    An FBI agent installed software on a machine on which he wasn't authorized. That's a crime. He acted as an agent when it suited him and then claimed he was acting as a civilian when that suited him.

    Knowing what assholes FBI agents can be, and how easy it is to wipe a drive if you really want to, I have to wonder if this isn't an elaborate frame job.

    Even if the principal is guilty, so is the agent. Corrupt law enforcement officers are worse than pedophiles.

    And that is why I will rarely thank modern veterans "for their service". When they tell me that they were against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I apologize for not preventing the real traitors, primarily Bush and Company, for risking soldiers lives to accomplish their greedy missions. When they tell me that those wars were righteous, I walk away.

    I would shake the hand of Bradley Manning. I'd be tempted to punch GWB in the face.

    It's a good question and, without doing any more research than having lived near Boston for 50 years, I'll say it's because Boston is a clusterfuck (Hub of the Universe. is what they tell us).

    Just take a look at the Big Dig project and you'll understand. Boston has its charm but it has always been, and will always be, a civil engineering nightmare.

  8. OT on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now you may all ask yourself what any of this has to do with turkey, and you'd be right for asking. I wish there was a simple answer but, friends, it ain't simple. It's Thanksgiving.

    Alice's Restaurant
    By Arlo Guthrie

    This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
    restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,
    that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's
    Restaurant.

    You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
    You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
    Walk right in it's around the back
    Just a half a mile from the railroad track
    You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

    Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on
    Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the
    restaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the
    church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and
    Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
    room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,
    seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn't
    have to take out their garbage for a long time.

    We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd be
    a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So
    we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW
    microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed
    on toward the city dump.

    Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the
    dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dump
    closed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove off
    into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.

    We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the
    side road there was a fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the
    cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile
    is better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we
    decided to throw ours down.

    That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving
    dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
    next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
    we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
    garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
    I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
    under that garbage."

    After speaking to Obie for about forty-five minutes on the telephone we
    finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down
    and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the
    police officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the
    shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the
    police officer's station.

    Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at
    the police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal for
    being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and
    we didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out
    and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,
    which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
    there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was
    both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think I
    can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.
    Get in the back of the patrol car."

    And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
    quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of
    Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where this happened here, they got three stop

  12. Re:Bad juju? on Anonymous Attacks Israeli Websites In Response To IDF Operation In Gaza · · Score: 1

    Yes, we know that the Jews are hated. That's why they lost Israel in the first place. The creation of modern Israel was absolutely the right thing to do. How many more centuries should Jews have been kept from their homeland? Israel and Judaism existed since well before Islam or Christianity. It's (some) followers of those two newer faiths that have attempted, time and time again, to deny Jews or their rights.

    Every time Israel makes concessions to its neighbors, it is repaid with military and terrorist attacks. Gaza is represented by Hamas which both the US and EU classify as a terrorist organization. The Palestinians chose their path and they will have to deal with the consequences. They will lose the Gaza strip.
