Give it a few years, when you and your son get vanned(arrested and taken to jail in a paddy wagon) because some rightous doggie just like you hacked your box and found the naked pictures that your son e-mailed to his girlfriend(or boyfriend), then alerted the FBI to your foul preference for boys. Perhaps you didn't get the memo, but depections of cartoons and nude photographs of people who are 17 years and 11 months old count as being "child porn."
Of course you won't really go to all the way to jail, you'll be let off after your preference for young'uns was broadcasted in your local newspaper(for the "lols", a slang phrase which means they all laugh at your expense) for your friends and employer to see. You son will likely require counseling for sexual deviancy, or the DA and judge may be dicks and sentence him to a year in juvie. Righteous citizens just like yourself will see that and kill your cat, slash your tires, and follow you around town with meanacing looks in their eyes.
They might even leave you missing your front teeth.
Exactly. There's always a market in people we love to hate.
Assange is proving himself to be one of the world's greatest professional trolls - right up there with Bin Laden, Hugo Chavez, and Sarah Palin...only he's actually doing something useful.
Also, I discovered today that my employer (via their Websense) is blocking all internet access to Wikileaks-related stories, including those on Slashdot!.
You will want to have several pieces of reasonably heavy equipment semipermanently present above the workbench - so build a couple of deep, sturdy shelves that can hold your benchtop PSUs, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.
Also consider that many pieces of automatic test equipment are rack-mountable. You may want to consider making a portable "cart" with all of your gadgets(including a power strip with retractable extension cord, and maybe even a small computer for GPIB control).
Others have suggested being used to losing tools. You can keep track of them easily if you have the discipline to keep a record of all your tools, returning them at the end of your shift(great way to kill time), neatly arranged in the box with foam cutouts, notating exceptions and requiring signatures for borrowing.
Aah, trolling 200: History of Trolling. Old-skool trolls aren't very fulfilling here because the "educated" readership take every comment way too literally and lack the capacity to read between the lines.
Better slip a surprise racial slur at the end for good measure.

Why not have a little fun with it? Why not ask Satan if he may drag you out of the lake of fire so you can join him in flipping the bird at the man and trolling and Screwtaping mere mortals to their damnation? If the puny humans lack the capacity for creative fun and want to remain sheep, then let 'em live as slaves in heaven or burn in hell. As long as heaven exists, so will hell...and why not be content with your imperfections and your innate animalistic evil?
The Satanic Bible makes much more sense than the Holy one does. Quoth the Wikipedia:
To LaVey, god is simply what we all wish we could be. He kills without mercy or explanation, is free to do as he/she wishes, and is responsible to no one.
p.s. I sold my soul to the Devil and all I got was this lousy terrible karma.
A popular suggestion for mailing packages to Nicaragua or Bolivia(or pretty much any dirt-poor country) is to do the opposite and label the package ropa usada (used clothing) to discourage the handlers from stealing it.
While we're at it, I propose the removal of the artificial limitations of citizens' double precision data to 16 digits with a floating decimal point.
It is an outdated model stuck on cheap hardware and a scam run by institutions paid by institutions pocketing the fractions (think salami slicing).
I want my bank account to be able to say ".0287863987569328746598137649582736985555726938475629835576459837" after the whole numbers' place. If I make games, I want to be able to sell virtual goods at $0.000000000000000000000000056 per transaction if I want to. When your audience is the entire internet and even very poor bushmen from Africa are on it, small amounts like that can rack up to pay for my six-pack. I want computer manufacturers to be able to do that for me affordably, and I want to see that number reflect in my account instead of being thrown away.
They are all under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security whose core mission is to annoy, harass, and humiliate law-abiding citizens while letting the crooks slip through the cracks.
In short, federal policing powers given to the creme de la crap.
That is a good point. Strangely enough, I think that they would have more success with direct sequels of the more memorable ones like (American) FF6 and FF7. FF7: DoC was really good, though I wish that the other characters were more directly involved in the game.
The problem is that there's only so many times you can do the whole "evil demon-zombie tries to take over the world and humble scruffy hero with funny-looking friends acquired along the way run FedEx missions to get the ultimate sword of NecroNegro to vanquish the evil Demon who becomes MegaDemon at the last minute which happens in heaven/hell/memoria/the end of time/the beginning of time.
Fuck, man. How many have they made?! They should have called it quits after 8, and even that was full of trite emo-kid shit. I knew the series was going to shit the second I saw the preview of the characters for FF9. The best part of FF12 was listening to the theme in the intro screen, the rest was just fucking boring. The problem with a lot of titles on the newer consoles is that they seem to concentrate on eye candy rather than better gameplay.
India 'as-is' wouldn't survive in the trekkie 'communist' utopia of a future as it's still mostly an religion-ridden oligarchy
Not stinking, or stinking less than the Earthian average, is what's most important for morale on a long-term close-quarters voyage. Indians would not qualify for that reason alone. Even space-buzzards are knocked off of their astro-shitwagons by the stench. And stink is not supposed to propogate in a vaccuum.
It makes the story sound more exciting, as if the SAP guys are gonna try to escape by helicopter and be thwarted by enforcers kicking in the courtroom doors and shootin' up the place or some shit.

You'll quickly grow to love the delete key when your test laptop's backspace key malfunctions in the field.

Good luck.
I was breast-fed until I was 17, you insensitive clod.
Maybe they did time in Guantanamo or one of the CIA black sites and were subject to a Mock Execution.
Dostoevsky wasn't a killer, but referenced his own mock execution in detail in at least two of his books.

If you record audio, yes. If you don't, no.
Like vidya cards - if you game or develop media, yes. If not, no.
Fuck, was that so difficult? Also, first poast.
Both are made from horsemeat. *Ba-DUM PISH!*
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

Some people think
That Muslims are mean,
That they despise all your freedom
'Cause your ways are unclean.
But Muslisms are friendly
But don't take womens' bitchin'
Because a Muslim man has four of them,
And they're all in the kitchen.
You wish you could live
A Muslim man's life,
Which is being a closet homo,
While banging four wives,
One after the other,
In the order he chooses,
Without taking a shower,
He mixes in 'em each other's juices.
He goes to bed with each one
Until he goes flaccid,
But if a bitch give 'im some lip,
She'll get a faceful of acid.
So you see now, in America
You mild-mannered metros,
Yours will never compare
To a real man's machismo .
if western cultures defended freedom with the same vigilance (not the same methods)
In our Western culture, vigilance is synonymous with those methods.
This also in: scientists at McMasterbate University have discovered how to make human semen from adult foreskin.
It makes the story sound more exciting, as if the SAP guys are gonna try to escape by helicopter and be thwarted by enforcers kicking in the courtroom doors and shootin' up the place or some shit.
For example, how many students are really going to buy their own digital copies of their textbooks
That's a special case, and the textbook publishers deserve every fucking bit of lost sales through textbook piracy.
Price-gouging publishers and your bought-off faculty shills -- fuck you.
In other words, it's an electronic check valve.
The hell you talking about? They get to have four wives!
from the stocking-stuffers dept.
I stuffed your mother's pink stocking with my coal-black surprise. It pulled her stocking inside out with it.
Oh, fuck. No, no, NO I forgot to check 'post anonymously' !!!1!!!!
