You've never seen a power supply die in 25 years?! Wow! That seems to be one of the most common causes of PC "death" I see. I bought a $20 test device to confirm the deadness of PSUs.
I totally agree with you. As much as I miss Cujo, Gus, and Scratch, I know cloning them won't bring really bring them back. Their respective personalities were formed by the people and events around them. I really wouldn't want to go through housebreaking Cujo again either . . . .
I'm not so naive as to believe that such things don't occur, but your initial post seems rather slanted. As for the police officers I've known personally, they want the job not so they can beat the crap out of people but so they can protect people. As hard as it may be for you to believe, some cops actually want to HELP people. They really want to "Serve and Protect". Zapping a big belligerent drunk with a taser (usually) subdues him with a much lower likelihood of injury as opposed to being wrestled to the ground by several cops. Said cops are very likely to get pissed off if they end up in a wrestling match because the drunk is punching/kicking/spitting on them. The urge to punch/kick/spit back is hard to resist.
We are most likely approaching this from diametrically opposite view points.
Social norms make it necessary for a man (or woman) to marry and have children in order to "fit in", especially in the past, thus ensuring the survival of the "gay gene" in the gene pool. It could also be a gene passed on by the mother that shows up most frequently in male offspring (like colorblindness).
police who used to use batons and fire hoses (visibly brutal) for crowd control, but now use pepper spray and tasers (which leave no marks)
Yeah, the police use pepper spray and tasers instead of batons not because they want to reduce the risk of serous injury but because they wish to make great use of their disguised oppressiveness. They don't use firehoses as often because that requires working with the fire department. Screw that interdepartmental communication B.S.!
They were one of the early abusers of the DMCA hammer
How was it abuse? My experience with Blizzard's games leads me to believe they want to deliver their products with as few hitches and hiccups as possible. Adding mods to Diablo 2 would make the hitch and hiccup prevention far more difficult.

Do you know of any free alternatives that can be administered at the network/Domain level?

CmdrTaco, what's up with the crappy article? Are readers of /. the unsuspecting subjects of your evil experiment?
