Here's a quote I like, written by Rose Wilder Lane way back in 1943:
The policeman's function is to stop the few robbers and killers who hinder the others' working. From what their work produces, the majority supplies the policeman with food, shelter and other necessities. When the policeman turns his gun upon them all, in the delusion that force can control life-energy, he not only hinders and prevents their working for themselves; he also cuts off his own source of supply.

Oh, yeah. I overlooked that. Thanks for pointing it out. So... We also know that you're probably a, um, "lonely" (shall we say) male who lives in his mom's basement.
Well, we know a few things about you. One, that you like space fantasy fiction, at least somewhat. Also you're a computer oriented geek, because you chose a power of two for the year (4096). Geeks know their powers of 2 forwards and backwards.

Wow. You could speak into the phone and have your message sent to another phone. To make this da killa, they should also develop text to speech software for the receiving end...!
Imagine that, holding a voice conversation with a pair of telephones...
Yes, and make sure you buy liquid household cleaning products that are colored green , and whatever else you buy, prefer the brand that comes in a green colored package.
A few weeks back, I saw a personalized license plate here in New Mexico that was just "WTF". I was surprised that it was actually allowed.
Most states (prolly all of them) have some pretty tight restrictions on what words can be placed on license plates, even going to such lengths as spelling backwards and looking in the mirror to make sure nothing offensive gets through.

Now, instead of carefully considering the composition and setting of some subject so that I don't waste precious film, I can just take eleventy-nine indisciminate snapshots, and hope that one of 'em is decent.
... make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING. Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.

This was done by order of a judge in the united states district court, southern district of New York.
Bush had nothing to do with it.
It's time to pack up the family into the covered wagon and head out across the prairies to where true freedom exists.
Either that, or take up your pitchforks and torches and take your freedoms back.

Prepare for the targeted ads.
I'd be more interested in one that had no caps-lock key at all.
Why would anybody ever need a caps-lock key?
Any word that ends with an 'S' can be converted to hacker/anarchist speak by converting the 'S' to a 'Z'.
My big brother, B1FF@BITNET told me this long ago.
