  1. Let the internet back it up on Hosting a Highly Inflammatory Document? · · Score: 1

    You made no mention of its size so I'm assuming only ~50-200 MB.

    Buy the cheapest laptop/netbook you can find. Go to a free netcafe and torrent it*. Be sure to link here, digg, 4chan, everywhere to ensure quick propagation. Post to wikileaks like so many have said (from somewhere else). Don't host it personally, let the internet back it up.

    Create a gmail account, email to every news agency you can think of.

    Get a bunch of thumbdrives, load them up with it, give them to anyone who would care about this.

    *Will take a long time, maybe try and find a library with free wifi and abandon the laptop on a secluded shelf (I suggest the legal/tax law section). Ensure no fingerprints or hairs are on it. Heck buy a refurnished laptop and let the previous owner's information throw them off you.

    Get a bunch of flashdrives and turn every computer in a library into a seeder, I hear bitcomet can be run off a flashdrive. If you use those tiny microdrives you could hide them in the back of a machine and the rest of the world will take forever to find them (forever defined as long enough to get the internet to seed them).

    Get a lawyer for if they do find you out.

    You're basically giving ISPs an excuse to charge more money. "Sure you can have a Email server, just pay $39.99 for the first three months then $69.99 after that."

    "till death do us part ..." unless I want a divorce, leave, etc. There are no obligations that aren't ritual. The only time that people are forced to fulfill an obligation is child support, which even people who never got married can be forced to pay (if they are the father or she claims they are).

    According to jasonwc the Bowers v. Hardwick case you linked to was over turned by Lawrence, therefore that at least has been changed.

    As for your list of laws, many of those are not specifically same sex only, many are all sexes (and based on the way these laws are worded most probably include "deviant conduct").
    • Kansas (Class B misdemeanor, this is the clearest defined one.)
    • Missouri (Class A misdemeanor, uses "deviate sexual intercourse", doesn't specify sodomy, but also doesn't list straight deviant relations. I hate euphemisms.)
    • Oklahoma (Felony, if it fits under 886. Crime against nature which doesn't specify sodomy. Ergo open to interpretation by courts.)
    • Texas (Class C misdemeanor, 21.06 Homosexual conduct "Found unconstitutional by state Court of Appeals England v. Dallas. (See Morales v. State 1994)". According to this "City of Dallas v. England" used "Morales v. State" to decide that same-sex relations can't be punished and (in regards to a police dept. not hiring a lesbian because of her being a lesbian).)
    • Michigan's hard to tell, your source doesn't clear it up much. All the various "Gross indecency between $x and $y persons" have the same punishment for any combination of $x and $y so I think this one applies to all sexes.

    ~4(depending on interpretation)/50 states having special anti-gay laws that don't apply to hetero couples isn't that bad when you consider that laws stay on the books until legislators get around to removing them (read:"never" because of constituents' voting practices, and individuals don't matter, only how the law is applied (see Texas).).

    I'm still all for the abolishment of marriage and gov't activity in such areas period.

    I don't think issue is sex, I'm unaware of any place in the US which enforces anti-gay sex laws. Sure participants get dirty looks but you can get those even if you're straight and unmarried. I thought the issue was marriage, or more specifically government recognization of marriage and the benefits associated with it.

    Personally I believe no marriages (straight/gay/polygamous/monogamous/etc.) should be recognized by the government instead any codependent unit should be eligible for the same tax breaks and should be recognized as a single entity by courts.

    Instead of writing in binary you could write the data in a base-36 format and then convert back to binary. The stone cutters could then store more data per glyph increasing their write rate considerably (and decreasing read rate) by amounts I am unwilling to calculate.
