I think your only valid option may be suicide. If you don't want to worry about anything, it might be best just to end it now. As an alternative, try focusing on what's importan to you, and making your part of the world better. Am I afraid of terrorists? No. Do I keep my eyes open to make sure no one's parking moving trucks in strange locations or wearing heavy winter coats in the middle of Texas in summertime. Sure I do.
At the hearing: "Your honor, it was addressed to whom it may concern. None of us were particularly concerned, so we trashed it."
As an alternative, they could just send backup tapes of the hard drives off of every server which FSF earns, and let Boies and company figure out how to extract the data. Extra points for using an obscure/obsolete tape format.
This is just great. I just ordered a service move from Oklahoma City to Austin. This means I'll probably have to wait until next month before my service is set up again. This happened to me once before. I moved to Arizona while US West was on strike, and had to go three weeks without a home phone.
Wasn't there something like this in Virtual Light? I think it was used to find missing persons by posting information on which celebrities the abducted/missing person looked like.
I only post them on Slashdot. I don't think anyone will think to look for anything sex related there. (And yes, my degree is legitimate.) And thanks for getting the lame joke, unlike the overly logical previous poster.
Don't tell the security officer's at the government agency I work for. Their solution will be to simply confiscate everyone's keyboard. Then we'll have to figure out how to type up all our documents without them.
So basically what you're implying is that everyone with a fake degree is probably also a dirty sex-pervert. At least he was good for some entertainment at the end of his career.
Unfortunately, a lot of them do. I got into an argument with two friends over this one day. One's the principal of a school in Austin, the other is a teacher there. They both feel that computer skills are the number one thing they need to teach to make sure that students are successful, while I believe that Math and Science are. (I'm a computer professional.)
The fourth person in the argument is a math teacher, (and soon to be head of her school's math department) who feels that computers are a distant second to Math, Science and Writing skills.
Unfortunately, the computer has become the panacea to bad teaching. They think that if you put a student in front of a computer and he is taught to use it, he'll magically acquire a competence in the pure sciences. Really, they'll be qualified to work as data-entry clerks, but the educators don't seem to understand that.
He's a guest of the State of California, where he's probably going to be indisposed for some time. I don't think his tactics are the best to employ though. It could have serious legal and ethical repercussions. Let's just send the bastard a couple of hundred catalogs.
I'm applying for a patent on my business model which involves abusing American Intellectual Property law by filing endless frivolous patents. (I'm hoping MS and SCO don't try to claim prior art.)
I've seen this problem. I noticed it during the Britney Spears pay-per-view concert. Sometimes it seemed like her lips weren't even moving at all, but she was still singing.
A wedding I went to in college had the bride dressed in a nice white business-like dress, and the groom in blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a button down shirt with no tie. The rest of the wedding party was dressed in kind. This was held in the biggest one of the biggest Churches in Lubbock, Texas, with the family and friends of the bride and groom in full attendance.
There's a very simple term for this kind of hiring. It's called "smart business". If somone proves that they can do something great for your competitors, like pull off a massive sales coup, then that's the kind of guy you want on your staff. The same applies to engineering, politics, and a host of other enterprises.
For example, the guy who designed the S2000 for Honda designed the 300ZX turbo for Nissan. (Both are benchmark designs for the auto industry.) David Gergen worked for both the Nixon and the Clinton administrations. (He may have worked for Reagan, but I'll need to check to be sure.) Hilary Clinton was president of her college's chapter of the Young Republicans, and technology companies exchange employees regularly.
They're going to be doing next to nothing for most of the time they're deployed, so why not hack them to run SETI@home as a bacground process. They already have networking through GPRS, so there should be no trouble trading data with the SETI servers.

Bastards... I knew there was a conspiracy at work here. ;)

I guess we have the next part for Keanu Reeves to play. It's at about his intelligence level too.
I haven't figured out their code naming system yet, but I'm sure there's some numeralogical way to add them up to 666.
No, but they are up the creek without a (x86-64) paddle.

I think we should all give them a call or send them a friendly letter letting them know what we think of their "service".
They need to let go of two more people: Darl McBride and David Boies.
Who said I was joking? (Other than the moderators?)

Of course a private can break it, but not as fast or effectively as a lieutenant.

Actually, the whole thing was the bride's idea. She didn't see the purpose of spending $1000+ on a dress she'd wear once.
A wedding I went to in college had the bride dressed in a nice white business-like dress, and the groom in blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a button down shirt with no tie. The rest of the wedding party was dressed in kind. This was held in the biggest one of the biggest Churches in Lubbock, Texas, with the family and friends of the bride and groom in full attendance.
The bride's mother was not happy.

but to avoid the cost of running a power line to ach and every meter
Why not just hook them to the lines from the old meters?

How long until they start getting ripped off for people to use in their digital cameras?
