How many refurburished ipods have had viruses on them/ How many sb thumb drives with custom controls and drivers have had viruses on them? How may times has MSFT released a service pack only to pull it a day or two later because 50% of the installs would fail horribly? Yeah, see, but... you can hold companies responsible. Who will be held responsible for this trojan? Hm? With the Sony rootkit, we knew. With OSS, "some guy that posted it" just doesn't cut it.
"I want to kill my wife....can you tell me where to buy a gun?" "I need to get rid of my wi... uh... a she-beast that's smokin', drinkin', and eatin' away 75% of my paycheck. It's about 300 pounds, camped out in front of the TV, and won't have sex with me!"
I think the local DA may take pity on the poor guy.;)
For example, I can go buy books with instructions on producing illegal substances, bombs, and weapons. Delta Press? Paladin Press?
The days of Ragnar Benson have almost faded away into memory.
The companies that used to publish "action books" have almost completely abandoned that genre.
Does that make borders a criminal? You don't have to make something a "crime" to get rid of it. Read up on the Paladin Press / Hit Man incident.
Can you imagine the firestorm if a company started publishing Paladin Press-style books today? In our post-9/11 world? Ha!
Why do I know that? Because you're posting on Slashdot. The odds that you have the technical wherewithal to defeat these lame-brain schemes are very good. Where'd you hide the camera?!
Faux News Here's a tip: if you want to seem objective and even-handed, don't use the meme "Faux News". Just a little bit of advice. You'll ignore it, of course, because you think "Faux News" makes ya sound witty. (It doesn't. It just makes you seem like an asshat and anyone who doesn't agree with you completely will miss any actual, honest point you've made.:))
I don't go to Japanese sites expecting freebies from Japanese companies for my American ass.
If it is in Google's interest to offer this product/service to <insert your country>, they will.
It's like the Japanese video game market. A ton of crap gets dumped in the Japanese market, because most of the companies are a) in Japan, b) it's cheaper and easier to test a new game in a local market - before potentially pissing away money on a failure.
/me is curious why this article is displayed as abbreviated while the gNewSense article is displayed as full text. Curious like how a perp dies in police custody?

Sweet feathery Jesus.
Every day's Tuesday, man.
You're the sort of person that would offer peanut brittle to a person with a mouthful of cavities, aren't you? ;)
My head hurts whenever I read "Web 2.0".
Do the world a favor: smack anyone who uses the phrase "web two point oh" in a conversation. Smack them. Smack them hard.
Why? It's fun documenting the downfall of a deranged sociopath!

We didn't start shit.
We're just ending the war with style, baby.

Back in my day... Wait. What the hell?! I'm THAT old? I'm old enough to begin a thought with "back in my day"?!
Well, time to start looking for a retirement community.
Spellcheck suffers a nervous breakdown while viewing lolcatz.

The founder of ICHC is awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Normality restored. Whatever constitutes "normal", anyway.
Quick! Someone call Art Bell!
Always assume the person is a complete idiot, unless proven otherwise.
Uh. No. It won't.
I submit as my two pieces of evidence: a TED talk by Levitt and his book.
Steven Levitt: Why do crack dealers still live with their moms?.
You may also want to check out his book (Freakonomics).
May take a while - a few months, a few years - but they can wait.

Once you've forgotten about this story, they'll go to work making it happen.

That's the sound I make when I reach for a snack!
