Uh, the USPS is NOT a 'branch' of the federal government. The Postal Inspection Service is a federal law enforcement agency, but USPS itself is no longer run by the government.
Yes and no. I just did work for a client, and his Samsung printer only spoke PCL5, I believe. A little trickery with ghostscript and a port redirector (REDMON), however, and you can make any printer grok PS. Google for "OSX Windows XP print sharing", and that will put you in the right direction...
Of course if this Samsung engine does speak PS, then ignore me.:)
Er, yeah. That's only if your state adopted that particular portion of the UCC. (see your "State/Local Statutes")
Just because something is 'Uniform' doesn't mean that it's in force in your state. What, are the UCC police going to come and yell at Target or Walmart if they don't play along?
Not exempt, but the difference is when private corps do things wrong, they go out of business.
What, like the US airlines that were bailed out by the US government? Seems like they boned themselves pretty good, but they all seem to be flying planes still.
Maybe, just MAYBE, if folks in your town payed a flat fee for water, and you walked down the street checking everyone's outdoor water nozzles, and took a drink where they were turned on for use, MAYBE that analogy might relate to the story. But the unlocked door analogy, especially in this situation, is NOT THE FUCKING SAME THING.

Have you ever read any of those Oracle books? If I lived in that twilight zone episode where the dude is in the library after a nuclear bomb hits, and the only books were Oracle books, I'd stomp my glasses to bits before I would read any one of those pieces of trash.
Here, I'll write a book for you right now:

How can you destruct something that doesn't exist?
Oh, yeah, drat. There goes your house of cards.
Moron.

Thank you. Analogies suck (especially mine) but you captured the absurdity of this situation quite perfectly.
FTP over TLS or FTP over SSL, anyone?
Not.
The.
Same.

Honestly, I do not blame the UK government for going down on this guy...
Hmm, UK justice is very different from US justice...
If I'm still using a computer as we know it in 10 years, I will be highly dissapointed.
Ra-di-o? What is this .. ra-di-o you speak of?

I guess your time (spent answering telemarketing calls/dealing with donotcall) is not worth anything, then!
Now that's the windows way of thinking!
Yeesh, thank god I don't have to use that crap at work.

Yeah, those hicks sound 'sexy' if you like your women to sound like morons who have a mouth full of marbles. Ah-hyuck!
Whatever. You're a moron if you think they don't use 'napalm'.

Tie - Must be conservative, nothing George Bush wouldn't wear.
... and for the ladies,
Felt hats should be of high-quality (e.g. Stetson), and any dress hat should cost more than $100.
Yeah, because it's how much the hat costs that counts.
Skirt Suit - No pants allowed, ever. The suit must be dark blue, gray or charcoal.
Wow. I can't wait to work for these morons. Where do I sign up?
Anyone who hires this moronic company to do work deserves what they get.
Put your Windows XP CD in an Xbox. Tell me what happens. Hey, they both use Intel processors, so it should Just Work, eh?
