting before he got paid? If thats the case I really can't have too much sympathy for him.
Well the Mountain dew I had been drinking is now at the end of the office. Thats pretty good through my nose. Thanks for giving me the best laugh I have had all week.
I assume you are referring to the question that asks if you are coming to the US for the purposes of spying. I once asked someone from homeland security if anyone ever actually answers yes to that one. His response was that if you were there to spy they already knew about it.
Your response is mute.
The DHS also involved with immigration. They have a vast (and I mean pretty much everything) amount of information about each and every (legal) immigrant who comes to this country. As one of those immigrants this scares the hell out of me.
So no the guys you see at the airport or hanging around the border are not IT guys or white hatters, but they better damn well have some people who are. And those are the ones who have screwed up.
So one question. Where are all those who want us to "Think of the children"?
We here about how naughty words will "harm" our children and how video games are turning all of them into psychotic maniacs. Yet when these asshats start to target the kids we hear nothing. Am I the only one who finds this wrong?
If I had any mod points left I would mod you up. This is pretty much the exact discussion I have with people on a regular basis. A terrorists job is not to kill people but instead to spread chaos and fear. I am constantly amazed (and a little scared) at the number of people who don't realize this.
The mass media certainly has not helped with this new interpretation. But then I guess rational thought doesn't sell as well as sensationalist propaganda. I think my sig says it all when it comes to this (once and will be again) great country. We need more free thinkers and less sheeple.

Only on slashdot would that get modded "+5 informative" :)
Without remaining anonymous people wouldn't be willing to talk openly about politics for fear what they say can be used against them.
Bingo! I'm sure that has already been considered by these asshats.

This kinda reminds me of the old puppet show Joe90
Dammit, they found my one weakness.....

Fools, Why didn't they use 10,001 cameras?!
I stand corrected

Oh I have to stop drinking this early in the day.

What is wrong with this asshole?
Funny you should say that. My wife mentioned getting vonage about 15 minutes before I read this article. Now.....not so sure.
Can anyone suggest a good alternate voip service?
