Lame.
Try this, instead:
1) Require all government agencies, corporations, and charities to have totally open, publicly accessible financial books. No black budgets. This definitely includes the Federal Reserve.
2) Implement a single flat sales tax. People with more money buy more, and thus everyone pays fairly. Note that corporations 'buy' their employees, and so that tax would hit salaries and wages too.
3) Instead of voting FOR someone, only let people vote AGAINST someone. The candidate with the fewest 'no' votes wins. Only one vote per person, so spread them around wisely.
4) Let people buy health, not health care. http://hanson.gmu.edu/buyhealth.html
5) Fund infrastructure.
Hm. Internet terrorist? o.O

You know he runs a security consulting company, right? No doubt another leftist conspiracy, helping people keep their computers and networks safe.
Agree. When a company builds up a brand, then puts lots of things under that brand, they do it so that you'll carry over goodwill from one product to the next. It seems only fair to carry over the badwill as well.
This could be the beginning of serious balkanization of the internet.
The value of the internet is that it connects EVERYTHING. Reduce the connections, and you reduce the utility.
There is another choice, one that no publishing company seems to be willing to explore. What about moving to the 'ransom' model of book-making, where you release the book free-of-charge after enough people put money towards it?
This could work well for books and music, and probably movies as well. How many people would have been willing to pay $5 for another episode of Firefly? $2? $1? Add to that a tipping model for after-the-fact donations, and you're set.
All of this assumes, of course, that what you're making is what people want. Hint: if nobody is willing to pay the money, people probably don't want it.
Actually, you only need to delete it ONCE, unless people already suspect you of something. Companies don't go around giving random employee computers to forensics teams.
You know that Wine is open source, right? There isn't anything stopping you from getting that implemented yourself. Code it, or hire someone to code it. You could even gather a bunch of other people together, and all pay for that person to code it.
If it's really that highly voted, maybe some of those people will want to spend $5 on fixing their problem.
'needs uninstalled'....
Please, please repeat after me... 'to be'. 'needs to be uninstalled'.
Has anyone else noticed this happening? It seems to jump out at me more and more all the time.

Another thing that will see no downswing is the illegal drug industry. Drugs also offer escapism.

Why look for hidden agendas, when simple stupidity and greed explain everything?

After all, Blu-Ray's real competitor wasn't HD-DVD. It was, and still is, downloads.

Copypasta, yum. Instead of posting this here, why not post it as a separate scoop? It would waste less time, and more people would read it.
